Commencement • Friday was a red: letter day for the students of the Exeter High School when tlm annual Commence­ ment was held in the Exeter Opera House. There was- a splendid turn­ out of the pupils together with the parents. The -girls in their white middies with ribbons of black and red, the Exeter H. S. colors, present­ ed a fine appearance. . Mr, 'Wm. <May, Chairman of the Board of Education, occupied the chair in a most efficient manner, He was highly pleased that so many of the scholars of the Exeter School had Jiad a most successful year. It was gratifying to think of the young men and women who are out in the world today holding positions of honor and trust because of the edu­ cation they had received .at Exeter. The Exeter High Sieliool is a tgreat asset to the community and it was Vine to think that their efforts were not in vain. In athletic sports- an.d music as well as in their studies 'the pupils had shown up well. He com­ plimented the teaching staff of both the High and Public schools. Re­ ference was made to the splendid re­ sults obtained by Miss May Sims in Obtaining' the highest marks in the entrance examinations of any pupil in West Huron. This reflected on the good work of the Public School Principal, -Mr. G. S, Howard. 'The H. S. pupils sang a -chorus 'Our Old High,” followed by a vio­ lin solo by W. Stanlake and a piano solo by K. Strang, the latter being encored. Rome nudev Mussolini Prof. Cooper, through the courtesy of the extension department Of University of Western Ontario, liverd a lecture entitled1 “Rome d?r Mussolini”, He exhibited number of lantern slides taken himself, showing first the primitive way in which the Italian lives. Some live in idleness; others make a pre­ tense of fishing, but the big major­ ity are farmers. They plow mostly by large homed bullocks. Pictures were shown of great loads of fod­ der1 and faggots, stopped in .f-rQ.nt of saloons-, of which there were many in the olden days. He said that Rome was over 3060 years old and that their customs now -are a repeti­ tion -of what they were in,the- earl­ ier days. Rome lies along the shores of1 life' river Tiber and is very picturesque . It -has no mineral resources and is: chiefly an agricultural country. Bathing the body for cleanliness with water is quite unusual. They bathe in olive oil and scrape it ol'f. They have fountains in the heart of the city where they do their laun­ dry. In the earlier days the coun­ try was ruled by kings, thjs failing, democracy was tried’ for 500 years; then power got in the hands of a few people, after which followed, strikes. People laid down their tools and would not wor-k until the rulers would compromise. Things got so bad that everyone carried pistols or guns. It was at this state of affairs that Mussolini, attained power. ’ One of his first tasks was to abolish strikes and make peace among the people. Prof. Cooper compared him to such great leaders of ancient times as Julius Caesar, Pompeii, Augustus and Consta-ntine. He tried to im­ press the_ fact that Mussolini was more tactful than Caesar, .who of­ fended the populace by his selfish tactics, and like the great Augustus,, who aimed to make Rome great in religion and politics, and -who con­ centrated on cheaper and higher education. So Mussolini, in this day, is endeavoring to do the same. Since the fonuding of Rome every great leader has built public build­ ings and triumphal -arches, Musso­ lini has since 1922,. restored or built 2,800 public buildings, also confin­ ing (lie early custom of salute by the extended right hand. Under Mussolini the history of Rome is re­ peating itself. Being a shrewd man, he is avoiding the mistakes of Caesar and Augustus. From the his­ tory of Jhe past Mussolini realizes the greatness of Romo depends on. capable leadership, and to this end he l)as selected, bls successor and is giving him training for leadership.
