Eugene A. O'Connor sang king of the
forest" and in response to an encore
gave The flag of the free" Supervisor
Riordan then spoke of the interest of
the committee, and said there was no
city in the commonwealth that has
shown a more generous and responsive
spirit toward education by gas light.
During the present year $4,000 has been
expended, but 1 have never heard a
public or private opinion expressed
that would indicate a feeling Of doubt
about the wisdom of the expenditure.
All committees with which 1 have come
in contact within the past II years have
been enthusiastic in their desire to pro-
mote the welfare of these schools. They
are constantly giving evidence Of a be-
Lief that practical results are possible
and probable in a school composed of
pupils of mature age who have passed
beyond the possibilities of strictly sys-
tematic training instruction attendant
upon the day school In the evening
schools attendance means much, because
it Is voluntary. The pupil comes, as a
rule, in the hope and expectation that
the instruction will make the pathway
OF life easier and more prosperous. This
means an enthusiasm which makes
teaching pleasure.
In closing, Mr.. Riordan said a few
words to the pupils, telling them to con-
tinue their studies and to remember
that the happiest man in life was the
one who had the confidence and respect

duty, whatever it might be, as well as
he could; and not the man who had
power, riches and fame. He urged hon
est and upright lives, good associates.
After song, Good bye sweet day"
by Mrs. Johnson, the exercises were
brought to an end.
