Two Promising Young Lady
Graduates.
Saccalaurate Sermon.   Program.
Tbe closing exercises of the school
year mark epochs in the lives of a large
number of young people all over
America, Success, after almost insurmountable obstacles, has at last been
attained, and those now weary with
years of study, will find a time for relaxation and rest before taking up
tbeir life work, Some will continue
until they have a realization of what
higher education means; others will
consider the high school education a
'suitable foundation and will build
thereon.
, Though tbe class of 1902 consists of
but two young ladies, Misses Lena
Dunwoodie and Edith Wolsey, Supt.
Philip A. Bennet is of the opinion
that tbe class is an exceptionally
strong one, and they have developed
their musical talent along with their
school work, being excellent pianists,
and under Miss Bingham's instructions Miss Dunwoodie has well developed her natturally excellent
soprano voice.

The baccalaurate sermon will be delivered at tbe opera house Sunday
eyening by Rev. J, W, Hathaway, to
Iffbieh all are invited.
It may be well la this connection to
briefly review the school matters for
the past three years. Supt. Bennett
came here three years ago, and while
he has had many obstacles to overcome, he has, by bis untiring effort,
placed the schools on a better footing
than ever before. During this three
years the school building burned and
the schools occupied twelve different
buildings scattered over the city, and
of the twenty-one different teachers
employed during this time, but two
had had experience in teaching in
graded schools. The attendance at
the high school has greatly Increased,
and the tuition amounted tb over $100
a year. This increase in attendance
has necessitated a third teacher in the
high school. Mr. Bennett has taken
great interest iu the appeareuce of
the school grounds which are now in
fine condition. The schools were this
year placed on the approved list of
the Normal system. Much regret has
been expressed that Mr. Bennett Is to
leave us this year, but he goes feeling
that he nas done his duty and tbat the
great majority of these most interested in the schools are well satisfied
with his efforts.

East Side  Ball   Boys   Wear the
Crape.
The business men's ball game was
played Wednesday, and a large number
of people witnessed the game. The
Dover band,—which, by-the- way, is
an organization we are proud of,—
cirae down and led the procession to
tbe grounds. Colors were flying and
much enthusiasm was manifested*
Now Brother Canfleld will go on and
give the "reds" a column telling of
of the wonderful feats of the west side
players, but we suffice to leave tbe
matter oyer Until next year to do our
crowing, and with difficulty muster
enough courage to say that the result
was greatly in favor of the west side,
the score standing thirty to ten in
their favor.
Sunday Excursion to Crystal

Thanks to Commissioner Aldrich,
we have the complete list of successful
applicants wbo wrote on the state ex*
amination. To these we would say,
don't be satisfied to stop here. Enter
high school and graduate. Then enter college and graduate, but keep in
mind at all times that this higher education should not incapacitate you
for the performance of the menial
duties of life. Better not have an
education than haye one which makes
a boy feel tbat it is a disgrace to hold,
the plow handles, or raises a girl above
tbe dishpan.

Consumption, the Most Dangerous
Communicable Disease.
At tbe meeting of tbe National Conference of Charities and Correction in
Detroit, June 2d, 1902, Dr. Baker, secretary of the State Board of Health
said: "Hot one of the common,
so-called 'contagious' diseases is
usually contracted by simple contact
with the unbroken surface bf a human
body with the surface of 'an infected
human body. Therefore the term
'contagious,' implying as it does the
spread of diseases by contact, should
be obsolete. A much better term is
tbe singie word, 'communicable.'
"Of all communicable diseases consumption (pulmonary tuberculosis) is
now the most dangerous. More people
contract that disease than any other.
Therefore anything, any statement, or
any influence whiclr belittles the importance, of restricting the spread Df
consumption, does damage in the most
vital point to the interests of the
public health and safety. '
"Improper housing and improper
feeding of the poor are important'eyite
to be done away with, because they
lead to discomfort and lowered vitality, and tend to spread disease.. But
if tbe germs of tuberculosis were*gen-
erally restricted, any .amount *-df
lowered vitality, because -of rmpeper
food,.would not cause a single case of
consumption.
"The essentials for the restriction
of consumption are .* First, the jgeti-
eral recognition of the truth Uhat consumption is the most dangerous com"
munfcable disease. Knowledge < of
that'fact is the power without which:
consumption cannot be restricted. 3-6
is lack of action because of ignorance
of tbis great truth—that consumption
is spread from infected persons—.that
kills off the improperly fed poor, Mt
is ignorance of that great truth thas
kills off the. rich by tubercular„disease«
in spite of proper housing and pr-apef*
feeding.  •
"It is the slow but gradual gaining
of that precious knowledge by, the
common people, and action governed
by that knowledge, that is reducing;
the mortality from consumption, as i£
is being reduced in Mictigan.   „
"In order to be most- usefuj to 'tlie
public, it is essential that this important knowledge shall be gained 'bf
and shall govern the action of -fwesr '
coughing consumptive wbo «stfrerwfsss
is a constant source of danger. There;
fore the consumptive should >fe«
promptly put in possession of .fcfeefc
knowledge. This first essential 'Cijra-
not be fulfilled by the public -unless •
every case of well-developefi -consutn-
tion shall be reported te the health
officer. Every case reported should-be
promptly informed how to *ayoifi *re-
iufectun of the'patient and spr-aaUkyj
tbe disease."
