CLASS OF THIRTY-ONE HECEOTK THEIR DIPLOMAS. » | Ciraduating Kxeroises Held Wedi day Morning; in Normal Hall Were Well Attended. The twelfth annual graduating ercises of the Plattsibungh State Norfial and Training Sdhool. were held WedpjBS day 'morning, a class of thirty-one ceiving diplomas. Normal Hall.wh the exercises were held, were fil with the friends of the graduates ^ had the ple*asure of listening to excellent program. On the platf< were members of the faculty, memf of the Local Board and prominj friends of the school. The /program was oipened Iby Cli orchestra which played the Ideal: Overture by Brooks. Prayer was offered by the Rev. iW. S. Peek, graduating class tihen marched i: the hall, the orchestra playing march, Across the Continent :;• Mr. Ernest Bentlley Sangeant was tie first sipeaken-, the subject oi his oration ibeing \Getting Into Ruts.\ Mr. Sar- geant's remarks were characterized by sound, common sense, and were de- livered with earnestness. He empiha-; sized the danger of a teacher getting into a rut, doing things the easy way, and urged all to avoid this. Miss Molly Ethelyn Seabury read an ;say on \The 'Dignity of 'Labor.\ Miss Seabury treated her chosen theme in a convincing manner, and compared the vho lived without working to animials who live without the neces- sity for exertion. \The American Woman's Sphere pf Activity\ was the subject of an inter- esting and able essay by Miss Wine- fride Elizabeth O'Mara. Miss O'Mara discussed the causes that have led to the increase in the number of self- supporting women, and held that too often the home duties were neglected. This, the speaker stated, 'Was thie American woman's propej sphere after all, and should not be neglected. The oration, \The Ideal,\ by Mr. John Lowra Rea, was a remarkable pdece of work. Mr. Rea has the facul- ty of expressing his thoughts m the most appropriate phrases. The legend or story which he wove into the argu- ment of his oration was well written, equalling in its beautiful simplicity of expression, soirue of the prose tales of Eugene Field. A gavotte, \Beau Brummeia,\ waa then rendered 'by the orchestra- Miss Mary Fillmore Warley read an essay on 'Useful Nuisances.\ In ex- plaining the apparent paradox in the title, Miss Worley showed that miany things, seemingly of no use or harm- ful, are in realty beneficial. \Discipline* 'Element' *rf Success\ was tine subject of the ora&oa by Mr. Fred Homer Rea. Mr. East handled his subject in an aible and eloquent manner, showing clearly the truth of the statement 'He touched briefly u.pon the attention which young men should pay to -ffeeir civic duties. Miss Julia Chatterton Mason read an essay on \Tfhe Optimism of Youth.\ Misa Mason treated her subject in an (aible manner, and her essay was char- acterized by keen insight andi power of expression. The oration, \Struggling Up from the Depths,\ by Mr. James Augustus Wilson, was one of exceptional inter- est. Mr. Wilson spoke on the devel- opment of the negro race in this coun- try, and is well qualified to disouss the subject from personal experience. He told of the work done for the race by Booker T. Washington, and the educator's name was greeted with ap- plause. It is understood that it is Mr. Wilson's intention to teach his race in the South, and will make the 'betterment of their condition his life work. Another orchesttral number, Selec- tions from Floradora was given, after which Principal G. K. Hawkins ad- dressed the class briefly, making a few remarks conignatuiatory in their na- ture. He was followed by (Hon. John B. Riley, president of the Local Board, who very gracefully addressed the class and introduced Dr. Shertoan Wil- liams, of the State Department of Pub- lic Instruction. Dr. Williams remarks were 'brief and to the point. He called attention to the coal strike, which he stated is costing this country one million dol- lars per day. The cause is a misun- derstanding between the- employers and the miners; neither party knows the other. It is the orovince of the school, the public school, to remove this misunderstanding. It is the duty of the teachers to see that this is brought about. Dr. Williams then congratulated the class and presented the diplomas, which were received by the class president, J. Lowra Rea. The list of graduates was published in yesterday's issue. The following will receive a certificate of proficiency in gymnasium work: Miss Edith Madige Emery, Miss Albina M. Kelle- her, Miss Margie Grace Meiklejohn, Mr. Ernest Bentley Sargeant, Miss Mollie Ethelyn Seabury, Miss Mary Thompson, Miss Maude Elizabeth Tab- beri-ah. POSITIONS SECURED. A number of the graduates have al- ready secured positions and in other cases negotiations are pending, but the engagements have not yet been closed. Miss EditllLEmery will teach ia Du- luth, Minru^Viiss Katharine S. Kear- ney has t>reoffer of a position at E3- : lenburgh, and Miss Albina M. Kelleher : will probably have a place in West- '< Chester county. The following posi- ' tions have been accepted: Miss Winne- ! fride E. O'Mara, Keeseville; Miss Mary i F. Worley, Keeseville; Miss Floy A. McKinney, Cambridge; Miss Frances R. Moore, Plattsburgh; Miss Theresa More, We*t Rupert, Vt.; Miss Molly I E. Seabury, Biallston; Miss Margiaret I E.

THE HOSPITAL ASSURED FOR THE SITE. Street-Work of Ereetion to Bej-in This Fall. Sister Kirby, Superior General of the Grey Nuns of Ottawa, and Sister Demars, Treasurer of the Order, re- turned to Ottawa Tuesday after hav- ing purchased a site for the long pro- jected hospital for this county. The land purchased is an eight acre plot, owned by Horn. Smith M.. Weed, Hon. C. E. Johnson and A. W. Emery, on the north side of Rugar street, just above Beekman. The consideration paid is $3,300, a very luw price for land of such a fine location, and shows that the owners were anxious to pro- mote so desirable an institution. L3 a hospital site the piace is an ideal one. The west side of the lot is a beautiful plateau where the build- ing will prdbabiy 'be erected. The it side is a meadow and a magnitu- cent grove of stately pines and oaks occupies the lower northern part—an excellent place for the convalescent to enjoy the pure air out of doors. Moreover, the place is located so as to be readily accessible from the city, and is spacious, and free from its. smoke and the noise of the streets. ) The nuns pay tear the land them- selves; the building they intend to put up by subscription, the work of which has already begun in a very hopeful manner. The work of erecting the building ill (begin as soon as funds, sufficient y warrant it, have been collected. The plans and size of the hospital are indefinite as yet, but it will be sub- stantial and plenty large enough to fill all likely requirements. Trained nurses among the nuns will have charge of the patients, and will be assisted by young women taken from the neighborhood. The hospital will ibe for the people of the county, regardless of condition, sex or religion. No one will be turn- ed away for inability to pay for treat- ment, blut the hospital is expected t o be Hargely self-supporting 1 . All dis- eases wihich are not concageous will be treated. The best doctors will be :ai • ployed, and patients iwill receive such care as can be had at such an institu- tion. A fiospiital of this kind will be a boon to Clinton county, and will in the true sense of the phrase, fill a long- felt want, and deserves the fullest srupport of the (people. GENERAL COUNTY NEWS.
