(Continued from Dm page) • ; , the lion's share of credit legitimately 1 audience; for after all it was to them went. i The celebrations of the evening were j the result of eight years of patient I application, and hard xyork in the classroom. A public school teacher \ • eldom occupied, a position of prom- ! ■ iuencc before the public; the work of , a teacher was not spectacular. It was ! j unseen and often unrecognized; nevertheless the teacher wielded as great; influence, as that of any particular per- j son or profession in the making of a Borrowing a strikingly apt illustra- ! ■"tinn from the methods, by means of: which Germany had bui|t up the most 1 perfect and powful fighting machine, the world has ever known, Prof.;, iteichly said that this year the Amer- 1 ( ictth schools would send out an army, j ( numbering between eight and nine;, hundred thousand pupils, into the!, .wiiler field.T-of human endeavor and,, With such an array yearly incrcas- ; j ing. of young men and women edu- , cated and cultured, the future of the nation was assured.

Kightly, the speaker stated, that since the days of the great Napoleon, ! no individual had exercised an influoncc'as great, and as pdtent for good, I upon European politics, as David : , Lloyd George. He is the greatest statesman since ; the days of Pitt, and his name jn the; future annals of England and English ; politics, will eclipse the names of i Iiaconsfield. Gladstone and Salisbury.! Mr. Stevens, Jr., stated that David; Lloyd George was a typical repre-| .tentative of democracy, and a living, exemplification of the power of de- ' mocracy. Boyn of humble parents, as re- : ligious as they were poor, through the j assistance of an uncle, David Lloyd | George was educate'1 for the legal" profession. / Returned to Parliament represent- j ing the county of Carnarvon, his rise into power \Fas phenomenal.

Imperial Parliament Tor 1 , ; the British Empire. * The Salutatorian's oration Was a ' masterly effort, "clothed /in choice Ian- . . and diction. antPdelivered with . t; telling effect. \ - J ' The oration bearing the caption, , ' j "The 'Great Solution," by Richard,) ' Torbert. revealed a careful study of the economical relations, ex- , ' | iftiiar between capital and labor. | ;j It was also a very sane and sound t [ j attempt, to solve the problems arising I ' j out of such relations. ' Mr. Torbert traced the evolution of , , ! the two respective parties, through ' r : the past history of the race, in a man- < . ,nor which showed extensive reading. I There was no attempt (the weak- • ness of far too many partizans in the i • field of industrial economics), to gad- I : die the blame upon one party more ' ; j than another; the speaker recognized ' ; j that neither was free from blame, and 1 j that both looked upon the problems.' ; arising from a clash of interests be- i tween capital and labor, from two ncc-fl cssarily antagonistic viewpoints, under [ the present social order. f John it u. skin would have agreed I ; with the speaker's strong appeal for < s I closer friendship, greater cooperation ' ' j and a more equitable division of plo- [ fits between capital ami labor. 1 ' j Miss Catherine Gordon represented 1 ' I her sex among the orators of the eve- > ; ning with honor. Her oration written - under the title, "Men Who are .Making 1 ! America," was comprehensive and I - complete. • Every day, since the Declaration of 1 f Independence, she declared, h ys i brought forth great men for America^. Many began life in poor and humble f circumstances, achieving greatness by ' sheer force of character and applica- j 1 tion. They liecame great because they " studied more, and labored harder, than 1 t their fellows; spending and being spent, not so much for Monetary gain, ' as for the joy of achievement. ' o America has produced great men in' - every department in life. Industry' has its Andrew Carnegie, John D. t Rockefeller and Charles Schwab; while in the world of invention, Amer- - ica has Thomas Ellison. American I, statesmen were not inferior to the <1 sjatoamen of any nther nation, while fir its spiritual leaders it has Dr. c . Russell Con well, Dr. Lyman Abbott, o John R. Mott and many others. h The Valedictorian of the year was f 1 Paul Chapman Rice, who delivered a '• very thoughtful study of the life and d , character of "Dante, one of the world's - 1 greatest poets." g It must be said that the immortal - Florentine, received in goodly measure from the hands of Mr. Rice, the jus- - tice and honor denied him by his e i compatriots. d | The pathos and the . tragedy of il" Dante's life and career, were force- ! fully and vividly portrayed. Driven to wander from place to c . place, friendless and homeless, Dante's ;t | thoughts became transferred from the n | visible to the invisible world, and his >t i excursions through the unseen are ileif scribed with magic eloquence -in the-

Dr. 1 . i Schntuckcr's commencement address . ! , assumed the form of a powerful and j convincing defense, in behalf of the J voting man and maiden "if today, ' . j against many false charges and much c j covert innuendo. ' "Never hi the history of the world," . said Dr. Schmucker, "has therejbeen known a finer quality, and a~nighev , calibre of youhg manhood and woman- ] hood, tl\an we have today." Older folk are inclined to wax eln- s ■ quent, and expatiate at length, upon ^ > what they are pleased to regard as „ Vigns of deterioration in the young of n • the present age.

They are superior physically', for they have a | better knowledge of the laws of ' health, and have outjQpwn many of 1 the old supcrstitutions, especially that , 1 which regardeii a bath, as a sacred in- , • stitution reserved for the Sabbath. They were superior intellectually, ; superior politically. They are more ' ' vigorous, and have ideals, far higher ^ than those of a past generation. , [ Concluding a masterly speech, full of wit and wise counsel, he ad- „ monished the class to continue their | studies, retain at all costs their ideals, ,

and suffer not the cynic to distort - ; their outlook upon life and its duties. A group of girls under the leadership of Miss Corson.
