THE HARBOR BEACON Well known fact that when a doctor treats all cases of sickness there are some dlseases he had rather treat than others So much for speclalx zatlon Now let us make a hasty surx ex and note for a brlef space some of the men whose l1fe work lS an lllustratlon of our motto Not how much but how well Flrst comes Colonel George VS Goethals who built the Panama Canal Spanish en glneers attempted to bullt the canal and falled French englneers attempted lt and falled American englneers attempted the same task and they also falled Colonel Goethals at tempted lt and succeeded He was fitted for that klnd of work and when the chance came he took It and made hls name known as that of the greatest englneer of hlstorv elther anclent of modern Next we mlght mentlon the Mayo Brothers of Minnesota They studled surgery and now they are consldered to be the greatest surgeons of our country Agaln we may conslder Thomas A Edison wlth Whose lnventlons We are all famlllar get I doubt lf many people have heard thls lncldent whlch lllustrates hls perseverance hls determlnatlon to finlsh anythlng when once he makes the attempt He thus describes his repeated efforts to make the phonograph re produce the asplrated sound From eighteen to twenty hours a day for the last seven months I have worked on the slngle word ISPQCIH specla specla but the instrument resounded pecla P6013 pecla It was enough to drive one mad' But I held flrm and I have succeeded The Wrlght brothers experlmented with a1r ships from the time they were mere bovs At last they succeeded ln bulldlng a heavier than alr machlne and making lt fly One of the brothers IS now dead but the other is stlll giving all h1s time to the work endeavormg to perfect a model whlch w1ll make this mode of travel practically safe Last on the list comes Bernard Pallssey a Frenchman who mvented the process of glaz mg pottery He was unable to find any one to help him 1n h1s work At last h1s resources be came so low that he was obllged to burn h1s furniture to get a fire to heat hls mlxture Then came a time when he had nothmg left in the house but one bed but he declded to burn that and try once more Thls tune he suc ceeded and gave the art of glazmg to the world Thus we see results IH the llfe of men who consclously or unconclsously have used our motto as a life gulde They were fitted for some speclal llne of work and dld what they at tempted so well that thelr names w1ll be handed down to the comlng generatlons as those of great men lxun qui multum sed qui bene Not how much but how well How may we apply these words to our own llV6S? In several ways Flrst we may ascertain what talent ln us IS most fitted for development then develope lt S cond we may determine never to be lead from an orlginal purpose When we attempt any thmg we should st1ck to It until we finlsh it Thlrd always remember that Whatever 1S rth doing at all IS Worth domg well There is a feeling of sadness ln our hearts to nlght as the tlme draws near for us to say the parting word TIS hard to part when frlends are d Perhaps tw1ll cost a Slgh or tear We hesltate at partlng from the dear old school where have spent so many happy hours yet ln a sense we do not part from it for wherever we may go however far our paths may lead us from 1ts doors lts Splflt and mfluence w1ll re mam with us Parents and Friends Tonlght as we pass out as graduates of thls school whlch your generoslty and mterest have provlded we wlsh to express to you our gratxtute for all that you have done for us We reallze that it IS through your efforts that we haxe been enabled to enjoy so many ad vantages As we go out to face the world may .
