The graduating exercises of the
Riammer .schools ot t-ne Hiokm-v Htv
scnoois were held in the auditorium

last night, this beincr thp thirH of
the commencement entertainments
given this sprinir.
A large audience packed the audi
torium and heard the address given
ny mayor it. Yount n w tnH
",r j'ioKlUiii given ny tne young
people which was of a very high
order and thoroughly enjoyable.
Mr. Yount, who was introduced by
Supt. R. V. Carver, spoke of life as
a procession of events. We are
gradually moving forward and the
young people of today are the men of
tomorrow. They are dreamers but
the dreams of youth are asnirations
that load them to comtemplate the
things toward which they are striv
ing daily to reach higher and nobler
deeds. Such has the world ever
been and such will it always be. It
is tor this reason that we eouin the
schools with the best of material
and teachers, to help the youth to be
lit ted to battle in life and be able
to attain higher ideals which are de
sired.
In the recitation contest two irirls
lrom the south school spoke and two
lrom the North. Two boys from each
scnool also spoke in the declamation
contest. The judges were chosen
from the audience and the $2.50
gold pieces were awarded to Miss
Kuth betzer and Shelton Drv.
Miss Virginia Allen presented the
pupils of the South school with diplo
was while those of the North school
were presented by Prof. J. D. Sam
uels. Bright music and choruses
were a feature of the splendid pro

oncert, an event of more than usual
interest. A brilliant and varied pro
gram was finely rendered through
out. The stage was beautifully
decorated for the occasion, and the
young performers, representing the I
several departments of music and
expression, gave their selections
seemingly under a bovver of crimson
ramblers. Hearty and due apprecia
tion was shown by the large and at
tentive audience.
. The annual commencement concert
at the college has desevedly come to
be reconginzed as one of the chief
musical features of the year; and
that of last night only served to
raise the high artistic standard
reached in former seasons.

JUDGE
Riga, Latvia, May 5. Hope and
anticipation was shown in the faces
of every one of the 57 men and 11
women, real pioneers tl-ey called
themselves, who arrived i t Riga late
in April from America on their way
to Siberia to take over concessions
Igranted them by the soviet govern
ment.
Each member of the party, headed
by Dr. William Mahler, of Newark,
N. J., gave assurances that he or she
was prepared !;. all kinds of hard
ships and Wi. wiilling to take
things as they . .;m?. All agreed that
they did not f Dect Loo much in Rus
sia, at the st:: c but they were go
ing to give Lhe cooperative plan a
thorough test, an dbelieved it would
work out.
In the party was William A. Van
hoffen, a consulting engineer of Chi
cago, a Russian who has lived in the
United 'States 1 8years. There were
nine other engineers, the remainder
of the men being miners from Arizo
na Montana, Pennsylvania and farm
ers chiefly from the Dakotas, Wash
ington, Oregon and other parts of
the west.
Four of the young men brought
growing strawberry plants from Se
attle, having nursed them like babies
al Ithe way with the hopes of soon
replanting them on the land which
the Soviets have assigned them.
Dr. Mahler and Vanhoffen said
this party was merely the vanguard
of 6,000 to 7,000 others in America
who are coming to Russia as soon as
arrangements can be completed. Of
this contigent, each person put. up
$300 or more to cover the expenaet
of the trip and had money to
spend enroute. In Riga the travelers
all stayed at the best hotels and pur
chasd a great deal of stuff here in
cluding boots, some clothing, and
great quantities of seed grain which
the workers hope soon to plant in
Siberia.
Each member signed "p to remain
in Russia two years and if he is dis
satisfied at the end of that time, he
may return to America with all ex
pense paid and in addition receive a
certain allowance for his labor.
In a statement given out here by
Vanhoffen it was set forth that the
plan is to strike directly at the heart
of . Russia'.: :ndustria" problem, the
lack of skilled woikei and machin
ery, by importing !;.-!. direct from
the United State: , 'i 'rv are to oper
ate coal nunes in Uni Kutnets Basin
and the. Nadejdnski steel plant in
the Ural Moup' ins region.
The contengem, was made up of
Russians, Finns Czecholovaks, Ger
mans, Scandinavians, Hungarians,
Jews and Irish, all of whom have
lived in the United States sevral
years several native born American
from various parts of the country,
baby brought by its father and moth-
There was one three months' old
er.
The party had clothing for sever
al years and four car loads of Amer
ican food which, with the garden
truck when it was planned to plant
at once, will last more than a year. .

enlarging their knowledge of their

No other public institution oilers
so fitting an opportunity for a public
snirited citizen to help his neighbors
and win their approval and affection.
It is a ereat rrt of our education

fact quicklv h the best substitute
for such know!. :ge. We need a hd-

better chance for selfeducation. We
need it to give thoughts and inspira

those who in the schoolroom or pul
pit, on the rostrum, or with the' pen
