To thfl accompaniment of music and flow
ers and the excited gaiety of parents and
friends that always attends a commence
ment , the young men and women of the
cla s of " 99 , Omaha High school , received j
their diploma * , the congratulations of their
frlendd and their release from the obliga
tions of rchool life , moro pleasant than lik-
Bomc.
The center of attraction , the graduating
class , was arranged In rising tiers of scats
on Boyd's theater ntagc , where were also
Superintendent I'carse , Principal Levlston ,
President Penfold of the board and Lr. )
Moore , chairman of the board High school
committee. The boxen were bright with a
profusion of bunting , the colors of the varl-j
on * High school classes represented In them. i
At every opportunity throughout the evenIng -
Ing class and other > elfn were given.
After the orche tra prelude , Miss Kllrabcth
Jeter came first with an essay , "The Short
Story. " She put the short story In the high
place of the characteristic clement In purely
American literature and , In Its best exam
ples , literature worthy of the nation. The
tendency of the age , the speaker said , acemed
to be toward specialization , In literature as
well as In science or art. The present great
popularity of the fhort story was simply
another manifestation of specialization pur
sued In another direction.
UlHcmmrn Vn-loloKj- .
Mr. Oshcr Schlalfer took sociology for his
thomc. The modern science , he declared ,
did not deny the conclusions of Uie old
KBges , but the world had progressed and de
veloped Into an entirely new belief ns to
the nature of man The new-born child , the
natural outgrowth of perfected physical sci
ence , superseded It and undertook to grap
ple with the more serious problems of what
the world Is and , more Important jut , -what
the world would be.
Howas not a socialist In the ordinary
fcciiso of the world , the speaker said , but he
believed It was the duty of society to place
within the grasp of every man opportunities
to do for himself. In the name of sociology
or of Christianity , the education of men and
women to ibe self-respecting and self-mm-
talnlng , without permitting him to feed at
the table of oharlty. The highest social Ideal
the human mind was capable of entertain
ing was a state In which every man and
ovcry woman was a source of strength to
the community. Our schools must be BO di
rected as to train the heart as well an the
mind , Sociology must be Introduced ns a
study , imperatively disassociated from re
ligious ethics.
Miss Ala Neville and Miss Clara Welden-
nall rendered .1 piano duet , the "Tann-
hauser" overture \Vagner , as arranged by
Liszt , giving It an Intelligent and entirely
adequate interpretation.
( Miss Florence Cook described "The Birth
place of Modern Science. " Inductive reason.
Ing. by which alone modern scientists were
able to accomplish anything , she likened tea
a flower , germinating in the seed and pre-
hcrved with great difficulty through the
dark ages and flowering In fullness In the
Nineteenth tcntttrj. For the birthplace of
science she looked back to ancient Alexan
dria , where the first scientific school the
world ever knew was founded. Scientific
research was checked by the conquest of the
Saracens and prevented from being sonn
In Europe by the religious bigotry of me
diaeval times. Today , science and religion ,
freed of all restraints , go hand In hand ,
twin sisters.
1'roiul to np nil American.
Sherman Smith made the declaration ,
"I Am an American , " and proved It to be a
fcafo one > by the fervor with which ho as
serted that no prouder boast could be made.
If the terrltorlar questions arising fiom the
Spanish-American war are settled as God
would have them and as the nation avows
Its Intention to be , it will be shown that a
strong people iniij be a blebslng to weaker
ones , but If the rule Is made one of might
and not of right , if the conquered nation Is
exploited tor the commercial advantages of
the conquering , America will become , as It
wl'l deserve to , a hissing and a bword
among the nations America , Mr. Smith be
lieved , held the destiny of future years In
Its grasp as no other nation did. Unless It
were thoroughly American In spirit and ac
tion , It would neither succeed nor fall
greatly. If it were , It could become the
Slnal among natlcns and from the thunder .
and cfouds of Its awful struggle would be
handed down freedom , the law of nations.
An orchestral Interlude divided the second
end part of the exercises from the first The

ceived from the hands of Superintendent
I'carse certificates attesting to their training
In military lines. In presenting them the

Miss Irene Hamilton , speaking on "The
P'-ogreis of Individualism , " pointed out the
increase In the Importance and actual worth
of the Individual. Men relatively great were
lint perhaps inert numerous now , but com
pared with those of former ages they vvere
vastly more eminent in know ledge and capabilities ' i
,
pabilities The disregard of the rights of
i
thct Individual was the great explanation 1 j
for the wrecks of nations strewed along ; .

of on essay "Co-Kdticatlon " She called at
tention to the short time which had elapsed
since the first suggestions had been made
that women be educated Now the only
question vvas. What studios were best
adapted to her needs and development
The co-educational Ideas ot the grade
schools had gradually Influenced the con
servallsm of the universities nnd the co
educational character of the latter was a
direct result A man's education wan not
bised upon his masculinity nnd his studies
wore therefore equally well suited to
woman's education nnd development. Coeducation -
education took the roughness out of young
men and the simper out of girls , making
them less dependent , more helpful nnd
more broad The higher both go together
the higher olvlllratlon will be.

Miss Clare Mackln liad "Liberty" for the
subject of an oration Liberty had been
represented as a goddef-s , trapped In a fla ,
but It was rather a strong man armed for
battle Tranny , Its opponent , vvas a far
later growth , where tyranny had slain mil
lions , liberty had slain Itn tens of millions.
) et Pien were proud to die for her. In the
111 st daya of the constitution hid the liberty
ot America been most real , for then every
home contained Its hero. But now cold rea
son must defend our right Somewhere be
tween privilege and servitude Hes a small
place whore civil liberty Is. Hut for liberty
there must be among the mas of a people
solt-rcst/ainl and Intelligence enough for
government. When H Is given before these
things exist the result Is anarch ) . The
brotherhood of man , far above scientific or
industrial advance , wan the highest ideal of
liberty. Lot the lovers of liberty , the speaker
urged , cherish It too much to give heed to '
every demagogue who proclaims In Its name.
President Ponfold , In presenting the class 1
their diplomas , congratulated the graduates
upon their advance thus far In educational I
pursuits and expressed regret for those who
might have dropped out. In this connection
ho urged that parents take more Interest in
the schools and the teachers who are train
ing their children. Only about 30 per cent
of the class of ' ! )9 ) as It had entered the High l
had graduated. Strc of circum
stances nas largely responsible for the fall
ing off , but howished that the percentage
might be Increased.
The stage was cleared and the class
marched past President Penfold and re-
celvcd Its , diplomas. FThe curtain ( ell vvlthi

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
It Is understood that a mass meeting Is to
bo hold on Jill ) 11 for the purpose of dls-
cussing the High school bond proposition
Ever ) ta\pacr In the clt ) , s well ns those
who have children of school age. arc to bo
Invited to attend , In order that a full ex-I
prcsslon of the people may be obtained. It
Is possible that at this meeting the question
of submitting bonds will bo finally settled
If the sentiment in favor of bonds appears
to bo In the majorlt ) the Board of Edtica-1
tlon mill doubtless submit the proposition at
a special election. U Is deemed Inadvisable1
to wait until the fall election on account
of the small vote which the proposition will
receive , as experience has shown that bond
propositions < lo not get much attention at
regular elections ShouM there be a mass
meeting nnd the sentiment expressed bo to
favor of bonds It would be thlrt ) dag at
least before the proposition could be subi
mltted , as the law requires a notice of thirty
das to be given before oil ) special election
Tills would bring the date of the election
along Into the middle of August , and then ,
should the proposition carry , the bonds
would have to bo prepared and sold and
contracts lot. A site would also have
ho secured , which would take co-nsldcrable
time and , taking evei ) thing into consld-
oration , It would bo ncarfy the opening of
winter before active building operations
could ho commenced. Hnglnccrs who have
looked Into the matter assort that n building
of the dimensions suggested would take at
least a. ) ear to complete , so that should the
election be held In August It would be the
commencement of the fall term of 1900 be-
tore the building would be ready for occu-
pane ) . Kven at the best a change In the
membership of the Board of education might
delay matters so that the prospects ot a now
building cannot be depended upon to relieve
the overcrowded condition of the ward
schools
On the other hand , the bond proposition
might not carr ) , and then the Hoard of Edit-
'cation ' would be out the cost of a special
I election , which would at least amount to
$ GOO While , as a whole , the board has
taken no action toward the voting of bonds
aside from the selection of a committee to
la ) the matter befoio the Commercial club ,
the "antics" of certain mcmbcis of the
i buildings and grounds committee have been
I noticed by the pocple , and It ma ) be possible
that propel I ) owners might refuse to vote
for the bonds on account of the anxiety
ot these members to see the bonds voted
In order to have a hand in the letting ot
contracts and the purchase of a site Two
attempts have been made previous ! ) to vote
bonds for school houses , but both have
failed. The school district 1s about the only

Through a misunderstanding an error was
made In Wednesday's Bee in connection with
the help at the new postofflce building.
The statement was made that the erection
of the screen was being delaed on account
of the inability of the contractors to secure
competent help. D. L Norrls , who Is In
charge of the Interior finishing of the build
ing , says that the men he has arc entircl )
competent , but that ho has had some diffi
cult ) ' In seeming enough of them. There
was no Intention of casting any rellectlon on
any of the men now working on the build
ing , the Idea being to convey the Impres
sion that carpenters capable ot performing
the exacting work icqulred were scarce
This explanation Is given In Justice to the
carpenters on the Job and also to Mr. Noi-
ris ; , who has the hiring of these men.

Complaints are constantly being made
about the bad condition of the sidewalks In
dlffctent paits of the city The leccnt
heav ) rains have rendered a number of
walks almost Impassable , especially In the
northwest part of the city. Along North
Twenty-blxth street iue walks are almost
completely washed out and in some In
stances pedestrians arc compelled to make
a detour of sevoial blocks In order to leach
the business portion ot the city without
wading thiough mud. The street commlh-
sloner has been so busy of late attending to
vvnshoutb In the streets that he has had no
time to repair sidewalks. This work , liow-
ove. ' , will bo taken up ai soon ns the
weather clears and tl-e washouts now 10-
