Tribute to Him.

ASOuTy FdTk, ~. d., July o. "a CIOWu
of 10000 persons which turned out to
welcome President Roosevelt made
Friday, the closing day of the National
Educational association convention,
the most impressive Of all the great
educational meetings. The duties of
the rich was the subject matter Of the
speech which the president delivered
to the educators. After a certain
point has been reached" he said,
"money-making can never again
stand on the same plane with other
and nobler forms of effort. The roll
of American worthless numbers, of rich
men, only those who have used their
riches Alright, who have shown good
conduct in acquiring it, and not merely
lavish generosity in disposing of it."
Although this was the last day Of
the convention, the president found
1900 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 retraced
his way through the crowds who had
welcomed him outside. but who had
been unable to secure admission to
the auditorium, and at a previously
chosen spot, where the overflow crowd
had concentrated, he made a second
speech in the open air to an even
greater crowd than in doors. His sec
ond audience was estimated at 10000.
A Tribute to the President.
Responses to the presidents address
were made by John R. Kirk, president
of the state normal school at Kinks
Vile, Mo-, and Miss Katherine Dever-
eaux Blake, principal Of public school
No. 6. of New York city. Miss Rlake's
response was a notable effort. She
pronounced the eloquent eulogy on the
president, concluding with these
words:
"He is greater teacher than any
among US. We are teachers Of chill.
dren; he is a teacher Of men, teacher
of nations. He is not only the presi-
dent of the United States, but also the
best loved man in all the world"
AS the president shook hands with
Miss Blake at the conclusion Of her
address, the audience rose to its feet
and cheered for nearly minute.
A Warm Greeting.
The presidents train arrived at the
depot at two o'clock, and 1t took 35
minutes to make the trip from there
through the welcoming people until
the moment when the cheering sub,
sided and the president began to speak
from the Ocean Grove Auditorium
platoon. Several pretty receptions
marked the trip from the depot. Out
side the depot the Indian band, from
Carlisle school, was in waiting, and
fell into line Immediately before the
presidents carriage. In the carriage
with the president rode Gov. Edward
G. Stokes, Of New Jersey. A military
escort, consisting Of the Second troop
Of cavalry under Capt. Edward Field
aRd Third regiment, commanded by
Col. JohH A. Mather, accompanied the
carriage. As the carriage turned into
Main street it passed a wagon filled
with negroes, who began to cheer. IN
response. the president waved his
hand at the delighted negroes. When
the president entered the Auditorium
thousands mounted chairs and cheered
him. AS soon as quiet had been re.
stored he began to speak.
