Nearly two hundred pupils of the Free
Evening Technical School were made
happy last night by the presentation Of
handsomely engraved testimonials or GER
ti6cates of proficiency in various special
branches Of study. Some of these, es-
pecially those presented pupils in the
class of bookkeeping, stenography and
tvnewriting are equivalent to diplomas of
graduation and will go far in securing
positions. Despite the rain the big as
sembly room contained large-audience
composed of the pupils of the school and
their friends. Even those who did not
receive such testimonials We're loudest IN
the applause of each individual as ne or
she stepped forward to receive certih-
cate.
Mayor Fagan was unable to be pres
e ent. Principal Hulshizer made all the
announcements of the programme and
School Director Lyons handed out the
certificates.
The programme opened with violin
solo by John Caparo, followed by
piano solo. Other features of the
programme were vocal solos by Frank
Aumach, Robert Confreid and William
Brachie, pupils of No. 20 School in knick-
abockers and a piano solo by Miss La
vina Kipp. pupil. All were heartily
encored.
David R. DAILY, manager and principal
Avner Of the big Gautier potter and cru
chile plant, which was burned out last
Saturday night, was the first to address
the pupils He said in part
Il feel chat you know what you are
doing and that you are all going to be
successes. You have demonstrated that
you like work. That is the principal
thing that brings happiness and makes
good men and women. Even though
you may meet with reyerses you must
get up and so at it again. The one who
shows this disposition can always get
something to do. After while you will
find that such happiness comes with a
love for work. Many men who have
made money did so because of this love
for work. Yau have my best wishes for
happiness at all times"
Superintendent Snyder made an appro-
pirate address that was thoroughly APP
preciated by the pupils. After compli-
menting the young musicians, he amused
the pupils with the remark that some
of the greatest composers often insert
discordant notes in the composition in or
der to make other passages sweeter by
contrast. and that he supposed that Prin-
cipal HHlskizer had placed him on the
programme as one of the notes of dis
Accrd- Music, he said, was always much
more pleasant to listen to than one of
his dry speeches. He said that the pu-
pills had right to be more pleased than
ever before over the showing of work in
comparison with that Of last year.
! 'Yoa can't appreciate that statement, .
he said, because you look at it from an
Individual standpoint but we who come
ont to examine the work as matter Of
sIAe whole do.''
Mr. Snyder alluded to the large num-
her of pupils who had enrolled and the
ailinber who dropped out because the
work of study was irksome
"You have won much by sticking to
your task and there is as much differ
eBce between you and them as there Is
between the finished product and the raw
& ma :erial-as there is between pig iron

what would ton of steel watch springs

from pig iron into steel by highly devel-
oyed brains, and ike the watch spring

Of what it has performed since that time.
