Midyear Commencement Exercises

Award of Diplomas.

Pursuit of ideals rather than the pur-
suit of gold. need for the extension of
vocational education. compulsory edu-
cation and the free text book system
in the United States. and an optimistic
outlook with abundant opportunities
for the future, were some of the
thoughts expressed by Secretary Will
son of the Department of Labor in an
address at the commencement exercises
held at Business High School last even
ing. Diplomas were presented to mem
bers of both the midyear two and four
year classes.
Secretary Wilson placed particular
stress upon his young auditors holding
to high ideals through their lives
ideals of helpfuiness to their fellow
men. He said abundant opportunities
remained for the young men and
women of to-day in the world. 1t was
possible, he said, that opportunities for
amassing great fortunes were not so
numerous now as formerly, but the
acouisition of wealth is one of the
smallest of opportunities open to man.

is therefore very difficult and often
subject to the jewelers. judgment. For
this reason Professor RosiWal gives to
the layman the following hints: Stones

"StoneS of the second water are nu-

"Thcre are oftendmes traces of vel

The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1916-08-31

When during the Taft administration
it was proposed in the United States
to intervene in Mexico, Mr.. Root de-
uounced the idea, saying; Granting
that Injuries have been done to Ameri-
can citizens that ought to be REFRESHED;
that wounds have been inflicted, that
lives have been taken. d. 1t does not
follow, sir, that we should begin the
process of securing redress for those
injuries by a threat of force on the
part Of great and powerful nation
against smaller and weaker nation.
That, sir, is TO revise the policy Of the
United States and take step backward
in the pathway Of civilization"
When in February, 1913, Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson at Mexico City
appealed TO the Taft government at
Washington to address the Mexican
government OF Madero in a firm,
drastic and perhaps menacing" style
for the protection Of American inter
ests, Secretary Of State Knox refused
on the ground that such an attitude
might possibly precipitate what the
United States was trying TO avoid,
namely, intervention. At that time,
according to Ambassador Wilson, be
tween 10 and 50 Americans had al
ready been murdered.
