AMBUE, (CRIN CIEE, Tel Valedictory Address Louise Bird And so we may be quite certain that the seed which Jane Addams has been sowing so patiently in the un- promising soil of a Chicago slum, will after a long time.” “come up Classmates, this is the last night of our High School life; but we must not think of it as the end of endeavor. It is rather the beginning, a true com- mencement of the life we are to give to the world. In the four years of our course here, we have sowed the first few seeds of effort, faint attempts, it is true, but still seeds that may quicken in the years to come. The inspiration to plant the very best of seeds must come from the lives of men and women like Miss Addams. We can not all do what she is doing at Hull-house, but we can carry with us, as we go, her message of helpfulness and cheer; and, as we part, we can have the determination in our own feeble way to do simply and well the little things nearest home.
