THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE RECEIVE DIPLOMAS bree Hundred and Seventy-Seven Young Men and Women Are Graduated at Auditorium. HONORS FOR SOUTH STUDENTS That perennial miracle, that picture of beauty, that feast of joy for par- Wents provided by the sight of their "learned children in caps and gowns ¥ #being presented with diplomas by N : L 1 “ostentation, august board. *And (because this kind of d. and o. mighty attractive and inspiring to us \ The 377 graduates of the ‘¥*High schoof, .and High School of Commerce, all | wearing gray _marched in single file up the two aisles of the Auditorium while a fymarch wa; glaycd by / way company, sustained severe "dignified educators while other wis- dom-laden ones look on approvingly was provided Friday. . The Auditorium’ was filled with ad- miring parents, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts to see the first com- bined commencement exercises of the three high schools ot Greater Omaha. The Board of Education had solemnly met some time ago and solemnly decreed, adjudged and or- dered that this commencement should be entirely free from ostentation and display " A Grand Event. But how can such an affair be free kfrom ostentation when there are no less than 215 sweet girl graduates, be- ides 162 boys! How can it be free om di: ) lay when fifty youthful of- ers march across the stage in full ress uvaiform with white belts, loves, trousers and with shining 8words, to receive their commissions! It can’t be done without display and it shouldn’t be done without d. and o. is older folks. Central South Side High school and caps gowns, Miss Pearl Minick and Miss Gracs Trowbridge. Applause was continuous from the audience, as parents and friends rec- ognized those in whom they were par- ticularly interested. The graduates ' occupied seats immediately in front of the platform. Officials All Present. The principals of the three high schools, with Superintendent of Schools E U. Graff, several members of the school board and the speaker of the evening, John D. Shoop, super- intendent of . the Chicago public schools, occupied seats on the plat- form, the front of which was banked with palms, ferns and flowers. Superintendent Graff presided. Rev. Titus Lowe pronounced the invoca- tion and then the fifty splendid young officers in full dress uniforms marched upon the platform and re- ceived their commissions, Arthur C. Wakeley of the Board of Education making the presentations. . Dr. Shoop'’s address was on “Edu- cation and Life.” He recommended tenacity of purpose, individuality, self-control and courage as' virtues which will enable the individual : to give the greatest service to humanity “Education,” he said, “is "not the lifting of bundles of unrelated facts by ponderous pedagogical machinery. It is growth, evolution and the intelli- gent assimilation of the truths of nature. World Demands Action. “The world will not ask you how much you know, bat what practical good you can do with what you know. The world demands action, efficient and purposeful. It is necessary for you to create, not merely to imitate. And it is the amount of your better self that you put into your life which will make its value. “The province of education is to make us leap over sectionalism and provincialism, to shake hands with him who worships at the shrine of a foreign faith and to be Americans ever. ’ “Be courageous. I have supreme ontempt for two kinds of men. One is the man who can’t stand success; the other is the man who can’t stand failure. Build like that man in Kan- sas who built a fence. It was six feet wide and four feet high. When a visitor called his attention to this he said he built it so that when a cyclone struck it and turned it over it would be higher than before. Such a spirit couldn’t fail. It turns adversity into success.” Honors Distributed. Three honor students were - an- nounced from the forty-five graduates of the South Side High school. They are Louis Wirth, first honors, with an average of 93 plus in all his studies for the four years. He receives a scholarship in the University of Chi- cago. Second honors went to Merle E. Curti with an average of 92 plus. Third honors were won by Flora Wirth wit'y an average of 92. The diplomas were presented by C. J. Ernst, president of the Board of Education. The young graduates marched slowly across the front of the stage. This ceremony occupied nearly an hour. ungarian Pastor On Visit in Omaha Rev. Ladislaus Gerenday, formerly of Budapest, now in charge of the Hungarian Reformed church of New Brunswick, N. J., is being introduced to local countrymen by Eugene J.

If it | does not see fit to pass a constitu- tional amendment war will follow. Up to Congress Chiefs. “Some of the democratic leaders de- clare they see a declaration for na- tional suffrage in the plank they have given it. I do not so interpret it. But we shall give congressicnal lead- ers every chance to read that inter- pretation into it if they want to. I re- gard the democratic plank weaker than the republican. “The preamble of the latter at least is regarded by some as giving na- tional endorsement to suffrage. “Thus far we have not worked out details of our plans for fighting the democratic ‘party this fall, for we have hopes that the congressional leaders will see the light. But if they con- tinue to qrpose us we will fight them. And it will be a good fight, too. We have 4,000,000 women voters, $500,000 in cash, a good cause and a deter- mined spirit. With all of these we cannot help but win.” Catt Issues Statement. Immediately after the adjournment of the convention Mrs, Carrie Chap- man Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage associa- tion, called a special meeting of her national board and later issued the following statement: Demos Who Object To Wilson's Slate Are Squelched St. Louis, June 17—A resolution presented at a meeting of the demo- cratic national committee tonight pro- vided that the committee name its own chairman and secretary from its own membership and that the demo- cratic presidential nominee be em- powered to select a campaign com- mittee and name its officers, created a sensation among the committeemen gathered to affect their organization. The resolution was defeated by a vote of 46 to 3, after a debate that lasted until after midnights During the debate on the resolution the action of President ‘Wilson in sug- gesting the names of the officers of the new committee was freely dis- cussed, and National Committeeman E. H. Moore of Ohio, who presented the resolution, declared that the presi- dent should not have the power to impose his will upon the committee and that “)d do not want to put it in the .power of any man to create a presidential dynasty.” After the reso- lution was defeated the following of- ficers of the new committee were elected: Vance McCor iick of Pennsylvania, chair- man; Homer Cummins of Conneeticut, vice chairman; Representative Carter Glass of Virginia, secretary; W. W. Marsh of Iowa, treasuret ; John L Martin, Missourl, sergeant. at-arms, Adjourns to Go To the Carnival The Central Labor union, after transacting routine business last night adjourned to attend the carnival now being held under the auspices of the Greater Omaha labor movement, and under the particular direction of the Central Labor union. The principal event of the evening’s meeting was the report of the striking machinists that progress toward a favorable settlement of the strike is under way, with the finis in sight. Grant Hamilton, representative of the American Federation of Labor, ! of Washington, D. C, was a visitor at the meeting. Wilson Plans Fight In Earnest for His Job Washington, June 17.—Plans for the vigorous democratic campaign that will be directed from the White House will begin to take definite shape after President Wilson has con- ferred with Vance McCormick, the new chairman of the national com- mittee, and other party leaders, prob- ably next week. The president, it was said tonight, probably would re- ceive formal notification of his re- nomination at Shadow Lawn, N. J. Nebraskans m Washington. Washington, June 17.—(Speclal Telegram.) —Rev. and Mrs. C. M. Shepard of Lincoln are here as the guests of Congressman Sloan, Mr. Charles Slama and two daughters of Wahoo, who have been attending the re- publican convention at Chicago, are making a visit to the east, and after spending a day or two in Boston are now In Washing- ton for a few days.

Can't Win for Them. “The so-called woman suffrage plank which they adopted, after bursts of eloquence that were far more frank than intelligent, cannot be expected to win the presidential campaign for them. But it may well be expected to win the antagonism of millions of the country. “If the plank adopted today is the president’s choice the world may Justly accuse him of descending to the tricks of the cheapest politician in order to bid for votes by flaunting a plank that may be interpreted in as many ways as there are people.” Mrs. Catt also sent the following telegram to President Wilson: “Inasmuch as Governor Ferguson of Texas and Senator Walsh of Mon- tana made diametrically opposite statements in the democratic conven- tion today with regard to your atti- tude toward the suffrage plank adopted by the convention, we apply to you directly to state your position on the plank and give your precise interpretation of its meaning. “CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT.” The nationals will hold another meeting of the execytive board to- morrow to outline a definite plan of attack on congress in an effort to push along the Susan B. Anthony or | nother constitutional amendment. Wells Talks at Blair About New Highway Blair, Neb., June 17.—(Special Tele- gram.)—A. P. Wells, president of the George Washington national high- way, addressed a small audience at the city hall tonight in an effort to convince the Blair business men that they should work shoulder to shoul- der in the interests of the proposed new road. Mr. Wells spoke for one hour and gave a resume of the good work accomplished by the Omaha Commercial club in furthering the new proposition. He appealed to the audience to grasp the opportunity to become part of the greatest of all highways, as the money invested would be returned a thousand fold. Mr. Wells deplored the slim at- tendance and promised to return at a later date and instill some enthu- siasm in the Commercial club. NO RUSH OF APPLICANTS TO ENLIST WITH UNCLE SAM The Flag day parade has not re- sulted in a rush to the recruiting of- fices of either the regular army or the National Guard, Lieutenant F. A. Buell, the United States army re- cruiting officer, reported that for the week ending yesterday noon the of- fice had received thirty-eight enlist- ment applications.
