Friday. the closing day OF the National
Educational convention. the most i'm
pressive Of all the great educational
meetings. 1.-THE Duties OF the Rich,

president delivered to the educators
After a certain point has been reach

among rich men only those who have

though this was the last day of
convention, the president found
1000 delegates. nearly all school
teachers. waiting to hear his first
speech, which was made in Ocean
Grove auditorium. At the close of
this address the president partly re-
traced his way through the crowds
who had welcomed him outside. but
who had been unable to secure adj
mission to the auditorium, and at
previously chosen spot, where the over
flow crowd had concentrated he made
second speech. in the open air to an
even greater crowd than indoors His
second audience was estimated at
10000.
The presidential train arrived at the
depot at 2 o'clock and II took thirty
five minutes to make the trip from
there through the crowd of people un-
til the moment when the cheering SUBJ
sided and the president began to speak
from the Ocean Grove auditorium
platform.
Several pretty receptions marked the
trip from the depot to the place where
the first speech was made. AS the
presidents carriage turned into Main
street 1t passed wagon filled with
negroes. who began to cheer. In re-
Spouse the president waved his hand
at the delighted negroes. When the
president entered the auditorium thou
sands mounted chairs and cheered him.

began to speak.

o. tie president.
A. the president shook hands with
Miss Blake at the conclusion Of her
address. the audience rose to its feet
and cheered her 1t had been the pres
dents intention to make another ad-
dress outside the auditorium but his
time was SO short he could stop only
long enough on the ocean driveway to
greet the crowd which had assembled
and to express his pleasure at the re-
ception accorded him.
President Roosevelt paid an appro-
PIRATE and eloquent tribute to the life
services of the late Secretary Hay He
followed this tribute with an estimate
of personal sacrifice Elihu Root had
made in becoming Secretary Hays
successor. The example of these two
men. not entirely unique. as the presi-
dent indicated I'm references h made to
other members of his cabinet, enabled
him to point a most effective moral.
Tremendous cheexing greeted his re-
marks. AT the conclusion of his pre-
pared address, the president put aside
his notes and with manifest earnestness
and feeling spoke to the great audi ]
ence.
His statement that Mr. Root had ac-
cepted the Office OF secretary OF state. |
a fact which many of his auditors were
not aware. brought the audience to its
feet cheering.
