CHASE DELIVERED GREAT ADDRESS TO THE GRADUATES TRAINING SCHOOL YESTERDAY . . r y t Thf address before the graduating 'rias. ot the Training School by Dr. Harry W. Chase was delirered yester jsy morning at ten-thirty; o'clock. It was a reat address; stimulating, thoughtful, iwwerful, filled, with opti mism. Xie great central theme was an fiucational program mat vriu eaaDie Aoieri'-a to meet the great problems 5he j facin? to-day. J The difficult tjsis t!iat coufront the- world in working out democracy are compll rared and call for the highest develop ment of the individual, and this can be dn only through an educational program that will give all a chance. , He began by saying that he had a feeling of solemnity and exaltation on this oorasion, solemnity because of the srcat confused and confusing taiks that lay ahead of such a group and exaltation that such a group is zs ai led to those who will go to help in meeting these tasks. He said that h-n the historians of the future rtjtne to set 4own the place of this perio-l in the world's history it will W clearly seen that this is one of tte focal periods of all history; Iot tolreds of , years the lines, have n wravrging' towards this and in ti.e fa:ure :!iey will be seen to diverge from this. It can be seen that two irear j'Jms have been " growing out ot the centuries, anrj have come into nnf,kt in this age: the one idea that t jforgrnnveat ' oxfatad in- or'r maifj the State, and there -was no bought of the Individual, and all :iu was- done for the individual was '. the purpose -of making him a more eicit-nt, better trained being" for the sake of the state;, the other ideal as that the State existed merely as a mans a mere, device for' giving men ni women what they truly wanted, fr thn people. The other having the state as the end is autocracy; an im ir'nal machine hlch grinds the peo ple down; "the other Is democracy, where the people become the end and ih jDverninent the mere means. Vict ory ia th great conflict with demo- ,ra,-y. . -- , The question now'is will the demo- v riT be able to think its way through the confusing problems that, now irs-v Democracy is on trial now as it never has been before. Democracy i far mure difficult to work than nuto ra v, because it is easier to rule the pi.,!e to dominate them and make them 0 certain ways than it is to lib erire them. The task "ahead of 'demo cracy is far harder to-day than it was in 1770, and will, be far more difficult in the senerations coming ahead, for 'u.'jur.iems grow bigger and vaster and troader every age.
