The general assembly room, on the second floor of tho cast wing was filled Wednesday afternoon with High School pupils and their friends to assist In. ded ication of the new building. At 3, o'clock, Supt. Simmons called- the.' assemblage to order aud the high school cbtf? of sixteen young ladies aud gentlemen sang tho Columbian hymn, after which Rev. Matte son offered prayer. A male quartete, con sisting .or Messrs Reynolds, Uoyt, Jacobs ami Sullivan sang vt i creditably "AbiJe with me."

Prof. E. T. Austin made a few extremely appropriate remaiks. His satisfaction was complete, as lie contemplated the structure in which the school is now located and was made so by the fact that slatting with' 125 pupils three years ego, the high school had increased to 1C0, to 180 and now to 21U The old school building, like the clothes of the growing boy, rapidly became to small, and as the elbons poked out, so bad tho children betn obliged almost to hang out of the windows. If the advancement could bo as had been that of the buildings In beauty and usefulness ho would bo pleased. Ue had attempted to guido the pupils luto the light plan of study aud lino of work, mak ing a careful, general course for those who seemed to need It. - alias Mabel Ferry, reudercd-a- fwSfolo in a pleasing manner, Miss Dun accompa nying her. President Killpatrick spoke of the duties of the board of education, explaining what they had desired to do and what they would do iu the future with the consent of the citizens, aud the money voted. The Central building would soon be as they had wished, except some work around the grounds. The cantankerous taxpayers aud other class es were obstacles to be overcome in the mak ing of an ideal school system. He closed by saying that the selection of board mem bers had not been controlled by politics, which bad added greatly to too elliciency of the corps of teactiers, they not being select ed by their "pulls."1 Rey. W. B. Malleson was called upou, re sponding with a few words ot thanksgiving for the beneUls of education and the pros pects for school work in this city. The Jawbone ot an ass. had formerly been a weapon in war, but as that had given way to the wouderlulimplements used today, so had the progress been iu education. Prof. Monroe, superintendent of the St. Johns schools paid a high compliment to Owosso, that In all its advancing years it had not become concieted in its school work, but had kept pace with the material growth. He had three emotions when in the city surprise, at the wonderful growth; aduilnlration for the way prosperity had beeu taken, and regret that when he first came here 20 years ago with 50 rents In his pocket, he did not buy tho town and hold it until the boom came. The teachers wero earnest now with earnest pupils, Owosso would be a glourious example. Working hand in hand with the country schools, Shiawasho county was a noted center. Superintendent of Puolic Instruction PatttugilJ made the finest address along the line of educational topics that.has been de livered in Owosso. lie talked for nearly an hour aud held the ciotcs-t attention from scholars and v.sitors. In his 80,000 miles travel in a year he had found two most prosperous towns, Owosso aud Traverse City lie congratulated the people on their homes, tueir streets, their factories and the mag nificent educational Interest. Where tho material growth and prosperity was greatest there the education and school system were the best. Many poopie do not believe in a high school but the simplest proof of Its efficiency was from th statistics furnished by Saginaw educators. Pupils who spent four j ears iu tho high school, four years In oollege and four years In work had SJiOo intra apiece than the pupils who left off with tho grammar room aud had wotked twelve years; and the'educated person had that which makes lifo worth lining, and Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. n ,1 J&3&& ABSOUUtfELY PURE would as the years weut by become not only better off finauclally. but their minds would continue to Improve. The high school, the poor man's college whereby every pupil Is on a common level, where the work, tho brain, the eood nature and tho ni' ; 1 hood made no distinction of condition as to financial or social standing of families. The education of the head and hand go together and the trill who can not wash the dishes on tho morning before or after she graduates is not educated. The boy who can hot work in the trenches, on the farm or in the mill if be is a graduate is the result of poor teaching. Namby-pamoy men and women too proud to do honest work aro not a necessity and mo not the re sult of a properly conducted school. Tho educated person does other work from the ordinary or common labor because flu is fit ted to do it and can earn nioro money by so doing, yet he is not too good to do any kind of work. Tho power to do comas from tho power to think and if a course in Latin helps a person let that person study it; if mathematics helps, let that be the study; if bookkeeping helps, let them take it; if they all combine as they certainly do, let the high school course be taken up. There must bo training to in ike intelli gent beings, moral bemtr, and healthy be ings. The age of preparation to 21, the generation of power to 55 and tho genera tion of rest. Mr. Pattengill made many other good points which we would like to touch upon but space foroiis. The Woman's Era. I r HvfCSlMr '4 f 5 lit v r! !'rW;' it Within Her Sphere She Reigns Supreme. Woman claims her own. Her field widens constantly. Every day brightens her prospects. Her progress fore shadows the greater triumph at hand. Emancipation and equality will be hers in the years to come. Prophetic of final victory were her achievements at the World's Fair. At her shrine there erected the nations bowed. The lesson taught at the "Woman's Building" will last "till time shall be no more." Their enlightening influence will be felt around the globe throughout the dawning century. Only less memorable were the honors gained at the Fair by Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder The highest award conferred on this peerless prepara tion, is a fitting accompaniment of the laurels won by tho women of America. 1 rR n o PwSr Miss Ivah Peterson rendered a fine piano selection, after which Prof, Simmons made a few remarks and the school was dismissed. Prof. Simmons was ready to give thanks as the hamnipr and saw were departing from the elegant school building and the work could now go on with all in perfect arrange ment. He was sorry th.it tho number of boys on tho streets was so largo. During his five years as superintendent the Wash ington and Emerson schools had been built, additions been made to the Bryant and Cen tral schools and tho force of teachers increased from 21 to 81, and now in invita tion could be extended to all thu county to join in making a glorious system lie re joiced that ao graduates were now in Michi gan colleges aud making a showing of which tho city should be proud Tho republican state central committee expended SIU.077.4S for campaign expanses.
