SIX Class History By Jennie Sandler Following is the Clasa History, hh delivered liy Mias Jennie Sandler at the ria«K Day exercl»en Tuesday at the Tulimar High School: Friends and Classmates: Glancing hack at the four long years and yet, as It now seems the four short years, that, we have been together, I see many Incidents, now memories, that will make the Class of 1914 dear to the heart of each of Its members In the fall of 1910 eighty-seven trembling girls entered the Tubman aa Freshmen. Now we gaze with admiration at the large halls, rooms, libraries and laboratories, and won dered whether we would ever he able to find our way about In the building. When we were planning and dream ing of our first year at Tubman, we had thought of high school life only as one continuous round of good times. Well, so It was for the first dav, but Oh, the sad awakening of the next, when wo were caught in the clutches of Mr. Garrett, who filled our schedule with such terrible looking subjects, that all our bright dreams were rudely shattered. How great was our pride In being called Fresh men Many were the times that we visited our grammar schools, just to slrut about and he pointed out as Tubmanltcs. But with all our pride, many an evening was spent In the burning of "midnight oil" that we might he, spared the humiliation of returning to those easy going grades. This alone was not. the full measure of our troubles. The mid term exam inations rose up before us like the gnost of Bsnquo. Hueh examinations were entirely new proposition- to us. Home passed, while others were not quite so successful. From then on It was the "survtvnl of the flttlest." The survivors who had fulfilled the requirements laid down by the facul ty were allowed to enter the Sopho more Class. Having been elevated one step In rank, hut many In dignity, our former loyalty to the Freshman Class was changed Into pity and con tempt With our second year's work be fore ur and realizing through expert ence that shnmniing was of no avail, we nettled down to serious work sgsln When our Sophomore roll whs made out. we learned that s i girl* had fallen out from our ranks in order to Join the higher school of matrimony. These girls who Instead ot declining tlio verb 'Will You.' had used fifty seven varieties of the vord ' yes” My, how we pitied them nud turned to conjugate our trench verbs with a secret feeling of grate fulness What iiranks we played to keep from having lessons'. A ell do I remember our little tet mouse which made Its appearance one day, from a small hole in the back of the room. Every day after that lie took turn* In bringing crackers for It. so that the "darling” would run around the room, causing confusion, pleasing frights, and best of all, taking up valuable recitation time. When finally we reached the Ju nior Class, panting and out of breath, Instead of giving us the Junior Class room which was ours by right of con quest, we were pushed back Into tuat little, dingy Freshman room, because the school was oveicrowded. The very thought that we were compelled to relinquish our traditional rights to the Junior Hoorn (or mere Freshmen made our blood boll, but we gradual ly cooled off and settled down to make the best of circumstances. Wo were condemned to tske dor man that year, and among other things, one day, while reading tier man, a member of our Illustrious class came to the word h-e-1-1, which you know mentis “bright,” and there she stopped. The teacher astonished, asked "Why, Noll, you don't know what h-o-l-1 means? Why we have been having that ever since tho first day we started German.” As Juniors wo also became finan ciers Finding ourselves In strr.lnod financial circumstances, we were greatly perplexed as to how we were going to give the departng Seniors a fitting banquet. We decided to give a csrnlv.il. According to records of past 'earn. It proved the most suc cessful l i unelally and socially, that ltad ever attemi ted by any class In the hlstoi yof the school After settling up all accounts, wo found our selves with about three hundred dol lars on the right side o the ledger. One hundred dollars of thl< sum was appropriated toward; the iiiildlng fund of the Medical College Tho remainder paid for the banquet and a gift which we leave to our alma mater „ , When we actually became Seniors. «• thought that we had passed through the worst of the fray, but coming to the "square of the hypotjv nus" and ploughing through a whole book of phvales, we found It "some thing else” With all the power and Influence that Seniors possess we broke that long established custom and elected our good old president for the fourth consecutive term. In basket Itall we have made our selves famous. Even as Freshmen our name has spread fur and wide as the champion basket hall players of the school The second year we won two cups and In the Junior Class we did not lose a single game. As Seniors, we did "some” playing and defeated every teem we got our hands on We triumphed over the Savan nah High School team, the Womans College, and Converse College teams. Alter those games no school or col lege dared hope to defeat us. Shall we ever forget that mid night soiree at Converse when we all squatted on the floor In the dark, passing the Ics rream freeter around and eating Ice cream with shoe-horns? We have been studying not only Latin. Algebra Bnd Geometry tnese four years, but have taken a thorough course In domestic science. We challenge anyone to excel us In cooking. I don't mean the parlor va rlety of cooking, such as making fudge and other dentists delights, but In the making of substantial and de licious breads, cakes, and pies. And In sewing, why we can exceed the speed limit on any machine. Aa a class, we have been enter COMMENCEMENT NEWS Class Speeches, Tubman High School, 1914 | lalned at quite a number of very de lightful parties given by members of | the class and the faculty. The ia.it, ■ but by no means the least, of these enjoyable affairs was a picnic given us by a beloved patron of our school. The basket hall team got all ready to go to another picnic, but owing to the inclemency of the weather or some thing of the sort, the picnic was In definitely postponed. Of the original eighty-seven girls In the Freshman Class there are only eighteen of us here, the other six were picked up on our Journey. To day when we realize the dream of four long years, and as we stand upon thp threshold of the door that leads Into the world, It Is not as we had thought It would he. We had dream ed of this day as the ha' pietg day of our lives, but somehow it Is not and we are so reluctan to say good-bye. Hut as we will soon realize that ‘‘it is better to have met and parted than never to have met at all," let us, dear classmates, make this day, our last day together, one that shall never he forgotten. Though these things will soon he but memories,they will he memories dear to the hearts of us all In years to come great will be our pride to think of the grand old days Hie Class of 1914 spent at dear old Tubman. Salutatory By Maude Dilworth Following Is the Salutatory, a» de livered by Miss Maude I>ll worth at the Class Day exercises Tuesday at the Tubman High school: Frlenda and Classmates: For the past year I have known that when commencement time came, that I should be the one to extend to you the welcome of the class of 1914. I have thought of It many times and have tried to make It the moat cordial wel come ever extended, because I am sure it is the slncerest. Through the vista of these past four years, crowded with the happy memo ries of each succeeding day, there has always stood out In radiant Joy, one day above nil other days for the girls of the doss of 1914. Our dreams of our commencement have been so brightly colored that we have all thought that when our time should come we would truly sing— " Hall to the morrow, away with all sorrow, I.et Joy reign forever supreme," tint now that we have realty gained entrance to that life, we find the colors a little faded. We wish that we were lignin tiling welcomed within the walla of our dear old Tubman, In which are held the dearest memories of our school life. 1 believe If we realized what an in fluence the Tubman has In this com munity, we would strive even harder to win for It the leading place In the rank of schools, like the note of a song In the mountains, tho works of Tubman are echoed and re-echoed In the furthest homes of Augusta, The voles of Tubman has been heard for years, and as year succeeds year, that voice becomes louder, because of the added strength and force It has gath ered Tubman has long been the pride of Augusta and It Is the hope and prayer of every Tubman girl, that In tho coming years It’s opportunities to help the Augusta girls will be ex tended, that It may Include each and every girl In the comunity. Gathering from each year all Its joys, wo have come to offer them, dear friends, to you In a welcome so loyal and true that they may tell you tor us what perhaps wo could not tell you for ourselves. What Is n welcome? It Is an old fashioned word and would seem threadbare from ttie using were it not charged with nn Irresistible magnetism, thrilled with nn eternal glory that knows no limitation. What ether offering could friend offer to friend that would mean so much? This welcome comes from the the heart of a girl for the hearts of other girls, straight to tho heart of you and so we bid you enter, denr friends, Into nil the Joys and pleasures of this, our (Mass Day, and know that In bidding you welcome, we give you our best and our all. closing lens II CENTRAL SCHOOL Pupils Complimented Their Teachers With “Fruit Shower.” Honors Announced.

Following is the class Prophecy, as delivered by Miss Katherine Whitney, at Class Hay exercises last Tuesday at the Tubman High School. It Is unnecessary to introdi ce to so cultured an audience as tills one of the great heroines of mythology. All have heard of the famous Cassandra. She was the piophetess who was never believed, but whose phophecies always came true. Having been honored by my class mates with the pleasant task of lore telling what the coming years will bring to them, I have, with the help of a medium, invoked the aid of the spirit of Cassandra. So I warn you, that believe them or not, my words will be fulfilled. I am going to re veal each class-mate to you Just as you will see her at various times within the next ten years. Concealed by yonder curtain stands my magic mirror. With a wave of my hand, I can invoke my mystical powers and make anyone appear as she will he in future. The first is Mattie Armour. She Is a tamous artist. Her pictures may he seen in all the great museums of art. You now see her working on her masterpiece. I can’t tell you what it Is she Is painting, though, for she hasn't labeled It yet. I think the name of it is “Armour’s Breakfast Bacon.” The scene changes. Now we see Mabel Newton, a celebrated violinist. She is famous on two continents for her wonderful skill in playing the violin. She is daily listened to by thousands of people. Don't he alarm ed, she Is not going to play now. It takes her too long to tune u.p. Who la this now? Why I scarcely recognized little Mary Bleakley! At last she lias given up playing paper dolls and has put on long dresses. She Is teaching others to play, for she Is now a play ground teacher and Is dearly loved by all the children. Next we behold Cecilia Meadow croft, the head of a large hospital. It Is whispered, though, that she Is to he promoted again. She will soon become the wife of a Tamous surgeon. If Dame Humor has It right. Cecilia says she never did believe in doctor s bills much before but she Is begin ning to think that doctors are not paid half enough for her. The scene again changes and this time is strongly resembles a stage. It surely Is, now may be seen Etta Donen. She Is the most tamous grand opera singer In America. She 1h now known as Madam Henrietta Japonnetta. I have the pleasure to announce that she will not sing at present. Mary Townes has realized her am bition. She is now a very successful teacher at the University at Red Hill, S. C. Red Hill Is not as big as < hi c.ngo but It Is a lot redder. Any how Mary says when she gets there Red' Hill will certainly be classed among the Towneß. Now look again and carefully. Here Is Ruth Clark, one of Tubman 6 champion basket ball iplayers. She Is now a physical Instructor and It Is needless to say is one of the finest in her profession. She i* strong enough to carry all her burdens alone but she says she would rather have a help mate. I>Ul 1 hear a typewriter? I certain ly (lid, and this is Alma Davis. Sue Is stenographer for the president of the Steel Trust In Now York City. She receives a salary large enough to supply any ordinary girl with all the Ice-cream sodas she can consume Here you may see Nell Griffin. She 1« known and welcomed far and wide by the destitute and poor. She Is one oT the foremost settlement work ers In Georgia. She has done much to alleviate the suffering and ignor ance of the poor. She brings a "ray of sunshine everywhere she goes. 1 hear the sound of music, res, and this Is Marguerite Morris, cele brated pianist She is one of the most popular performers of Too Much Mustard In the kitchen cabinet A large part of her time will bo taken tip playing wedding inarches tor the members of this class. She says ehe likes them. .. . 1/ook closely now for here is Naomi Silver as a trained nurse. She stands at the very top of her profession and has gained many friends by her win ning wavs. It Is generally Known, though, that she will soon give up nursing. She will take as partner for life a wealthy patient whom she snatched from an untimely grav«v The record doesn t say whether he Is glad she snatched him or not. Here is U.is Eve who has realized her ambition and t» now a philan thropist. She lias acquired wealth by the death of nn unknown uncle who left her ft diamond mine. she has always been very extravagant in her Ideas of the luxuries of life. 1« Is a well known fact that cho will In vest a nlckle in a hokey-pokey every quick succession follows Horothy Morris the successful society bel e and club woman. A little later thl* scene will be different. Then we will See Dorothy us one of the sweetest tiiul most successful little keepers In the city of Augusta. She ts a dainty dame dally doing her duty " 'll ere another artist In Mollie Shapiro. She belongs to that strange new school called the t übists. If she keeps on at the rate she has htarted she will one day be with the greatest exponents ot that school. Although she 1* » * can vouch for tho t&ct that »he is square In everything. Presto! The scene shifts and we see the interior ot an up-to-date kitchen In the new Tubman. In the center of the kitchen stands Dorothy Fitzgerald. She bas a rolling-pin In one band Bnd an egg beater In the other, and la glibly instructing a class of stm Id Freshman in the art of making sweet potato pie. She is not beating up eggs, she is beating up Freshmen. , _ , The scene Is now In the far Orient and here Is Gladys VtgmL She Is a missionary to China and deserves great credit for the glorious work she has accomplished. She Intend* re- r'HE AUGUSTA HERALPI AUGUSTA; GA. turning to America soon and I think there is someone waiting here for her. She has taught every good 1 hinaman to cut his queue like any gentleman should do. And now if there are any men pres ent let them beware and lie low, for here comes Estelle Salilowsky, suf fragette! You had better give’ her your vote for she is an ardent worker for "Woman’s Rights.” It will keep you busy repairing broken window panes if you don’t. Everybody’s attention. Here is Lillie Page, the aeroplane girl. She Is quite a bird in the art of flying and has successfully crossed the At lantic. She will not fly much longer. She is to have a companion and they will fly through life together. She has been up in the air so much with (k r lessons that she feels at home In a flying machine. And now you see Jennie Sandler, the most brilliant girl in the class. She continues to shine and now has a chair in a university, where she is professor of Mathematics. She says that she can prove that two are often made one. Get your opera glasses ready. Here is Helen Beman who always declared she was born or single blessedness. I believe in ,[leasing everyone, so 1 will let her have her parrot and cat for a short time though, the rejected lover will again climb the hill and this time he will not have come In vain. Helen will shoo her cat away and await the coming of an other day. I hear the sound of horses’ feet! Sure enough, for the scene is now a large ranch In Texas and Maude Dll worth is the center of attraction. She will soon be the head of a ranch ot her own for It is reported that she has already been lassoed by a cow boy. I see her now chasing one ol her dear little sheep and she exclaims as she runs, "If I ever do catch her, I bet I will “shear her.” Ah! Ixtok now at Lillian Wilson, the greatest contralto singer now living. To hear her singing "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep” is like taking a trip in a mine. And last, but by no means least, Is Hattie Irvin, the first bride from the Class of 1914! May all the succeed ing brides from this class be as su premely happy as this one. I tried to think of a "punn” but I couldn’t for Hattie says she has the only one. As lor myhelf I have drawn a blank but permit me to whisper, “I believe in watchful waiting.” Now I have another surprise for jou. Having been given the power of seeing each one separately, I have been given another vision. In spitd of their wanderings far and wide, a fortunate chance has brought them back to the old schoil. You may now behold a reunion of the Seniors of 1914. As years have come and gone we have realized how much we owe to the old school where we received our first inspiration, and singly and to gether are singing its praises. Following is the Valedictory, as de livered by Miss Lois Eve at the an nual graduation exercises of the Tub man High School at the Grand Opera House Thursday evening: I. ■1 know a place where the sun Is like gold. And the cherry blooms burst with snow, And down underneath Is the loveliest nook, \Vhei>o tho four-leaf clovers grow. One leaf is for hope, and one Is for faith. And one is for love you know: And God puts another In for luck — If you search you will find where they grow! ” Members of the Board of Education, Faculty of the Tubman High School, Schoolmates, Classmates, Ladles and Gentlemen —Mmemosyne. Goddess of Memory, Invites us tonight on a per sonally conducted tour! Down the vista of years, perchance, she will lead some of you; but only a few years does she travel back to present to us the picture of a band of eager maidens starting In search of a spot where grows the four-leaf clover called “knowledge.” On that memorable occasion—when we were enrolled as Tubman High School students —our hearts flut tered with the fear of Initiation into dark mysteries, of which there were dire threats', but our ardor was not lessened. We conned big books, and also the looks of upper class women until, at last, we became full-fledged Freshmen! During that year we found a petal of tha. clover named “hope." Examinations were passed and the hope that we might become Sopho mores became a reality. In our Sophomore year, wo attempt ed to find the second leaf, “faith." faith.” Sorely did we need “faith” aa we faced the problems of Algebra and fought with “Caesar tn hla wars.” But the "substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," waa realized and another leaf was plucked by a happy band Our number was now much diminished—some had dal lied by the wayside, tiring e'er that “loveliest nook” was found where grows the magic clover. “And one Is for love, you know.”— We then knew all history both “an cient nnd modern ” We had become “Cyclopedia of Modern Cooking." We had the "gift of tongues.” We length ened our dresses, coiffured our hair, and assumed a patronizing air to ward our friends of the lower classes. We found that our Junior year brought to ua more “love" of knowledge, more "love” for our faculty, and pride In our success us a class! One leaflet was now lacking to com plete the "four-leaf clover.l Did “God put another In for luck," or did He mean for it to symbolize "work?" We wilt thus term it. for surely we have worked during our Senior year. Knowl edge hart become a precious boon. ••Faithfulness and Perseverance,” twin hand-maidens beckoned ua on to where a diploma awnltert the worker. We have had "hope," we have had "faith,” we have “loved,” and are Valedictory By Lois Eve "strong” and tonight each of us clasps a "four-leaf clover!” We welcome you, our own Friends, and Friends of our school, on this crowning occasion of our school-life. We will not detain you longer to listen to the recital of our joys, nor of our sorrows —save the one grief that bur dens our hearts tonight—the regret that we are leaving “Tubman” for ever! We wish to thank you, our Fellow citizens and the Board of Education, for the excellent training that we have received during our school-days. You have not departed from the “old paths” of learning. You have but widened them. The best type of Modern Edu cation not only develops the individ ual girl physically, mentally, and spir itually: but it fits her for her sphere In life —if she has the ability and the desire for this development. As edu cation trains each faculty, it enables the one, who can and would soar, to try her wings In mounting into the blue of the heavens. If one, perchance, Is not fitted for soaring. It shows her best how the end for which God de signed her can be attained! Some of us will make better house wives; some of us will be better bus ness-women; all of us have broadsr, higher culture because of our train ing at the Tubman High School. The old axiom "know thyself has a corol lary now-a-days in "find thyself!” We are entering upon our Inheritance as heirs of the ages—an inheritance of which even life's vicissitudes can not rob us! We stand within the por tals of the House of Knowledge—roomy enough to contain all life and all ol life—and bounded only by Eternity! We would ask of you, our friends, greater things in the matter of equip ment; but we will content ourselves tonight with a "hint to the wise”— for the changes have been rung on our needs of more commodious quar ters, and you well know the desire of our hearts. To our loved Principal and his As sociates of the Faculty, I bring the tribute of our affection. Words are Inadequate to express our gratitude to you! Your patience, your tact, your faithfulness and love have made pos sible such measure of success as we have achieved. We shall solve life’s problems with greater ease for your training. We are the stronger for your lessons and example—and bet ter equipped for the journey because of your devotion to your calling and to us! Paraphrasing the words of that well-known child character, "Tiny Tim,” we would say "God bless you every one!” To our schoolmates, we leave the guardianship of the traditions of the Tubman. I shall quote to you the last verse of the little poem that suggests my trend of thought tonight: “You must have hope, you must have faith; You must love and be strong, and so— If you work, If you wait; you (too) will find the place Where the four-leaf clovers grow.” And now—what shall I say to you, O my beloved classmates, at this "parting of the ways? In mutual con fidence, in mutual love, in common struggles we have become welded into golden circles of friendship. Never again shall we meet as an unbroken band of happy, loving schoolmates! Some will seek the life commercial; others in the home will find their place, and yet others aspire to college honors. Who can say by what rungs of the ladder we shall mount “through the dust to the stars?” As we pledge ourselves to the high aim embodied In this our motto, we shall emulate each other in its attainment. I now challenge you to this quest of another "Holy Grail”—the ideal, the Eternal, which is found beyond the stars, where God grant that we may again meet as an unbroken band. A new day is breaking—the tints of a rosy dawn irradiate the sky. “See the sunbeams strike the day's eyes!” As we are true to the traditions of our Alma Mater, to one another, and to ourselves, we may unite in this “Salutation of the Dawn!” "For yesterday is but a dream. And tomorrow is only a vision. But today well-lived, makes Every yesterday a dream of happl nesss— And every tomorrow a vision of hope— Ix>ok, well, therefore, to this day! Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!” And to you, too, dear friends, may there come many new days radiant with happiness and opportunities for service! LOIS EVE, Valedictorian, T. H. S„ 1914.

Evans, superinten dent of Augusta s publis schools, de livered a splendid address on educa tion at the annual commencement ex ercises oT the Academy of Richmond County, held last Tuesday night at the Grand Opera House. It was said hy many who heard it to have been one of the best ever delivered here on this subject. Mr. Evans’ address follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: I never look in the faces of a graduat ing class without wondering what they know, that is fully worth while, and what they can do that is of value to the world. A great deal of time, money, care and sacrifice has been given to their education. For twelve years and pos s'hly longer they have been kept at school, and the community has paid for most of it. The community naturally expects to get a return for its invest ment. Tonight therefore the Richmond Acad emy declares a dividend on the grand old human stock of Richmond county, a di vidend not measured in dollars, but we think is measured in “sense. ’* These young men have learned a great many things, most of which they will probably forget. All the details of al gebra, and geometry, the Latin conjuga tion, the facts of history and science have been studied and mastered largely because they were made to do so in or der to get their diplomas. Young gen tlemen, t has been a long dry spell of dull books. T remember once buying a second-hand college book, f'n the flv-Jpif of which was written these inspiring lines: • “If e’er another f’ood should come, for refuge hither fly, For though the whole world he sub merged, this book will still be dry.** However, the graduates of our schools are not expected to everything we teach them. The knowledge they havp acouired must be digested and as similated and cease to be mere knowl edge, and must become a part of their life and be ground into their habits in order to become power. An education does not consist so much In teaching men to know things thev would not otherwise know, but it consists in train ing men to think as they could not othe-w’se think so feel as they would not otherwise feel, to aspire as thev would not otherwise esp ; re, and to do ns they otherwise could not do. Knowl edge is powe*". only when it ce°ses to he mere knowledge, and becomes brain and wiM and nurrose. T should like to sav this about the h'eh school time of life. Tt comes In the Ife of bovs when they cease to be bovs and start to be men. It is a part ing of the wavs. It Is the cross roads of destiny. It is here the bov begins to t«ke note of himself and feel the stlrrines of manhood —he feels the off mil of life—the life of a man. 1 do not fmi any particular concern about young children —there is an o»d fashioned and time hono r ed wav of making them behave. Tdo not feel any concern about grown-ups—they *re fixed for life. But I do feel a great concern about young men and young women in the making. This Is the age when a young woman most needs the watchful care of a moth er. and when a young man needs the firm, sympathetic and candid compan ions!) pof hls father He may be get ting his habits for life. Here present themselves two roads, one lending by easy naths into the epuet and peaceful valley of obscurity, and the other leading by difficult and danger mis n°sses to the sunlit and st°r-clown ed emlnece of great endeavor Tt Is verv easy to ohoose the lower road. Just let things alone and it ’s done. But know this, young men. that nothing reaPy great Is ever easy, and those who have attained fortune end fame hive done so with infinite sacrif ? ce. The great men of earth have comm by the thorn road. Tn the little town of that nestles at the foot of Mt. Blanc, there Is a bronze statue of a scientist who stands by the side of a eulde and points the way to the top of that glory of the Alns. Far off are those alluring .heights and few there are that brave it* terrors but to the undaunted souls that reach that pinnacle come all the wonders of a widespread north, and the glory of a far-flung skv. We but point the ways, we onlv chart the course, and we leave it for these brave young spirits to ton up the rugged slopes and w’Mte their names In the immortal records of the Alps. We have given them strength, and we have ’nsnired them with a mm pose. Bevond them lie the heights which thev must climb themselves. The difference In rnpn eons'sts in the units tn which they think. The small est men think In personal un'ts onlv life is measured by what touches and concerns them alone. T.areev men think In community units, and see the welfare of their neighbors and the good of tne town even If 't involves a personal sac rifice. Still lnrger men think In state units, and desire to fashion affairs w tn reference to the good of 'arg“T masses. There are men who think <n national units, and think for the people at large without reference to any party or anv seet'on. It is such a man as that who now adorns and dignifies the presidential chair of these United States, and who is thinking for the whole peo ple. Then once in a great while comes a man who thinks in world units and embraces in his care the whole of hu manity, regardless of creed, climate and color. Such a man was Cecil Rhodes with ihs world-wide scheme of education, Mr. Carnegie thinks that way in his scheme of International arbitration, and all the immortal names of philosophers, poets and philanthropists are those who loved all their fellowmen. To enlarge the range of thought, so that it w-ill F* l out of one's self, out of one s family, even beyond one’s community is to en large the vision of the individual and make him a greater and nobler citizem If education does not do this tt loses the main purpose of those who proposed the scheme of education of all the peo- P We are Justly proud of the traditions of our town. For nearly two centuries has she grown along the banks or the old Savannah, withstanding misfortunes by flood and flames, increasing each vrar tn size and strength. 1-or a cen turv and a quarter the history of Au gusta has been linked with the h store of the Richmond Academe. So far as i know the Academy is the oldest institu tion in Augusta It has poured Its graduates Into the business and profes sional life of Augusta until they mem ber bv the thousands. I have no doubt that there are now more than a thou sand living men who have graduated from or who have been students in this | Institution. Who shull measure Its value to Augus ta’ It Is not a money making enter prise. It ts not run for any private bene fit It is engaged In doing for Augus ta its greatest possible service In that It is making citizens for the grand old town As the Academy Is today, so will tlie future of Augusta become. It is the training camp for the Industrial, social, professional and moral army that shall occupy these places after the pres ent generation has passed away. We need great citizens before we need anything else. Along with skyscraping buildings we need skyscraping men. Along with levees to keep out the water, we need moral embankments to keep out the recurrent floods, pottles! and social Iniquities Above and beyond all our great enterprises we need right think ing. clean living, and high-powered men who are Imbued with great Ideas and great purposes and who will and who can do great things for Augusta. F rst and foremost let us make men—and all other thlnga will be added unto ua. SUNDAY, JUNE 14. ' i This is the business in which this school is engaged. In its ranks are al ready gathered the picked men of the future. They are the choice spirits, en dowed by nature and fostered by care, who shall stand guard over the well be loved traditions of the dear old town, who shall see that no unworthy hand grasps its municipal helm, who shall project noble enterprises, and preserve its own midst that moral integrity that is the foundation of every well govern ed city. Who then can limit the fulness of Its destiny? It is limited only by the ideals of its citizens fov the future dfreatness of this town and by their amotions for security, prosperity and peace. It is all very well to talk of bringing more people to Augusta. The more the better, if they are of the right sort. But our first care should be to look after those already here, and to grow from within by a substantial and capable manhood, which representing the origi nal heart of our city, can then invite ad ditions from without and form a support around which a great city can grow and upon which it can depend. And so. tonight, we are in the pres ence of more than an ordinary occasion, and we do honor to more than an ordi nary institution. Venerable Academy! You have come down to us from many former generations. Your graduates are honored in state and nation, and to call the roll of your alumnie is to name the controlling spirits of our city for more than a century. At thy sacred altar many a lamp has been lighted, that has passed on the holy fire to distant tem ples of the earth. We greet the pil grims who are this day leaving thy walls, and these who worship still at thy shrine. We welcome the hosts are yet to come. All shall swell that im perial army of devoted and enlightened citizens, who like the Crusaders of od shall storm the walls of ignorance and vice, nor stay their hand until the foot fall of the .Saracen no longer profanes the temple of the Lord.
