Progress In Industry Industry is human exertion employed nott merely in the making of prpducts tp be sold, but in both the development of wealth and the distri- bution of it. We grew into industry as a necessity. The necessity was born of law. Great Britain,s pro- hibition 0f the entry into this country of machinery, or models or specifications of it, threw the Pioneers on their own resources and 2Yankee ingenuity,, produced a unique group of inventors. In the early days onr acquisition of political independence gave us only the right to economic independence and not actually the thing itself. Our industrial leaders were dependent on investors over- seas for money. Financial independence came slowly and today our industry relies upon the man- ufacture of power. Pioneering has left an indelible impression on the American character. The dangers and hard- ships of the frontier gave us an unusually restless, mobile, and enterprising people. The process of settlement confirmed the excessive, intense individ- ' ualism of the group. American industry has steadily used power and machinery to raise the standard of living until vast amounts of goods and services formerly known as luxuries are now considered necessities. This ad- vancement has been relatively difficult since indus- try travels an uncharted course frequently getting mired but steadily continuing. Our effort to pio- neer through industry as our forefathers pioneered through the great country offers the best explana- tion for this progress. Previously work had to be organized around the machines, but today machinery may be organ- ized around the work. When handicraft developed into manufacturing, single purpose machinery was introduced first. ' Later, machines were devised to take the place of many hand operations. These quickly led to machines that did more than one complete operation. Today they may be labor- savingr or labor-serving depending on the point of view of the management. American industry was made the wonder of the world during the prosperous years from 1922 to 1929. It is now passing through a critical period. The supreme economic problem of the Twentieth Century is whether it is desirable and possible in the long run to maintain a competitive, as distin- guished from a socialistic, regime of industrial so- ciety. . Without the knowledge we are gaining of how to use everything in the public interest while pre- serving the advantages of individual initiative, the facilities of industry might be only a curse. Indus- try would also be a futile thing if it did not distrib- ate income, and through this income distribute goods. Eventual expression in wages has charac- terized every improvement in the methods of Amer- ican industry. In industry, as in every other phase of devel- opment, the pioneer spirit with its abruptness, se- riousness, inquietude; and hope is the American way to progress. ' Commencement and Baccalaureate The Baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Father Kluthe at the High School building, Sunday evening, May 19. It was a very impressive ves- per service. . The Commencement Exercises were held at the North Park, Friday evening, May 24., at 8 P. M. As this was the fiftieth anniversary, nienibei's from each of the fifty classes represented their groups. Former board members, as well as the present ones, were among those who accompanied the robed faculty and senior class to the platform. The seniors were grouped asto the courses pur- sued throughout high school. The program consisted of talks by six repre- sentative former students and the major speech by a former graduate, Tom Bockes 0f the Union Pa- cific law oliiees, Omaha, Nebraska. The music was furnished by the community chorus composed almost entirely of former grad- nates. The exercises featured the progress of the school for fifty years and were very appropriate both for the present graduating class and the alum- ni of the school. .
