During his absence Mrs. Mazanti is conducting Danceland in this city. Last evening another class was graduated from La Grande's public school. Another class of bright, healthy boys and grris hav. started , An life following the number of years each has spent in earnest preparation ' in the schools of the city. j It is a direct tribute to our school i system, to our community organi-! zation and to the ability and earnest ness of the teachers employed to j turn out as likely young men and young women as those who last even ing heard the final word in common ' school life when they listened to the commencement address. The speaker, Mr. Price, dwelt on reeded economic conditions in life, praised the young lady graduates for putting a five dollar limit on graduation gowns and the praise was entirely proper. That this has been a very success ful school year under Superintendent John Girdler's administration there ic no question. So far as we can learn the standard of an already good school system has been raised; the requirements increased, and pupils trained to meet requirements demanded. La Grande is justly proud of her schools and this does not mean her high school entirely, for the grade teachers have done excellent work. It is gratifying to know that most of the present teachers will return next year. Changing teachers is like changing congressmen. If re sults are wanted and a community has a good crop of instructors it never pays to change.

We respectfully solicit your business. La Grande National Bank a Grande, Oregon I flowery periods and exquisitely pol ished rhetorical forms. It contained, as it were, the sum total of a busy and widely known man's philosophy of life, who begins to realize that popularity and esteem of men' is but fleeting and that the only thing that brings security and independence in this life are the material things of life. r. In conformity with this phijbsophy he advjsed all of , the. graduates to make the resolution of the' gm grad uates a rule of life, striving by eco nomy and the proper disdain of friv olous and costly things, to lay by each year the sum of $100 for thirty years after which time, the girls would be economically independent and the young men would be enabled to execute the ambitious dreams of their heyday period of life. Along the line of this reasoning', Mr. Pierce stated tnat he, as regent of the Oregon Agricultural college, would, next year, introduce a resolu tion that will require each person of. that institution to satisfactorily pass an examination in the correct com posing, punctuating and typewriting of a letter as a condition precedent to receiving a diploma from the school. In speaking specificplly o' the work that can be done by women, he advised the young ladies to become teachers, 'making the significant re mark in reference to their value and worth, that most of the reform which has made itself felt in this country is the work of the school "marm" that since the Civil War period most of the tremendous progress in peda gogical work has been done by wo men. "I,oarn to do the ordinary things that the world constantly requires," said he, "and for this reason I would suggest that each girl also learn typewriting. His closing remarks dealt with moral precept and among the signi ficant statements in this connection he asserted that all should try to be honest but should not bank on the honesty of others, for they would often not find it. "Do things for the sake of conscience," said he, "for virtue is its own reward. Populari ty is an accident and is fickle, but character is enduring. Be grateful but do not expend it on others." This address was followed by a select number by Messrs. Fer riri Stooilard and Davis, the presen tation of diplomas by Principal 01 san and a chorus number. There wore about TOO persons in the nudi torium to witness what seemed to be a ceremony marked by aristro cratic simplicity, devoid of the stiff ness that usually accompanied such functions, and an air of sincerity and determination of purpose.
