buildings, have perhaps realized an iso-
lated feeling creep over them, and may
have at times been discouraged; but by
our coming here tonight you become
aware that you are part of a great
whole, and that you are working for
your own and each others good.
During the past few weeks, as you
have been led to look forward to this
event, you have had growing desire
that as your work is exhibited here it
should be your very best that it may
compare favorably with that of every
other school.
Heretofore your work has always
been displayed to the public, but your
faces we have never been able to look
into, as collective body. This was one
object of this gathering.
Another reason for which it was pur-
posed was that the entire school board
and your friends might realize the great
extent of the benefit of the evening
schools to those who, though circum-
stances had prevented them from re-
ceiving the education they desired are
still brave enough, at the close of q
day of labor, to devote the evening
hours to overcoming the difficulties in
the way of their becoming more useful
men and women. Many of you have
come to us from foreign lands, and,
diments, or even advanced farther in
education in your own language, you
gladly avail yourselves of this means,
provided by our city, for becoming ac-
quainted with our language.
Again, we have desired to give you
an opportunity Of meeting the whole Of
your committee, for in the division of
our labors, you are accustomed to see
only the member of the committee who

We knew it would interest them and
give you pleasure to come in contact
with all those who are so much con-
cerned in your progress, and who spend
so many hours in studying to promote
your best good.
With your supervisor, Mr. Riordan, it
Is quite different; you frequently see
his cheering countenance and listen to
his words of encouragement, as in his
faithful pursuance of his duties, he
visits all of your schools. 1t is to him,
together with your teachers, that your
school committee are indebted for their
cooperation in their plans for your ed
ucation.
By your punctuality and your at
tentiveness to your studies, you have
shown your appreciation of our efforts
in your behalf
Originally, the evening schools were
merely very elementary schools. But as
the years have rolled by, and the at
tendance upon them has increased
and the class of scholars who have
come have shown their desire for more
extended knowledge, more studies have
been added, and finally an evening high
school was undertaken which has now
been in existence for four years with
very gratifying success.
The thought in bringing you together
in this building in which the evening
high school is held, is to encourage you
who have completed the course. provid-
ed for you in the graded schools, to
avail yourselves of the further adj
vantages awaiting you here in the COM
ing years,

is modern-heating, lighting, ventila-
ton. The evening schools are entitled
to enjoy the best of these privileges.
There was a time when anybody could
teach in the evening schools, but such
is not the case now. The examination
for teachers in the evening schools is
substantially the same as that required
of other teachers. Within the last year
the system of having but u pupils to a
teacher and one class in a room, has
been introduced. 1t gives an opportu-
nifty to reach each pupil, and | hope
the pupils of the evening schools realize
these great opportunities. People are
beginning to realize the value Of educa-
ton for their children, even if they have
not had those advantages themselves.
Our high schools have come TO be pat
ronized to an extent hardly equaled in
any city of the size in the country.
I want to emphasize a few things. If
YOU expect to do anything well, you
need enterprise. am glad to see that
you have used the opportunity and
profited by it. Persistence is another
essential quality. Stick to your work
in spite of hard times and discourage
ments, for. as you look about you, you
will find that the men of prominence
are those who have gone through just
such a struggle. DO something and do
it we'll Put your strength and energy
into it, remembering that is the only
road to success. You need something to
fall back on. Resources always. Rep
utation, for another thing, and a good
character. You must be clean, above

for a young man or young woman, he
wants to know that boy or girl is all
right before he hires him. You need a
