Prepared for Work.

But we believe. of course that you
have prepared yourselves for this work
and will enter upon it in the right spirit
We believe that you have the best mo-
tives and purposes. We congratulate
you not only upon what you have done
in receiving the preparation, but upon
what you are going to do in recompense
for it. We do not look for impossible
results. We know that you have the
Limitation of our common human ma
ture. but We know. too, that you may
have the highest and most sustaining
inspiration.
So others shall
Take patience labor. to their heart and hand.
From thy hand, and thy heart, and thy brave
cheer,
And Gods grace fructify through thee to all.
From Gen. Harries the graduates re-
ceived some good. wholesome advice. He
impressed upon them the need OF grasp
ing opportunities as they were present
ed, and further admonished them to
make sure that the things they grasp
ed was an opportunity and not a mere
Illusion He said further:

Not here Money Getters.

You are certainly not entering the
great profession of teaching as money
making enterprise. II is a profession.
not business, and you cannot get rich
in it. Nor are you, l take it, disposed
to think that you can succeed in it by
lowering the ideal and exalting the
practical The purely practical teacher
who SCOTS at ideals may get on. but
cannot succeed For. to succeed, you
must not only iTnpart knowledge, but
improve character, and that cannot be
done with sordid motives and ignobls
ideas If you were governed by such
motives and ideas we would not trust
you with the caro- cf tha hoys and girls
rho are to be the men and women of to
morrow-yes, and who are to be living
spirits when the Capitol shall have
crumbled away. II you have taken the
liberal education which the District Of
fers it's future teachers simply for mer-
cenary reasons, and if you are entering
lpon your duties with no other though;
than to get the most out of them for
yourselves. we would be better off with
out your services.

Preparation for Teachers.

"You graduates have unquestionably
discovered that education is not the ag-
gregation of facts in the mind. and that
teaching is not merely the distribution
of these facts. You have gone through
q course which the Board of Education
considers the best course to prepare you
for teachers, coming up from the public
school into the high school. and then
advancing into the normal. Much has
been done. but great deal more re-
mains to be accomplished. You now want
the training that comes with contact
with other people who are engaged IN
the work of instructing those in our
schools
Never throw aside an opportunity to
grasp something that may be of value
to you. One Of the men that | count
among my warmest friends is Mr.. Thos.
A Edison. the great electrician
spent a delightful day with him last
Thursday At that time we went over
carefully together all of his greatest
inventions, including his latest, which.
II is claimed, viii revolutionize the
electrical world. He told me that he
had been working for over twenty years
to find the one substance that was miss
ing TO make his Invention a success.

Mr. Macfarland's Address.

Commissioner Macfarland was intro
duced and delivered an interesting ad-
dress. He said in part:
Congratulations full of thanksgiving
and full OF hopefulness are certainly in
order tonight. Not only Tor this grad
uating class, with all its good record
and all its good promise, but for the
race it represents. 1t is another evil
dence of the remarkable progress OF that
race and another pledge that that prog
ress will continue.

years ago, coming into this country

CLOSING EXERCISES HELD
Friends and Relatives of the Pupils En-
joy an Excellent Musical Program,
Together With Other Features Of the
Exercises-The Graduates.

Commissioner Macfarland and Gen.
at the graduating exercises yesterday
morning of the Washington Normal
School, No. l, at the Franklin School
Building, Thirteenth and K Streets
northwest. Gen. Henry V. Boynton,
president of the Board of Education, and
DR.. H. NJ. johnson also spoke.
The large assembly hall OF the school
was crowded with the friends and rela-
tives of the graduates. and the occa-
sion proved thoroughly enjoyable in
every respect An excellent musical pro-
gram was interspersed with the address,
es and other features of the exercises.
Mr. A. T. Stuart. superintendent of the
public schools, presided.
Commissioner Macfarland, the first
speaker, was followed throughout with
the closest interest and attention. He
said:
THE government of the District of
Columbia offers its felicitations to you
as you graduate today. 1t is as deeply
interested in you as in any others who
are graduating from its schools. For.
as class, you are to be the teachers
and therefore largely the makers of the
future citizens OF the District of Colum-
bia. All that. We deplore in the pres
ent, all that we desire in the future cit
izenship of the National Capital, will be
largely within your power. If every
teacher in the public sch jols could be
ideal in intelligence, integrity, and en-
thusiasm, we would come very near hav
ing an ideal citizenship after a very
few years. This may not be possible
but it is possible for each of you to up
hold the ideal and to work toward it
In doing this you will find rich reward
not only in your own progress, but in
the visible improvement of those under
your care. This is what you expect K
dds it not?

GA valuable horse, the property
Of james Jeffreys, was SO badly cut
Sunday afternoon by running into a
wire fence that it was necessary to

figures more valuable stock than can
be well estimated, and its use ought
to be discouraged, if not entirely pro-

Besides, there are now so many sub

the vicious barbs, and withal are so
cheap and so much more desirable
that there is no good reason for per-

when arranging for a travelling tour is
to visit 1t. There is no other place in
any land which can compare with
Washington, 1t is cosmopolitan yet In
q way different from New York, Lon
don or Paris. To start with the system
by which the city was planned is
unique. It's public buildings are in their
architectural designs grand and impos-
ing. The streets are wide, finely kept
thoroughfares. unlike those of any
other city. Washington boasts of q
park system second to none, and its
every environ bespeaks such grandeur
as is due the nations capital The gov
ernment buildings are wonderful mines
Of instructive and interesting material
and congress Is the mecca for the tour
list who delights in watching and listen
ing to the proceedings of the greatest
governing body known to the world.
This early winter season Is the most
delightful time for visiting Washing

such trip is afforded on December Is,
