Two hundred and one Junior high school students were last evening presented diplomas of graduation at the half-year commencement exercise held In the Washington, Franklin, and McKinley Junior high schools.

The Rev. George W. Lester was the commencement speaker at the McKinley school, having aa his subject The True Value of an Education." Seventy-two McKinley Junior high school students received diplomas. In addition to the talk of the Rer. Mri Iester, the followlnf pro-gram was given; Orchestra "Caliph of Bagdad:" addreaa of welcome by' olasa president, Vincent Hartnett; vocal solo, Muriel Larson; violin trio, Ruby Ray, Ruth Davis, Muriel Larson; presentation of diplomas by Principal H.

C. Kll-burn; class song, written by Jeanne Erlanda.i True Value of Rducsuion. Following ia the addreaa of the Rev. Mr, Lester: "The term education In it's broadest sense can not be confined to the curricula of schools, colleges or When students receive their diplomas, eapeciatly from schools of higher learning, we are prone to say that thoae studenta have finished their education, but in the broad sense we never finish our education. Life, with its multitudi nous variety of experiences, ever proves to be a vschool in which we are always learning some new lea-son.

There are leaaona that can not be learned until we reach certain periods of life. Touth and middle age both have their, particular lessons for us snd even old age with its experiences presents lessons which the other periods did not possess. However, this evening, we are thinking of education, especially, as relates itself to the schools. What Is the true value of such an education? "The true value of an education Is to enable the individual to take care of himself in life. Young peo ple, when your teachers are working with you to enable you to get your arithmetic, your grammar, your geo graphy, your spelling, do yourj, Dest in mastering me lessons: was- terlng the lesson now will prove an asset In later years.

Every one. who acquainted with bees and the mak ing; of honey knows nomethlnf about the drones that live from the efforts the bees that are active. A great many people have the notion that they secure an education it will enable them to live a drone life. They believe that an education will provide thenr with the ability to gain a livelihood by living off the energies of other people. Any young person who takes that attitude toward education is certainly misun derstanding the vslue, the true value- of education.

Every person should aim to train himself to take care of his own needs, to be Independent of others, to be active, to be a creator rather than a drone. Don't be a drone always scheming how to live from the labors and toll of others but be Independent snd self supporting. Writ Thetr Names in nistory. "The pa gee of history are Covered with the names of people who utilised their 'education, however limited or extensive, toward the end of becoming independent. The drones life are never happy nor accomplished, their namea are soon forgotten-and their placea remembered no more.

So young people, remem- ber, when you master a lesson you have added to yourself the strength which you will need, to live the Independent snd happy life. When ever you fool your teacher by cheating your recitations or examinations don't forget that in reality you have cheated no one but yourself, snd in the end you are. the person fooled and not the teacher. "Secondly, the true value of an education is to enable the individual 'to reach the highest place of self Too many of us look upon our 'lives as playthings. We must realize that life ia not a play-thing but a trust given to us.

in which there are great possibilities development, and we can only ar rive at the greatest satisfaction to ourselves by bringing to a realization our possibilities. "Life la not something that we are to fritter away In. careless living but God has given us a life. He bss entrusted to us our lives and are to take them, train and de velop them from the crude into the polished, from the ugly Into the beautiful, from ne simple into the sublime. Ah education, no matter how technical it may be, ia not a real education unless it aids us to this very thing.

We are all dia monds in the rough and the true value of sn education- is found in its power to bring out the real luster strength snd beauty of character. Service Is Best Thing. "Thirdly, the true value of an education Is not to make us superior but rather of great service to others. waa Sir Isaac Newton who said. do not knoV how I may appear the world, but to myself I seem only like a boy playing upon the seashore, and now and then finding pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of undiscovered truth lies before me." Kepler, the great astronomer who gave so much to the field of astronomy, said.

"I but think God's thoughts after Indeed every great man been humble-. The value of an education is not to make us superior to others but to be abla to render greater service to our day and age What good is knowledge If we it onty for ourselves. George Eliot speaks for Antonio- Stradivari these words. "When any master "holds twixV-hand and chin a violin mine, he will be glad that Stradl- ilts in to at or to as F. J.

Social affairg for the week at the Country club will terminate with a chb dinner-dance tomorrow evening, the first party to be put on by the new committee on entertainment, of which Bernard Miller is the chairman. Dutch treat parties sf em to be the order of the evening, aa Indicated by the reservations made so far. varying somewhat the usual style of the Saturday night dances, which are generally preceded by a number of large and smaller private dinners.
