TO OUR GRADUATES.
Graduated! Yes, nearly every
hamlet, village, and town at this
commencement season of the insti
tutions of learning, welcome home
those who have spent years in
hard study and with honors have
graduated; and many hopes and
expectations are centered in you—
hopes that society will be elevated,
many immorals corrected, wrongs
righted and places of importance
better filled. Do you ask, where
is your place! The world is before
you, and though it may seem
crowded, there are still many
wants that it does not advertise, to
avoid a rush of applicants, but
these wants exist, and are, indeed,
very real, and your compensation
wilt be as ample as you have brains
pluck and energy to earn it. The
world wants graduates who are
men enough to search out these
places and make room for them
selves ; it wants young women of
sufficient self reliance to bear the
disappointment of not securing the
first position for which they apply;
most of all, it wants eahracter, and
it very wisely declines to accept a
college or school diploma as con
clusive evidence of that. There
fore we silently whisper, enter in
to your life work with right mo
tives, earnestness, zeal, and hon
esty of purpose, and thoroughness
that will satisfy yourself; then
others will be satisfied. Realize,
' the responsibilities which have
| come to you, and assume them in
i great humbleness, and bear in
I mind, by your fruits ye shall be
known.
The out come of our schools this
year has made a splendid showing,
and the out look glows with pros
pects of unusual brightness. Now
what is wanted is a following up.
To some,vacation means a relaxation
from all effort in the line of school
work, but it will never do to let the
enthusiasm die and expect to res
urrect it three or tour weeks before
the time arrives to dust out and air
the room for occupancy again. Let
the faculty in charge and managers
keep the ball a rolling, the matter
constantly before the people, and
create such a sentiment among the
people they will have no other idea
than that the school of our town
is just calculated to meet their
wants, and in the meantime plan to
make them such. Study well what
will meet the demands of a large
majority, and make the schools ac
cordingly to meet them. Keep the
matter before the people constantly,
continually, all the time, and we
cm have a school of double the
present number, but bear in mind
it will never be done by spasmodic
effort. Only keep up the interest
you have now.
This is the season of the year
when the “Sweet Girl Graduate”
flouris hes. Now the lily white arm
of the graduate fair flourish o’er
her golden hair, carving the flower
fragrant air in ribbons o f love
and light as she begins: Down
the untrodden path-way of life we
can see the invisible foot-prints ef
an unseen land. We build the lad
der on the sea of life whose rung
less rounds we mount ‘From the
lowly earth to the vaulted skies,’
as Cowper says in his Thanatopsis.
Beyond the Alps lies Italy; over
the fence is out. ‘Ho pon, ho pe
ver,’ is the watch word of the
voiceless spirit whose wings gleam
in the shoreless waters of life’s
tempestuous sea.”
