COUNSEL I'oft GRADUATES.
i "One reason why this is a better world than it used to
he.is because tho graduates of schools and college are lein
spared ponderous counsel from commencement orators. This
iis the time of year when boys and girls jump into tin
world with a feeling that they aie plunging into a den
of horrors, into a realm 'where solemnity displaces smiles
and responsibility gives no time for relaxation,
i Naturally life is a icsinsible existence and tho wise
Commencement counsellor doe;; not ignore this fact, but
;lhere is a more engaging picture to present to the graduate.
;As Edward S. Martin, Inilliant editor of "Life," once told
tlp3 graduates of an Eastern college:
j "So far as we can judge fiom w.iat we can see of this
.world, it was not meant to be more than moderately sol
emn. Its decorations, many of Ihcni, are gay. The flowers
are joyous. The birds are cheerful. No, young graduates,
lo not cultivate solemnity as a virtue. You will get enough
,f it as an incident of living."
That's an appropriate kind of message to bring a ;i ini
tiate who has been fed up with the terrors that await him
5n tho world, lie will inert thip.-.e terrors much more be
comingly if he throws off a sour dough heart and meets
Hhem with head up and eyes gleaming.
Hreaking the ties of school association, trying to de
termine a vocation, weaiieil pet haps by the stress of ex
aminations, the average giaduale deserves something bel
ter when he is given his diploma than an overdose of
verbal insulin. The woild is waiting to be eoii(Ucrcd by the
boys and girls coining out, of the schools. That is the grad
uate's job. And the job will be much better done if
i.ssuyed with a high : piul of radiant joy and cheer than
with a spirit soggy with fin red dignity and exaggerated
solemnity.
