of one of the most useful trades known
TO mankind.
Mr.. II. A. Stone, the principal, has
made a life study of the art of watch
making, having been constantly en-
ployed in that line of work for more
than 80 years. He is exceptionally we'll
known for his original ideas and meth
DDS of repairing watches. This knowl-
edge he imparts to his students, which
IS of great advantage and assistance
to them Each student receives his
personal attention, the same as if he
We're the only one in the class. His
greatest ambition is to see every stu
dent leaving the institution a good
mechanic, a competent jeWeler and
prosperous business man.
In an interview with a Globe re-
porter regarding the many peculiari-
ties of matchmaking, Mr.. Stone said:
There is one thing you can be sure
of, and that is there is no royal road to
success in our trade, no trade secrets,
nothing whatever except good, honest,
thorough work.
"A watch is like a machine. When it

to be done, and each student is taken
in hand and instructed privately as
well as in class.
Now is the best time of year for
starting, for the student can then
graduate in the fall and get position
at the time the Xmas boom of the
jeWelry business opens, and by dem
onstrating his ability gain perma-
nent position for himself.

President Baer, of the Philadelphia

which is entirely satisfactory to tn
beet sugar manufacturers OF his state
and which insures the support OF bot

convincing them that the future sta
bility OF the beet sugar industry de-
manded n fixed reduction of the tariff
for fixed period. In other words, he
demanded that, If the beet sugar man.
ufacturers are to submit TO a reduction
of tho sugar tariff ii should be a
fixed reduction and for definite per.
iod, in order that they might carry on
their business without fear Of further
disturbance.
President Roosevelt Is gratifed over
