 Asbury Park. N. J., July 7.-After leaving the Ocean Grove auditorium to- day, where he addressed a great gath ering of teachers of the National Edu- cational association, President Roose- welt spoke from his carriage to an over flow gathering. He took occasion to pay glowing tribute to the late Sec retary Hay and to the latter's success sor, Elihu Root. In conclusion he said:
 'aThere is not in my cabinet a man to whom it is not financial disad- vantage to stay in the cabinet. There is not in my cabinet a man who does not have to give up something substan- tial: sometimes that is a real hardship to give up, in order that he may con- tin1e in the service of the nation and have the only reward for which he looks or for which he cares-the conscious ness of having done service that was worth rendering. 1 hope more and more throughout this nation to see the spirit grow which makes such service possl- ble. hope more and more to see the sentiment of the country as a whole be- come such that each man shall feel borne in on him, whether he is in public life or in private life, and mind you' some of the greatest public services can be best rendered by those who are not in public life, that the chance to do good work is the greatest chance that can come to any man or any woman in our generation or in any oth- CT generation, and to feel that If such work can be we'll done it is in itself the an1plest reward and the amplest prize '"
 A crowd of 3G000 persons which turn ed out to welcome President Roosevelt made this the closing day of the Na- tional Educational association conven- tiorl, the most impressive of the ses- sion, The president paid a tribute to the teacher whose work inspired by a lofty ideal made the nation his debtor and compared him favorably with the worker whose ambition was limited to the gathering of material wealth Ali fer a certain point had 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 worthies numbers, Of rich men, only those who have used their riches alright, who have treated wealth not as an end but as means, who have shown good conduct in ac acquiring it, and not merely lavish gen. erostty in disposing of it.
 Although this was the last day Of the convention the president found l2'OVo 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 presi- dent made his way to a preVlously- chosen spot, where he addressed an open-air overflow meeting of perhaps twenty thousand persons.

Stokes, of New Jersey. A mill itary escort, consisting of the Second Troop of Cavalry, under Captain Ed ward Field, and the Third regiment, commanded by Colonel John A. Math- CTS, accompanied the carriage.
 AS the carriage turned into Main street it passed wagon filled with co1ored people, who cheered. In re- sponse the president waved his hand.
