The High School Commence ment Exercises Chester H. Rowell on the Educational System of the Day, Stands for the Advanced Schools. There were no vacant seats in the opera house last night when the cur tain went up and disclosed the High school graduates and classes seated on the stage. The five graduates were well to the front and in the back ground was the student body of the school, with the officials and faculty on either side. Principal Childress in a few words introduced the class of ‘oo to the audience and the introduction was the signal for a hearty burst of applause. ‘Annie Laurie’’ was sung by the High school, and the Mandolin club rendered a composition by Prof. Taylor that was well received. The address of the evening was de livered by Chester H. Rowell of the Fresno Republican. For forty min utes the speaker handled the topic ‘‘What are we here for?’’ and he threw some new light on the subject of edu cation. He held that even though but a limited number of students avail themselves of High school privileges, and a still smaller number take advantage of the opportunities offered by the university, the money raised by equal taxation and expended on the few is still well expended. It is the educated few who could, if transplanted to another planet, re produce the high civilization that has been reached at the end of this cen tury, and what has been evolved in the succession of generations could be reestablished in a short space of time by the cultivated men and women, the highest and best product of our educational system. Incidentially Mr. Rowell gave a slap to the demagogic fad that would place education wholly on a cash basis at the expense of the training of the mind that comes with advanced education that has produced the thinkers of past generations. He de plored the attitude of the press in Cal ifornia which he claimed is largely against the state’s providing for any but a common school course. Mr. Rowell concluded after addressing some well chosen words to the gradu ating class. Another chorus by the High school was followed by the presentation of diplomas by Leo. G. Pauly president of the county board of education. Mr. Pauly prefaced the presentation with some appropriate remarks, and as the young people were given the valuable rolls that told of their successful course as students, there was repeated applause. Then opportunity was given for the presentation of flowers, and so lavish were the friends of the graduates that the five were so laden with roses and carnations as to preclude their rising to join in the final chorus of the even ing. The class is to be tendered a recep tion at the Woman’s club building this evening by the High school Alumni. The members of the class are:Blanch C. Weill, Henry Simpson, Pearl O. Brown, Rose Prince and Emma B. Barker.
