ACADEMY PROGRAM YESTER
DAY POPULAR
Bishop O'Reilly Principal Speaker to
Students
The closing exercises of Sacred
"Heart Academy were held yesterday
afternoon' in (Academy Hall before a
large crowd of parents and friends.
A program of vocal and instrumental
'music of a high order of excellence
interspersed with recitations,' drills
and tableaus was presented by the
children and elicited heatty applause.
The Gregg Banners awarded to the"
school for advanced work in commer
cial branches were prominently dis
played. Only four of these have been
awarded m tho State of Oregon, the
Oregon Agricultural College, Sacred
Heart Academy, and schools in As
toria and Medford being the recipi
ents. The address to the graduates was
made by Right Reverend Charles J.
O'Reilly, D. D., Bishop of Baker. In
the course of his remarks the Bishop
brought out the fact that Catholic
schools are neither established to de
velc(p any creed nor to antagonize
secular . schools, and that secular
schools are indispensable to the state
in the training of a vast number of
hnon-Catholic citizens.
"I believe," said Bishop O'Reilly,
"there should be a unity in education
as there is a unity of truth. And I
believe that to be the true education
which preserves this unity and has
for its purpose the imparting of truth,
both of tho natural and supernatural
order.
"Herein lies the philosophy of Cath
olic education a .philosophy so simple
that one would think it quite unneces
sary either to offer an explanation or
defence of it. For the one who' be
lieves in the existence of God in His
providence in the love and Interest
He 'bears towards His children in this
world, the propriety of training those
children to know and love and serve
Him must appeal as an esseintial fac
tor in their training and development.
"But again, as wo believe, to do
our part in this world, to fulfill our
obligation in society and as citizens,
there is needed knowledge of things
secular science exact and speculative,
the truth and laws of nature, the facts
and f ieures which by their acquisition
fit the individual for the performance
of his various duties. Hence the ne
cessity of the best training in these
things.-
"This is the time of Catholic schools,
to train the child in his duties to God
and to fit him fop tho performance of
his obligations of tho highest citizen
ship. "Such a program cannot justly be
referred to as narrow and sectarian
as hostile to secular schools or to the
spirit of the codntry or to the de
mands of an exalted patriotism. The
very opposite is the truth. A religi
ous school is not established to bloa
ter up a creed, for that creed must
stand upon firmer foundations.
"It is not established either to an
tagonize secular schools. These lat
ter have their province. And consid
ering the many who belong to no re
ligion, and, too considering the multi
plicity of creeds, they are the best so
lution the state can offer for the
training of the diverse groups of citi
zens. . ' ,
"And it should not be forgotten
that Catholics pay their taxes for the
support of the public schools, ' and
recognizing the American principle of
no "taxation: without representation"
justly lay claim to a voice! and consid
eration in all that makes for the ad
vancement of the State schools.
"The religious schools, instead of
being opposed to the demands of pat
riotism are, in fact, the promoters of
that patriotism which springs from
and is established in divine sanction
and benediction.
"Every page of history bears evi
dence that they serve their country
best who love and serve God most
who refuse to .admit a divided allegi
ance who remember the Gospel in
junction that we should be subject to
the .powers that be, since all power
comes from God.
"To you, graduates of Sacred Heart
Academy, I would say, be practical in
your religious duties, be pronounced

TAKE ONE HOME TO DAY
Nothing gives me so much pleasure as to see a dairyman and his wife driving home
with a U. S. Cream Separator in the wagon. It's plumb sure to cement
our friendship, and add to my future business.
The last "U. S." that left the store actually sold itself on its sanitary points alone.
You see the wife was along, and she knew what it meant to keep one of those
old disc type separators sweet and clean.
JUST FOLLOW ME
"Just follow me," I told these good folks, "and I'll take you through the United
States Separator just like you were going through the U. S. Capitol."
We started in with the cast iron bowl chamber, which in most separators is a
rough, uncleanable catch basin for grease and slopped milk as unsanitary
as can be. But in the U. S. Separator, there is a removable, non-rusting,
sanitary lining for the iron bowl chamber, which absolutely prevents any
spilled milk from coming in contact with the cast iron.
But the mechanically washed skimming device itself is what made the big hit
with the dairyman and his wife. , In most skimmers steel is used, and rust gets
busy right away on the "thousand-and-one" different parts. In U. S.
1 Skimmers, nothing can rust; they are made of costly Nickel-Silver, abso
. lutely non-rusting. ,
The frame of a United States Separator is open at the base, for easy cleaning.
There are no exposed gears, pockets, or ledges to collect dust, grease, and
milk. You can clean over it, around it, and under it.
And here is another important sanitary argument that appeals to all practical
dairy people. The bowl of the U. S. Cream Separator has openings at the
bottom which keep it perfectly drained. Nothing stands in this bowl after v
running. No slop over self and floor as with bowls that must be hand-
emptied.
SEEING IS BELIEVING
I wish every dairyman in the country would take the time to look over a U. S'.
while I act as "guide." Take an afternoon off, and drive in with your wife.
Better bring the open wagon, for you will probably want to take one home.
C. S. NORMS, President of Union County Co-Opp. Ass'n.
in your patriotism, honor God, serve
your country, be juBt, be fair in your
dealings with all.
"And all those duties, while spring
ing from Christian teaching and ex
alted patriotism, will find their inspi
ration and their highest commenda
tion, in that religious training where
in youy.seo the God of nations guard
ing and guiding the world's desti
nies. "I am glad to see that in America
there is that broad and tolerant spirit
that willingness to understamd one
another that desire to be mutually
helpful, which means so much for our
Catholic schools and people and would
urge us all the Tuore to work united
ly unto the dissipation of whatever
prejudice or misunderstandings may
still exist. . -
"Young lady graduates, I .wish you
every success in the years to come,
and I would say to you in conclusion;
Go into the world "with hearts throb
bing with noble impulses, and inspired
by the exalted ambitions for God and
country which have been fostered in
this splendid institution. And when
the years of your youth have slipped
away and the battle of life has left
its scars on you, yor will come back
some day, and renewing the associ
ations of former years with these
wans, recalling' tne memory or tne
lessons you received in virtue and sci
ence, fervently, honestly, and with
your whole heart in your words, you
win say in deepest gratitude uod
bless you, Sacred Heart Academy
May God's blessings rest upon the
work you are doing in this community,
and the noble and cultured women
whose lives are consecrated to that
work. May your future greatness ful
ly realize the golden promises of your
youth. And when the future historian
shall compile the annals of the growth
of this progressive section of the fair
State of Oregoln, and shall record the
various moral and intellectual forces
which are shadowed in the horoscope
of yeaTs, high upon the pages of its
splendor may there appear the name
of Sacred Heart Academy, one of the
stiongest factors for true education
of mind and heart in Eastern Oregon."
