The commencement exercises of the Oakhurst School for Girls came to a close this morning when the closing exercises were held at the Masonic temple, in which Mrs. "Wil liam Jennings Bryan made the prin cipal address. A large audience greeted the wife of the famous com moner and her simple, yet humorous speech, well repaid them for coming in such bad weather. The exercises were opened by the audience singing "America." Rev. F. W. Stanton led in prayer and the singing of "When Life is Brightest," followed. In a clear and most pleas ing voice, Miss Anna Rankin gave a reading. She was followed by Miss Virginia Lee who played two selec tions on the piano. They were greatly enjoyed by the audience. The valedictorian, Miss Sarah Test, read a most interesting paper on "Efficiency In the Home." In presenting the diplomas to the five graduates, Miss J. B. Gray, prin cipal of Oakhurst, gave a short sketch of the development and growth of the public and private schools in Asheville.

She referred to the first superintendent of the city schools, Dr. P. P. Claxton, who is now United States commissicner of education. She also referred to Dr. J. D. Eggleston, who was afterwards superintendent of education in Vir ginia, but now president of V. P. I. in Virginia.
