Mr. Patterson, who con ducted tho services a tho Chris tian church yesterday In tho ab sence of Rev. Mr. Wigmore, of fered the prayer, and Rev. J T. Moore, pastor of the Methodist church, introduced the speaker with appropriate remarks. "The high school course Is a test of character," said Dr. Ford. "The fact that you have persevered for four years indi cates that you have the poWer to concentrate. Too many do not know the value of an educa tion and drop out of school. "You graduates, however, have completed the second great epoch in your education al course. You have completed the grammar grades, and you have completed the high school. Now you face the University, or the training of practical busi ness life; "Thus far you have come un der the care of competent guides and have encompassed studies the purpose of which you did not understand. Their place in your life will be made clearer later. Now you go out to face the in spection of yourself, your God, and the people. Upon the full ness with which you measure up to high standards in these in spections will be your success in life. "What you believe has the true influence on you life. Four things I would have you believe: Believe in God;' believe in your own self, believe in hard worfe; believe in a life of service. "Believe in God. as a kind father, omnipotent ruler of the universe. Great men of this na tion have not ben afraid to own their God, and to look to Him for strength. ' 'Believe strongly IrT- yourself I do not mean, be egotistical, but don't apologize for your exist ence. There is plenty to do and you have as much time as any one for doing your share. It is a good plan, now and then, to take ourselves by the collar, and take stock; be self -critics and disci pline yourselves. "Believe in good solid hard work. Nothing valuable comes easy. The road to learning is an arduous climb. The only luck I know anything about is pluck.. Be .ready for the emer gency. Garfield made himself the man of the hour by dispers ing recruiting riots in New York. Don't run after happiness; the only true happiness Is in work well done. "Believe in a life of service. The man who doesn't serve is not worthy. Be ready to help others if you would make your life large." The commencement exercises proper will be held at the high school building Friday night at 8 o'clock, when Earl Kilpatrick, formerly superintendent of the Springfield schools, and now connected with the extension department of the University of Oregon, will deliver the address to the graduates.
