socialist, conferring his author

its breath and cross its fingers
at that terrible moment.
British tories and liberals,
not. much worried, wonder how
. they can thwart MacDonald
and prevent his doing anything
out of the regular routine.
The labor premier threatens,
if tories and liberals obstruct,
to "go to the people," demand
a new election and, with a big

The commencement, the usual

The school officials and othors tak

of the class. Principal B. H.

K. 1L Kedrlck, although present,

The address by Dean U. G. Du

"It is ttitportant that ono have

"Whether or not one knows how
to spend a dollar wisely If he had
one, wilt have much to do with his

"Whether or not ono has a de

"A decent respect for each other

"Finally, experience has Hhown
