All was sunshine and happiness, so to speak, last evening at the Academy of Music, where the graduates of the normal and high schools of the seventh and eighth divisions of the public schools of the Dis- trict of Columbia received diplomas from the hand of Mr. John W. Ross, president of the board of District Commissioners. Al- though the classes sent forth were by no means as large as those of "05, owing to the elimination of the three-year course and substitution of the four- ar course, the attendance did not correspondingly de- crease, every seat in the theater having an occupent, while a large number were forced to stand. ‘The Marine Band Orchestra, under the ction of Prof. Fanciulli, was in attend- nd discoursed sweet’ music through- out the interesting exercises. The stage was set as a garden scene, with a profusion of palms, other potted ' plants and cut flowers artistically distributed, while the feotlights were entirely hidden from view by a bank of floral tributes from friends of the gradu Shortly after § o'clock, to the tones of the “High School March,” composed by Prof. H. F. Grant, director of music in the col- ored schools, the graduates filed upon the stage with rhythmic tread,the girls wearing gowns of white and carrying flowers, while the boys were attired in evening dress. They took seats arranged in rising rows behind chairs occupied by Commissioner Ross, Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, Mr. Jesse H. Wilson, Dr. Shadd. Mr. Cornish and Mrs. ‘Terrell of the board of school trustees, Rev. J. T. Jenifer, Superintendent Cook of the colored schools, Miss Lucy Moten, principal of the ‘Normal School, and Mr. F.'L. Cardozo, prin- cipal of the High School. The Exercines, Rev. Mr. Taylor asked divine blessing, and, after a selection by the orchestra, Mr. William E. Smoot of the business course Was introduced and delivered the saluta- tory, his subject being “Qualities Essential to Success in Busine: Mr. Smoot de- clared that, to be successful in business, a person must raining, must ‘b honest, industrious and have a will; be sy: tematic, accurate and persevering. “The Demand Upon Young America” ¥ the title of a carefully prepared and well- speken oration by Mr. Burrell W. Jeffer- son, representing the academic course of the High School. Miss Ottle M. Brooks of the Normal School was the valedictorian, and in well-rounded tones she discoursed ‘upon the forces that go to make up the perfect being. She also bade a farewell to classmates and faculty in an attractive manner, and her effort was undoubtedly one of the features of the even- ing. Awarding Diplomas.

Pleasant Commencement the Acndem ‘The commencemcnt exercises of the Acad- cmy of the Sacred Heart of Mary, which took place last evening at St. Dominic's Hall, were delightfully rendered andr flected the highest credit on the teachers of the pupils, as well as the pupils them- selves. ‘The very large hall was more than full— it was packed and jammed, not only on the flcor and in the galleries, but men sat in the windows ard boys on the steam pipes, which, however, had no steam in them. The program was opened with a “waltz,” cn mandolins, guitars, banjos and the Plano, which was rendered by the Misses Carey, Buhler, Altro, Gittings, Lewis, Arch- er, Herbert, McDevitt and Muntz, the same ladies playing at the e of the waltz a march. A march from “Il Trovatore” was performed on two pianos by the Misses Archer, Murphy, Webster and Hammer. The sajutatory was by Miss Josephine Al- tro. “The Harvest Moon” was sung by a semi-chorus, at the conclusion of which Miss Mary Carey performed a piano solo. A drama, ‘‘Toy Shop,” was the feature of the evening and gave immense pleasure to the audience, which did not hesitate to so express itself by giving vent to loud and frequent applause. The characters, with one exception, were taken by the minims, the little pupils of the academy, the excep- tion being one of the larger scholars, who acted the part of a maker of dolls. When the curtain rose, a number of children, representing dolls, and tastefully arranged, were seen. Presently the dollmaker retired and several fairies appeared, one of whom, by a wave of her wand, converted the so- called dolls into happy children, who danced, sang songs, jumped the rope and indulged in various sports that so many ercives at j children love. “An Episode in the Reign of Napoleon T,”” dramatized from the French, was pre- sented, and like the rest of the pro- gram, was splendidly rendered by the yeung ladies, whose names were published in yesterday's Star. A_ selection from Gounod’s “Faust was performed on two Pianos by the Misses Wimsatt, Carey, Mc- Devitt and Murphy. The diplomas, gold medals and premiums were conferred on the graduates and other pupils who had demonstrated to their teachers that they were worthy of such mention by Rev. Father Kent, pastor of St. Dominic's Church. Prizes were awarded to the following, whose names are additional to those pub- lished in The Star of yesterday: Bookkeep- ing, Misses Josie Altro, Agnes Gainey, Mary Kelly, L. Hammer, L. Murphy, Nora Dal: M. Tull and M. O'Donnell. Special me tion was also made of Miss Kelly for her perseverance and success in the dificult art of stenography. In the minim department to the Misses K. Irwin, K. Hurd, B. Shillinberger, G. Eck- stein, M. Heath, M. Meehan, M. Roby, K. Rockett, E. Ehrmantraut, M. Hammer, K. Harlston, B. Lauck, T.-Kulle, M. Kulle, M. Meehan, J. Whitmore, M. Whelan, R.

Harlston; elocution, Misses M. Carey, M. L. Wimsatt and C, Fitzgerald. An exhibit of work by the pupils of the academy is now op jexhibition in the study hall. The progress made during the year by the pupils ia\very perceptible, and many of the girls, notably the Misses An- rie Coughlan, Nora Daly and Mary Whe- lan, with Masters Jacob Deimer and Eu- gene Collins, deserve credit for their in- dustry and perseverance-as weil as the dis- play of work executed by them. EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL. Significant Remarks by Mr. Sites, the Prinetpal, Interesting class exercises were neld last evening by the graduates of the Eastern High School, and the audience in attend- ance taxe¢ the capacity of the spactous ex- hibition hall of the school building. After a selection by the Eastern High School Orchestra, Rev, W. E. Parson invoked di- vine blessing, and then the class president, Clifford V. Church, made an introductory address. The other numbers included a vocal solo by Mr. Emory Wilson, a class history by Miss Elsie E. Parkinson, a class poem by Miss Rosalle A. Robinette, a voval solo by Miss Bleanor Simonds, an addres by Rev. Granville S. Williams, an addre: to the undergraduates by Miss Alice Put- nam, a reply by M. Strother Miller, a vocal solo by Mr. Philip Gerry, a class prophecy by Miss Clara V. ‘Trow, a vocal solo by Miss Alice Judson, and a’ farewell from the faculty by Mr. C! M. Lacey Sites, the principal. In introducing Mr. S tes, President Church paid a glowing tribute to the latter, and the audience demonstrated that it concur- red in the sentiments expressed by unr rained applause. “In novels,” sald Mr. Sites, im opening his remarks, “it is cu tomary to include a hero, a heroine and a Villain. You have heard this evening from the heroes and heroines, and now, I su: pose, you are to hear from the villain He went on to say that it is an adage that « may come and classes may £0, but the faculty remains forever. ‘The speaker then significantly remarked that the class of next fall may be called upon to wel ne a new faculty at the Eastern High School. Mr. Sites, on behalf of the faculty, bade farewell to the class with unllmited well wishes. ‘The executive committee of the class in- cludes Clifford V. Church, president; Mis Blanche Stoutenburgh, vice president; Miss Ire Deis, vice president; Edgar P. Copeland, treasurer; Gilbert W. Kelly, sec- retary; Miss Julia E.

EX-TEACHER'S VIEWS ON SCHOOL RULES One Parent Defends the High School Committee. CONFLICTING IDEAS Commerts on the case of Prof. Sites, whose resignation as principal of the I ern High Schoel has been requested by the school board committee on normal and high schools, continue to reach The Star. Today several letters were received on the subject. Miss Brown wrote as follows: “To any one who is not an earn of our public schools the case of Mr. Sites must seem a promising theme for one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic operas. Here is a committee of school trustees who de- clare that they have no charges to prefer against the principal of a most successful school; that, on the contrary, he is a capa- ble instructor and a man of excellent char- acter, yet they are convinced that his use- fulness is at an end and that he must be removed at once. In short, it seems to be a clear case of: “I do not like you, Dr. Fell; Tae reason why I cannot tell— I do not like you Dr. Fell. “I have never exchanged a word with Mr. Sites, and have, therefore, no reason to protest against the treatment accorded him, except the love of fair play common te all goou Americans; but this very rea- son is strong enoygh to compel me to say, for myself and the many who have spoken to me on the subject, that we earnestly school board to see things in a different light and retreat gracefully from the posi- tion they have waken. “I believe I have demonstrated sufficient- ly in the past that our schools ure very dear to me end that I would not hesitate to attack, and would certainly not uphold, ety one through whom they could be in- jured. 1 have followed with joving and ciose attention the course of pupils through their entire school life at the Eastern, anc living near ft, have had exceptional facil ities for learning the ins and outs of its routine. The consequence of my attention point with satisfaction to the scholars some of its pupils have won, eminence others occupy on the graduatir lists of the Normal School and to the steady upward course others are pursuing in their chosen walks of life. “Of course, in so large a amount of friction cannot be avoided while the present tem of forcing children ahead, without regard to fitness, is follow ed. Any one who has thoughifully re the course of study laid out for the etades must needs be impressed with the vastness of the territory to be covered each ) The aim seems to be to make artists jentists out of the smail people, instead of ing them first and foremost the ne ry foundation for a solid education: uence is that, unless a child school a certain ef exceptionally brainy an intellectual atmosphere, it is unable to master the course.

She may be perfectly conscientious and see the total unfitness of a child for the higher work and yet be forced to yield, for here again the parents come to the fore and do not rest until it is included in the transfer, ‘Then the trouble begins in earnest. AM the lost links in the chain are daily and hourly needed: the child is discouraged the teachers are in despair; there ar ‘flunks’ without number, followed by tears, ond finally the walk to ‘the office,’ with all that that walk implies. Then come again the parents, and the principal has to face them and their protests and arguments— an ungtacious task,-surely, and one not celculated to endear him to them. “Then, to add to the unpleasantness of the principal’s position, the fiat went forth, for some inscrutable reason, that there ts no High School except the one on O street northwest; that the three institu- tions, the Eastern, the Western and the Business, are only ‘branch Now, if the late lamented Mr. Paul were alive and at the head of the O street branch, there might be, at least, a sentimental reason for the distinction, since he may be called the father of our High School system; but un- der present conditions I cannot see a valid reason why the Eastern shoud be a mere appendage to the Central, espe since the former is no babe in arms, as it were, but a sturdy young giant, full of latent pewer, who has proved himself, time and t of his elder brotn- again, the peer at | er on O street. There is, in the opinion of stern s no more reason for making the principal of one high school the superior of the rest than there is for making the teacher of any siven gratnmar school the head of all the others. The superintendent should be the and the principals of the four high schools each head of his own school. As things now are, there is the rivalry natural to the state of affairs, with supreme power to make or mar in the hands of one of the in- terested parties: which ideal condition, to say the least, “But to return to the case of r. Sites. If the precedent should once be established that a teacher who does not yield his judg- ment and sense of right to the demands of unreasonable people forfeits his position, then good-bye to our school: they would sink to so low a level that only a moral earthquake could bring them to the surface again.” A Parent's View. Mr. Barnabas Bryan of Anacostia writes thus: “I am sorry to learn through your columns of the proposed removal of Mr. Sites as principal of the Eastern ‘High Senool. For five years I have been per- sonally interested in that school as one of its patrons. My daughter is in this year's graduating class, and one of my sons was an officer in this year’s prize company. I have watched the school closely for five years, and have known Mr. Sites person- ally, and have been, and am, fully satisfied with his management. Under his leader- ship the school has taken front rank, its one or two companies of cadets, in compe- titlon with from four to six companies in the other schpols, have won the prize flag three times in six years. Its pupils have taken front rank in the Normal School, and, in competition with the pupils of the other schools, have won scholarships in the Woman’s College, Baltimore, the Co- lumbian University and the Georgetown Medical College. Certainly this is a record to be proud of. “I infer, from what I have heard and read, that he is to be removed because of friction with some of the pupils and their parents. I was a teacher for a short while myself, and have known a number of teachers both in Maryland and the District, and I have never known a teacher who tried to do his or her duty who did not have trouble with some of the pupils or their parents. I should be afraid that a teacher was not doing his full duty if there were no such friction. My sympathies are with the teacher nearly every time; and when I placed my children in the schools I gave them very distinctly to understand that If they had trouble with their teachers and were punished they need expect no sympathy at home; and that if they falled to keep up with their studies and brought home poor reports, I would take them from school and put them to hard work in my business. The result is that they get good reports and stand high with their teachers in every grade; and I recommend my plan to those fault-finding parents who are scek- ing the ruin of Mr. Sites. “Many of the children who enter the schools have not becn taught obedience at home, and their only object seems to be to have fun, to torment the teacher, and to get along with as little work as possible. Then, when they get into troubie through their own laziness or wrong doing, seek to throw the blame on the teacher, charging unfairness or partiality. Most’ of such children drop out of school before the eighth grade is passed, but unfortunately for the high school and its teachers a few of that class are found in the ranks of its pupils, wasting their own time and hinder- ing the progress of those who are willing to work. The intelligence of my children is not below the average, and yet they have had to burn the ‘midnight oil’ to keep up with the ‘work assigned them by their texchers in the Eastern High School, while I have heard of other pupils taking time from their studies for parties and ail sorts ef fun and frolic, and I do not wonder that they receive low marks and are pun- ished. I do not see how it could be othe wise. I believe that a fair investigation would show that “in every case of friction the parent or pupil was at fault. I believe Mr. Sites has only done his duty with firm- P: ness and impartiality.
