That tbs. course sat studies pursued at
the Technical high school In this city Is
an eminently practical one Is acknowi-
edged by all. The display Of the work
OF the pupils during the past year was
opened for public inspection on Friday
evening last. and the hundreds that
visited the school at that time gave un-
stinted praise where IL was so Justly
due.
Last c. ening the hall OF the school
building on Pond street was completely
filed with people. assembled 10 listen to
the graduation exercises OF the class OF
1904. There was displayed the skill and
ability Of tho students in a widely DIFF
ferent field. The training OF the eyes.
and hands found expression In the excel
lent showing made last week The train
ing OF the mind. the result OF the aca-
demic training was emphasized last even
ing in a most commendable fashino.
The essays. prepared by eight members
OF the graduating class. were uniformly
excellent The careful regard for rhe-
torical correctness was apparent In every
case. and the choice OF language and
forcefui simplicity OF statement were no.
ticeabie qualities.
The subjects were widely varying In ma
ture. covering. generally. the many classes
OF work followed in the school. Three
OF the speakers were assisted with IAN
tern views and the interest OF their essays
greatly increased thereby.
II would indeed be difficult TO bestow
special praise upon any one OF the
speakers, as the subjects were in no way
analogous. The delivery In every In
stance was most pleasing, and. In this
respect. mention may be made Of the
exceptional ability shown by Gregory NJ.

earnest manner. new force and strength
