One may travel far and w ide and
not see a more beautiful city than
Independence, at this time of the
.jear especially. For the size of it
ther? are mure roses and hedge fences
in Indedendence than in any other
city in Oregon. The lawns of Inde
pendence are beautiful to behold.
Since there are so many beautiful ones
here why not fall into the spirit of
the great republican national con
vention and "make it unanimous."
Plant roses.
You will live longer for having
enjoyed them; for they fill in a place
where discontent may have lodged.
They, like humor, to the social rela
tions, resemble a rift in the cloud
through which drifts the sunshine of
happiness. They dispel dissatisfac
tion and annoyance, about the heart
they spread a lorication of charity.

Audience.
liene.liotion Hev. Hr. Wilson.
Tho day win- pleai-ant mul the
audience was large. The mimical
nunitier were rendered by well
know favorite, Mr. Habhitt, Mi
Howden and Mr. Doughty, and that
thev were artistically rendered
!.. MiviiiL. Their numbers
Tl IUIV' ,' - - - C?
were well selected and well received
bv the audience.
The Xormal Uirl' Olee t'lu"b did
good work which showed careful
training and president jiracuie.
The class sermon is always fmo,
but this one by Dr. Wilson was a
masterpiece, which compelled the at
tention of the great audience from
the beginning even to the last word
His text was from Matthew, "Search
ve the Scriptures for in them ye
,.fe anJ Uu,
tbey whieh testify of me." The
uernioh was a eulogy nnd defense of
the Bible and the education of the
spiritual side of man, and application
wan made in an appeal to the class
to give the education of the moral
nature a prominent place in their
work and not be parties to place a
brilliant mind over a barren heart
"An electric light over a grave yard."
Dr. Wilson's words were well chosen,
his periods well rounded and forceful,
his climaxe brilliant and effective,
and he left an impression on his
hearers that many years will attack
in vain.
On June 22d the final assembly of,
the year was held in the chapel, and
was attended by all the students,
their relatives, a large number of Al
umni and friends of the school gener
ally. Each class marched in with its
banner and was seated. Then came
the Alumni by their years, each bear
ing appropriate emblems. When all
were seated, the classes arose, one
.lass at a time, and gave their yells
and sang their songs. Mr. Buckham
led the assembly in prayer, and fres.
Kessler led in the favorite songs as in
dicated from the apdience.
It as an enthusiastic assemblage
and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
One innovation was the appearance
with a banner of the next year's freh-
lowing the Impel, wa the ptvidelit'
br.-.ikfat t i lht (irdu tmc U.

report that it wa an vhthor.Ua and

gmhl thing in heard of in connection
theiewith. I'rident Ki-hr i mi

, . . . ,
ill tin' eiening the h li t joinm!
in an ciiteitAiiiiitR hteiMiy program,
which wa liMened to by a Urge and
eiitliuniaxtic audience. Thera wa a
htlle farce, very anuiMiig " well
acted, and sihiIik and hiumc, in the
iiMK'inhly hall. Then cvenlHHly went
down to the jtrove to enjoy tha or
chestral concert given by the Und.
The grove wa brilliantly lightml with
iHiiiii'mu inert ndeeent, strung I
twirn tha tree, Seated along the
edge of the sidewalks, or strolling
through the grove, tha crowd listened
to the stirring music of the hand, and
went homo saying that the whole
art'air had U'cn a success.
The twenty-sixth annual commence
mailt exercises were held o:i Tuesday,
the illd, at 10 oYloek a. m. Tho class
was composed of thirty-nine graduate
hailing from all part of the state, (as
may Ik) seen by the list U low.)
Thera were many visitors from a
distance, and the people of Monmouth
always attend commencement en
masse, so the hall was crowded.
The music by the normal orchestra
was well rendered, under the eHU ient
direction of Herr Robert lUirn Pow
ell. Mrs. May Howdcn-Habbitt played
in her best style "Tarantella", by Min
kowski, and was accorded a generous
encore, but gracefully refused it. The
Normal Male Club and Normal tiirls'
Glee Club made happy hits in the
songs they sang, and Uith responded
to prolonged applause. Taken all to
gether it is doubtful if any other com
mencement in Oregon has lcn
favored with so good music.
There were five orations by members
of the class by David B. Campbell, of
Monmouth; Delta Dillard, of Burns;
Alma Stone, of Uresham; Ethel Gross
of Oakland and Roma G. Stafford of
Oregon City. One needed but to he ir
these orations to know the dominant
idea in the school. They spoke of
teachers, teachers' societies, children,
schools, the duties of teachers, the
responsibilities and objects of teach
ers. And it was all interesting and
well said, us wa evidenced by the
rapt attention of the hearers, who
could look upon the speakers and the
class for whom they BjHike as emi
nently fitted to receive their children
in trust for the future nation. There
haa been no more pleasant and profit
able commencement here or elsewhere.
The class address was delivered by
Pres. W. J. Kerr of 0. A. C. His ad
dress was in keeping with the .ora
tions, full of wisdom, and highly
pleasing to the audience, because he
advocated placing trained teachers in
all public schools, or, at least, in as
many as possible. He expressed his
friendliness to the old normal, also,
and closed by an appeal to the class to
consider the greatness of their calling,
and strive to elevate it to even a
higher plane. The people of the nor
mal have formed a good opinion of
Pres. Kerr and are glad to have him
visit them and talk to them.
The Associate Alumni held their
business meeting in the afternoon
while the others were engaging in
athletic contests or observing -them.
At 8:15 p. m. came the annual re
union of the Alumni, and the recep
tion of the new class. The alumni
marched in and took seats on the
platform, followed by the new class
which was introduced by President
Ressler in a happy way. Mr. Horace
C. Lake, '92, welcomed them for the
association, and II. A. Goode,
president of the class, responded.
II. H. Belt '03, and W. M. Smith '99,
delivered addresses and the Men's
Glee Club sang some stirring songs.
Good humor, good fellowship, and
good work characterized the whole
evening.
At the close of the program the
Alumni and their friends adjourned
to the gymnasium where a few hours
were spent in eating a fine banquet
and cheerful conversation punctuated
by bright speeches to toasts.
So the twenty-sixth annual com
mencement passed into history leav
ing a good taste in everybody's mouth.
Card of Thank.
We wish to thank the many friends
pf Independence who assisted in the
funeral services of our daughter, for
their kindness And eympathy and for
.the many .beautiful offerings of roses.'
