TlieYoun Graduates AcquHTl)Jnselres TellCn(r Very Unfavorable, tlir- cuinsta ues Mr. Meban Speaks with lh Characteristic Euthusiasm for Public Education Ilouors Conferred. - - The Concord Graded School held its ccmmencement exercises in the cfturfr house JBViflav night. The court room was aTVcrother out of proportion to the inv est taken ; -i n the ' ' school v vThc audience -was a j:yn like sar dines in a box, evury 'available space being oocupi6d, people standing where there wera! ni seats. Under such, circumstances . - . v . . . the tender voices of the young performers, however clar, they mignV ' have rung in a less crowded hall could not fill that dense mass of vibrating, .respiratory astmosphere. The j Bhalf could not bo ' heard and j when an audience cannot hear; an Know it oecomes restive ana noisy, making the chances of hearing still less. Wo are in- formed that the graduating class is chagrinned on account of the disorder that prevailed, some of which was inexcuseable. The - " hissing and cat calls from a num ber of boys, that need a few good warm draughts of the slinDer. , v, were exasperating enough and the class maviustlT feel otfondod j t 4 " - at that and any other noise avoid able under the circumstances. ' All in -all, however, the exer cises were quite creditable and irienas.ana lovers or youxn as well as parents1 and . relatives of the vouner reot)la ar nrnud nf 1 n x - - sr i the class and we herein pffer bur sincere congratulations.; t '' The music was specially good; the enunciation being 'very good for so many voices. . i I l- ' Th "scene was delightful to behold with its bright young faces intermingled with flowers and plants. " Prof: ChasjH Meba'nV,1 1 presl-' dent of Gatawl&-c$lle&tylsaH'-trod'ueed. and ! ior . o'efe.'' nbnri ad dressed the audience, throtnid himself well, into his favorite theme, "The Public Schooled Popular Edupaio.'f,; i jHe Wjas not altogether jfree . fronx jgloxjm over the lack of attendjinCj pu the public schools. lie sees no way of getting" all the children into, the schools, but by compel!-' ing parents to send them.. He congratulated Cabarrus on being in thelront in the move ment for larger thool districts and better school houses. ; He saw in this mbveme&.''the oppor tunity for better paid : teachers anefcbetter work. ' ' At the close of Mr- Mebane's address the v graduating certifi-' v. caies were presemeu uy ;wir. u B Coltraner the chairman of the graded school board. He pref aced the act with some happy J prophetic statements, showing L?lsgre9t faith in the onward Win! upward movement for popu lar education. A verjr happy closing feature was yie presentation of a pack of. 25 visiting cards from Mr. J B Sherrill to eahgirl in the white gradedshqols who 'made record during the term free from, abs.epce or tardiness.
