But while so many failures have been caused by the lack of self-knowledge, a man's shortcom- ings will show him what he is and what he can do. and he will thereby learn what im- provements he will have to make in order to become what he ought to be, or what he would like to be. \Ve agree with (ioethe when he says that f‘self—knowledge is best learned. not by contemplation but by ac- tion." No matter how great a man thinks his abilities are, it is only thru a test that he will learn his actual worth, and the more he attempts to do; the more he strives_to do his duty, the sooner he.w.ill discover what stuff he is made of. Every man has his mission to perform, but all/men are not destined to accomplish the same deeds. Ebr'ia'sasome men possess greater talents than others, and as the tal- ents of some men are more fully developed than those of others. so oneeanan may be capable of accomplishing such deeds as would be utterly impossible‘for another. Each individual should be content to per,- form that for which he is qualifie(l.- Even as the tools which’the laborer employes in fulfilling his task must be used in their proper places in order to be of any value. so also the man. The farmer would not use his reaper to sow his seed with nor would he use his seeder to harvest his crop: the carpenter would not use'his saw to drive nails with nor would he attempt to cut his building material with his hammer. Such undertakings would seem laughable and no sane man would permit such an idea to enter his mind. but he would employ each device in its respective place. The same is also true of the man in his larger relations. Thus a cobbler should not attempt to rule a municipality for it is not probable that a man in his position would be capable of managing the affairs of a municipality and of advising his fellow-citizens, who may be far superior to him. There is no reason to believe that even the most successful and most thrifty tiller of the soil could perform the duties of a professor for this requires a different talent and a special training. The man who is a genius in writing fairy tales for entertaining. children should not discontinue this work and make a vain attempt to be a philosopher if he is not gifted as such. But every man when he has learned to know himself,‘ when he has found the position for which he is qualified and where he can do the most good for himself and for his fellow-citizens, he should remain steadfast and true to his calling and devote all his energy to his work in order that he may accomplish as much as possible. Even tho it is of the greatest importance that we should know ourselves before we try to know others, nevertheless we have a disposition to look only at our fellow-be— ings and forget all about ourselves. The faults of others lie open before our eyes. while we are blind to our own follies, or we may sometimes consider others capable, of accomplishing even the greatest deeds while we may have so little confidence in ' our own abilities that we consider ourselves unworthy of attempting‘even the most in— significant task. It is not well that we should consider ourselves too unworthy, but nevertheless it is far better that “our own opinion of ourselves should be lower than that formed by others." for, as Thomas a Kempis says, “\Ve have a better chance at our imperfections." He even says that “to have a low opinion of our own merits and to think highly of others, is an evidence of wisdom." and this comes into close har- mony with the words of Socrates when he said that he was wise because he knew not and knew that he knew not. Shakespeare says that “of all knowledge the wise and good seek most to know them— selves." and in a similar tone the English poet Francis Quarles says: “The height of Show less

Entered at the Post Office of Minneapolis. Minn. as second class mail matter COMMENCEMENT. The commencement for 1908 was held on the evening of May 7. It will be remem- bered as the most pleasant event of the school year. \\’ith‘ the chapel beautifully decorated and filled to its limits by. an ap- preciative audience, it was indeed inspiring and uplifting to be present. The large audience followed with undivided attention the graduation exercises consisting of ad- dresses, songs and music. - The first address was given by Prof. H. A. L'rseth. He spoke on. “The Gospel of Living." In most Of our schools the gospel of work is overpreached, while the gospel of living is ignored. This mistake has been made before. Langland in the 14th cent- ury and. Carlyle in the 18th century advo- cated work as the cure Of human frailties and follies. Both of these had their con~ temporaries who pointed to the more gen- uine cure, the gospel of life. In our day when the gospel of the strenuous life ap- peals with such great force to our educa— tional institutions as well as to the people at large. we wish to call attention to that work is not the whole of education. It is a part a of it and a very important part. While we do not wish to minimize the value of work —and our carriculum proves the Opposite —we emphasize that the essential part of education is the development of personality. The young man should learn to live. The person who has the power to lead and guide and lift his fellowman is an educated per- son in whatever station you find him and whatever school he has attended. Educa- tion should make a man out of a man; We do not want men Of.knowledge,merely;r we labor that men might learn to live. V Mr. Louis T. Hanson, one of the grad- uates, spoke in the Norwegian on “Choos- ing a Vocation.” v .. -. , . The validictory was delivered by Mr. George S. Gunderson. , . _ . ‘ The diplomas were presented by presi- dent Sven Oftedal. In speaking to the class he took as his text, “NO man having laid his hand to the plow, and lookingback, is fit for the kingdom Of God.” I It is necessary to have an aim in life and, having fixed our eyes upon it, to pursue- the course laid out for us without wavering or looking back. Even when our vocation shall bring us into hardships and struggle,. if we realize that our work is laid out for us by God, let us not flinch from the task. The only way of being sure of reaching the- right goal of life, whatever our calling may be. is to keep our eyes on the cross of Christ. The following received diplomas con-r. ferring the degree Of Bachelor of Arts: John, E. Blegen, George S. Gunderson. Louis T. Hanson, H. Oscar Hanson, Ar- thur L. Markve. Seventeen students reecived certificates of graduation from the preparatory depart- ment. ' Haarklou's "Yarde." rendered by the Glee Club, piano solos by Julius K. Johnson and a vocal solo. “The Pilgrims Song” by Mr. D. F. Colville, made up the musical part of the program. Show less

This thought. tho not always ex- pressed in these exact words has often been impreSsed upon our minds during these years we have been here. and of all we have learned and for which we feel grateful to our Alma Mater. the advice given us in these two words shall always havelthe first place in our minds. ,Esteemed Professors, the happy days which we have spent together with you as college students are now at an end. We could wish that they might go on. but that cannot be. \Ve have passed many hours together with you which have been of the greatest advantage to us. Day after day for four long years you have labored out helping us to overcome our difficulties. Even tho we have at times not done our duty as students. you have had forbearance with us. and when we have been down— hearted you have urged us on and encour- aged us in our pursuits. In behalf of the class of 1008 I wish to express our sincere thanks to you for your faithful and untir— ing efforts. Mere words do not suffice to express our gratitude towards you. but we hope to support our words with deeds. Dear Classmates. the time has come when we must part. \\'e have spent many joyful days together in our classroom dur- ing these years. but now our schoolboy days are a thing of the past. - As classmates we have worked on side by side in a common pursuit. helping each other to overcome our difficulties: we have rejoiced with each other‘ in gladness. we have sympathised with each other in time of grief: the burdens of one have been a care to all of us. But now we must go out into the world and face the various problems of life. now we must fight our battles individually. And at all times. when we have set out on the voyage of life. wherever we may be. and whatever we may undertake to do. let us always bear in mind our watchword: “gnothi seavton." Dear classmates. I now bid you farewell; (iod knows when we shall meet again. Ladies and Gentlemen, as I have had the honor of addressing you this evening as the representative of the graduating class of 1008. I wish. in behalf of the class. to thank you for the interest you always have shown us. I thank you for your presence this evening and for your kind and undivided attention. THE EVIL OF CHILD LABOR. (Continuefl from last Issue.) Child labor has not one redeeming feature upon which it can plead for existence. The captains of industry cry that it is necessary for the interest of commerce. If this new god. Commerce. must live upon the lives of children. let it be scattered to the four winds of the earth. Let civilization perish! Let the walls of the city crumble! Let the ancient deserts return. Whether a few sordid captains of in- dustry make profit or not is a matter of no con- sequence to mankind: the sun shone, the stars gleamed and the. earth bore its harvests ages before they came and will continue to do so countless ages after they are gone. And those who are sincerely anxious about the constitu— tion and the rights and dignities of state must remember the rights and dignities of the fu- ture of our Nation. \Ve have not any right to Show less
