COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS

when passions are stirred. It is more
difficult when the band ceases to play
—when death comes without glory.
‘‘In the rebuilding of the temple of
civilization we must educate for the
making of material wealth to take the
place of the third of the wealth of the
world that has been destroyed. Wle
must so shape things that the world
may be governed. The remedy is in
people.
‘Vvit.' ... make material wealth
that the world may be free—free from
poverty and misei*y. W'e are today
poorer than before the war. We can’t
get sugar. We can’t get other things.
I believe in the inalienable right to
have a home. No country has yet
had enough money to educate enough
physicians to free the world from dis-
ease and misery, or enough money to
build bridges to give freedom from
geographical boundaries, to build
enough churches and schools to train
and educate all the people. We are
facing the necessity of creating more
material wealth that we may do these
things.
Must Learn to Govern Properly
“The world must be governed. The
masses of the people must be trained
and educated. They must be trained
to reason with an open mind. They
must have the power of self-guidance.
Government by democracy is by prin-

fication when they cannot read ?
“To meet the problems of rebuild-
ing there should be opportunity foi
high school education everywhere.
Colleges and universities should be
better endowed.”
Defining the purposes of education,
Claxton said that health, knowledge,
skill, judgment, appreciation and will
were the aims that should be accom-
plished.
Definition of Education.
“Health instruction, health habits
and physical training were enumegk
of acquaintanceship with the forces
of nature, the facts of history, tl|
principles^ and application of these
facts. ThevPnly leisure class in Amer-
ica is that class commonly known as
tramps. There should be training in
skill with hands. No one wants to die
a pauper after having lived a para-
site. Good judgment, not rash ac-
tion-acting quickly and thinking aft-
erwards, is what is needed. Apprecia-
tion is needed of the things of life—
of the fine arts and principles of con-
duct.
A Life Purpose Essential.
“Lastly, education should provide
for a strong purpose. ‘ When this is
not in education it is dead. It mat-
ters not how much one knows if he
cannot use it and has no purpose. Ed-
ucation must inspire in pupils a. pur-
pose. There must be a desire for a
life of service. There is no g. eatness
except through purpose.”
The speaker told the parables of
EDWIN MARKHAM
TO LECTURE HER!
Famous American Poet Will Ala t
Read From His Own Poems
On next Friday evening, June 18
the students of the summer school [
will have the privilege of hearing Ed.
win Markham, the well-known poet
in a program, including his phiioso
phy and humor and readings from his
poems.
Since the publication of “The Mar
With the Hoe,” more than’ twentj
years- ago, which first attracted tin
attention of the literary world to Ed-
win Markham, his name has been al
most a household word among those
who know and love good literature
He is now generally conceded to be
the leading figure among Americar
poets. Indeed, now that William Dear
Howells has passed on, Mr. Harkhair
may be called the dean of Americar
men of letters. The secret of his pop
ularity lies not only in the fact of hit
social vision, but in the appeal he
makes to the elemental emotions. Ir
this respect he has been compared t
Longfellow, whom he somewhat re
sembles in appearance. It is not to
much to say that he is the best knownj
and best loved of American poets. j
Mr. Markham has already lectured
before some of the leading colleges in
the state, and everywhere has de-
lighted his audiences. Dr. Armstrong
of Baylor University writes: “Youj
can commend him unstintedly. He
has been marvelously successful.^
everyone is charmed with him.” j
The subject on which Mr. Markham
is to lecture here, “Glintings Gravel
and Gay,” will give the audience arj
opportunity to become acquainted
with his simple, lovable personality
and his genial sense of humor. Hd
will also give readings from his own
poems, and after the lecture the stu-f
dents will have the opportunity oft
meeting him personally. j
We feel sure that Mr. Markham Will:
be greeted by a large audience, since;
this is an opportunity that none can
afford to miss.

Miss Story is to be congratulated
on her ability as an instructor. Much
progress has been made in the ad-

HOMECOMING ADDRESS
Rare Treat to Hear Such a Distin-
guished Man as Dr. S. P. Brooks
%
ciple and not personality.
“One of the reasons for the delay1 the prodigal son, the woman with the
piece of silver, the lost sheep and the
on the peace treaty and the League of
Nations was because the United States
senate had no precedent for action.
In the present state of world plasticity
we must learn that precedents are not
necessary.
“Next July the North Carolina legis-
lature will ratify the suffrage amend-
ment, giving the women the right to
avote—that is if the Republican leaders
do not persuade New Hampshire to
ratify it before, in order to claim the
credit for the Republican party.
“Your first ballot as women voters
will be on the League of Nations and
the peace treaty, which the wise men
of the United States senate have not
beenable to agree upon. But that’s
not the biggest thing. There are also
other problems for which there are
no precedents.
Ignorance at the Ballot Box.
“Boys and girls who have left school
at 14 and 15 will not be able to solve
these problems wisely.
“Men cannot live by bread alone.
Pigs can live and grow fat and grunt-
ing in the sun. Man cannot, Man is
a political animal.
“Education of the people is the
greatest problem of statesmanship.
Educational opportunity should be
alike to all. The United States has
never had a common school educa-
tion. By the census of 1910 five and
a half million people'could not read
and write. Twenty-five per cent of
the men between the ages of 21 and
31 who entered the army of the United
States in the great world war could
not read and write.
Can’t Read Farm Bulletins.
“Sixty per cent of the cotton grow-
ers in the South are unable to read
feeding of the five thousand. “The
master said, ‘gather up the fragments
that none may be wasted!’ This is
the central principle of Christianity
that there may be no waste.
The Opportunity to Rebuild.
“Things will not be right in the
world until there is no waste, uri.it
there is no longer a forgotten man.
Democracy cannot live until there is
no lost waif, no important talent lost,
no ability wasted. Not until this will
the people be free.
“I congratulate you young women
for your opportunity. The old temple
of civilization has been wrecked. You.
have the opportunity to work on a
new temple of civilization—to improve
it; to make it a temple of God.
“I bring you the greetings of the
United States of America, the narjw,.
whom 1 have the honor to represent
this morning.”
At the conclusion of Dr. Claxton’s
address, Dr. Hardy, with Miss Ethel
Ridley Lanier, acting as faculty mar-
shal, conferred the Bachelor of Arts
degree upon the following: Misses
Bertha Armstrong, Gladys Barmore,
Janie Belle Baten, Jewel Burks, Clara
Carter, Sue Mae Carter, Ada Cates,
Genoa Cole, Mary Crain, Virginia Dil-
lon, Theresa Duff, Ida Mae Garner,

or, Belfa Redford, Gladys Roach, Ca-

and conferred the Bachelor of Letters
degree on Miss Arnette Watford.
V ESPER SERVICE
No form of service could have been
more fitting for a close of the dayj
than the vesper service held on the)
lawn Sunday evening. Truly, a more]
inspiring scene has not transpir
during the entire year than this de
votional.
The service, according to*time-hon-
ored custom, was a combination of1

purpose was to give to tWT former
Baylor daughters the privilege of tes-
tifying again in the religious service
which forms such an essential part in
the life of every true Baylor girl. Inri
Johnson, whose noble life has served
as an inspiration to all who have come
in contact with her, conducted the
service. Her subject, “God as Out
Guide,” was discussed in her own im-
pressive way. She stressed the neces-
sity of our having a pilot to si eer out
lives through the sea of life and the
importance of having God as tha
helmsman.
Following the talk by Miss Johnson
the service was opened for the testi

a graduate of the year 1879, and wh/
has been engaged in missionary worl
in Brazil the past forty yeas s, was om
of the first to respond. She explained
the character of work she and he,
worthy family are engaged in in th_,
great South American continent, antj
touched the hearts of her hearers i^
her appeal for more workers. Mr;
Sowell, daughter of Mrs. Bagby, ne.s{
spoke of her work in the great eoun
try of Argentina. She says that tha
Argentines frankly confess their un_
belief in the Catholic faith,' and th&t
the cynical attitude which they havft
assumed toward the prevailing reli
gion of their country is the chie^
barrier to the progress of Protestant
ism. Miss Saddlewhiie, from the

of the real need of preparing for sp

King dismissed the devotional with
prayer.
With the visit of Dr. S. P. Brooks,
president of Baylor University, to Bay-
lor College, the student body, out-of-
town • visitors and people of Belton
had a rare opportunity of hearing a
man of great personality. We wrere
fortunate in being able to secure Dr.
Brooks as one of the speakers for
(he Diamond Jubilee.
He told, in a very pleasing manner
of the greatness and the value of col-
lege training, making clear the rela-
tion of motherhood and education.
His talk was very interesting and
helpful to all who heard him.
Following Dr. Brooks address, Mrs.
Townsend told, in her most charm-
ing way, the history of Baylor Col-
lege from the days of Independence to
the present time.

presidents of Baylor, as they sat on
STYLE SHOW GIVEN BY ROM
ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT
OF BAYLOR COLLEGE
Those who attended the style shoL
given by the girls of the Home Ec<j _
nomics Department under the dire
tion of Miss Story on Friday afte
noon at 5 o’clock, were delightful
entertained. In a review of the year,
work, Miss Story stated that at the b ,
ginning of the year seventy-five gi1 ,
were enrolled. Only a few dropp
out during the year. To show ho
much the girls had enjoyed and pro
ited by the year’s work, Miss Sto
read a few extracts from the notes

the stage, were introduced by Mrs.
Townsend. Their noble deeds, hard-
ships and efforts in behalf of Baylor
were revealed in such a way that they
will never be forgotten.
HOME ECONOMICS EXHIBIT
The exhibit of the cookery, sewing
and millinery departments of Home
Economics was one of the most at-
tractive and instructive features of the
Jubilee program for Saturday after-
noon.
Miss Pritchett Harrison had charge
of the display in the cookery depart-
ment, the gold, white, sponge, coffee
and pistachio cakes, the yeast breads,
and the canned peppers looked de-
licious and evidence careful work and
training. Especially attractive was the
salads which were on display. The
table which was set with a fruit cock-
tail also called forth words of praise.
The sewing and millinery display
was equally attractive, and demon-
strated the capability of the instruc-
tor, Miss Storey. The middy suits,
gingham dresses, organdies and silks
were carefully made and showed orig-
inality of design. A special feature of
the display were the rnaline and or-
gandy hats, many attractive hats be-
ing made out of scraps left from the
making of the dress.
Miss Storey and Miss Harrison are
to be congratulated on the high order
of excellence of the work which they
turn out and are to be Upraised for
their success during the year.

Through a mistake, a great number
of the Diamond Jubilee souvenir pro-
grammes were placed in the vice-
president’s office and not distributed.
Those desiring such a program may
receive one by writing to the registrar,
