f3p Their Labors Are Over. Six Graduates of the New Ulm High School Beceive Their Diplomas. Assistant Supt. Hyde Addresses the Pu pils and Presents the Coveted Parchment. Union Hall was filled to its utmost last Thursday evening on the occasion of the commencement exercises of the New Ulm High School. The graduates were sis in number and each delivered an essay upon his or her own favorite topic. Miss Vehkanje selected "The Kindei gaiten" as the sub]ect of her address. She said in part To youth life may seem one scene oi gayety, a moving picture of enjoyment and pleasure. It is more than this. Life is opportunity. Life is a mission. Religion, science and philosphy, though still at variance upon many points, all agiee that every existence is an aim. The aini of eveiy reasoning human being is to airive at a stature of perfect mannood. To realize this we must lay a firm foundation in the child. The kindergarten is the true and only foundation for a general system of edu cation. The kindergarten is a system of edu cation based upon play, foi play is the only natui al means by which a child ex presses and also develops himself. Its gifts and occupations furnish every kind of technical activity. "We learn only through doing." That is the basis of the Kindergarten. It aims to make the mind creative, to stimulate ideas. The child will be taught to reason and then he will reason when he is a man. It reveals to him the wonderful beauties of color, form and sound and enable hida to con tiol them within the ever-increasing limits of his intellectual powers, thus making him an artist, as well as a dis discoverer an-i inventoi, a poet, as well as a worker and thinker. Some writer hassaid that the best secu rity for civilization is the home, and that upon its perpetuity rests the future of the world. Certain it is, that without home-life humanity would be lost to all the bler conditions of existence. How necessary then that the home-life be what it should be. It must woik with the Kmdergaiten, have the same plans and principles. Unity, love and peace must leign here, 01 the influence of the patient kindergartnei will b«» limited. Good habits and pure thoughts must be 01 med \a the child. Good character can only \je built on such a foundation. Angry words, ciuel deeds, stories and scenes of sin and stiife must be kept from him, in order that no such thoughts 01 feel ings may arise Thus it is seen that the object of the Kindergarten is to develope harmonious ly the moial and intellectual faculties and the physical forces of children. Its ultimate aim is to build a charac tei higher than intellect upon a firm foundation of physical vigor and strength. If the obiect of the education in the Kindergarten is then so important, if the effects of it are so enduring, is it not worth all the thought and labor it can e/er occasion? Frank Webber discussed "Crete and the East After touching upon the giandeur of Grecian history, he cited vanous interesting facts in connection with Cietan life and history and then entered into a leview of the troubles that finally led to the lecent war. Com menting on the outcome, he spoke as fol lows The Powers have paid the Gieek for hi« supreme insolence in daring to stand for legitimate national aspirations in de fiance of the cold-blooded veto of Eu rope. He has been severely beaten in spite of gallantry, worthy of his ances tors at Marathon and Thermopylae, and there seems to be no military possibility of the immediate reversal of the verdict of war. Peace now by the mediation of Europe means absolute surrender of Greek affairs into the hands of a Euro pean protectorate Should the Hellenes their lage dethrone the piesent dy nasty and declare a republic, it would be a stroke of justice which would cut toyears," the bone. The upusmg of an Hellenic democracy from the ashes of monarchy would send a thrill of alarm through eastern continental Europe from the Baltic to the Mediterranean. But aside 1 from this possible outcrop from the E*4# Greek defeat, one is forced to believe that the success of the Turks has placed W the whole eastern question in a much msM themselves more insoluble rondition. IpThe Powers have tangled into an embarassing snarl. -, In dispens ing with all morality and all logic, they have put themselves in &, position from which there is no escape that does not iuvolve humiliating admissions. If they have avoided a war among "themselves, Turkish victory, will torn* bequeathed p*s- them a situation which will require, per haps, anotbei war to fope with.J^ The world will then laugh in disdain at the cold and short-sighted diplomacy with which it tieated the Greek question and ranged itself on the side of Mussulman barbarism as against Euiopean Christia nity. John Quense talked on the progress of electrical inventions dunng the piesent century aad preluded his essaywith the statement that as long as history shall be recorded the nineteenth century will be considered the greatest epoch of dis coveries and inventions. "When we con' sider," he said, "the progress which has been made since the opening of the pres ent century and compare the inventions of this peiiod with those of all preced ing time we must conclude that never before was such an impulse given to scientific work." Here the writer pro ceeded to enumerate some of the great achievements oi man along this line— the progress from stage coach to loco motives and elegantly equipped trains from steam as a motive power to the general use of electricity, the telegiaph, cable and telephone, so that now "we are able to communicate with the remo test corners of the world in less time that was necessary for our forefathers to correspond between Boston and Phila delphia," electiic light, electricity as a motive power for ocean steamers, the application of the water-power of Niag la and the consequent saving of millions of doljars. "In shoit," said the speakei, "if our ancestors of a generation ago could today take a glimpse of our prin cipal cities they would certainly be MII pnsed at the progress which has been made since their days, and could we a hundred years hence observe the progress which shall have been made dunng that period, we would in all probability be equally amazed. But it is possible, that as long as the world exists this progress will continue, and as the hand-cradle was superceded by the steam-thresher, the sailing vessel by Pulton's steam-boat, the mounted herald by the instantaneous electric message, the tallow-dip by the brilliant electric-light, so will these in ventions in the course of time be super ceded by others of which we have no conception. Miss Minnie Silverson's essay was en titled the "History of Music." She re viewed carefully the character and growth of music from the time of the ancient Greeks until the present day and endeavored to show the influence thdt it had upon the people among whom it had attained its highest devel opment. She concluded as follows "In the miadle of the 18th century the power of Germany began to assert itself, and dunng the rest of that cen tury and the beginning of this were pro duced some of the grandest operas the world has ever heard, peifect in every detail. "The period of developemeut seems to have reached a climax with the immor tals who connected the 18t^ and the 19th centuries. The perfection of Phideas has not been equalled in any subsequent attainment of sculpture. The master pieces(of Michael Angelo and Titian are at once the envy and despair of all imi tators in the domain of painting. No human intellect has ever reached the heights so easily surmounted by Shakes peare and Goethe. Nor is it likely that in the resources of music there yet re mains any unexplored field capable of the great achievments which are already a pait of theHistory of Music." Miss Silverson was also valedictorian of the class and in addressing her class mates she said "Be not content with what you have gained, but, when you have reachtd the goal for which you have striven, place another further away and higher up and begin to toil and la bor for that. Remember, with Marcus Aurelius, that man's life lies all within the present, as 'twere but a hair's breadth of time, as for the rest, the past is gone, the future yet unseen." To Darwin Schuetz was assigned the task of reviewing the history of the class and depicting the wonderful possibili ties that the future had in store tor thepalace various members thereof. He entered upon the task in an admirable manner. "A class that has existed for twelve long he said, "must have become very firmly united, and when it disbands and its members separate to enter their dif ferent paths in life's rough journey,never again to share their joys and sorrows, as they were wont, the parting cannot but be deeply felt by all." Here the youug graduate launched into a recital Of many of the pleasant and exciting incidents of school life, from the early floggings to the days when sounds proceeding from the lower rooms told them that some troublesome youth was^traversing the same rough pathway that they had fol lowed years before then he allowed hk imagination to draw humorous pic tures ofchis classmates as the successful men and wwp»~jtf. ptejmwe* All dealers handle it There" Are Many Reasons Why the 1 "Look not mournfully into the past, it cones not again.

Mr. Albert Blair, writing in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat about President Lincoln, remarks especially upon his nnaffeotedness, and in so doing relates a story whioh may prove an encour agement to readers who hare sometimes found themselves ignorant where they had supposed themselves well informed. In February, 1865, Mr. Blair was present at a White House reception, a general reception, open to everybody. Mr. Lincoln was attended by Judge D_ vid Davis, who took the names of all comers and introduced them to the president. Of course there was a crowd, and no body had time for more than a word and a handshake. Mr. Blair was pre sented to the president, and then step ped aside to watoIHhe show. Mr. Ian coin and Judge Davis carried on a con versation, constantly interrupted though it was. "Now," says Mr. Blair, "it was 'How do yon do, colonel?' or 'My brave boy' (this to a young soldier) or 'I am glad to see yon,' or some other phrase of cordial recognition." There was no official starch, but what especially impressed Mr. Blair was a re mark made by Mr. Lincoln in a perfect ly matter of faot, unaffected tone, loud enough to be heard by many of the by standers. "Judge," said he, "I never knew un til the other day bow to spell the word 'maintenance.'" Here a hand*inter rupted him. "I always thought it was m-a-i-n, main, t-a-i-n, tain, a-n-o-e, anoe, maintainance, bnt I find it is m-a-i-n, main, t-e, to, n-a-n-c-e, nance, maintenance." W Bride. Are Hungry. How would an English bride care to fast on her wedding day until after the sacred ceremony, and this after endur ing the hardships of a farewell party given the day before? Yet this is what a Russian girl is supposedtoda As the marriage, to be fashionable, should not occur until evening, it may easily be imagined in what an exhausted state she is to commence her new period of Besides bridesmaids there are brides men, these latter being obliged to pre sent the bridesmaids with sweetmeats. A personage follows the procession bear ing an elegantly mounted picture ot Christ in gold and silver, which is sta tioned against the altar. The brides maids do not all dress alike, and their number is unlimited.—London An swers. *V" &S''*~5fsi,*-ErC? Vanity That Gome. High.
