As our fathers describe them, tlw old school was a threshing floor and the teacher who could swing the longest hickory under the lowest ceiling was said to excell in the car dinal virtues of pedagogy. When I entered school ;us a child o. 0 vears. iue piay grouna was Jittered over with switches of assorted sizes frazzled at the ends. So lickin no larnlu', was jUiiiversal as an educational axiom. jThen the school was paramount and (its order and discipline th." first con sideration. The child seemed to have been made for the school, and what ever his bent of miud or individual 'characteristics he was made to con form to tlv? rigid demands of the school by force if need be. Now the child is" the ce.iter around w hich the s: :o( l t.-iietn revolves. The school is for the chi'd. The child enn say in the language of Louis XIV. '1 am the state.' Instead of compelling the child to fit into an 'liiyielding mold, we now demand that the schools shall adapt themselves to the child's need's. The school Is a creation of wholesome and proper environment for the natural growth, evolution and development of a child. ! "Schools but manifest the general trend of human thought and action. j The attitude of parents toward their (hildr."ii is more kindly than a gener ation ago; not that parents love their c hildren more, but the outward mani festations of that love has (hanged from riiiid nuasure Into a policy of l.a.-on and humanity. (,ur people are booming more humane.

Ten years , ago there was no place of refuge nor : home, nor half way ground for refor j mation and correction of wayward ! girls established by the laws of tke state of Oregon.." Incidentally, Mr. Mulkey suggested that the schools in their endeavor to enrich th course of study had swuag to the opposite extreme; that while the methods and instruments of teacn i lug had advanced far beyond those of former times, the course of study had com io contain too much, and the young pupil finds his Interest so wide ly divided and scattered in a manner inconsistent with thoroughness, rap idity and accuracy in the fundamen tal branches of learning. He thought the next step would be a return sowe what In the direction of the three "R." HTe stated that as the thin 'edge ruts deepest, so concentration of tlu? child mind on the formal stud ies will lead to skill in their use, and these remain the instruments by ; which, and through which, he is to !add to is knowledge during is adult jlife. He thinks children of today lare called upon to purchase too I many books, that tlue books are too ! large and. cover too many subjetcs. ' He thought the tendency was to make universities out of the gram mar schools; that the general ten dency is to enforce too much techni cal knowledge of literature and the sciences upon the child at an age when he should be grounding him self in fundamental principles. He thought the time to put on the ve neering is after the foundation has been laid and the building edcted. Speaking to the class of their di plomas he said: "These documents will be very precious to you, for they represent twelve years of labor. No doubt .hey will aways be kept as precious monientoes and they should be preserved throughout life. They do not represent what you are, but are evidences of the opportunities you have enjoyed and what the state shall expect at your hands. Men do not put new wine into old bottles lest the fermenting liquid crowd the already expanded walls of the old vessel and rend it, and both the ves sel and its contents b? destroyed. I would apply this scriptural illustra tion to your present diploma nnd the limits it marks. You cannot afford to allow yourselves to act and react within the limits set by this docu ment for ever tomorrow you will have outgrown the diploma you are about to receive. I believe you will continue to grow until you have re ceived other and higher certificates of character and achievement." Following Mr. Mulkey's address. J. S. MacMurray sang "The Raft." Chairman Gllkey of the school hoard then presented the 29 parchments to their 29 happy recipients, making a short speech filled with tlmly thought and advice before calling the graduates Individually before him. With the Pinginj? of the class song, in which the graduates bid good-bye to the pleasant associations and strenu ous, though diligent, work of the courses of study, the audience was dismissed, though many remained to extend congratulations and best wishes to those who were Just taking I up the work of that more extended course In the great school of life and experience. The graduating class of the high school met in farewell reunion at the Oxford Hotel Friday evening after the graduating fxerciBes. For many of the class this was the final class function of their lives, and it was with the view of making the 'inst night the most memorable of their school life, that the sentors indulged In this exclusively seiiior "banquet. . iit: .i.c ui ur . o ui liic iiaDo aujuiii i.ttu ,to the lobby of the hotel soon after t lie 'nrenent at bill nf rtinlnmnR At about 10:45 places were found at i the splendid banquet table set by I.Mr. B.
