CORNER STONE LAYING (Continued from first page) inducement to many people to make of it a place of residence, even when the head of the family has been doing business in Philadelphia or elsewhere and has been compelled to travel back and forth daily. In other words Atlantic City's superior school facilities have aided it not only as a resort but has assisted ma- ( terially in making it a suburban residence town to Philadelphia. Any thoughtful observer of the trend of modern life will agree that neglect of the public schools will be a powerful influence in any locality in hindering its growth, and Wild wood has shown its customary wisdom in this matter as in many others. The key to its ; amazing progress is in the attitude of its people as indicated in its ' prompt meeting of its needs in public matters as they arise. An interesting feature of the day was the presentation by , Sherman T. Dowler, president of the board, to the Grand Master, of the trowel with which the cement work in the fitting of the corner stone was done. i • • '•» JUDGE ELDREDGE'S ADDRESS I . i

It is for me, this afternoon, then, to direct my remarks along a little different line from either of those suggested. . I am, however, going to talk education 1 but education in a broader sense than the mere acquirement of book learning and dry facts. Sometimes 1 am bold enough and foolish enough to think that 1 we have misconceived what ought to be ; the chief object of ail schools, that in our quest for book knowledge we lose Ktght of the fact that a man's life does 1 not consist of the abundance of knowl- ; edge which he has, of. the number of ! dates which he can give or the difficult 1 problems which he can solve. There is ; an education which is broader and deep- 1 er than this and concerning that educa-. < tion I want to say just a few Words. My 1 thought, I think, will be best- Illustrated I by telling you a story of what is being i done in another school in another state. 1 Last Summer I had the pleasure of lis- 1 tening to an address by the president 1 of State College. He was telling of the 1 kind of work they were doing in the in- 1 stitution of which he is the head and he i said that the method of teaching the ' boys in his school was best explained by : a motto which was placed over the door j 1 in their assembly room. And that mot- < to was this, "First make the man and ' then the engineer." I want to make it 1 plain that I am not for a moment going ' to depreciate the development of the- < intellect. In fact a development of ipe • intellect is essential if one will make the 1 best of these other elements of which ' I am to speak. I admit the power of ' intellect, I acknowledge its superiority ] over wealth, physical power or brute > force, but a mere intellectualist is not a 1 man. True intellect is one of the elements which enter into the composition : of man. Intellect gives proof that one is fitted for this higher education which I have referred to, the making of the man rather than making the engineer, the making of the man rather than the inteUectualist. I wish then that along with this splendid curriculum which -*hc school authorities have supplied there might be, in the first place a greater degree of self reliance taught to and instilled into the scholars which are to attend this splendid school Reliance upon self is not born with us but 1* a > product of character, almost altogether nurtured by circumstances and strength- •

> ened in its growth by the duties ai-1 , - difficulties of life. Self reliance and self ■ .. control are kindred elements jn life aU'l j 1 1 are essential to success in whatever line 1 our activities may .be directed. Seneca ( I said, "Most powerful -is he who has biinl self in his power" while another j^iilos- , ; opher asks "what is the best form of s s government, and answers, that which • 1 teaches us to govern ourselves." But a ^ ! wiser man than either of these hat s said "He that ruleth his own spirit is , • greater than he that taketh a city." j : For the race of life preparation along ( ; this line is needed. The young man or c i voung> woman who enters it will find ^ • that tne path of self reliance and self ^ ■, control is the only one that leads to sue. j - cess. All other lanes and avenues ar- j j 1 filled, with pitfalls and dangers. He waojj, ;• is dependent upon the Ijelp of others for | ^ , his success is as helpless as a ship upon L ■ the broad ocean with only sails in tne 1 0 ; midst of a perfect calm. With your ac- 1 ^ i quirement of knowledge, my friends, L . bear in mind, then, that your success ! 1 is dependent not upon the knowledge j t ! which you acquire but upon your ability j, ■ to utilize that knowledge after you jhave acquired it. This fact i6 true In t . every walk and activity of life. The ^ . writings of one of our- distinguish \i j, poets reveals to us how dangerous j, ; is to depend upon others. Do you re- 0 r call Miles Standish asking his friend j, i John Alden to carry his suit to the bea;- s . tiful Priscilla and then her answer. The t 1 fact that Standish sent another p 1 a sufficient reason for refusing the ■ proposal. It is when John speaks and s • acts for himself that his purpose is ac- j, 1 complished. p h 1 In battle or business, whatever the game, c ' In law or in love it is ever the same, e 1 In the struggle for power or the scram- t ' hie for pelf, d » Let this be your motto, "Rely on your- s > self." * i: ; For whether the prize be a ribbon or c : throne, t - The victor is he who can go it alone, g I Another source of success in life and t ) one which this school ought to teach if * S it is to fulfill its real purpose in this J k ccmmnnitr is industry. There is no t ' law which specifies a man's employmmt, b ■ or assigns him to this or that post ot^a

toil. There it no azrmngi want of Goo 1 oy which one is to cultivate the earth, t and another to manufacture our g*«- a rata** and construct our dwelling*-. So a law makes obe man a producer and knot her a distributor but Prod|fcnoe ha- I nade labor and toil essential u> so.cess in life. I am aware that sometimes ] a fortune is made in a single day. But 1 such fortunes are exceptional fAd go as 6 easy as they come. The only path to real wealth which a young person can travel with safety is industry. If you 4 will glance at the men who have amass- t ed large fortunes, who have been i-mi ' nently suo*tpful in nommercUl pro- « jects you will find them to: be men of ' correct business habits and untiring c. ' I fort. You will find that they have 1 arisen early in the morning, that they 1 have worked during day and have re- i mained up late at night. Their minds ^ and hands have been busy, their whole , attention has been given to the objects t of thpir pursuit and they have been I suecessfuL Xot only is it true of wealth 1 but it is also true of a good reputa- , tion. Neither can be earned in an hour, j Those men who have secured the esteem ' and respect of the world, as philosophers, I statesmen, and philanthropists, have ( not done so by a single act or by any f short series of acts, but by patient and e persevering industry. They have add- J ed virtue to virtue, one dement of | knowledge to another and by degrees e laid the basis of a valuable character, f And thus must it ever be. If the stu- ' dents who attend this school would ac- t quire property, secure the respect of j mankind and be useful while they live ■ they must do it by patient persevering j industry. Instead of devising schemes ^ of sudden aggrandizement, go to work „ in your calling, whatever it may be and c be aggressive and punctual. Whatever J your business may be persevere in it. { Do not be a mechanic today, a law- f . yer tomorrow and a minister next week, 1 a schoolmaster now and a physician « soon. He who has learned all trades is J good at none. Remember too that indus- ' , try is honorable, and idleness disgrace- I ful. The rich man who allows his ; s wealth to purchase for him exemption f from toil, is a disgrace to his race. He ' c forfeits not only his claim to his for- f tune but to his character and should ji be regarded as one of the drones which • j society is compelled to drag along with j g it. The notion that prevails in Europe ia ' that labor is disgraceful, is a false no- ] e tion and should receive the contempt of | ® all men. The jacket of the mason or a the carpenter, is as honorable as the t broadcloth of the merchant whose ships t are in every port. The blacksmith's hammer is as honorable as the. sheriff's { staff. The busy hum of labor is ta elo- -] quent as the plea of the lawyer or the r charge of the judge. And so all those t men who haye been truly great have * regarded it. Washington was not „ ashamed to acknowledge himself a farm- e er and when his services were requited t by his country he went from the. field ^ the presidency and when his task was t finished he went back to his toil again.

The greatest and best of turn we have found to be men who regard labor as an honor rather than a crime. I have devoted this much time to the discussion of industry for the purpose of : pointing out to you how important it is and how essential to one's success, and , such be true how necessary that public schools place upon it the em- 1 phasis to which it is entitfed. I suspect ; thai in Wildwood as in some other places ' have seen that some possess the idea < that tW chief reason for sending their ( children to school is fqr the purpose of | 1 providing them a way to earn a liveli- ! ( :hood without work. How mistaken tlielj 1 plea and how essential it is that such an j 1 j idea be dispelled from the minds of the ' pupils in our schools. With your acquirements then, you scholars of the f I Wildwood High School acquire the habit is jof industry;' learn the value and the | of honest toil and you are well on the road to success. And you teaeh- : crs and parents get the proper gra-p of | the importance of industry and you will helpers as well a' teacher- indeed. 1 Another branch in education I think j the High School ought to teach, is fru- ! 1 gality. I realize the fact that if there j 1 a contemptible man on earth, one who \ has lost sight of the true design of life, j < one who has no idea of true enjoyment, ' j is the avaricious miser. It Is a sad . sight to see a man heaping uphold only j that he may hide it from sight or from I gaze but his own. It is also dis- j gristing to see. a man who seems do- 1 sirous of keeping all he gets and refus- J the calls of benevolence, denying the y claims of nature that he may retain what j has secured. But as avarice and | covetousness are to be condemned so are 1 extravagance and prodigality. I believe 1 that one of the great social sins of to- ■ is extravagance. James J, Hill has ' said that it* is not the high cost or liv< ing that is troublng us brit rather the -| cost of high living. How prone we are J today to think that every wish must be J gratified, every desire complied gith. 1 are squandered. ev**v year by 1 those who will look back 111 after life : with regret upon the scenes of their | youth. Such habits on "the one hand a to poverty in after life and are the ] basis of many habit* pernicious in them- j I selves. Extravagance is £he parent of i I

around, the work* of waste be- i hold. (. Estates dismembered, mortgaged, sold, Their owners, now in jail confined , Show equal poverty ia mind. And then my friends after this splendid system of education has developed the intellect of ynuth of this community, has taught them to rely upon themselves for their success, has installed fti them the honor, the dignity and the importance of untiring effort and ceaseless industry, ha* taught them to conserve the resources which they hare by frugality and care, I say after it has done *11 this it will have failed of it* highest purpose if it does not instill into those scholars the sacred duties which they owe to the community in which they live, instill in those scholars their duty to promote virtue in their community. Society cannot exist without virtue. It is impossible for * vicious and community to be prosperous and happy. Virtue is the basis of happiness and vice the cause of sorrow. With .communities as well as with individuals the sentiment of scripture true "The way of the transgresis .hard." Hence if you lopk back j) over the history of the past you find nations and communities prosperous and happy just in proportion to the public and private virtues of their peoples. We find ancient republics, while devoted to i virtue, rising in opulence and increae- ' ing in honor and happiness. We behold them increasing their influence; spending their conquests and extending their authority. But in process of time those republics became corrupt, the virtue of their people died out, their temples were consecrated to vime, and their ' altars stained with blotxL As vice increased the bright dream of happiness vanished before its dark and dreadful form, and one by one these nations, the admiration of the world, have fallen into ruin. Their blackened piltheir crumbling- temples, their ruined honor, their fallen greatness alone remain as warning beacons to all coming time. The principle, my friends, re- ' mains unchanged. Virtue is now the ■ of happiness and vice the cause of and the nation or community I that discards that principle will speed- , ily sink into ruin. To whom must a ( community, to whom must a nation look 1 the correction of its dfils if not to . its educated young men and women and | if such be the case how important that these civic duties be taucbt in our 1 schools. Most of us are prone, I'm afraid, to stand aside and let someone else conduct the battle. The great body of the youth who are yearly passing out 'of our public schools into the world I are standing aloof from the great conand leaving their grayhaired sires fight ' alone. They have felt that it did not belong to them to enter the foremost rank and stand out in deof the great principles of right. There is no class of persons in a community to whom a louder call is given enter the field as avowed defenders of I virtue and truth. There is no class of . person® capable of accomplishing more, and effecting the object with more and readiness than they. Should educated young men' and young women of our communities set * their against vice of every description the effect .would be instant and irresistine enect .wouia oe msvant ana irresist-
