One hundred and sixty seven aspirants for pedagogic lienors wore graduated last night at the annual commencement exercises of the Brooklyn Teachers' Training School lieid in tho auditorium of the Girls' High School. Nosirand avenue and Hnlsey street. The hall was filled with a good natured. amiable crowd that showered applause cn the yount; graduates at every opportunity which presented itself frequently making the young women of the class blush and the young men feel uneasy. The decorations were very simple.

A large American Hag hung over the stage and another on the gallery in the rear. Over the edge of the stage peeped a double row of bouquets extending clear across the platform the gifts of admiring friends and relatives; to the young graduates. John Greene, member of the school committee, in the absence of Frank L. Babbott, the chairman, presided. Seated upon the stage were the members of the faculty of the Training School, Dr.

John Gallagher, the principal, and several members of the Beard of Education and the local school boards. ine exercises were opened witn me suit; if.g of the song "Revel of the by tile I entire class. Mr. Greene then made a short address tn which lie pointed out to the graduates tho responsibilities they arc about to take up. "These ycuug women." said Mr.

Greene, have chosen to Unci their source of 11: i fluenco at the very spring of our civic life, Upon the work they accomplish in the schools must finally rest the success of our democratic Institutions. It has been said that the education oV men Increases the number of scholars, but that tho education of women through the home a higher and belter level of instruction; of a higher and better view of life." Mr. Greene then paid a tribute to the memory of the late Henry W. Maxwell, formerly a member of tho local High Schools Committee (T A of what work is being don, said Mr. Greene, "the capstone of our institutions, was near to the heart nf the lone hnw he building facili lamented Henry W.

When the half dozen voting men for thc ovcrIloil. or were who were graduated stepped on the stage to rirtmrrt tn, receive their diplomas the entire audience as l7 well as the girls in the class applauded for Jr. .1.

lanterns and growing plants hanzine from Brooklyn upon the occasion which saw such a class out from of halls of learning. Ho called upon tin? by their lives and examples to upon the public mind the need of higlUT In the public school system of th ril. Thi? Rev. Dr. Adams clnM the exercises with an address upon the "Thoughtful Life," In which he said: "This function to which wo are bidden is an Impressive sign of ihc increasing sense of tho value and the powir of the thoughtful life.

It shows the American sense of the importance of study, of taking heed lor the life, of intelligence, fort sight, outlook. It is a mighty plea for culture, for sound learning, for the increasing empire of pure thought. I should like to seize upon this occasion to impress upon you young people that all you have been doing in these school days has been in the interest of the thoughtful life to begin it, to mnk'o preparations for increasing it, to fill yourselves with its spirit, and I should bp thrice glad If I could make you feel that the one great need of our time, the necessity and the pleading cry of our generation, is for this thoughtful life in business, in politics. In social organizations and In religion." Dr. Adams said that he realized that this declaration did not Jump with the times; that all are familiar with the superficial demand for what America has always had in abundance, for" aggressiveness, for push and for pull, for facility for doing things and producing effects, for the "strenuous life," but he held that this outcry for strenuous ncss was not the voice of a new impulse, but a reminiscence of a more boisterous day in the national life.

The speaker said that he had no protest to make against the strenuous life, but because Americans are and always have beep such strenuous folk they need the compensating; and saving grace of thoughtfulness. "It Is a magnificent thing." he said, "to see a youth or a people start out for a goal and lend themselves to some great end and purpose. But always before that start can be made the purpose has tr be thought out and the way laid in the mind. Before you can enlist'in army to fn ht and dare for any cause or country whatsoever you must have a nation or a people which has thought out some principle which it Is convinced Is worth fighting for. A man does not fight for a home until he has learned to love that home.

He does not take up arms for a country until he has thought out the proposition that bis country is worth fighting for. War does not make patriots, it is patriots who make the war." The speaker cautioned his audience doing blindly, that it was not well to hit when one hits at a stone wall, but by all means to do something in life provided it can be done intelligently, to achieve with understanding, for to do so with understanding was the only wise strenuousnoss. Life that was all action, he said, was blind, superficial and stupid. "In proportion, then," he. said, "as American life Is characterized by energy and by aggressiveness it ought to be protected, guided and controlled by Insight and training.

It needs the more definite ideals. It requires the severe discipline. There is no fear hut what we shall go fast enough and far enough; but the question is My contention is that the need of American life is not more steam, but better steering. It is not more energy, but more light; not strenuousness, but sagacity." In conclusion Dr. Adams spent some moments in impressing upon the graduating class, tho value of the thoughtful life and its cultivation during the years of their youth.

He told them that they, could have no more splendid motto for their Intellectual life than "Pax et Lux," the motto of hls'alma mater, "pcice and light," ho said, adding that the true peace of the republic would only be attained as its light Increases, and they as young citizens were called upon to contribute to that light. At the close of the exercises at the Academy of Music the graduating classes held a reception at the Pouch Mansion; which was largely attended. ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL EXERCISES. Annual Entertainment Given by Scholars Winners of Diplomas and Medals.

The annual entertainment of St. Paul's School was held last nfght in the school hall, on "Warren street, and was a rousing success. Every number on the programme was excellent and was presented in a way to please even the most critical. Tho opening chorus, "The Wreck of the Hesperus," was well rendered by St. Paul's Junior Choir.

Edward Barrison made a decided hit in his original essay, on "Girls," as did James Dougherty In his selection, entitled "The Twins." The popular song, "Rip Van Winkle," was effectively sung by tho third class, after which Maurico Freeman declaimed "The Knight's Toast" in a most creditable manner. There was a craning of necks among the spectators when the little tots filed on the stage In their gesture song, entitled "The Birdie's Ball." The efforts of the little men were appreciated by every one present and they were given enthusiastic applause. The graduates were next presented, and the Rev. Father Hill, who presided, presented to each graduate a diploma and gold medal for general excellence. The graduates wore: Mary Regan, Mary Qulnn, Madeleln Madden, Mary McGrecvy, Mary Flood.

Shiel sang Moore's ballad, "Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms," in a pleasing manner, and Leo Dugan was heard to good advantage in his song, "When the Blue Sky Turns to Gold." The military drill by St. Paul's Cadet Corps was excellent. Tho marches and difficult evolutions performed by the boys won for them round after round of applause.

Arthur Leonard was applauded for hia excellent singing, after which came tho hit of the evening, a farco entitled "The Burglar Alarm." The humorous situations of the different characters wore inimitably portrayed and kept the audience In constant laughter. Tho boys who composed the cast were: Edward P'. Shiel, as Mr. Duff; Edward J. Murphy, as George.

Duff; Eugene Sullivan, as Skinner, a servant; Jerome Sullivan, aB Judge Gardner, a swindler; Andrew Dunn, as Dr. Bud; John McGovern, as a messenger boy, and Joseph J. McCabe, as a policeman. GRADUATES OS" NO. 30.

P. Harmon. Before a large audience of admiring friends and relatives of the pupils the graduating exercises of Public School No. 1 were last evening carried to a successful conclusion. The stage end of the main floor of the historic school on Adams street was embanked with roses.

On the raised platform sat Miss Mary M. Orr, member of the local School Hoard; the Rev. W. P. Knrmon, assistant pastor of Plymouth Church; Charles W.

Lyon. borough superintendent, and W. Otis Badger, president of the Alumni Association. Miss Orr presided at lhe exercises and assisted by Mr. Lyon awarded the diplomas to a large number of graduates.

The Rev. Mr. Harmon in apt words tempered with humor gave some very sensible advice to the graduates. Contrasting the youth of tho present day with Abraham Lincoln, he referred to what is called the disadvantage of too much advantage and Intimated that more self direction and individual effort were necessary to success. Three elements, he said, entered into the making of a successful career and these are discipline, industry and method.

Success is not the ability to amass enormous wealth, but is rather to be sought in the disciplining of our spiritual forces and in their orderly, economic and methodical training. The programme consisted of two parts, patriotic and ethical. The excellence with which the numbers were rendered was commented upon most favorably by the visiting friends and supervisors. Mr. Fleming and his corps of teachers came in for much praise.

Miss Judge had charge of the musical programme and was as successful as usual. The medal of scholarship was awarded to Cecelia Conroy and is the gift ol the Alumni Association of the school. The graduates were: Kibi uary aduates E. Arniftruiif. Al.

3. Association Hall Filled With Interested Audience of Relatives and Friends. Address by Colonel Masters. Colonel Hlbbert B. Masters, president of the Union League Club, in his capacity as chairman of Local Board No.

28. presided at the commencement exercises of Public School No. 3, which were held last night in Association Hall, and made a most successful master of ceremonies. His address to the graduating class was a model of good natured and not too serious admonition, humorous self disclaimer and admirable brevity. Other members of the Local Board were platform guests, but there were no other addresses offered.

The hall was tilled to its utmost capacity, despite inclement weather conditions, which seem to mark No. S's graduation functions for their own, and the various numbers, carefully pruned by Dr. White and his assistants, to keep a somewhat lengthy programme within bounds, were warmly received. While encores were discouraged, insistent demand conquered in two cases a piano solo, by Dorothy B. Randall, and a recitation on "Touissaint L'Overturc," by George Lattlmore.

The latter who Is one of the two colored members of the class, seemed to be more than ordinarily popular with his schoolmates. He showed excellent natural elocutionary ability. The salutatory, by William S. Porter; the class poem, by Florence G. Bclford, and tho valedictory, hy Gerard Harrison, were excellent specimens of cleur thought, careful dic licn and excellent appreciation of humor, and were delivered with a self poise and confidence, in the face of the vast audience, that.

It is believed, even the presiding officer viewed with admiration, if not envy. No. 3 Orchestra and No. 3 Glee Club furnished the music; the singing of "God Save the King," by the latter, in a series of national songs, being especially recognized by the audience. The full programme was as follows: indcctlon.

Dr. J. Coleman Adams on the "Thoughtful Life'Medals for Honor Students. Two hundred and sixty seven bright young men and women, members of the graduating classes ot Erasmus Hall High School for 1902, sat upon the stage of the Academy of Music last night and smiled across huge banks of flowers into the faces of friends and relatives, who thronged the auditorium to see the graduates receive their coveted diplomas. Outside, the lowering skies gave sure signs of rain, but this had no effect upon the attendance, for from dusk until long after the exercises began carriages crowded into Montague street, with their occupants bound for the Academy, and florists' wagons sought vantage places where their attendants could unload the almost unlimited amount of floral offerings intended for the graduates.

The music for the exercises was furnished by tho school's orchestra, and to the strains of Kretschmer's "Coronation March" the graduating classes marched to their scats on the stage. At one side sat the faculty of the school, headed by Dr. W. B. Gunnison, the school's principal; Albert G.

McDonald, representing the Board ot Education, and tho Rev. Dr. John Coleman Adams, formerly pastor of All Souls' Unlversallst Church, in this borough. Dr. Gunnison made the formal presentation of the candidates for diplomas and certificates to Mr.

McDonald, who conferred them upon the graduates. In his introductory address Dr. Gunnison welcomed the relatives and friends of the graduates in the name of the school and coggratulated the classes upon the completion of their school work. He spoke of the four years that most ot them had spent in study in Erasmus Hall High School as an event of great importance at a vital and critical time of their lives, and ho thanked the parents of the scholars for their hearty co operation and support of the school and its faculty In matters of policy and discipline. Turning to the graduates, Dr.

Gunnison congratulated them on the occasion. There never was a more beautiful class, he said, nor one that better deserved reward. He said that there were more pupils before him at that time ready for diplomas than were upon the entire school register Ave years ago. In going out into the world, Dr. Gunnison said, the pupils carried with them the prayers and well wishes of their teachers, who would rejoice with them in successes and sympathize with them in failures, and in concluding he said that he hoped the graduates had learned many lessons outside of the curriculum provided by the Board of Education lessons taught them by the precept and example of their teachers.

The following graduates were then presented by Dr. Gunnison to Mr. McDonald, who handed to them their diplomas: CLASSICAL COURSE. February section Kathryn G. Browne, Clara Burow, Agnes M.

OBJECTION TO D. A. BARDWELL. Best Men Should Be Plans for the election of 'the two district superintendents miscarried at the meeting of the Board of Education yesterday afternoon, and for the first time since the organization of the board last February, the minority se 1 cured the upper hand. While it was a decisive victory, it will he a short lived one, as the election was only postponed until the next meeting.

The tcet of strength was caused by the nomination of Darwin A. Bard well of Binghamton, N. and Joseph G. Taylor of the Bronx as district superintendents. These nominations had been made by the board of superintendents after weeks of delay and it was expected that the members of the board would oppose the election of a man outside the system.

Under the' present system of centralized power, the board of superintendents nominates the men for the nnsitinn nf district superintendent and the Board of Education can only approve or disapprove of the recommendations. There is no power of initiative in the board and no name can be voted for unless recommended by the superintend Pts. The minority members of the board ve rebelled time and time again against Is centralization, but in rain. The effort JtO' defeat other nominations in the oast has (Jailed, and the leaders of the "hopeless cause expected little better results yester day. The nominations, after some objection, had bee approved by the executive commit tee toward the close oE the meeting the After Secretary A.

E. Palmer had read the recommendation of the executive commute approving the nomination by the board of superintendents of Darwin A. Bardwell, and Joseph Taylor as district superintendents Commissioner Jonas of Brooklyn opposed the approval by the board of the nomination ol the former, on the ground that there were many men and women in the school system who were as well qualified as Mr. Bardwell and who should be nominated in preference to him. Commissioner Mack defended the nomination in a lengthy spech.

He declared that the objection was a flimsy one and should hot prevail. He upheld the policy cf leaving the school system to seek out the beet men for the highest positions in the gilt pf the board and defended the nomination as the best which could have been made. In ancwer to Mr. Mack. Nathan S.

Jonas declared hotly that he and the other inem bers had a right to know the grounds upon which the nominations were made. Commissioner John C. Kelly of Brooklyn asked Superintendent Maxwell to read the letter from Mr. pardwell applying for the position. 3I)r.

Maxwell, after complying with the re est, added, "I have known Mr. Bardwell his work intimately for some year3 past, and I regard him as on nf tht nhin.it men engaged in educational work in thn auue. iommissioner Jonas withdrew his Abjection and the balloting was begun, cjaring his opposition to the nomination and flRlrinp tf Tio t. a vwmu usj lu LUC i troum mendation.

He remarked that some member of the board of superintendents might be assigned to the work of supervising libraries and the expense saved the board. The amendment was lost, but on motion of General Wingato the board decided to reconsider the vote and lay the matter over for reconsideration. In accordance with the provisions of section 1,089 of tho Amended Charter the following local school boards tendered their semi annual reports: Nos. 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 23, 30 and 32.

These reports will be analyzed and referred to the appropriate committees. A communication was received from Borough President Swanstrom appointing Mary M. Dammann a member of district board No. 39. Upon the request of the Board of Aldermen the board decided to close the offices ot the board on Saturday, July 0.

Ida A. Everltt appealed to the board for a rehear Ins of her case. All of the recommendations from the executive committee were approved. They provided that in November the president should ppolnt from the eligible list two physicians, one man and one woman, who shall open offices in the Board of Education and whose duty it will be to examine applicants for teachers' licenses and to certify to their physical condition. The board approved the recommendation of the executive committee dismissing George Steinson of Public School No.

27, Manhattan, for inefficiency in teaching and failure to properly instruct his classes. The position of lecturer of physiology was abolished and Dr. Jerome Walker, who has held that position In the Commercial High School, was sus 'pended without pay from September 1. The minimum requirements for teachers' licenses were adopted as already published, with a few amendments, chief among which was the provision that the age limit for licenses for directors of special branches is to be fifty five years for men and fifty for women who have been in the service ton vears. The now course of study for the Training School for Teachers was approved as recommended by the Board of Superintendents with the approval of the committee on high and training schools.

young AT COMMERCIAL HIGH SCHOOL cm i' fc omuciiLa vv ituae "Work "Was Exhibited Tfo Commencement This Year. Last evening old Public School No. 3, ol Bedford avenue, waa the of a reception tendered to the public by the 600 students of lhe Commercial High School, which now located in that building. The recep tion was the idea of Principal Moore to show tne ceiling added to the general decorative effect. On the ground floor the hich sehnnl orchestra rendered e.ti admirable series of selections at intervals and on the floor abovo the mandolin club furnished the music.

From an early hour till 30 o'clock a continuous crowd of people came and went, and In spile of the inclement weather fully eight hundred people were present during the evening. On tho first floor in the genera display of the students' work wtiB the very remarkable exhibit of the Sketch Club and samples of the mechanical, drawing Professor Flynt's classes. In another room complete sots of business books and phstographlc mountings were exhibited. Upstairs there was a complete miniature counting house, with all its accessories, including eeveral stenographic exhibits. In many of thc room's tho blackboards were Piled with anatomical drawings in different colored crayons.

Much interest centered on the physical laboratory, which fs at present located in a store on Bedford venue cpnosKe the school. There a complete and effective ray apparatus was on view, and hundred of Interested visitors wer. permitted to see through all sorts of opaque substances. The uniform oxeellep.ee of the exhibits show the possibility of even a higher r.tandnrd if thc facilities are provided and the character of the work provos that these are deserved. EVEN DEFENDS "SPOONING." Mr.

Todd Writes in Extenuation of What Happened on CIiautauq.ua Excursion. To the Editor of the I had not intended to interfere In tha petty little quarrel between the Brooklyn Chautauqua Union and Mrs. Perkins, et but as my name has bego introduced into the controversy I bog the privilege of correctly stilting my position in the matter. There arc some people in this world who are never satisfied with the way other people do things, and that will probably account in some measure for thc Initial critlcsm ot the moonlight excursion; first in the executive meeting ar.d then in the Eagle. It depends very largely on the point of observation.

The original critic doubtless felt disturbed over the "spooning." while in the case of others, a "fellow feeling makes them wondrous kind." I was nut cn thc excursion thU year, but my absence was net in any wav owing to disapproval of anything on previous excursions. Dut I wr.s there last year and into account the fact (which censorious overlook) that the young people bad a very wearisome tramp to Wckl Point of. ever two miles on a hot day over a dusty read. On the way homo they were too tired to promenade, even were there room; all young pocrde are not expert conversationalists, with an endless flow of language (as is the case of some critics), nor do of thtra care to spend the return trip In devouring thc surplus luncheon. Some, doubtless, can pass away tho hours in tiong.

but there remains a residue not in any of these ways gifted, and it is no marvel thin many of those enjoyed themselves after the manner of young people from the davs of Jacob ar.d Rachel until now. We may not approve, wo may not cvsn excuse such a mode of enjoyc ent In a public place, even with the lights turned low, but It would take more than seventeen committeemen to entirely prevent it. One thing, however, is certain, no couple could assume an unseemly position who would not be reproved bv tha first committeeman observing their attitude. It has been suggested that this year it was chilly on the return trip, and in the absence of wraps some may have seized upon that as cn excuse for "the encircling arm." Just let your reporter who attended tho excursion and the reporter who so deftly interviewed me "put themselves in their place." and wouldn't It Jar them to be proclaimed in startling headlines as "Off Color?" Seriously. I think this matter is a "tempest in a teapot," and it can never be settled by newspaper controversy.

The class then sang "Xow May Again" and "Lullaby," after which the Rev. Dr. John Reid, of the Memorial Presbyterian Church, delivered the address.

Dr. Reid said: "Herbert Spencer once declared thc broadest and most complete definition of life to be 'the continuous adjustment of internal relations to external According to that, life is pleasurable and gladsome, is genuine and potent, in proportion as tsmpera mc nt is adjusted to environment. "Every man finds that the world which is external to himself is already established in its material economy, and altogether independent in Its moral order! Looking within, he finds further that he is the tenement of another, an ideal man the image of himself, as in his better moments and moods he knows he ought to be. And these arc the two factors in the problem which ho is given to solve. The external world is the multiplicand.

That inner self is the multiplier. The product depends upon the multiplier. The right adjustment of a man's world within to his world without demands that the man himself shall be master. It needs wisdom to recognize wisdom. The law by which a man is governed is within, not without.

The voice that speaks him best and truest is the voice that speaks in him. "Self makes a poor center for life. A rainless sky makes a barren Innd, and as long as the heavens are brass the earth will be iron. Everything in nature needs something dsn in nature. Interdependence is the law of created existence, and the condition of its continuance is not self maintenance, but ministry.

There can be no possible gain which will not leave a man poorer if he gets it thinking that self is all of life; and there can be no possible loss which will not leave him richer, if ho meets it knowing that life for self alone is not life at all. In tile journey of life the little coupon of individuality is not good if detached from the larger ticket of humanity. "We have so used the word egotism that it has become a bugbear. Yet egotism or egoism is simply the recognition cf one's as a unit. A man's nature Is known to himself only when he Is put beyond himself.

Inner depths are revealed by a light from without. Wortli in any soul is the light which shines from thc ideal which every soul has for itself. And it Is only they who are conscious of inherent and individual worth who can be of any sterling value in the world. Genius is God's gift. Trained and cultivated it may be, but recognized ar.d utilized it must be.

"It seems to bo felt by many that commercialism is so far dominant, that scholasticism has become antiquated; the intellectual is now so decidedly secondary to the practical that tho love of learning Is disappearing. The 'humanities, as the study of thc ancient classics is still called in thc Scottish universities, are disregarded. In our daily press I have more than once read it as having been said cn occasions like thi3 that the practical value of 'higher education' to our young women and young men is now suspected; that It may be really questioned whether, after all, this does not actually unfit many of those who receive it for the rapidly changing conditions of our social and commercial lifo. "Woll, it does seem to be one of the unfortunate effects of our higher education today that It lifts so many, especially among our young men. to a height that is made all the more dangerous to them by being so purely Imaginary.

As loyal citizens of a republic which paves tho way for the poorest from tho primary school through a professional training, it he wants that, wo have no use for an education which looks with disdain upon the industries and mechanical pursuits which are the strength of the land and which make its glorious system of public education a possible thing. The education that America wants is one which, while It gives the prize of wisdom, keeps the love ot industry. "Hawaii and Porto Rico have already justified themselves to tho national conscience and the universal judgment. And the magnificent story of those new born public schools, where a peace established for humanity's sake has followed a war that was wasted for humanity, with their thousands and hundreds of thousands of enrolled children, little and big, in Cuba, liberated from a bondage of ignorance and thereby furnished with a sure guarantee in the independence upon which that Island has entered that story is an object lesson on the value of tho 'higher education' to Its own people, for a land which is only beginning to fill its God given mission to brighten and ble3s the world, as its constitution carries lav, that source of its own national strength, and liberty, that fullness of its own national beauty, over to the islands beyond thc seas where waves to day its starred and striped flag. "Young women and young men.

better tools mean better workmen. Furnished for duty an American scholar, above all scholars, should make full proof of his calling. He is the last deserving of forgiveness, if he fails to champion the right when the right is endangered. Llfrht. freedom, truth, be ever these thine own: LlKht to pee the truth, freedom to make It known: Our work God's work, our wills His will alone.
