An economic vafte worth many times the original cost of education was pointed out by Charles W. Whitman, of Seymour, principal speaker at the commencement exercises for the Wayne township grade schools held at the high school building Thursday night. Parents were admonished by the speaker to realize the worth of their child, to urge them to further education which in the end would be reflected in their happiness, efficiency and success. Forty-four pupiLs of the township received their diplomas from County Superintendent C. O. Williams'. This being one of the largest classes -ever graduated from the Wayne township schools. In presenting the diplomas Mr. Williams pointed out ihe great strides that had been made during the past 10 years in schools and facilities in the township. Four new school houses have been erected in order to care for the increased number of students. The school at Spring Grove was pointed to as being the best district school in the United States, being so regarded by the federal education authorities. Urges Education. Mr. Whitman in his address "The Call of the Twentieth Century" gave many concrete examples of the worth of education. He urged every student to continue to study by entering hgh school anl college if possible. He stated that a college graduate's chance for success was 300 times greater than that of a person who fails to enter high school. "Our boys and girls are not S10 boys and girls, . but their value must be measured in the sum of $10,000," he stated. "The township is greatly responsible fpr this in the education furnished them." Mr. Whitman praised the efficiency of the Wayne township and county schools, and expressed his confidence in the ability of those in charge of the educational work here. Artistic Arrangements. The 44 children were grouped on the stage, in an artistic manner, the girl3 being dressed in white with a red carnation gracing each; the boys wore dark suits with a white carnation on their coats.

' With this fact in view, the value of the Richmond Symphony orchestra to the city can readily be estimated, and its future development should be supported by all public spirited citizens.
