DR. BUTLER DELIVERS ADDRESS
Admonishes the Grsdnstet That
School Education I bat Begin-nlna-
of Lsrgcr Educa
tion of Life.
In his address last ntsht to the gradu
ating class of the high school composed of
forty-six young women and eighteen young
men. Dr. Nathaniel Butler of the Univer
sity of Chicago took as hi theme, "The
Use of Literature." Incidentally Dr. But
ler spoke briefly In commendation of man
ual training In th publlo schools. Dr.
Butler's address waa a scholarly effort. II
aald In part:
The notion that education ceases at com
mencement or graduation has been com
pletely abandoned. Education In Its broad
est sense must necessarily be a lifelong
process. Rvery day should add its quota
to the sources of efficiency In meeting the
problems of our existence, In our relations
to home, society, vocation and the church.
On an occasion like this we must consider
education, not In it broad sense, but dis
tinctly that department Included In the
term, school education. The training that
the student receives In high school and
college is a preparation for a distinct voca
tion. While this Is true and 1 equally es
sential as the broader consideration, there
is a general culture received which pre
pares the student for Intellectual cltlsen
shlp. A community composed of men know
ing a trade simply and having no other In
terests would not be worth living In. There
Is an additional requirement A true cltl
sen must meet also the demands of com
munity life In Its relation to home, society
and the church.
Vain of Literature.
One of the chief Instruments of culture Is
the study of literature. Literature Is a rec
ord of the best that has been thought and
felt In the World. He who makes himself
familiar with It Is placed In sympathy
with the highest motives that have moved
the race. Thus we see that this know
ledge Is closely associated wtlh the larger
life of the community. Blnce we have de
fined literature as the record of the best
that has been thought and felt In the
world It Is easy to answer the question.
What Is the object of literature? It can
have ho value merely as an ornament to
our existence, but must be regarded only as
a supreme help to living. It's real value
lies In Its effect on character, and as a
means to develop a practical attitude to
wards life and the world.
The appeals of literature are felt In
three distinct ways; by Its Influence on
Intelligence, by Its development of the
artlntlo sense and by Its creation of sound,
moral Judgment. When we recall some
of the masterpieces of literature, we realise
that we have learned to value them for
these three causes, that they have helped
us In these three ways; In onr methods
of thinking and our appreciation of beauty
and moral precepts.
In applying this thought to th situation
of high school graduates I desire to urge
them to realise that their graduation car
ries with It responsibilities to the com
munity which has made their education
possible. I would urge you, so far as It
Is possible, to carry your education fur
ther, especially In Institutions calculated
to train for a particular vocation. I wish
to lay a special stress on the new develop
ments In educational circles, namely, man
ual training. Williams James of Harvard
university stated recently, "In the last
fifty years no advance In education has
come to pass worthy to be compared with
that represented by what is known as
manual training." By this discipline the
student develops his brain, and also Is In
stilled with habits of thoroughness, hon
esty and mastery more surely than in any
other way.
In closing I wink to urge the graduates
that, while their education Is by no means
finished, they have reached a definite point
In It. Hereafter obligations will rest upon
you and you must regard yourselves as
belonging to the class of Intelligent and
responsible citizens. You must be thinkers
tnstead of having your thinking done for
you. You must be helpers and not expect
continually to be helped; particularly you
must realise that education not only In
creases efficiency to maintain you, but en
riches every side of community life, so
cially, educationally and religiously.
The Inclement weather Interfered with
the attendance, but did not hinder the Im
mediate relatives and friends of the grad
uates from witnessing the exercises which
marked the close of their public school
life and the large auditorium was com
fortably filled despite the ram. The exer
cises following the Invocation by Rev. H.
W. 8tarr, rector of St, Paul's Episcopal
church, were opened by a short talk by
Superintendent Clifford. Hon. Emmet Tin
ley, president of the Board of Education,
presented the diplomas, making a short
address. In which he paid a high tribute
to the class and the, faculty of the high
school. The benediction, which brought
the exercises to a close, was delivered by
Rev. Grant B. Wilder, pastor of the Sec
ond Presbyterian church. Th' musical
numbers consisted of a selection by the
high school orchestra and th singing of
the class song by th graduate.

town Supreme Court for First Time
Fixes Time When Persons Can
Be Assumed to Have Reached
Ace of Discretion.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, June (.-(Special.) The
hearing before the State Railroad commis
sion today on the question of Joint rates In
Iowa, being a continuation of the hearing
of last month, developed nothing hew un
less It was the fact that It will take a
much longer time than had been antici
pated to arrive at any conclusion. When
the hearing waa adjourned the commission
suggested that ths shippers and the rail
road men get together and try to agree on
some basis and to submit the matter to
the board. It developed today that they
had started on this plan, but Immediately
became overwhelmed with the magnitude
of the undertaking and- nothing had been
accomplished. It was developed, especially
tn relation to the application of various In
terests at Shenandoah, that some progress
had been mode, that a conference was held,
that th representatives of the legal de
partment of the Milwaukee and other rail
roads had agreed that they would be will
ing to put In a special Joint rate for the
dhenandoah people atone on the basis of
the Iowa distance tariff, plus a t cent ter
minal chsrge, that this statement had gone
to the traffic departments and had at onre
been sidetracked because the moment such
a rate Is put In for Shenandoah It would
be demanded for every other place In the
state.
It was also developed at the hearing that
practically every place tn the stat had
ssked for Joint rstes and on every com
modity and on all railroads, and that tf any
rate Is put tn It must cover so many com
modities and such a large part of the en
tire business of the state that It would be
tn effect a blanket order for a general Joint
rate.
Will Raise Interstate Rates.
It was also developed during the hearing
here today that It is th deliberate Intention
of the railroads to raise the minimum on
the Interstate Joint rate schedule. The chief
argument tn behalf of a minimum of 25
cents on Joint shipments In Iowa has been
that th railroad have voluntarily made
that minimum on Interstate Joint rates.
When the shippers presented their view of
the case today the railroad attorneys sought
In every way possible to oommlt them to
the theory that if the interstate rates are
raised so as to eliminate the discrimination
then they would be satisfied. The represen
tatives of Interests at Shenandoah refused
to thus commit themselves, and they have
been the chief complainants before tho
board. Then tt was stated, on behalf of the
railroads, that at a conference held In Chi
cago last weok It was deliberately deter
mined that the Interstate minimum is to be
raised from 25 cents to 60 cents. This will
be done so, that the argument of the Iowa
shippers will be destroyed.
Concession Is Important.
The hearing was regarded by all as an
Important one and representatives of nearly
all the railroads were here. The shippers
at Shenandoah have made the hardest fight
for the Joint rates, aa they were responsible
for the passage of the bill In the first place.
They regard the concession to them of a
Joint through rate on the basis of the Iowa
distance tariff and with an added charge
of only 5 cents for transfer as a great vic
tory. The transfer charge is and long has
been 26 cents and this had been the source
of much complaint.
Representatives of the Iowa Central made
the statement to the commission that they
are willing to eliminate the transfer charge
entirely on a basis of dividing the through
rate as 80 per cent of the two local rates.
This will not be considered, however, as It
was agreed by all that the 80 per cent basis
would not work out well.
The commission did not announce any
conclusion today, but further conferences
are being urged and th commission will
take up the work In detail later.
Acs of Discretion.
The Iowa supreme court has decided that
the age limit marking the line- between
rfiponslblllty and Irresponsibility Is not
the same In personal matters as In political,
and that the arbitrary dictum of the legis
lators that political responsibility begins
at the age of 21 has no bearing on the
actual responsibility of the boy or man.
The case came up In relation to one Leon
ard Doggett. aged 17, a cripple, who was
Injured In getting off a train while It was
In motion, he having been a trespasser.
The court held that It was not the duty
of the conductor who ordered him to get
off to tske Into consideration the fact that
he was a cripple and the danger of get
ting off was therefore great. It also held
that when the lower court Instructed the
Jury In considering contributory negligence
to take Into consideration ths age of the
boy It did wrong, for that Implied the boy
might not be capable of determining what
he ought to do. The court holds that In
Iowa the rule should be that 14 and not 21
Is the age at which responsibility for acts
of ordinary care should begin.
It Is stated that this Is the first time
the Iowa court has undertaken to fix a
rule as to when the age of discretion be
gins as to ordinary car for the protection
of th person.
