Fuller presented the diplomas in a happily
worded and graceful speech. At the banquet in
the evening, he responded to the toast of '' the
educational value of music,'' and Mr. Dolge de-
livered an able address in response to the toast
of " a business man's view of our schools."
The entire occasion was a very enjoyable one,
and was participated in with evident pleasure by
Governor Fuller and a large number of distin-
guished guests.

ville Herald says:

form a combination strong enough almost to
defy the most powerful elements of adversity.
Education teaches industry, first, how to avoid
obstacles; and then how to overcome them, if
unavoidable, Industry in turn supports the
education that enables it to accomplish so much.
Just as capital and labor work together har-
moniously in Dolgeville for the advancement of
their mutual interests, so do education and in-
dustry. In this respect Dolgeville has advanced
far beyond most of the industrial communities
of the United States, and, therefore, of the world.

gets cooler at least.
