Rudolph J. Taussig, regen ho University of California, presided The Lick School orchestra was to supply an excellent quality of instru- mental music. The exercises began with praver by the Rev. C. L. Sanford of St. John's Episcopal Church. The orchestra played an overture. Miss Ethel Clark and Milton Clark performed a piano duet Then the address of the day was delivered by John McNaught, who-was rewarded the applause of the entire student body f the school.

It in allusion to that fact that Emerson sald of the hands that rounded Peter's dome and groined the alsles of Christian Rome, “They buflded Wiser than they knew The conscious stone to beauty grew VALUE OF HAND WORK. That saying is literally true of all great hand work. No man has ever reached ihe limit of the skill of the fingers. The hand has wrought marvels in the .past, and will work miracies in the future; and consequently any man who has acquired one of the handi. craft arts and learned to use his hand and his eye, whether he be a worker in metal, wood, cloth or clay, has acquired a faculty of which he may be juetly proud and in which he ought to rejoice. 1 am not going o speak to you of the work of your various crafts and trades, for of them you know more than I do. Even If 1 were skilled in any of them I would not speak of it now, for you have had much instruction and experience of that kind in the schools and will receive more every day that you ply your trade. It will be better worth your at- tention if 1 speak to you not of work but of the things that are better than work; the things for which we work and whose accom- dos was 10 | ur tools sharp and clesn and you know h man must look after his own w, itest of all the tools with wl r mind—that wonderful nishes the hand with fpower to A genulne recreatig some- brightens, sharpens increases do thi, the efficiency of the mind, and, accordingly when one emplovs his leisure in recreation he | | does the opposite of dissipation—he bullds up and ases his force and turns his asure and his rest to profit recreations in which you are to fina employment for your lelsure are not to be ch termined for you in a large measure by your sen as you will or wish.

After 1 left school T was sent to read law |in the office of an old man who had prac- ticed most of his life in a small town, where {he bad but little business to attend fo. He emploved his own leisure in studying men, and did that with so much success that his neighbors deemed him to be the wisest man | that ever lived since Solomon. On the after- noon when 1 first went to g2 him he Invited me to etay to tea, which I did. He watched me as I stirred my tea, and when I had | finished he said, ou must train yourself to e more in other people. You are lacking in social instincts.’ As he had never seen me until that after- noon, and as 1 had been trying to show my- self full of sociability, I was naturally seur- prised by the statement, and asked why he thougit me lacking in sympathy with other people. I know it,”" he sald, ‘‘from the way you stirred your tea.” He then went on to say that In studying men he had formed a habit of noting how they acted in the Iittle things of life and on comparing those actions with their lives as a whole he had come to the conclusion that character is revealed by trifies just gs clearly as by great things. ““There are,”” he sald, “‘just three waya of stir- ring a cup of tea. It can be stirred by moving the spoon with an outward curve from left to right, or with an Inward, curve from right to left, 'or by moving the spoon back and fortn across the cup.’ Observation had taught him that men who ewing the spoon away from them are men whose thoughts and energies go outward to soclety at large. They are men of wide asoclal sympathies if they have money they desire to circulate it; if they read & book they cannot rest until they have told somebody about it; If they make a new friend they wish to introduce him to every other friend. Always their activities are di- rected outward from themselves to the public. The man who stirs his tea Inwardly from right to left is a self-centered m: He can acquire money without having a desire to spend It; he can read the most Inte book in the world and feel .no Inclination to talk about it to any one; he Is well satisfied to have attained wealth and learning and feels strive to round yourseif out so that you wiil ;| in right proportions have respect for your- self, sympathy with the big world and devo- tion to your work. You must not. then, give | all your lefsure labor to your falent. You must give some of it to the thing you do not | like to do. Cultivate the soctal side of life on the broadest scale. Cultivate also your own personality and maintaln every right that belongs to you. Give to your work the best | service that is In vyou, WORLD IS HUMOROUS. Whatever be the recreation that delights you, aim at the highest enjoyment of it. Bear in mind that you live in a world that is for- ever trying to degrade you. A great German poet, Schiller, says: “Wit wars with beauty everlastingly,” and the saying is true, The wits and the humorlsts of the world, and es- pecially those whose jests appeal most to the masses and raise the readiest and the lgudest laugh, are forever deriding all that fs noble. Every fine poem has been parodied into absurdity; every beautiful . picture has been caricatured into the grotesque; every pure, melody has been jigged into ragtime. The very'reverences of the home bave been mocked into laughter by very funny storles and pic- tures of children Who make a laughing stock | ot _their parents Such things serve a useful purpose In the world; we must not make a tragedy of life; there are times when it is much better to laugh than to do anything else, but you must not let your humor dissipate the finer facul- ties of your mind nor deprive you of the higher and more lasting pleasures that will be yours if you will seek them not in what is funny. but In what is graceful, beautiful and noble Finally, remember that one of the recrea- tions that will do much to keep your mind clear and keen, ready to prompt your hand to its highest work. is right reading. Read the lives of those handicraftsmen who have wrought great things in the world and who are remembercd after death. Read the story of Hugh Miller, who was a stonecutter, who spent his leisure studylng the structire of rocks and so became one of the world’s great- est geologists; read of Pallssy who was a potter making the rudest kind of earthe: ware, but who by studying in his lelsure hours the arts of the ancients. learned at last how to make the most beautiful pottery and so became one of the most honored artisans of the modern world; read of John gFlaxi Who was & molder of ordinary. pldbter casts, but who by rightly using his lelsure hours developed both his mind and ‘his hand so that he became the greatest designer of sculptura that England has ever produced, The story of these and other great crafts- men will help you in many ways in your work and in your life. You will learn from them how it is that handicraft arts are superior to all possible mechanism, inasmuch &s a ma- chine can never do more than malke some Kkind of a fabric, While @ handicrafr if rightly studled and practiced ‘can transform an ar. fisan into an artist Whom a whole nation honors, DIPLOMAS GRANTED.

Sihe LA WORK OF SCHOLARS SHOWN TO VISITORS Admiring Throng Follows the Time-Honored Custom at Lick School. LL day yesterday the hospitable doors of the Lick School swung open to a crowd of visitors who came to see the work of the boys and girls of the school that was placed on exhibition, according to annual cu tom. The school course ranges from the ordinary English, German and French linguistic studies, free and mechanical drawing, history, etc., to the production by machinery and by hand of tools, ma- chinery, models in metal. and even to dresses and pastry. Here is sufficlent va- riety and scope of effort to make inter- esting an exhibition, ‘and such was the show supplied to admiring friends and rel- atives of pupils and the public generally yesterday. Work was largely suspended. The boys | and girls were present in numbers to ex- plain to their friends everything about the school. During the evening the Lick School orchestra, composed entirely of boys attending the school, rendered se- lections. There was no formal reception and no exercises. The graduation of the senior class will not take place until next Monday evening and set exercises are re- served until that time. ‘While the work of the boys of the school was scattered in the several de- partments and in the classrooms for ex- hibition the girls who are taking dress- Saunders | | | \ &0 praise of the work of this school in me- chanical and fine arts.

HE exercises of the graduating class of Cogswell Polytechnic College took plece last evening In the college build- ing, at the ‘corner of Twenty-sixth and Folsom streets. Auditorium Hall was packed with friends of the pupils, who lis- tened attentively to the followlng pro- gramme: Plano solo, Miss ; Ve “Hefore the Dawn, A x.cumlf”:fm'fl?s to class of 1903 by George W. Dickie, manager of the Unlon Ircn Works, and vocal solo, “Whisper and I Shall Hear,” Miss Queen ‘Wilson. The address by Mr. Dickle consisted of a simple and practical talk upon the sub- Ject of “Self.” He said in part: Many people come Into the world with the idea that the world owes them a living—that is a mistaken idea; they come into the world in debt, and it depends upon each individual self to get himself out of that debt and make his own distinctive mark. There is no empty place in the world awaiting anybody or any. thing. Take for example the great battleship Oregon. There was no place made in the water for her; she simply went into the bay and made a hole for herself, and has kept on making her way and forcing herself forward until now. she has become the queen of the navy.

In the spacious rooms on the first floor handiwork of the pupils was exhibited, the different departments all showing ex- cellent results. The woodwork exhibit at- tracted a great deal of attention. Here were displayed samples of almost every kind of articles for practical use, many of them being of novel and clever de- sign, from a simple ping-pong bat to an extension dining table and hand carved sideboards. o The sewing exhibit was very fine. Ev- ery article of feminine apparel was dis- played and all show skill and clever workmanship. The cooking sehool showed up to excellent advantage and displayed delicacles of the highest eplcurean art. Clay modeling and drawings, both free pand and mechanical, came in for much praise. The next term will begin Monday, July 27, when the new president, George B. Miljer, will be installed in place of Dr. Barton Cruikshank, who has resigned. ——————————— FRESNO, May 29.—W. T.
