The closing exercises of the Boundary Street Graded School on Friday night were a fitting close to a very successful session. Newberry is proud of her school, and as usual on such occasions, standing room could hardly be obtained in the opera house on Friday night. The graduating class of 1902 was com posed of seven members, six of whom were young ladies, there being only one young man in the class. The exercises consisted of the reading of essays by the graduates, and an address by Dr. Jas. P. Kinard, of Winthrop College. The essayb were all good, and the young people reflected credit upo themselveE and the trainirg which 74 have re ceived. But a medal had been offered tc that member of the class who should write the best essay, and a decision wa4 necessitated. This medal was awarded by the committee to Miss Pauline Gilder. The presentation was made in a happy talk by Hon. E. M. Rucker, of Anderson, The following are the members of the class, with their subjects: Miss Dora Mann, "Our Martyred President." Miss Martha Johnstone, "What Worli Is." Miss Pauline Gilder, "The Climb ol Life." Tench Boozer, "Modern University." Miss Pearl Langford, "One Touch o: Nature Makes the Whole World Kin." Miss Mamie Parks, "Thoughts on the Poets Miss Eula Teague, "Timrod" The address by. Dr Kinard was a schol arly effort, containing excellent advice tc the class and food for thought. The foliowing is a synopsis of THU ADDRESS. Dr. Kinard, in beginning his address expressed pleasure at being in Newberry his old home, saying that for one wh< had been away for a long time it wa. good to come home, to the place where his mother and father lived, to look int< the faces of those whom he loved and who loved him It had been fifteer years. since he had taught in the old New berry male academy, and thirty years since he had gone to school with the present superintendent of the city schools, But he wanted to say to the graduating class, that when a traveller along the proverbially rongh road of life has reach ed the half-way milestone-it is a pleasure to him to pause for a moment, and looking back on those who are com ing after, to shout to them a message o1 C cheer to tell them of the bright fields be. yond; and warn them, perhaps, of the rough places over which his stumbling feet have trod; or he may point out tc them a path over which a steadier fool - than his has passed, a path still radiant with the lustre of him who pressed it. It was his pleasure tonight to tell them *of a traveller who passed along this road a thousand years ago His name was Alfred, to wphich his loving countrymen have added the title of ' Great" His -path was a royal one in both uses of the word royal, literal and metaphorical, for *- during his life he reigned over his peop'e, and for a thousand years since he has reignd in their hearts. He told of Al. fred's struggels with the Danes, who some time before his coronation had be gun their yearly descent upon England, and for thirt y years he was engaged al most constantly in fighting the battles of his country. He was the one man dur ing that time who stood between England and heathendom; but when Alfred died Anglo-Saxon supremacy was assured. But he did more than free his country from the Daines. During this struggle for their existence the laws of the land had been forgotten, the churches had been neglected, and the monasteries had been deserted. Priests had turned sol diers, and what little learning had exist ed before was now completely decayed. Here then was Alfred's work: to restore the laws-to re-instate relhgion, and to provide for the education of his people. He compiled a code of laws, and upon this code established a system for the ad ministration of justice that has lived till today as an essential and fundamental part of English jurisprudence. He built new~ churches and repaired the old ones; he invited learned monks and priests fra m other countries to come into England and teach his people. In the cause of educa tion he was ahead, even of our time, for he did all that he could to establish uni versal educatio~n. He becomes our first English scholar. - What do we learn from a life like his? Tuat we are to join the army and become great soldiers? He hoped not. There do e come times in the life of men and na tions when they must fight, and if this should come to us, then ought we to fight? But he wanted it to be remembered that Alfred was not a soldier by choice. His battles were fought not for himself, bbt for his country. His greatness, like the greatness of Washington, consisted not in brilliant displays of genius, but in the faithful discharge of the duty that lay nearest to hand. And here is the lesson for you and me. There was no glory in itself in' fighting the Danes; they were like pestiferous flies that must be beaten off time and again, and you must learn thait you shali succeed or fail according as you have heart or lack it for the thousand and one little annoyances of life that need to be overcome. The Danes are not all dead yet! The world is full of them today-threatening 3 ou on all sides-mind and heart and body As for your body-remember that it is God's temple; let no evil pollute it. The full duty of man finds its best oppor .unity of accomplishment with a sound mind in a sound body. And there are Danes threatening your mind and heart, insidious evils that rob you of the purity of your minds before you are aware of it. He wanted to name only one; the evil in b.)oks. The best books in the world are few in number and could be bought by every boy and girl in the audience tonight, and what is better, could be read in the time usually given to literature that is ephemeral and worthless. There was another kind of evil that he must warn them against, the feeling that they ha I completed their education with a school or a college course. Alfred was a student all his life, not only of books, but of men and things-and so must ev ery one be who would be truly educated. This thing we call education is not a knowledge of a few text-books-nor in deed of many It is a drawing out of a man the best that is in him. It is a train ing that begins in the cradle and ends when life ends. It is the seizing and using of every means of acquiring wis dom. We may also learn something from Al fred the Christian, who, when he came to re-establish law and religion in Wessex, held to all that was good in the old law and religion of his people. I n the unrest of today there is a great reaching out after new things. It is too often true that young men and young women feel that the religion of their fath- rs and mothers needs to be modified somewhat, that it is too old fashioned to look well; or they think that this thing you call religion does very well for. old women and chil dren, but for us-we want a little stronger stuff than that Listen! If the old fash ioned belief.in God, and a firm faith in his mercy and providence, will help you and me to live the kind of life that it helped Alfred to live, then we need all of it that we can get. There are many men and women who would give a great deal to stand where you.stand tonight, with youth and health and a good conscience, before the felters of custom and evil habit have fastened upon you To you now, anything in reason is possible. Only remember this: If you are to accomplish anything worth doing you must go about it at once. It is possible for a man to think about what he is going to do till the time for action is passed. The most successful life, the life that comes nearer to doing what a life ought to do is the one in which there is a balance of intellect and activity, and if you are goir.g to do anything you must do it at once If you are to make the best of your life you must think as well as work He believed we should all be better and saner if we spent a part of each day in solitary thought, in thinking about God and the universe, and in trying to -learn something about the strange being we call ourself. It is a fine thing for us that such a man as Alfred has live d When we are weary and heartsick at the selfishness and meanness of humanity-its lying, cheat ing, back biting and slanderous gossiping, when we are oppressed by all this, the 'f- of Alfred comes to us like a breath of - -air to a sick man, it revives us, it gives us new hope; we see that- there is possible for this poor, pitiful humanity to lose itself in others, to crush out all that is low and mean and degrading, and to show to the world a life in which all is patience and courage and love. If you should ever be so unfortunate as to be oppressed by that sickly sentimen tal mood that is always wondering if life is worth living, I c mmend you to Alfred to him who near the end of a well-spent life said, what I trust that you and I in like season may be able to~ say: "The while I have lived I have sought to live worthily." AWARDING OF DIPLOMAS. The awarding of the diplomas was made by Mr. Robt H Wejch. He sought to impress the fact that thei - education should be jutbeginning, and gave facts and figures to sustain his argument for a college course. His short addrcss. which was laden with thought, received the un divided attention of the large audience. All Ciana Can 0. t It.
