the pago or our memory. Tonight
marks a particular event in the lives
of these young people who aro about
to rccelvo tho ovldcnco of whnt they
have douo In fitting themselves for
the duties of life. Education Is A
necessity In the human race, without
which It is not possible to fulfill tho90
obligations that will ailso In our poll
tlcal, social and domestic situations,
It will hardly bo admitted that tho
school room Is tho only place where
an education may be obtained, but It
Is looked upon as tho most nvallablo
means of fitting one for llfo's duties.
"All will realize that tho prepara
tion made and the expense Incurred by
the stato arise outof an apparent neces
sity for somo degreo or fitness to qunll
ry for a propor relation to thestflto life.
"Tho stnto lives nnd reeds upon tho
qualities or Its citizens, thcrororcgood
citizenship Is the object sought by the
state In all Its arrangements to provide
means within the reach or all pros
pective citizens. Scir-prescryntlon Is
as much a law of tho state ns It Is of
tho Individual man. Illiteracy Is dls
asterous to any commonwealth. The
combined torccs of mental and moral
training, entering into the warp of
civil government, glvo us n political
fabrlo that will stand tho strain of
time. Every homo in this city Is In
terested In this gathering hero tonight
nnd this class Immediately Interested
in these exercises feel that this is one
chapter In their llfo's history to bo
followed by others.
"Or tho future you may know but
llttlo. It Is a realm or discovery.
Hidden In Its mysterious regions aro
mines or wealth and pyramids of
honor, but thoy arc not for you except
you press after thorn. I do not mean
golden wealth but a noblo wealth of
charactor gained by a noblo nnd use
ful life. The world needs you If you
will bo n lawful servant. It hns room
for you If you glvo It tho energies of a
clear head and honest heart. I do not
know Mint It needs any othor. Tho
greatest destiny then Is a pressing
need for additional attainment. Op
portunities arc all around you If you
will solzo hold of them."
