In the absence Of President Cramblett
Mr. Cochran conferred the degrees and
presented the diplomas. following the

tho court Of appeals of the state Of Ohio.
Judge Farr is member OF the board Of
trustees Of Bethany and resident OF
Lisbon Ohio.
,, This is the dawn Of a new day" said
the speaker. What a wonderful privi-
lcgc II is to live in these years. in this
twentieth century and to sec the world
recover itself from a world war. This
Pis the day Of a world TO be, day In
| which conquest is turning into victory
and peace.
Three million colonists have increased
to one hundred million loyal Americans.
Stars have been added to the folds OF
! our flag. Literature. art science and
inventive genius all point towards n
greater and more wonderful land. Prov
| idcnce has kept things moving on the
square and We stand at the dawn OF
T. - M
tional excellence.
THE new world will bring to the
points Of fame the educated farmer.
Agricultural education is to be the one
great thing OF this new day. We have
come to the full realization that farm
ing needs byain as we'll as Drawn. Sixty
five percent OF the colleges Of America
have installed agricultural courses and
We have found out that II Is a mistake
to say that boy is too bright TO send
to n farm. Farmers Of America aston
ished the world with their production
during the world war and Luther Bur-
bank has astonishcd civilization with
his accomplishments.
We have come to the day when We
must devote more time to scientific
road construction and improvements.
Fertile fields. busy factories and easy
methods of transportation make peo-
pie wealthy and happy
Soon we will be dcvoting our time to
better schools. The time Of the little
red school house has gone by and the
dawn Of a new day has come. the day
Of the centralized modern school. Real
heart to heart instruct on will replace
the old time country teacher with the
paddle board at easy access.
LAS TO domestic science in schools.
We can all testify To that. 1t is won
derful in its work at Bethany, and its
/ benefits arc admitted by US all.
"A new day has dawned in Christen-
dom. Homes have begun to 1urnanize
religion. 1t is not 81 much new religion
that We need but little more CT the
old. Christianity is not all in the Bible.
Much Of it depends on living up to its
teachings We should live 1t as it was
taught by that great Alexander Camp
bell whose ashes rest on yonder hill.
There Is more Christianity in bas-
ket OF groceries sent to the homo Of a
poor widow struggling 10 provide for
her children than in any sermon. but so
few Of us practice that kind Of Chris
tianity. Yes. a new day is dawning. and
more OF us are becoming charitable.
People who feel unwelcomr in fash
ionabIc. in wealthy and aristocrattc
churches need not worry: God has been
trying 10 get into those churches for 10
these many years
At this point Judge Farr paid beau-
tiful tribute to the boys Of the American
Expcditionary Forces. who he said had
whipped the Huns n dozen times before
the Germans had brains enough 10 real

The speaker predicted a new day for
Bethany and said II would measure up
to all Of the problems the old school IS
facing He asked blessings on the grad
yates and told them that they would get
out Of life exactly what they put into II.
Mr. A. E McBcc. Of New York, trus-
tee OF the school. spoke briefly predict
ing a new day for Bethany and asking
the cooperation Of all OF the schools
friends 10 bring il about.
This concluded the days exercises and
