COMMENCEMENT DAY.
Immense Crowd Attended Exer
cises The Program.
One ot the largest audiences
ever seen at the armory on a
similar occasion was present at
the graduation exercises Wednes
day morning when the '07 class
received diplomas and concluded
four years of faithful and success
ful labor. The decorations in
the building weiefir boughs and
the large class of graduates oc
cupied a position on the platform,
together with the faculty and
other speakers. The chorus of
singers had to occupy front seats
in the audience.
' The opening number was a
selection, chorus from n.Trova
tore, by the college band, spleB
aidly rendered and much enjoy
ed. The invocation was by
Rev. C. T. Hurd of the United
Fvangelical church followed
by a vocal solo by John Claire
Monteitb, the Portland baritone,
who gracefully responded to a
stormy encore.
Miss Belle Bonney, the saluta-
torian then gave a brief but
pointed oration on "The Prime
Wisdom of Life." This prime
wisdom, the speaker said, con
sisted not so much in a know
ledge of things far remote from
view as in a thorough under
standing ot the immediate sur
roundings and the common
things of life. Not that women
should not be broad of intellect,
possessed of the best education
obtainable and familiar with the
arts and sciences, for these, too,
should be added; but first and of
prime importance is a knowledge
of the necessary things of every
day life cookery, sanitary con
ditions in and about the home,
proper ventilation, and lastly the
care of children. Miss Banney'
won the audience by a plain,
forceful and entertaining discus
sion of a pertinent question, clos
ing her oration with an attrac
tive word picture of the ideal
home where love, peace and hap
piness reigns and where the col
lege bred woman as well as her
less educated sister, finds the
truest and best position in the
world, and exercises "the prims
wisdom in life" by being a suc
cessful home maker and the
happy mother of a family. - This
oration was delivered with splen
did effect and Miss Bonney was
greeted with prolonged applause
as she concluded.
The next was a song "soldiers'
chorus" from Faust by a mixed
chorus which included many of
ihe leading vocalists of the city
Darwin Lxreene lhayer was
valedictorian of the '07 class.
I His subject was, "American
j Agricultural Education." As
might be inferred, the oration
I dwelt with the subject of the es-
! tablishment and advancement of
'the agricultural colleges throngh-
outthe land and the benefits to
be deriveu from having educated
farmers who understand the soil
and conditions generally and are
capable of dealing intelligently
with the subject of masing the
farm pay. "Americans are not
good farmers," declared Mr.
Thayer, "for they woik the soil
to death for immediate gain,
with no care as to its future
fertility and profit," which seems
indeed a pretty true statement,
according to present conditions
as witnessed year by year. Mr.
Thayer spoke clearly and with
aase, and made a very favorable
impression on his hearers, who
received his closing remarks with
a demonstration of keen appre
ciation. Miss Edna Sheehy, vocal in
structor at OAC, was heard to
advantage in a fine solo, "Reci
tative and Scena," from Der
Freischutz, Weber, and was
heartily encored, Hon. John M.
Gearin following with an address
to the class. In the beginning
Mr. Gearin assured the audience
that he felt unequal to the task
required of h:m, viz: that ot giv
ing advise to the graduates 01
the '07 class. . "The young,"
said the speaker, "are hard to
advise, and the old are oft-n so
much in need ot advice them
selves that they have none to
spare."
However, Mr. Gearin neither
lacked for words ncr good advice,
and the address proved one of the
best heard at an OAC commence
ment in years. Having a splen
did command of language, a
good voice and a pleasing person
ality, Mr. Gearin is a gentleman
well qualified to speak to a class
of college men and womeu and
leave vith them advice that will
never be forgotten, and calcu
lated to be of much benefit in
theii after life.
Prof. Gerald Taillandier next
gave an excellent piano Qio that
was warmlv received, after which
Hon. J. K. Weathertord presen:-
ed the diplomas to the class, John
Claire Montenh sang a closing
selection, the" degrees were con
ferred by President Gatch, and
the large audience was dismi sed
with the benediction.
Gave Her Surprise.
Remembering that it was her
birthday, a party of friends gath
ered at the home of Rev. and
Mrs. G. H. Feese Wednesday
evening and gave the hostess a
complete surprise.
While taken unawares, Mrs.
Feese proved herself equal to the
occasion and with earnest cor
diality welcomed her unexpected
guests and made them teel en
tirely at home. The hours pass
ed quickly and pleasantly with
social conversation, interspersed
with a song by A. P. Johnson, a
recitation by Mrs. C. E. Cum
min gs, several stories by Dr.
Cathey, remarks by Judge Wat-
ters and Mayor Lilly, and others.
The company brought icecream
and cake which were served late
in the evening. As a slight
token of the high esteem in which
Mrs. Feese is held by her friends,
she was on this occasion present
ed with a very pretty gold chate
laine pin, engraved with her ini
tial. Those present were: Rev. and
Mrs. Feese, Prof, and Mrs. Car
toll Cummings, Judge and Mrs.
Watters, Mayor and Mrs. Lilly,
Dr. and Mrs. Cathey, Mr. and
Mrs. Beach, Mr. and Mrs. Fos
ter, Mr. and Mrs. Al Stevenson,
Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Wellsher,
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Wells, Mr.

Our nastur-

and several of us have sweet peas
beginning to climb. We will
have to string them right away
it we wish any nice blossoms for
the fair. We have planted some
melons too. One little girl is
sure that she will get the prem
ium on muskmelons, and if pros
pects count for anything, , she
will make a fine showing. We
may do some sewing after school
closes. We haven't decided as
to that yet. We do not have
time for it now, for our gardens
take a great deal ot care. The
naughty old weeds seem to be
trying to win a premium too.

math: We have some fine spellers and
some pupils woo can win out
when it comes to a ciphering
match. We are trying to find
out who is the penman in our
room, so that we can send him to
compete for the prize , We are
also planning some needle work
along the line of hemstitching,
and button hole rraking. When
schooi is out, our girls are going
to can fruit and make some jelly.
Oh yes, we are going to win, for
we are nearly all under twelve
year limit, and we can do it
easily.
First Intermediate Room Re
presentative. Second Intermediate, Room Phil
omath :
We are glad to report a goodly
amount of interest and enthus
iasm in the work being done for
the fair this fall. Good reports
come from the boys and girls in
regard to their success in raising
flowers and garden products.
Fruit canning, jelly making and
butter making,, hemstitching,
plain s wing, spelling and writ
ing are proving interesting to the
girls, so far, while tne boys talk
of trying their hand at scoring
and of exhibiting wheat, oats,
apple and other exhibits. The
rooin as a whole are planning on
a small aispiay wnicn we qo no:
care to speak of here, . but which
we hope will speak for itsel:
when the time corals.
Representative Second Intermed

Grammar Department Philomath :
We are on the road to the fair,
too. We are not saying much,
but we do not mean to be left
behind the rest of the county.
One of our bovs has alfalfa three
feet high already. One of our
girls had trouble with her pump
kin seeds. She planted them
upside down and had to turn
them over afterwards to keep
them in the ground. Cabbage,
squash, potatoes, corn and toma
toes are well uder way, but would
do better it it would rain more
frequently. Some of our girls
are fine needleworkers and they
wul doubtless have some speci
mens of their skill on exhibition.
We have soau good cooks too.
and you need not be surprised if
that nrar is shipped over to
Philomath next week.

Mr. Denman:
I herewith send report for the
Wrenn school. . I will say that
when I left Wrenn district three
months ago the pupils were work
ing and planning quite eagerly
their work for the fair. They
have accepted garden seeds; hut
as I haven't been with them
much of late, I cannot give de
finite reports of what they will
do. I have : been informed that
they will have another short term
of school. Then their interest
will be awakened anew.

Funeral Monday.
The funeral of, the late . Mrs.
Mary Bryson, which occurred
frcm the home of E. R. Bryson
at 2 p. m. Monday, was very
largely attended, old friends,
neighbors and acquaintances
gathering to pay their respects
to the departed. The services
were conducted by Rev. J. R. N.
Bell, and suitable music was ren
dered by the choir. There was a
wealth ot beautiful flowers, silent
but eloquent tokens of the es
teem in which the dead was held, i
Mrs. Mary Bryson was rn girl
hood Mary St. Clair, daughter ot
Mr. and Mrs. Wayman St. Clair, ,
Oregon pioneers of the early
'40's. Her birthplace was Santa
Clara, California, 50 years and
3 months ago. Miss St. Clair
was married in 1875 to John R.
Bryson, who was for years a
prominent attorney and one of
the most highly respected citi
zens of this part of Oregon. He
died in 1897 while in the East
for medical treatment.
Mrs. Bryson was stricken with
paralysis just a month before her
death, and was unconscious
much of the time thereafter un
til death came.
The survivors are E. R. and
Roscoe Bryson, the former of
this city and the latter of Eu
gene, who have the sympathy of
the community in their sorrow.
Four Retained.
All but four books how in use
in the common schools of Oregon
have been changed by the late
Text-Book Commissiou and the
new text books will be substitut
ed at the beginning of the new
school year. The fourth and
fifth Cyr readers, the Thomas
elementery history and Reed
;peller are the books retained.
Civil government has been drop
ped entirely as a separate subject
and will hereafter be taught in
connection with history. The
mental arithmetic has also been
dropped and the mental exercises
will be given with the aid of
written arithmetic. In the place
of the two subjects dropped, an
important one has Deen added,
that of elementary agriculture.
This addition has been made in
response to a very general de
mind. The principal changes are the-
substitution of Wheeler's readers.
up to the third book for the Cvr
readers; the adoption of Smith's
arithmetics in the place ot Went
worth's; the adoption of Bueh
ler's grammars in the place of
Reed & Kellog's; the adoption
of the natural geographies in the
place of Fiy's, and Dobs' United
States history in the place of
Thomas' .advanced history.
The "vertical system" of
writing was thrown out 5f the
curriculum and the new text
book is a semi-slant system or
writing that will meet the ap
proval of tne people
much more than the
at Jarge
vertica style.
