believing in what Can't he Seen.
Professor A. H. Berlin WAS introduced
by Francis DUPONT, chairman of the
day, after the program had been com
pleted He delivered an interesting
lecture to the children. He said in illus
tration that should he hold up a hand
kerchlef the school could recognize 10, II
they ever saw it again, but in case Of a
lesson in arithmetic IL was a different
thing. That is forgotten by the scholar
in a short time. Scholars must learn TO
get hold Of things without lingering
them. A great many do not understand
because they have no object TO see. aud
for that reason he thought better results
would be obtained In the use Of objects
In that new school.
At the conclusion Of the professors
speech he was handed a large and
handsome frame which contained crayon
portrait. He exhibited It to the school
and then turned II to Mr.. Du Pont, who
was taken completely by surprise. as IL
was the life-size likeness Of himself, In
a neat little speech in response to the
presentation Mr.. Du Pont said that he
was much embarrassed over the matter
one reason being that he was a'modest man
and he did not care to have his photo
graph exhibited. This present was a
gift Of the teachers, school children and
workmen in the powder mills. The
crayon work, which was excellent, was
executed by Miss NJ. R. L. Withers.
