The presentation of a life-siZed por-
trait of Hon. w. Pitt Murray yesterday
afternoon to the William Pitt Murray
school was appropriately celebrated.
The school is situated at st. Anthony
Park, and the presentation was made
during the afternoon by George II. Haz-
card, in behalf of Mr.. Murray. Mr..
Hazard referred to Mr.. Murray's life
long work in the interests of the city
and state. He had known Mr.. Murray
since he was seven wears old. Mr.. Muir
ray. as a legislator, had done much ia
perfect the public school system of the
state, and was most estimable citizen.
Gov. Marshall, in behalf of the school.
accepted the picture. 1t gave HIM great
pleasure to be associated with and to
take part in those proceedings. He had
known MIR. Murray for over forty years.
and remembered the day that lie arrived
in st. Paul by stage. He had known
Mr.. Murray as public spirited man, a
faithful public servant. Mr.. Murray
others, especially for, the poor and
afflicted. 1t was most appropriate
thing. the naming of that handsome
school building after one who had done
so much and taken such deep interest
in building up the common schools of
the state. Gov. Marshall fell into a
reminiscent strain. He told the chill
dren how, with gun on shoulder, forty
years ago he, had explored the very
hills and groves where st. An
thony Park now stood, and contrasted
the opportunities of the children today,
with their school houses, trained teach
ers and appliances. with the log school
house opportunities afforded men of his
age when they were boys. He paid a
glowing tribute to the public school
system and thought it extremely ap-
prOpriate to associate the memory of a
man like Mr.. Murray with the same.
Rev. j. Chandler also spoke. He said
it was the habit of remembering the
dead. and he was glad to see this de.
parture-the paying of a tribute to the
living. Western public servants like
Mr.. Murray and Gov. Marshall had
larger views of things than even the
men of New England.
