Hempstead. .lune 20. — Commence ment w«y>k of the Hempstead High School opened her*- last night with tbe annual sermon, df>liv(>red to the gradu¬ ating class by fhe R«v. FYank M. Kprr. D. D., In Christ's Plrst Presbyterian Church. B^sUl<>s the class a large niim ber of relatIv<>H and frlendn w^e pres¬ ent, tbe eongregallon numbering In all more (han three hundred.
Pollowlng thf servleo, a socitil half honr was sp'-nt In the church hou.'^e by the congregation.
Dr. I\t>rr took hl.i tfxt from Luke 12:48, "For unlo whomsoever much Is gtven, of him shall be mu<'h required." The subject was "Kdiicatlonal Invest ment."
At the outset, Dr. Kerr remarked that America is known throughout the world for Its «>ducatlonal system, so much so that eommlHBlona are Hr>nt bere to study it. Yet, he said, comiiarativeiy few go throi/gh the high .qehool and those who do deserve mm-h credit for their efforts. Bpeaking on the subject. "Kdueallonal Investment." he referred to the natural Instinct of Amerleiins for InveRlmenl In a financial seime, which Is nol neces sorlly permanent, and de(1ar«»<l there is ho r*>ason why we should not have some attainment tbat cannot be taken awa> from us. such .-xs edu<'atlonnl Investment. Dr. Kerr ailvlsfd tbat the value of eduealton is not ho much in l)*>ing able to relain everything studied, but lo be able to recognixe the value of things and know where lo find whiU Is .sought. The flrst benefltof education, lie thought was to .lelf. then to eitlzenslilp and lo religion, the value lo the latter two de¬ pending on how great a benefit il is to self ami how well one is fitted by It te becflime goixl citizens and seekers for the benefits of religion.
A grent amount of education is not necessary, he snid, more than an elab orate furnishing and decoration of a house. Things learned In school may not all bo of great practical value, but they provide the opportunity of furn ishlng the mind and soul.
Dr. Kerr laid considerable stress on the requirements of citizenship in thes<> d.iys and fitted the text to the graduates, lo whom much has been giv en and of whom much will be required In faring the contests of the future.
The nfxt on' the program of com- mwncement week will be ihe I'lass day ex«rcif»es In the village haU this even Ing, wben two one-act plays will be given and the traditional class poem. and class prophesy will be given and the cup nnd spade will be handed down. The high s<-hool orchestra will play.
