l successful future of these United States depended wholly upon the edu-
 cation of the coming generation to be- come true American citizens in every
 sense of the word.E He impressed for 1 cibly upon the minds of. the graduat- I ing class. the great responsibility | which rested upon these young ladies | soon to take up that very work in l following their vocation. Seldom, if
 ever before, said MT. Burr, has such a golden opportunity Zen presented to Ia class of graduates to perform such
 ent facing them. MT. Burr drew al 1 vivid picture of the unrest and tur- moil now brewing in this country, al
 menace to it's future peace and suc- cess, among the thousands of aliens l here, and went on to say that the only way to eliminate it was through the
 medium of education in the schools. Only in that way can it be. accom- ' plished and then very gradually MT. Burr's intensely interesting address
 was followed by two selections by the
 chorus. after which Mr. Shaffer pre-
 scented the diplomas The singing of
 the school song, Alma Mater, brought | the exercises to a close. The pro- gram with the list of graduates fol- lows:
