RANDLEMAN COMMENCEMENT. Large Crowd Tn.ad.r Despite the Threatening Wemther Mr. Broad har.t'l Addreu. ' The Randleman Graded School commencement season began Sun day morning with the annual ser mon by Rev. 0. L. Powers, pastor of the first Baptist church of High Point. His discourse was one that should have been heard by every young man and young woman, be ing directly applicable to young people who have an ambition. The text was found in the first chapter of Daniel, the first veise: "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not dehle himself witn the portion of the King's meat, nor the wine which he drank." Daniel's character was analized and his hearers exanlted to emulate the ex ample set up by him. Hje present ed Daniel as a man of purpose; a man of dreams that is a man of high ideals, of ambition. Aud with his dreams and ambitions he was careful of his conduct that he did nothing tending to hamper him in his course. He was a purposeful man who meant to be, aud by be ing cautious, was the man he pur posed. His heareis were held in closest attention during the dis course, which was appropriate and appealing. Mr. Powers made many friends while there and his words will not soon be lost to the congre gation. Tuesday was the big day at Ran dleuian, a large crowd attended the exercises. TUFSDAY. 10:00 A. M.

Broad hurst' The Asheboro Band furnished most excellent music at Ramllemarr Tuesday during the commencement It was-one surprises of the day that Aeheboro po,s?SSea such a thorough ly trained organization of muiciaus They were the recipients of many nattering comments uy tue aueu dants. A feature of the program was an addiess by E. D. Broadlnrit, of Greensboro, which was accorded much .favorable comment. He an enthusiastic speaker and holds his audience in almost rapt atten tion. In part Mr. Broadhurst said: "After 1 quit the teaching pro fessionthat of teaching children in a public school bouse and en tered upon the practice of law, mine became a wider field, that of teach ing men and women, iu classes like this one now before me, that they might the better serve their own children and the better co-operate with the self tacriticing teachers, who are daily wearing away their very lives in your service and in the service and in the service of your childreu. You have done what few com munities of the state can boast of, namelv: You called a local tax election last vear, and carried it overwhelmingly for graded schools You found that 30 cent- on the hundred dollars did not produce sufficient revenue, without hesita tion you asked for aud received a permit from the legislature to in crease the tax to 40 cents on the hundred dollars. You see, then, I am not permitted w g wr you on u e rci F.u,- ! non. mgnt werr nave you . your d uty there. out -school house would be an ornament to any town , m xwtu vruuu, So giving you credit for all you have done toward establishing your public school ou a firm foundation, I have come here to-day to plead with you parents for the riglrs of childhood. Every child in this community has the right to make use of this school for nine (!)) months out of each year . It is with that thoughtless, careless parent, who has seen tit to trifle with his child's right to rue this schcnl; or, that parent who hv, allowed his child to flit away the opportunity piovided for by this progressive citizenship, that I have come to quarrel. You say it is a lawyer's business to talk. Perhaps so, in the eyes of the general public. Certainly a lawver likes to believe iu his case likes to think of his cause as a good one his client an innocent one. ; With such a well fixed belief he is j the better equipped for the fight when it comes ou before a jury to j decide the facts in the case. Wl'i.n T entered linnrr t e lrart!0 , . of law I i that pitc of mv lew ; C I '- UK- lino eiiiiean lose lli'etv-t in I II" , oil ivVi.. i.i o.i.i Carolina that the school children of the State should be my liftjlong clientc To them I would give mv best thoughts, my sincerest heart beats, and the use of my voice at any time auu unaer any circum stances that their need and their childhood rights might see fit to call me throughout this commonwealth. I may say something here to-day that some of you may not like the truthdoes hurt sometimes but the fact that I know the justice of my cause; and believe in the innocence of my clients will temper any harsh sounding words that may fall fiom my lips. I have come here to plead for a better chance in life for that boy and for that girl of yours. A confidence in the sturdy manhood and womanhood before me fills me with determination and a desire to handle the truth as I may see it, however much it may rue up against your own preconceived ideas along lines of thought that ha e to do with the general question of public edu cation, and the responsibilities of some so-called parents who seem to regard their children as so many machines, having an earning capaci ty of so many cents per day. Just here the general term "Educa tion" was defined as training de velopment (good or bad) from the earliest to thelatest form of any kind of animal life. Ulustra tions from animal aud plant life were brought, iuto show inllueuce ot early training and environment. 'A boy is one of those animals a peculiar growth is h? that must have, that will have seme kind of education some kind of train ing either if man or of a beast. There is too much of the Godlikeness too much of the God nature in the average boy to allow him to grow up neither good nor bau. He will grow into a good and useful man, or into a trilling mean oi e. The law will not allow vou to kill him as a b tbe. You can not help y u self. Just so certaiu as he lives he will receive somewhere, somel ov, some kind of training either to Your credit or to your dis credit. It is vou duty, your iare pmilegeto help start him aright, by keeping him at school, whether he keeps right or not. It is for you to say whether he shall be tiained for good citizenship, or for bad" At this point the question of non attendance on the part of children, and the parent's share of responsi bility was handled aud the thought less, mercenary father, who, by force or inattention," kept his by at home, was given his dues. 'I make bold the statement that a boy or a girl who has been bound down and a mill stone of ignorance tied about his or hi r neck by care less, indifterent pare ts. lias, in a sense, been murdered. The father is the living, uucoui.-ted murderer; and the boy or the girl so bound dowu is the living, accusing corpse, so to speak, of what was intended to be a useful man, ora useful woman." Continuing the discussion of the parent's responsibility ad the lights of childhi oi, the question ot com pulsory education and our need of compulsory education law in North Carolina, was the subject of closing remarks. Matters pertaining to public education were declared to he of to.) ere;lt im inane.! iu uec-ume nartv issues. All factious should work for our eduratio a' advance ment, whuteur may be the policies nf g-nvernniMit advocated bv the differr-i.t oubtical parties. Wi h.n the next ten yeaia ti:e most nrosressive men or tnis com- m n tv those parents wl o have re- I , a for th ir childh'ood aud its rights will eladlv iom in a move ment that will force all parents to 8 nd their children, between the ages of six and fourteen, to school so many days out of each school year, or be held liable under the statue law of the state "I believe with all my soul that neither you nor any other man has the right to starve the mind of his child, when there is a school house within easy reach. I furthermore believe that where a father is unable to buy the neces sary books for his child, rather than let the child grew up in ignorance, or be kept in the field during the school term I believe that the Suite should furnish him with books and force the boy to ttend school. I will go further Upon the same principal that the State furnishes the school house, the school teacher, the chalk, the desks, etc., I believe that the State should furnish th? text looks aud also furnish a law to compel tiie chiid to go to school, there to use the books, the teacher, the chalk, etc. Now some of v. mi l.i. k a little interested in that sort of d'x trine.

Third .Service Ilild at Worlli vlllr Proves IntrrenlliiK to MI I.nrge Atteiiiluiice. Sunday, June 3rd, was observed by the Worthville Sunday School as Old People's Dav. This is the i third time this school has held such a service, and it was unanimously ; voted to be the best yet held. j 1 he morning service was exclu-i sively for old people, and consisted j of old hymns, reminiscences of early i lays by some of the older members of the school, a short talk by L. 11. j Hughes of Jew Salem, on ' 1 he I Parents Duty to the Child," and one by r:or. x nomas JNewnn, or (iuilford College, on "The Ideal i Life."

I Iuthe afternoon a short service: was held for the children, when 1 I'rof. Newlin and Mr. Mendenhall talked to the little ones in a very delightful way. At night Prof. Newliu addressed the young men aud women, in the very best talk of the whole day. His subject was "Opportunity," and evry young man or woman who heard it should be the better for having done so. lie was succeeded by llev. N. U. Hichardson, whose talk was so closely linked to his, that it might have been part "f the same address, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Many visitors ironr other com munities attended the services. We caunot name them all, but among them we noticed, the families of G. K. Bonkemeyer, W. II. Bonke-nr-yer and Rufus Yow, of Central Falls; Thos. Coltrane and wife, of New Market; J.
