!. John Shillin, assistant State Su-
perintendent of Schools of Della
ware, in charge of high schools, gave
the address to the graduates. He
said that any step which the local

From the abundance of his know
ledge and from the fruits of his ex-
perience as supervisor, he gave a
string practical address upon the
are not measured by length, or
. breadth, or time. The incorporeal
things of life have value which
cannot be priced, but should never
he neglected. Character must not be
neglected. The name of Abraham
n Lincoln was always good on a note
even though he had nothing but his
own reputation to back it up. Ideals
q always exist. The men who built the
pvramids were urged on by the same
fundamental ideas as the men who
built the coliseum and those who
are building the church of st. John
= the Divine.
Michael Faraday, a noted physl-
Acist. long ago showed how a wire
rotating between a positive and
negative pole might produce cleo,
y tricity. Today electricity is used in
all fields of industry. The physicist
. has also proven that the atom is one
of the smallest divisions of matter,
and that all atoms have an electro.
= magnetic influence. Thus has the
world of electricity expanded since
the day of Gladstone. Someone ask

= why could not people telephone by
wireless? incidentally it happened

messages were sent by telephone.

of man have always been there, but
the individual through his character,
. perseverance and ingenuity must
bring them forth and present them
to the world. The success OF the
high school graduates is in the
things about him, he must bring IL
forth. The motto of the class is
"Work and Win"
