The lanmual address to the graduatIng dase oí the Dexter High School was (leiivcicd ly Hou. H. W. Newkh-k. and the followiug brief synopis is taken fronn tlie Dexter Leader : Mr. Xe-vvkirk coani)ared tlie human mind to ,the uahewn bloek oí marble ■which by the hand of the soulptor beeoines a beautiful statue. The sculptor works to a plam, very carefully luid understandingly, untU at last he vt.inds befo-re Itlie be:uiti;ul object of his creation - triumphant. So it is -ft-ith the teacher laboring wit H the human miad as it comes crude froin the quarry of the Divine Creator. "Unlike Ithe sculptor, the ïir.st bLow of his mallet must be as dclbate as ithe last. By Blow and careful work he briaigs forth the Sahioiar. The work ol the sculptor must meet the eye of the oritic. So, too, Biust the sehölar step íortli falto the world and stand or fall upon hls own merit. As tlie class ot '94 staawls in the ! door that inarks Uie end and the eommencoment, Iioav wfll iortune deal Txith them ? If young men, he iniuht pokit tliem to politics, the military, the medical professkwi ithe pulpit, etc. As la dies, wliat adrice should he giveintliem ? If they deeired to reniaiu, witliiii fche home cii-cle, there was nothifflg to say. But if they go out inito tlie world, wbat then ? It is lut a íew years since co-education began, and of this Mr. klrk spoke in ternis of such noerai praise that nO one couLd lor a moment ctoubt iiis hearty interest in lts welfare. With one exception he could adviige tïwse youmg ladies to take up tJie same liu.es as yowag men, -who by Uieir voluntary absence from the class, admit the superior eauergy and intellect of Dexter's yoirng ladies- that exception is tne paUtical field. However man inay plan and man may cariy out, but tlie time has come when men o to their Tv-ivs for counsel. In tlie tsolution many of the great probleins of the day have miscrably failed-IOT exaanple the liquor questkm. We live to-day in a country of paralyzed industries, of smokless cnimneys ; a country th.at jias men in w. lialls oi lcsblation that should bc in prison. Henee he might well aay fchat all roads were opn to success. Mr. Newkirk clo.-cd his remarles ■svitli au eloquent peroration that appeáúted strongly to everyone present. The adarces was a very able one, wU oalculated to awakee libera and progressive thouglit.
