Education means the development and ppreparaMon of men and women for the duties of life. If a man is intelligent he can and will see what things are needed to aid prosperity. Cotton has long been king in the South, but the past few years intelli ply was greater than the demand, so they turned their attention to truck farming and stock raising.

The ig norant farmer does not see the rela tion of supply to demand, and so will remain in the rut of poverty, as he will keep on planting cotton until, he dies. Education makes a man patriotic. For example, when an intelligent American citizen reads the history of our country, and thinks of the lives lost for freedom's cause, a feeling of pride weljs up within his bosom, and he begins to form plans how to build up and protect his country. An educated man wants more than the ignorant. The latter is content to know nothing, do nothing, have noth ing and be nothing, but the Intelligent man is restless when idle, and longs to own, to know, and to do some thing.

To such men as these we owe the telegraph, the steam engine, the ray and all other inventions. The race of mart will be preserved through education, because as we be gin to know the laws of health, we be. come more careful of our bodies. All around us are human beings wasting away with disease all because some body violated nature's laws. Educa tion will teach us how important it is to pass sanitary laws.

Industrial education brings prosper ity to the laboring classes. They soon learn that when you brains in or dinary vocations of life, reward is sure to follow." Moral education has to do with the training of the hearts. If the hearts of men right, there wouldfbe no need of jail, penitentiaries, gallows and law courts. Every crime commit. ted caja be tripped back to some viola tion of the moral laws spy somebody.

In such a country as ours, where we can enjoy a free 'education, there is no excuse1' for ignorance. Prosperity is near at hand to all, irrespective of race or color, who will try to develop the powers of mind, body and heart OPENING ADDRESS By Alice Xangle. Ladles and Gentlemen: It Is my most" agreeable duty to welcome you to the exercises of this hour It is not only, a duty which 1 cheerfully per. form, but I consider it a rare, honor and high privilege ty stand before such an audience As is gathered here tonight.

Cater cd Ei baking powder Royal Grape Crccia 1 1 cl Tenor roundlngS. On all sidea we have the evidence confirmed that the mental, moral and physical development of the young of our city was considered carefully when such a fine building was erected for our use. We have reasons to rejoice for our educational advantages, even though we pursue our studies In the evening hours, under seeming difficulties. The temptations to spend our evenings in pleasure rather than in the pursu ance of knowledge are very many, but having chosen as our motto "We strive to conquer," it would present a very bad appearance, indeed, had we hot been able to resist the temptations that confronted us.

We have labored dill gently throughout the winter, so that we would be the better prepared to bring about this glad hour as well as to fit ourselves for our different vo cations. Our advantages have been above the average, and I would that we had all made good use of our op portunlties. The exercises this evening will be memorable ones to the pupils of our school, and as we proceed with our program we trust that you as our guests will feel repaid for coming here. As the chosen representative of the Central Evenilg Grammar school, I again extend ourcommon salutation: Welcome." CLOSINGADDRESS By Caroline Zlpf. To the friends gathered here, to the teachers who been our guides, and to all former students and class mates, it is my privilege to give a last greeting.

The occasion is both sad and glad. It were easy to fall into a melancholy manner, but why should these few closing words be all of sad ness? Wo would rather of the brighter side. I think it was Robert Stevenson who said: This world; is full of interesting things, We all ought to be as happy as kings." Since tonight we take our formal leave Central Evening Grammar School, it is but natural that the du ties which once burs, fall into the nanus oi oineys. ipey strive I to conquer" the duties set before them, and we trust those whose lot will be to: follow us. may have more laurels added to their names than we had, We regret most keenly we have left so many opportunities pass by un heeded.

May you improve them better. The recollections of the happy evenings that we have spent together will ever brighten our pathway as we pass into the future There are those, before us tonight who hold special claims upon our grat itude. We extend our thanks to the teachers and to the gentlement of the board, of education for the care and interest they taken in the welfare of those who have come thither, and as we bid you adieu, believe that we will ever cherish in our hearts the thought that to a great extent it is to. you we owe the privileges we have enjoyed, Pupils of former classes are seated about us. We wonder, "Did they stand as we and bid farewell to classmates and fxiends?" Will we stand as they and think back over the years to this spring evening when we said farewell and left each other? We appreciate your presence among, us tonight and for the pleasant features vou hve Mi I A MY 1 1 1 1 i i i 111 1111 added to our program have in spired us with a greater love for our school and it is our wish that in fu ture years we may enjoy the same ptoMttrea with you again.

And now, fellow students, we as members of one school will soon separate. I can wish nothing higher or happier for us, than that our days be full of goodness and To you all, in the name of the school, I bid farewell. RECITATIONS "WHEN MARIA JANE IS MAYOR." By Begin Foley. When Maria Jane's elected to the may oralty chair, There'll' be many wrongs corrected that are now apparent there. The sidewalks will be carpeted, the streets swept thrice a day, The allays will be as fragrant as fields of new mown hay.

What with parties and receptions, and occasionally a ball, There will be a transformation around the City Hall. And each ward in the city will be rep resented then By lovely alderwomen and not horrid aldermen. When Maria Jane lis mayor, none but ladles will pt course, Be appointed members of the city po lice force. And in their bloomer uniforms they'll look, so very sweet, Uhe gang t0 bma will consider it a treat, The stores will be compelled to have a bargain sale each day. And for chewing gum and soda, you will not be asked to pay.

Oh, great reforms will be projected, all the wrongs will be corrected, When Maria Jane's elected to the may. oralty chair. "THE PRAYER OP BROWN" "The proper way for "a man to pray," Said Deacon Lemuel Keyes, "And the only proper attitude Is down upon his knees." "No, I should say the way to pray," Said Reverend Doctor Wise, "It standing straight with outstretched arms And rapt and upturned eyes." "Oh, no; no, no," said Elder Slow, "Such a posture is too proud; A man should pray with eyes fast closed, And head contritely bowed." "It seems to me his hands should be Austerely clasped In front, With both thumbs pointing toward the ground," Said Reverend Doctor Brown, "Las' year I fell In Hodkln's well Head first," said Cyrus Brown, "With both my heels a stickin' up, My head a pintln' down; "An' 1 made a prayer right then an' there Best prayer I ever said, The prayingeet prayer I ever prayed, A standin' on my head."

Memorials nre always evidences of the highest civilization. "The ancient Egyptians, who taught the world astronomy and the arts, emblamed their dead and buried their bodies in lofty pyramids or in tombs hewn out of the solid rock. The English nation has honored its Wellington. Its kings and queens sleep under fretted roofs and Oothic arches. In our own land there are monuments that tell of the gratitude of a great nation to those who have preserved it from its foes.

Besides there are hundreds of beautiful tributes to those who have made life's pathway less rugged for others, sweetly to Memory. What a gap in the English language of "Gray's "Elegy in the Country Churchyard" should be left out of it. And there is Cowper. What' is his tribute to memory? It comes in the most patheitc poem In the English language. As a box of six he had seen the loved form of his mother carried away forever aha at fity six a rela tive presents him with a likeness of that mother, which calls out these lines: that those lips had language! Life has passed With me but roughly since, I heard thee last.

Those lips are thine thine own sweet smile I see, The same that oft in childhood so laced me." The memory goes out to all who have the touch of bereavement. There are some human lives that never yield their sweetest song until touched by affliction. Then it is that oft times Memory becomes of practical good. Halls of learning are erected her honor. Institutions to dry 'the orphans' tears are established and moneys endowed for the maintenance the same.

And what is memory's message to us? Shall we not make Charity, Justice and Brotherly Love beautiful in practice as well as in song and story. We have no right to add to the world's discord, or to sing any but sweet songs in the ears of others. We should start no note of sadness in this world, which is already so full of sadness. Our aim ought to be to add to the world's happiness. If we do, and succed, then "We shall live in hearts we leave behind, and that is not to die." PERSONALS.
