 part from his subject as originally
 announced, Governor Brough took for
 his text the three syllables of the
 word Arkansas" in their phonetic
 signifcance-"Are," Can" and Saw
 You are cultured, you are efficient and
 you are patriotic, ne said to the class. Culture, he declared, is the only mark
 left by the great nations of antiquity
 and the only enduring monument to 1 any people is it's culture. In this con- nection he paid a beautiful tribute
 to President Wilson, and said he would go down in history as one of the worlds greatest men. Nothing is more valuable than the culture which can be obtained in college. 1 From financial standpoint alone, he said, an educated life has $40,000 more earning power than an unedu- cated life. Better times for teachers, he predicted, are coming as soon as the people have time to provide means of securing additional funds for edu- cation.
 The class is also efficient in it's power to render service, the speaker said. He hoped that the majority would go to rural schools, where the uplift of more efficient education was so greatly needed, and around which S3 per cent of the population of this state reside. Teaching, next to the ministry, he declared is the noblest of the professions.
 The class is patriotic, he also said, and this patriotism should be cor rectfy directed to inspire the greatest love for country among those whom the class would teach. Despite the than representative government has gone too far" the governor said, "wc have the grandest government in the world" He pointed to the nations re- cent enormous gains in shipping and in world trade and to the great field of opportunity in Central and South America. It was here that the speak CT made his prediction of American intervention in Mexico in the early future.
 Under the second syllable-topic, "Can," the governor said the mem bers of the class could accomplish anything they set their minds to do. With a spirit of determination and the training you have received, you can do anything" he said.
 Saw" he interpreted as vision, and men and women of vision are needed in every department of life, he said. Lack of vision, selfishness and pre- judice, the speaker declared, were re- sponsible for the United States not being in the league of nations today. The people will expect returns from their talented men and women.
 Concluding his address, Governor Brough urged that everyone be given an equality of opportunity and said that education is the only means of giving it. "I crave for the people of Arkansas" he said, mot wealth, not influence, but education"
 In introducing Chairman Bond of the trustees, President Torreyson said he was more active in all lines of educational endeavor and more eff cient in bringing about betterment of educational conditions than any of his predecessors in the position.
 Before presenting the diplomas, MT. Bond in a brief talk referred to the fact that 5000 students had attend ed the Normal since it's establishment and this number equalled one-third of the 5000 white teachers in the state. Three hundred have graduated from the Normal, equivalent to one eight of the college graduates en- gagged in teaching in the state. He said he felt hopeful that an amend ment to the constitution would be adopted taking the limit off for To- cal school purposes, so that the best teaching talent could be kept in that profession.
 Diplomas conferring the degree of licentiate of instruction were then upon the following: Lel- Ian Akin, Toka Anderson, Lulu Doyle Baird, Fleta Fern Bolin, Vivian Arene Bullock, Maude c. Clemons, Council n
