CLOSIMJ OFCOXCORll HIGH SCHOOL
Short But Good Program-Or Oran-
ford'i Address Certificate Conferred
Mr. Buford Corl mns a scholarship
iu Trinity College.
The court house was elabor
lately and very artistically deco
rated today with potted plants
and fragrant vines festooned
about the filing and across tjie
bar where it was looped to the
chandelier, ring above, from
which hung the colors blue and
red, stretching in flowing grace?
fulness to the wall. It was the
closing of the Conctrd High
School.
The program as published was
rendered to the pleasure and the
edification of the audience.
Dr. W I Cranford, being intro
duced by Prof. Lentz, made some
remarks, in pleasant veiu as a
prelude. He then said his am
bition was to say something that
would cause .somebody to do
some thing and if he failed to
cause some body to do differently
from former intents his trip to
Concord- would be in vein..
All is incomplete in this world
exeept the principles on which
completeness rests. Man is in
complete. Education is to bring
him toward completeness. He
could talk on nothing so import
ant as education.
His theme was that happiness
is in laboring for knowledge of
things that are. .
About us are beauty and
poetry. The uneducated do not
see tham. The educated do.
Heaven is ideal but if you want
to get there you must find it here.
The work we do in completing
things, in,makingthem what they
should be is heaven with us.
It is an error to suppose that
ideal life is freedom from wcrk.
Work for development, for com
pletion is ideal life. .
All things worth having are
to be worked for.
Man's labor is -worth to him
the manhood he puts forth in do
ing.it, and not the amount of
wages he receives. " The man
who wants shorter hours and the
same or higher wages would not
be content af'er obtaining the
situation.'
The discontented, the suicide
attempts to satisfy the infinite in
man with' the finite thiDgsbout
him. .
NotJiing can serve man but to
serve 'another. Labor for the
development f others. A man
too poor to educate his children
is doubly too poor to leave them
uneducated and children of par
ents who will sacrifice their lives
for the completion of these chil-
drenwill themselves generally
find a way to complete their own
education in college.
He plead vehemently for the ,
education of children though the
parent exhaust his own existence
in the labor. .
He scorned the getting of
hordes a,nd dogs tothe exclusion
of children's education and said
if you lovehe horse and the dog
better than the child then be
stow on them the greater care.
He touched upon tne.incon-
gruilyof some unsuccessful edu-J
cated men and some successful
uneducated men. He said educa
tion usually makes an ordinary
man a genius' and it multiplies a
genius into a'collossal power
that he would not attempt to de
fine. He spoke just an hour in his
own plain practical style pre
senting many truths in new form.
Prof. Lentz said this was the
most successful year of the Con
cord High School for the five
years in which he has been con
nected with it. He then dele
gated Rev. JAB Fry to confer
the certificates- of graduation,
which are a beautiful gold pin.
He analyzed the designs upon
them, even' the C. H. S., and
to high ideals through ennobling
toil. He then passed one of the
beautiful emblems to each.
Prof. Lentz then read the
honor roll, which was very pleas
ing, the climax of which was
that the scholarship offered by
Trinity College had been won by
Mr. Buford Corl.
The benediction was pro
nounced by Rev. W H Hiller and
the session of the Concord High
School exists only in record of
work done and imperishable in
fluences produced
