BRILLIANT SCENE AT CONVENTION HALL Addresses by Commissioner Ross and Representative Springe AMID FLOWERS AND MUSIC Not since the departure of Moody and Sankey from this city in March last has spacious Convention Hall contained such @ vast multitude as crowded its interior from end to end, from wall to wall, last evening. Probably never before has such @ gathering been witnessed in Washington, being composed, as it was, of many of the leading citizens of the capital of the United States, as well as of almost every state and territory in the Union. And a pietur- esque sight it was, that sea of smiling faces, for everybody appeared happy. Long before 8 o'clock each of the 7,000 chairs held an occupant, and hundreds of per- sons were standing, and glad enough to be allowed that privilege. The annual commencement exercises of the High Schools of Washington, the Cen- tral, the Eastern and the Western, was the reason for the assemblage. The class of ‘94 was about to bid farewell to its alma mater, and the audience in attendance at- tested fully the popularity of the schools mentioned. Midway on the west side of the hall, facing east, was situated an fm- mense platform, containing a dozen or more rows of elevated chairs. Lining the front and sides large and beautiful palms were banked in profusion, while on a table in the center of the stage was massed a number of fragrant bouquets. Above, covering the steel rafters, wi in immense field of cloth composed of alternating stripes of blue und white, the High School colors. This was edged with festoons of vari-colored bunting and national flags, the latter also being jung in plentiful array in all portions of the auditorium. Directly over the center of the platform was seen a huge monogram composed of the letter “W" constructed of ferns, and the letters “H" and “8” and the figures ‘04 of white immortelles. The full Marine Band was located directly in front of the stage. The Entrance March. ‘While the audience was being seated by a corps of efficient ushers, consisting of Mr. W. H. Von Bayer, chief, and Messrs. French, Williams, Light, Sites, McGill, Will- lars, Mason, Jolly, De Silver, Weeks, Church, McKee, Dowell, Yount, Alcott, Lindsay, Kraemer, Tisdel, Brown, Auer, Ridgway, Molkow, Graff, Barker, Heaton, Berry, Young, Bogan, Leetch, Ausley, Townsend, Julihn, Kent, Gover, Hood, Hot- tel, Shilling, Farral, Weisner, Smith, Whitt, Claudy, Brock and Hatton, all of the junior class, Congressman William M.

We have looked to this city to find a proper method of instruction in order that the whole country can look to you, and I congratulate you that our ex- pectations have been far more than grati- fied. You have thousands of instructors to teach the young ideas how to shoot—and wee some fi them ha: guns for that purpose”—referring to the High School Cadets. Practical Education. “Four thousand young girls have been taught to sew, 2.200 now know how to cook a meal of good victuals, 500 have re- ceived a thorough business education, while the manual training school, I think, is one of your chief institutions, and you may rest assured that those who have attended | that school will never belong to the army a uner ployed.” @ Speaker expressed the hy that he might have the pleasure in he oer fu- ture of voting in favor of largely increas- 4g the number of school buildings in beingmm 1p and i. trusted that each ne woul Provided with a kind Then he talked at some length tm taver of such schools for the little tots. Mr. Springer ref to the days when Commissioner Ross and himself were school boys in Iili- nois. All the branches taught at that time were reading, writing and arithmetic, and they had no high school buildings, but merely one-room log cabins. “We are now living in an advanced age,” the speaker went on to say, “and although you haven't got Socrates for a teacher, you have got a Powell, and he knows more than Socrates did. The Commissioners of the District of Columbia, who have given so much of their time to the schools, are de- serving of the thenks of the entire com- munity; the board of trustees are entitled to your unbounded gratitude, for they are working for the public good, without com- pensation; the superintendent, the super- vising principals and the other officials have also each acted well their parts. You young people are about to go out into the walks of life, some to pursue higher studies, but the great majority to at once begin the active duties of life. You heve been acquiring knowledge, and Solomon it was who said “Wisdom is the prin: thing.’ I say it will bring you honor.” The Diplomas Awarded. The “Marine Band March” followed, dur- ing which several of the young ladies pre- sented the bouquets, which had been lying on the center table, to Mr. Springer, Rev. Dr: Shippen, Trustees Whelpley and Bowen and Commissioners Ross and Trues- Gell. At the conclusion of the musical se lection Mr. Ross announced that Commis- sioner Truesdell would present the diplo- mas to the graduates. The latter, as they were carried on the platform in a huge tray, resembled a miniature forest. Each was tied with blue and white ribbons, with “"94" stamped in gilt on the ends. As Principal Lane called the names of the Central graduates in alphabetical order each arose, received a sheepskin from the hands of Mr. Truesdell and marched off the Principal Sites called the names of the graduates and Miss Wes- cott those of the Western. Nearly every young lady and gentleman received an ove- tion as he or she came forward. As the last name was called the band, for the second time during the evening, played the “Eastern High School Cade’ March,” the audience slowly Gispersed, the grad- uates gathered up the flowers that had been sent to them, kisses and fond farewells of "94 of the seen the las® Central School.
