COMMENCEMENT SUNDAY

The day dawned clear and the
sun rose bright. II was an ideal
day for baccalaurcate Sunday. Ev-
cry one looked his best. The long
procession Of students formed at
lOI5 and marched from Ladies'
Hall TO the Chapel headed by Pres
ident Frost and the Alliance work
ers.
DR.. c. r. Raymond preached the
baccalaureate sermon. 10 was an
inspiring and helpful sermon. not
only for the graduates but for all
who were present. Following the
sermon President Frost gave he
charge To- the graduates. This was
made even more effective by the
fact that this is the last class that
DR.. Frost will address in his pres
ent capacity.
The annual sermon to the relig-
ious societies was delivered by the
Rev. Chas. :. knight, pastor Of the
First Baptist Church Of pontioc.
Mich. The hearty greetings which
he received upon arising to speak
was slight manifestation Of the
Place which he has in the hearts
Of so many Berea people. His SER
mon was evangclistic and his ap-
peal to the students TO yield them
selves 10 christ was strong.

Among the exhibits which will be
seen here during Commencement
there will be none which will be
enjoyed more than the one in room
50 in the chapel The Industrial
Arts class under Miss Berlet have
done some good work. The pretty
Leedle work will especially be en-
joyed by the women and girls.
There will be found kimonas,
aprons, luncheon sets, table run
ners, towels, etc.
In the same room are the draw
ings made by the Normal students.
some are in pen and ink; some in
pencil; and some in pastel. All
these have been made in the last
half of the term, because the first
half was taken up in text book work
along this line.
Then there pre- the toys. Ele-
plants, bears birds, camels, rab-
bits, boys, girls, and lots OF other
tnngs, are to be seen. These have
been made by the children and Nor
nal students. The purpose of toy
making is two-fold. II gives the
child higher appreciation OF the
toy to have made ii. He will be
more careful Of il than he will Of
the flimsy thing made only TO be
sold. Then, too, in making il he

Berea's New President
Author of Prize Moral Code for Children

need a children's morality code that

thing prepared by the best brains of
the educational profession
Through Mr.. Fairhild, this man
authorized the National Institution
foe Moral Instruction to offer a prize
ol $1,000 and to conduct a country

sired code lie agreed, also, TO pay
The expenses of the contest.

name must be kept secret. He was

membership Of which, besides Mr..
Fairchild, included Philander p.
Claxton, United states Commission
er of Education; Willard 5. Small,
principal of the Eastern High
school; William C. Ruediger, dean
Of the Teachers College, George
v ashington University; and Miss
Margaret Bell Merrill, a teacher Of
Western High School, all of Wash
iDgton ID. c.
The contest ran for a year, from
Washington's birthday, 1915, until
Washington's birthday, 1917. State
superintendent of education were
cCllaborators TO select the code
writers. There were seventy origi-
nal competitors. Every state fur
n,shed at least one. Some had more
tEGn one. For instance, New York
had six, Pennsylvania five, Massa-
chusetts four. Each writer was TO
produce a code of not more than
three thousand words, in two parts:
first for elementry school children,
and second, for high school boys
and girls.
The writers were urged to discuss
their work with as many persons
a. possible, so that public opinion
al! over the country might be re-
ticcted. Upward of ten thousand
are believed to have given help.
OF the seventy writers, a few fell
by the wayside. However, fifty
two codes were submitted and ten
others nearly finished. These viii
be completed, and all will be re-
vised for publication in two books,
ore for elementry schools and one
f." high schools.
Three judges of national reputa-
ton decided the contest: Prof. |
George Trumbull Ladd, of Yale Uni
vcrsity, the chairman, represented |
general scholarship in ethics and
the social sciences; Associate Jus
tlce MahlOn Pitney, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, inter-.
pIeted the Constitution and the
broad legal history of the nation,
and Mrs. Philip North Moore, of
ST Louis, president of the National
Council of women, presented the
views of the women and the home
regarding morality.
These judges worked almost
year over the decision, for the ex-
;cptiOnal quality of most of the
documents made choice extremely
iifllcult. The judges did not know
he names Of the writers, the codes
1cing identified TO them merely by

n this way, until, one by one, they
we're rejected and only the win
ling code remained. II was NO.

ALL IS NOT ROSY
FOR E[K0 AIR MAIL

Colonel Jordan, the representative
OF the postoffice department in the
aerial mail planes, was a visitor to
Elko yesterday, says the Free Press,
He announced that Elko was ex-
pected to build a $4,000 hangar in or
der to secure the mail station, and
that the department would invest an
equal sum in the construction of
other buildings. The proposition will
be taken up by the city council at its
next meeting, but as the city is with
out funds, it is doubtful If the city
will comply with the request. They
have put the field in splendid condi-
ton. as requested by the postoffice
department, who will promise MOTH
ing definite in the permanent loca-
tion of the mail station at this place.
Colonel Jordan said that it was the
intention of the department to start
the mail planes before the tenth Of
the coming month, and to carry but
sufficient gas and oil to fly from EIko
to Salt Lake, but that later on when
larger planes would be used, it was
probable that enough gas and oil
would be carried to make the flight
from Salt Lake to Reno without stop
ping at Elko.

THE QUESTION IS:
WHICH MEANT IT?

Twas dark and Silly night. Not
even the breath of a breeze stirred
the heavy dust which lay in deep fur
rows like ribbon placed between the
shadowy sage. In the distance, the
twinkling lights of Winnemucca
CLEANED their brilliance against the
black horizon.
An automobile stood silently in the
roadway, its detected driver looking
mournfully into its empty fuel tank,
when out upon the night air came the
steady whirr of an Elizabeth twin
two. Hating beside the stranded
vehicle. the occupant of the Elizabeth
offered assistance to- the stranded
stranger.
Can we give any help?" asked the
occupant as the face of the unfortu-
nate one turned to the headlight
glare. then recognizing him: What's
wrong, Jerryg
Just out of gasoline. that's all,
Cliff"
We'll get some for you," and the
'Lizabeth jumped forward at light
ming speed, returning shortly with a
large can of the all important fluid,
which the stranded one gratefully ac-
cepted. and after pouring it into the
Unsuitable NAV of the auto. started
his engine.
The twin-two stood by to render
what further assistance it could.
As the relieved car started off it's
driver was heard to say Very much
obliged. Senator"
And the other replied: You're
entirely welcome. Senator"
And the all enfolding night en-
quilted them both. as their red tail
lights diverged in the distance.

morrow night.
1t is said that some of the feats
performed by this dog are remark
able and he displays almost human
intelligence. The director merely
pantomined the part that he intended
for the dog to act out, and without
moments hesitation the animal went
through the scene exactly as the di-
rector rehearsed him. Teddy" will

it with large number of their coun-

Nevada should know, from Cali

are not desirable residents, no mat
ter in what line they engage. and
profiting by that experience their
scheme of colonization should be
nipped in the bud.

not be done by the Asiatics and at the
eventual cost of the whites. 1t were
better the land remain idle than be
given up to the brown race.
