THE bACCALAUREATF ADDRESS TO THE
SENIOR CLASS Of THE HIGH SCHOOL

cation upon the history of the whole
world. Never have opportunities
been offered such as now, and con-
gratulate and felicitate you upon
them.
''We are not only in revolution.
but we are a revolution. You are
reading and assimilating news and
ideas that the world never knew he.
fore. There never was such mo-
ment in all education as now. The
tendency toward the realm of ap.
piled science is particularly marked.
Although believe firmly in the cul-
tured value of the classical educa.
tion, yet l can understand the move
ment toward the technical and voca-
tional world. In fact, the world is
being made over, from the bottom up.
and everything is in the flux.
"The world is looking for the man
who sees and knows and applies his
knowledge. We are reading today
that chemical supremacy no longer
rests with Germany, but that in three
years our laboratories have developed
that science until we no longer need
look abroad for our needs. The world
is not conquered yet, for everything
is field for investigation and you
by your requirements in this school
may so on and on to reach supremacy.
This is also an age of applied democ-
racy. When the Pilgrims came to
America, all the world laughed their
efforts to scorn. 1--WE need not fear
those fellows over there-they know
nothing Of government" Time went
on and this democracy grew, but au-
tocracy still held its crushing sway
in Europe. There were mistakes
made and the advocates Of democracy
trembled. The crowned autocrats de-
clared that if you want anything eff
ficient in government 1t must be done
through autocracy. Yet today, after
the awful challenge to democracy.
made in August, 1914, we find all
Europe organized with us in great
fight for government by the peo-
pie; we find that organization as
wonderfully complete and efficient
as that which it took autocracy forty
years to organize.
81 would rather have finger in
the formation Of that democratic pie
than any governmental pie that the
world has ever known. l would rath-
er have a voice in the shaping Of
democracy than in anything in the
world. Why, even China is waking
up-the instinct of 1776 has gotten
into the heather Chinee:
"There never was time when there
was such a chance for religion
never such an appeal-for the world
is reaching out for brotherhood and
sisterhood. You have felt this. This
class is not all here tonight. When
l heard the noble response that some
of your members had made to the
call for standing by our government
when l heard of the volunteering
of members of your faculty for this
noble cause, said, That is fine You
have all had chance to do your duty
and stay by the school, and help
and it was fine work. In all life's
work be your best, do your best and
quit We like men,

Geo. Draper Leads Raid o.
Opium Dive in Memphis.

l Hubert Fisher, u. S. district
attorney, spent several hours to-
day, taking the testimony of nine
dope fiendS, who were caught in
! a raid on an opium den at $50 N.
} Front ST., last night. Five of
} the witnesses are white and four
are negroes,
The evidence secured from the
drug addicts will be used against
Willie Spoilers and Jno Fontain,
who are charged with operating
the Front st. dive. They will be
given preliminary, hearing be-
} fore a U. s. commissioner, late
this afternoon.
Two of the white persons, ar
rested are women. One of them
is only girl. She told the off
GERS she came to Memphis sever
al weeks ago, to work in a five
and 10-cent store, during the
Christmas holidays.
In addition to the IL persons
arrested, officers making the raid
recovered number eff gold
watches, several gold Elk and
other lodge emblems, more than
a dozen razors, three pistols, sew
eral boxes of cigars, and chew
ing tobacco, 20 hypodermic need
les, two opium pipes, a quantity
OF opium, a bottle of morphine
and a bottle of cocaine.
Deputy, Geo. Draper, who led
the raiding party, says in the ar
rest of Willie Spoilers one of the
worst dives in the city has been
broken up. He contributes the
numerous holdups and robberies
that have occurred along Front
st. to dope fiends who have made
their headquarters at 28O N.
Front st.
When the officers approached
the dive last night, an alarm was
sounded, but they rushed the
building before those inside knew
what was coming off. After
nine of the party had been ar
rested, the officers were about to
leave the house, when they dis
covered white man and negro
woman hidden under a bed quiet
y smoking an opium pipe,
The 'fiends" made a pitiful
sight in the district attorneys

begged for codeine.
