FORTY-TWO SWEET GIRLS

| The graduation services of the classes
of June, 1903, and January, 1904, of the
Jersey City Training School for Teachers
were held last evening in the auditorium
of Public School No. 9, at Brunswick
and Mercer streets. The programme
was one of the best prepared by the
school in some time, and Superintendent
Snyder complimented Principal Brensing-
er on the quiet, orderly and dinifed man.
ner in which everything was conducted.
| On the platform were Mayor Pagan,
| Superintendent Snyder members of the
Board of Education and teachers.
Nearly one thousand people were in the
auditorium when the exercises began.
| The graduates, forty-two in number, en-
tered in double file and occupied reserved
seats in front of the platform. The
platform was almost hidden with palms.
! After an invocation by Rev. J. Alexan-
der Brown, Mr.. George Bruce Kemp, Jr.,
gave a piano selection. Superintendent
Snyder then presented the class. He
made short address and complimented
| both the graduates and their teachers.
Miss Dorothy NJ. F. Waterman, the
| salutatorian, made an excellent address,
and was loudly applauded. Miss Celine
| Crawford gave an essay on '"The Oppor
tunity of the Teacher Miss Crawford
was also well received. Miss Isabelle M.
Clark spoke on History in Education"
and the valedictory address was made by
Miss Etehel McClary.
An interesting address on "The Sue
cessful Teacher was given by City Su-
perintendent Addison B. Poland, Ph. D.,
of Newark, n. J.
Mr.. Poland was formerly Superinten-
dent of the schools in this city. He de-
scribed the last fourteen years as the
Golden Age of the public schools in
Jersey City, and said he hoped that the
schools would continue to progress.
He gave some pedagogical advice to
the graduates. The graduating class
left a very handsome picture to adorn
the walls of the auditorium. The pic
ture was presented by Miss Eta My
lotte and was accepted by President
John H. Ward of the Board of Educa-
ton. Mayor Pagan was not ON the pro-
gramme for an address as he was not
| certain whether he could be present
Principal Brensinger called upon him
for few remarks, however, and the
Mayor responded in brief but appro-
pirate address. He said he hoped that
within the next two years the walls of
the new high school would be where
everybody could see them.
