Special Dispatch TO The Star.
BALTIMORE. Md, June g.
Commencement exercises are "use-
less, and a waste Of students
time" according to Archbishop
Curley.
They should be abolished. par
ticularly for girls schools he de-
clared. speaking at Mount st.
Agnes College exercises.
Plans for the event waste the
time of students and faculty, cause
jealousies and develop frivolity,
he said
The spirit of emulation moves
the student of slender means to
make great efforts to equal the cos
tunes, the flowers and other expen-
sive incidentals indulged in by chill
dren Of w"llthier parents.
Moreover, for four to six weeks
before their graduation students
are being taught how to go through
the exercise and receive diplomas
properly. That time is lost to their
education.
''At girls schools particularly,
the students for six months are
thinking Of what they will wear.
Their minds are not on their studies
or on what the commencement
really means.
