i } - 9 FINIS CORONAT OPUS. Commencement Exercites of HmI High School. { Brilliant Entertsin- ment by the Graduat- Literary ing Clase, ractical Hssays and Sensible Discussion of Woman Sufirage. Names of Those Who Carried off the Scholaetic Honors, Sound Words of Adrice fror dent Long, of the Board of Education That great event of the school yuar of the ellego or public achool, com mencement day, was celebrated by the high school in this membera of the oity at Boyd's opera house last night. Notwithssanding the extreme heat of the weather there was a largb atten- danos, both the parquet and family circle being filled. There were no decorations with the exception of an arch of evergreens above tho atage bearing the motto of the class, “No Step Backward,” and the figures 82, The exercises of thoe opened shortly after eight o'clock with an overture by the Musical Union orchestra which wasa magnificent pre- lude to a very interesting and credit- able exhibition, The stage occupied by Prof. C. D. Hine, the principal of the hich school and by “he eight gradua It was a handsome sight but there was an entire absonce of FLORAL DECORATIONS, these delicate emblems being stored away in a private box to the left of the stage, wherethey wercawaiting the proper time to be delivered to their owners and before the exercises wers over covered the stage like new mown hay when the harvest is over. The first feature on the programme was the reading cf the class history by Miss Mary A. Fitch, It would be impossible to reproduce it in full but we gathered from it that the class started intho fall of 1878 with 21 girls and 18 boys, During the year a number of these dropped vut one by one, as the fair historian eaid, some were those whose duties were not com- patable with their powers and others whose powers were not comparable with their duties. She alluded one dark eyed by who was now the PRESIDENT OF A BANK, At the close of the year the class numbered 14. During the next year others dropped out, and in September, 1880, the class started in with but five of the original 39 still remaining to enjoy the triumphs of success in their studies. The September of 1881 added four, one a gladly wel- comed representative of the east, and the other three old members whom they had considered lost. Since its advent the class has shrunk until but seven of the girls and one boy, are left, the latter to represeni alone the sturdy youth of Omaha. ‘The histo- rian expressed herself as glad that they had reached this point in their progress toward the summit of success which might lead to the presidential chair or some other position of impor- tance in the field now opening up to women., They would at least adhere to their motto and take “NO STEP BACKWARD,"” After the delightful performance by Musical Union orchestra, of an arraugercent from ‘‘the Mascotie,” which was enthusiastically received by the audience, Miss Clara C. H. Roe- der read a very well written and complete essay upon the subject, ““Music.” The next on the list of graduates was Miss Maggie Read, who presented a well written essay upon WOMEN'S WORK, ““Is it necessary for the educational interests of the country that the right of suffrage be extended to women{" Miss Reed said that this was among the (uestious having both a social and political bearing, which are now agita- ting the minds of the men, and that there is none which strikes deeper to the very roof of the social life than that touching the relation of women to the state. It has become an open question to be tried as freely as any other in this age of doubt and analy- sig, and is to many a source of appre- hension. Anadventurous party among us weary of the old ways, is now ea- gerly proclaiming new theories on the important subject of woman's politi- cal relations, **The ucipation of woman,” they proclaim as their ob- ject. They demand for her absolute social and POLITICAL EQUALITY with man. They base their demands on the abuses inflicted on women by legislation, the want of protection for her interests when they are confided to man, and the educational and so- cial advantages to both sexes that will follow her political freedom. The speaker roferred to Abigail Adams, who, in 1774, petitioned her husband to shape the laws of the country so a8 to enable women to protect their own interests, but said the movement was not thoroughly developed until the early portion of this century. Many earnest, noble women, with others who have brought only REPROACH UPON THE CAUSE, have worked faithfully in behalf of the right of suflrage. Among these were mentioned Louise M. Alcott, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Julia Ward Howe, who were not merely secking notoriety, Many able and educated men have advocated the cause and the movement demands respectful con sideration, Miss Reed then proceeded evenivg edecation and declared that next to the duty of self preservation there is uo higher obligation than that of na tional education, which rightfully con- ducted would make ninety-five per cent wseful wembers of society. How shall sach educaiion be secured! y assuming that it can be attained to consider the importance of uur:yp:ml\l‘-!ul. anawer this grave question by saying, “Give the ballot to THE NATURAL EDUCATORS, women, and the problem will be solve T'o her, from the eatliest time has been entruated the educa tional supervision of the rage from the first, thercfore the wmost " important stages.

Miss McCague was the youngest look- ing member of the class and all in all hor essay was one of the most accept- able features of the evening, EWHTER MISS HARRIE road an essay on ““Ancient and;Mod- orn Ideas of a Practical [ ducation,” and Miss Susie Phelps gave a_recita- tion *“T'om" in a sprightly and pleas- Sharp, danghter of Mr. P. H Sharp of this city, read an es- say on HOME LIVE, Man is constituted individual in his moral character and respousibilities, and soctal in those relations which furnish the conditions of moral devel- opment. In the great plan of human creation the Maker established onc social institution primary, indisper sable and compachensive. Primary in point of time and importance, in- dispensable in that an intelligent uni- verse could not exist or extend to its present boundaries without it. = From this sovrce or fountain head, the family, have in reality sprung all other social institutions, This the speaker illustrated by reviewing fam- ily life, and especially the social posi- tion of women in France, Germany, England and the Orient. Miss Sharp then went on to say: A woman's noblest station is retreat; Her fairest virtues fly from public sight; Domestic worth, that shuns too strong a Tight, ‘Woman'’s proper sphere is home. There she reigns supreme, the queen of a little band of loving subjects Under hor wise and gentle sway the better nature of all 18 brought out, and what is best in each is cultivated. Her chief duty is to make herself LOVELY AND BELOVED, Placed in the home she makes it at- tractive by every feminine art; but her greatest work is the careful train- ing of a littlo child, All that is sweet- est und best in her is brought forth in her efforts tomake him noble and good, All truly great men trace their nobility to a mother. Lincoln, who was very rough in his external ap- pearunce, was, at heart, gentle and tender. The boauty of his character is traced to the influence of his deli- cate, loving and Christian mother, at home. Napoleon says, “The future destiny of the child is in the hands of the mother, The social position of woman_depends upon the enlighton- ment of the mnation in which she is placed. As a people advances in civ- ilization the position of woman in go- cioty is recognized and MER CHARACTER AND INFLUENCE over others are better understood, T'rue respect to woman goes hand in with civilization, When she 18 once placed in her proper position, the ne- cessity of her being fitted for 1t is seen and a higher education follows, A thorongh intellectual education has not been deemed important until within a comparatively short time. It is now admitted that she should re- ceive instruction sufficient to enablo her to keep pace with man and exert an intellectunl, as well as moral in- fluence, and her moral character de- pends somewhat upon her education, tor the decisions of conscience are based upon real or imaginsry knowl edge. The mother 18 an educator of the intellect as well as the moral, The children coming from her hands IC RULE THE NATION bring with them her own thoughts as their's, Hence home influence moulds the character of the nation, In this country each member of the family is taught that he has individual rights which caunot bo justly inter- fered with; that he has, as he ad- vances in years a part to perform in the government, and his training at home fits him for his afterlife, He is taught by intelligently submitting to his superiors to be controlled by his own better judgment, and those who ! have been pui in rightful authority over him, From OUR IDEAL HOME goes forth the well trained child, the well trained child becomes the good citizen; the good citizen maintains good laws; good laws insure a good government, All social institutions receive inspiration aud energy from wanhood, ~ Al that is devoted and tender in home all that is noble and heroic in friend- ship, all the courtesy and grace of refined socioty; all the respect and chivalry due to” woman, all the self- denial and generosity which make lifo have their root in the ome, and in its soil are best culti- vated, Miss Sharp and Miss Read, it will be seen presented the two sides of the women's suffrage question and as both the young ladies are launching forth into the world, in which the adoption of the proposed constitutional amend- wnly through the schools of the state, | Milton Rogers, ¥ tors, their fature in the politioal world | under a new suffeage, may bo supposed | to be indicated in their ut erances on | this occasion Miss I rs, daughter of | y of this city, was the next essayest. Misa Rogers 18 conceded by her classmates to be THE ABLEST ESSAVEST clocutionist in their number her | and best and she certainly did credit to own powers, to her instractor and t herclass. She is o looking young lady, with lated voice, graceful 1 elegant cetly modu d self posses d. Her theme, ‘‘American Self Reliance, as illustrated by the life of James A, Garfleld,” was well calen lated to win the attention of the audi ce, and she received her meed o praise in the shape of floral tribute and warm plaudi.s, YPURLIC SPIRIT IN THE CHOLAE was the subject of the oration deliv- ered by the only male member of the class, Mr. De Witt C. Huntingt . 21, has a good voice and a fine presence, and his oration was written and excellently delive while it was a little more practical th the majority of orations by graduates. Mr. Huntington was heartily ap pleuded . At the conclusion of the programme the president of the board of educa tion, Hon. E. K. Long, advanced upon the stage and deliverd the much- prized “sheep skin” to the graduates, calling each by name. He also well announced tho award of the prize for | 8 the best work in botany to Donald Allan; excollen n Latin, Alice C. Harmon; best collection of insccts, Will G. Doane, He then addressed young fledglings of nest as follows PRESIDENT LONG'S AUDRESS, Tt has become my pleasant official duty ont these diplomas: these you have succeasfully passed the ordeal of our school require- ments, and now stand ready to take a forward step upon the stage of duty either to assume the active responsi- lities of u busy life, or perchance to invade the high realms or literature and science, through the medium of the university or college. ongratulate you, upon having reached this goal of youthful ambi- tion; your presence here is evidence of work well done, of faithful and suc cessful study. There is sincere regret the fortunate this educational too, mingled with our congratulions because your footsteps and faces will be missed in the school which has known youso long, and where you have won the respect and atfection of those with whom you have been as- sociated. It 18 our hope and expecta- tion that you will not hereafter regret the hours passed within yonder wall. The sim and plan of ‘carly study contemplates enduring riches—the wealth of the immortal mind—its quickening to ascend the gradations of knowledge; its ennobling by a con- stantly enlarcing circumferenco of thought; its stronzthening by subject- ing the ever new ovents ot the physi- cal world; the reliof of the mind amid sorrows, trials and disappointments by that solace, and exhilaration which next after the Christian religion, let- ters can best best-w. This early training of the mind will lead you to correct modes of thought and judgment—to usofulness and honor. And it may, indeed it must guide you to uprightness and faithful- ness to duty. We need men and women educated it is true; but, at the some time, imbued with moral strength, who have a clear Yes, and a ringing No, As you stand upon the threshold of new experiences, and actions, I would advise that you fix your minds steadi- ly upon somo good object in life. Choosesomethingand stand by it. You will bo certain of a reasonable success if you aro governed by tenacity of pur- pose, and the amount of sacrifice you are called upon to make, will be the gauge of your heroism. Those who hold to their purpose, perhaps against discouraging impediments, have the temper which governs men, subdues the world of matter and mind, and leaves its mark for good. And espec- ially would I urge upon this class, composed as it is 50 largely of young adies, The object in Jife, noed not beits business. Business is but a means of attainivg the object. You must bo the educators, in ~ the near future, you may in our commonwealth share with men, the duties as well as the burdens of citizenship, Much more then, than ever before 1t be- comes a sacred duty, that you pursue carefully, honestly” and firmly some noble ~womanly object, tending towards the elevation and improved condition of all those with whom in your new sphere, you may come in contact, ROLL OF HONOR, From Superintendent Lane we ob- tain the following namos of pupils who have attended two hundred duys and have not been tardy: CENTRAL SCHOOL, Rosa Aust, Amelia Bloom, Annio Withe Luura Kumpf, Axel Ekstrom, Amanda Karbach, (ieo, Gsh, Nettie Oleson, August.
