 ORIGIN OF THE SCHOOL. 
 
 April 2U?i, 1883. In the Board of School Commis- 
 sioners Mr. Joshua Plaskitt offered a resolution which 
 was seconded by Mr. John P. Poe, and adopted, setting- 
 forth that it is well known that a number of the 
 boys and girls leave the public schools of Baltimore 
 without any knowledge of the mechanic arts or other 
 industrial pursuits, and find themselves at once in front 
 of the realities of life, destitute of the means of 
 earning a livelihood; and that it is known that such 
 boys and girls are unable to apply the principles taught 
 them to practical advantage in life, and that, in order 
 to fit them as quickly as possible for self-support, the 
 subject be referred to a committee of three for investi- 
 gation and report. The committee appointed were 
 Messrs. Joshua Plaskitt, James \V. Bowers and John 
 F. Hancock. Messrs. John T. Morris, President, Henry 
 A. Wise, Superintendent, and Charles G. Edwards, 
 Assistant Superintendent, were afterwards added to 
 the committee. 
 
 On June 19th, 1883, the committee submitted the 
 
 following : 
 
 Resolved, That the Committee on Conference be aiithorized and requested 
 to apply to the City Council for permission to establish a school for manual 
 education for the use of the male pupils of the public schools, under the 
 supervision of the Board of Commissioners of Public Schools, and to 
 request that an appropriation be made for the payment of the expenses of 
 said school. 
 
 October, 1883. The City Council, at the instance of 
 John B. Wentz, Esq., directed the Board of Commis-

 January, 1884. At the instance of Hon. Joshua 
 Plaskitt, the General Assembly of Maryland enacted a 
 statute empowering the Mayor and City Council of 
 Baltimore to establish in said city " a school or schools 
 for manual or industrial training." 
 
 February '21th, 1884. In the City Council Mr. 
 Mahon offered the following resolution, which was 
 adopted : 
 
 Resolved by the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore. That thi' 
 Senators and Representatives of Maryland in Congress be resiiectfuUy re- 
 quested to urge on the President the detailing of an officer from the

 BAl/riMOKE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. 
 
 OBJECT OF THE SCHOOL. 
 
 The object of the school Ls the education of all the 
 faculties : to give instruction and practice in the use of 
 tools, and instruction as may be deemed necessary in 
 mathematics, drawing", and the English branches of 
 a high school course. The tool instruction shall 
 include carpentry, wood-turning, pattern-making, 
 chipping a)id filing, forge work, moulding, soldering 
 and brazing, the use of machine-shop tools, and such 
 other instruction of a similar character as may be 
 deemed advisable to add to the foregoing from time 
 to time ; it being the intention to divide the working 
 hours of the students as nearly as possible equally 
 between manual and mental exercises. This school 
 differs from the City College in omitting from its 
 required studies ancient languages, in giving promi- 
 nence to mechanical drawing, and particularly in afford- 
 ing scientific instruction and actual practice in the care 
 and use of tools, and in giving a practical business 
 education. 
 
 The school does not teach trades. Its aim is more 
 comprehensive : it lays the foundation for many trades, 
 and at the same time recognizes the value of intellect- 
 ual discipline. It is not assumed that every boy Avho 
 enters the school will be a mechanic. Some will find 
 that they have no taste for manual arts, and will turn 
 into other paths — law, medicine or literature. Some 
 who develop both natural skill and strong intellectual 
 powers will push on through the polytechnic school 
 into the higher realms of professional life, as engineers 
 or scientists. Others will find their greatest useful- 
 ness, as well as highest happiness, in some branch of 
 mechanical work, into wTiich they will readily step 
 when they leave school. All will gain intellectually 
 by their experience in contact with things. The gen-
 
 8 CATALOGUE OF THE 
 
 eral result will be an increasing interest in manu- 
 facturing pursuits, better merchants, more intelligent 
 meclianics, more skillful numufacturers, better lawyers, 
 more skillful physicians and more useful citizens. 
 
 RULES FOR ADMISSION.* 
 
 Candidates for admission must present sufficient evi- 
 dence of good moral character.

 ing, spelling, writing, geography, English, composition, 
 and the fundamental operations of arithmetic, as

 denominate numbers, and the extraction of the square 
 and cube roots of numbers. Boys who are members 
 of the City College or pupils of the eighth grade of a 
 grammar or English-German school will be admitted 
 without examination. 
 
 No candidate who has been guilty of truant playing,, 
 or any other grossly improper conduct during the 
 scholastic year, shall be examined or admitted with- 
 out authority of the Committee on Manual Training 
 School ; and it shall be the duty of pi-incipals to report 
 all such candidates to tlie committee for its action.

 Training School shall be re-admitted unless by special 
 action of the committee.

 l^altimore luis been abolished. Tlie fee for non-resi- 
 dent students is ^ri.oO per quarter in advance.

 The Edison current, from the Waterhouse Electric 
 Works, is run through a one-eighth horse power 
 C and C motor. The current can be sent to the motor 
 in any quantity, to its full capacity, by first running 
 the current through a system of incandescent lamps, 
 arranged in parallel, but in series with the motor. 
 The motor is connected with a small dynamo, which 
 gives a current of 4.25 volts and 2.5 amperes through 
 a small resistance. This latter current can be used for 
 plating or other experimental purposes requiring a 
 current of low intensity. 
 
 The Edison current can be used for experiments, 
 when reduced by the above method. 
 
 A voltmeter and ammeter are also connected for 
 measuring purposes, and the subject of electric light- 
 ing can be studied practically. 
 
 The introduction of the current, and purchase of 
 the above appliances, are the most valuable additions 
 the electrical department has received since the or- 
 ganization of the school.

 Ladies and Gentlemen — Ujiou me devolves the pleasant duty of wel- 
 coming you to our sixth annual commencement, which, we hope, will be 
 remembered in years to come as one of the bright hours of your life. 
 
 We are glad to see you here, because of the interest your presence 
 indicates. It is always an inspiration to know that others are interested 
 in the things that pertain to our welfare ; it quickens us to more intense 
 zeal and urges us on to greater achievements. No man liveth unto himself, 
 and the young student finds himself leaning with confidence on those 
 whom he loves and labors to win their approval. While we cannot 
 hope to realize all the expectations you have cherished as you have 
 followed us year by year, it is pleasant to us to have you share in the 
 joys of this auspicious day. 
 
 Our greeting extends as well to those who are simply attracted by our 
 work, for we look upon it ourselves with some satisfaction and pride, and 
 hope it will attest the diligence of the students, the patience and skill of 
 tlie professors, and the proficiency of the system. We have no great 
 variety on exhibition; but one single machine, involving all the complicated 
 details and accurate fitting, the drawing, pattern-making, casting, 
 dressing, polishing, drilling, planing, turning, day after day and week 
 after week — this alone will suflTice to show that wc have not been idle, and 
 that our work has not been in vain. 
 
 We had so frequently heard the remark made that '■'tliat engine'" would 
 never be completed, that with the perversity of boyhood we entered into a 
 conspiracy to defeat the counsels of the ill-omened prophets, and our class 
 signed a pledge to give as much time for over-work on it as we could, and 
 with the brave hearts of our princii)al, and our instructor in the shop, 
 Mr. Richardson, to encourage us. we jjersevered to the end. ''That 
 engine" was the name it bore in mockery, christened by those who took 
 counsel of their fears ; to-day we call it ".I Compound Jfaritie Kngine, 
 Type A, of the United States Navy," and as such it will pass on to the 
 Columbian p]xposition, and thus enter into the history of our country in 
 connection with the greatest civic enteri)rise the world has ever seen or 
 will see till the close of the century. 
 
 The rhythm of its pulse, as regular as a clock beating beneath its heart 
 of steel ; tlii' movement of its arms, as silenl as the stars : tiie polish of its
 
 BALTIMORE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. 57 
 
 face as smooth as a virgin's — these will at once attract the casual observer 
 and repay the study of the skilled machinist. How perfect its form ! How 
 graceful its motion ! How brilliant its polish ! We are well repaid as 
 we read the encomiums from your expressive eyes and ask you to note that 
 such work is not the product of a second-rate school. You will pardon the 
 pride with which we gaze upon our latest work. The steam engine is still 
 the most useful product of human skill, and demands the ceaseless effort of 
 the skilled mechanic and the inventive genius to perfect its detail of 
 movement. It is the conversion of heat into motion, and the minimum of 
 heat for the maximum of power with tiie minimum of weight is our study. 
 When we tell you that one pound of coal will give over 200 revolutions a 
 minute, then you can comprehend the genius of steam and the skill of 
 the machinist. 
 
 But the shop has not monopolized our attention or exhausted our 
 resources. We have completed a literary course as well, not so high or 
 thorough as the future may provide, but to the full curriculum. In the 
 near future we hope to see two years added to the course, so that higher 
 mathematics, thorough calculus, higher physics, thorough optics, sound, 
 heat, light, electricity, may be studied. Our shop is very well equipped,, 
 but not complete: it is really in advance of the theoretical course of study, 
 and yet is not abreast of the times. Electricity has such a broad field 
 before it and such a promising future that we most earnestly commend it 
 to the serious consideration of the Board, that special provision may be 
 made for its study and application to practical purposes. When we read 
 of a railroad train moving one hundred miles an hour by electricity, then 
 we are keen to understand something of this latest motor. 
 
 It may not be in our day that electricity will replace steam, though the 
 tendency is rapidly in that direction; for steam will be used to develop 
 electricity, even after electricity supplants steam as a motor. We know how 
 to make a steam engine, but we do not know how to make a dynamo. 
 Our failures in this effort are the more lamentable in that we have no 
 appliances by which to test our work or to relieve our difficulties. Two 
 little dwarfs found their way to the scientific hospital of Johns Hopkins 
 University, but the question is still unanswered. "What is the matter with 
 our dynamos?" 
 
 In the pride that Baltimore takes, and that most justly, that she was the 
 first of all the cities in the country distinctly to graft the manual training 
 idea on the public school system, let us not be satisfied till it takes rank 
 with the best product of this system. G-ive us the approiiriations and the 
 appliances and then trust us to prove to the world that our school is not 
 intended to teach trades, but to develop men in those particular charac- 
 teristics that are natural and therefore most promising for usefulness in 
 life. A school that touches a boy at all points will soon give an answer to 
 one of the most perplexing questions that burdens the parent's heart, -'What 
 shall I do with my boy ?" Send him to the Manual Training School and 
 he will quickly find his bent; and the manifold duties of the class-room and
 
 58 CATALOGUE OF THE 
 
 workshop will determine to his satisfaction what course in life is best for 
 him to follow. 
 
 We are specially glad to welcome his Honor the Mayor and the 
 members of the School Board. Your presence means more than interest or 
 sympathy with our work : it means hearty co-operation, and, may I not say 
 it, a liberal appropriation. Only thus can we hope to succeed. The oak 
 grows from an acorn, but it needs moisture, light, heat and nourishment 
 to rear its stately head as the monarch of the forest. The scrub oak or 
 black jack will grow, but at what a poor dying rate ! Our plant must 
 flourish, and we look to you for larger provision in the growing years. 
 
 This day is ours, so say the class of 1892, but we wish to share its joys 
 with you all, and we heartily welcome you to the pleasant exercises of 
 our commencement day.

 HONORARY ADDRESS. 
 
 Delivered by Royal R. Duncan. 
 
 No subject at tlie present time is so greatly misjudged as the effect of 
 improved macliinery upon the condition of the laboring classes. Viewed 
 with the eye of the casual observer, labor owes its. present struggle for 
 existence, and capital its wealth and dictatorial })Ower, to the great 
 advance made in mechanical appliances. 
 
 The great majority of mankind believe that the perspective view of all 
 things is the only question that concerns them ; as they see but one side, 
 prejudice and imagination impress their minds either for or against the 
 benefits to be derived therefrom. 
 
 A certain effect is felt, the cause is apparent, while judgment almost 
 irrevocably fixes the mind upon superficial examination. Hence fallacies 
 Arise and spread from one to another until, like some dread germ of 
 ■disease, the very atmosphere is filled with destruction. Circumstantial 
 evidence greatly aids such ideas ; therefore the use of machinery is a very 
 strong cause for the opinion of the many, that as mechanism improves, 
 the demand for labor decreases, and wages become lower in consequence. 
 
 This argument is upheld in mills, workshops and factories when aa 
 improved machine is set up to accomplish the same amount of labor 
 which formerly a number of men were required to do by hand, or with 
 which children may do the work at half the wages of adults. 
 
 From just such results comes the demand from the labor world that 
 law should come to the rescue, to circumscribe the one and prohibit the 
 other; but law-makers are often slow to yield, and more often fail to 
 eradicate an evil drawing its life from unseen and unknown causes. Con- 
 sequently murmurings, poverty, strikes and bloodshed are occurring on 
 both sides of the ocean, and the breach between capital and labor grows 
 wider. 
 
 This subject, still casually observed, will impress the mind that as 
 education contributes to the progress in machinery, it lessens the demand 
 for labor, and calls for a halt in widespread and general education. 
 This seems reasonable; for does not education teach analytical and 
 synthetical knowledge ? Does it not teach minds to reason from cause to 
 effect, and from effect to cause ? It certainly does, and consequently 
 intelligence assimilates and compounds the laws of the material world 
 into powerful and obedient servants. It readily may be seen that to the 
 immediate cause the masses attribute the evils which occur to interfere
 
 00 CATAI.OGUE OF THE 
 
 with their rights and privileges, and increase hai'dshi[), injury, and even 
 destitution in their midst. Whatever else can l)e said, it does not seem 
 reasonable to expect men surrounded by and oppressed with trouble, to 
 look very far from the immediate cause; and woe be unto him that 
 attempts to stem the current of belief by any argument on original cause. 
 
 There are many other surface ai'guments to favor the oj)inion that 
 improved machinery is being placed upon the market in advance of the 
 need of the times ; but all such reasoning can Ije as easily refuted as that 
 already referred to. 
 
 It would be well, perhaps, to take the other side of the question, and 
 ftudeavor to show that other causes have contributed to the present 
 unsettled condition of the times, and that improved machinery is one of 
 the best means by which the laborer can attain health and happiness. In 
 the first place there are two sides to all questions. Any picture will 
 appear dark in the absence of light. Objects seen through certain colors 
 appear corresponding in color, while others change as the angle of light 
 and shade fall upon them. We must therefore conclude that, to judge 
 rightly, every side and phase of the subject should be carefully seen 
 and studied, and conclusions drawn from the whole. 
 
 In the beginning of time the first created being was a man of leisure : 
 idleness or Eve — which amounts to the same — got him into trouble. He 
 was dispossessed of his title and estate and put to work. Xo doubt he soon 
 realized the contrast, and at once taxed his ingenuity to construct imple- 
 ments with which to lighten his labor. That principle which we call instinct 
 in the lower order of animal creation teaches each of its kind to follow 
 jirimal laws, unerring in detail, except education or training which can only 
 be used by the master-hand — man. Man. on the other hand, created in the 
 image of his Maker, was endowed with mind to reason out the effect before 
 beginning the cause; which, if properly exercised, always improves his 
 condition. Perhaps the most apt illustration of this assertion is the effect 
 of Columbus' reasoning. After studying the charts on navigation, which 
 were very limited in his day, and mastering the geography of the 
 known earth and the astronomy of the seen heavens, the existence of 
 an unknown Western Hemisphere was so clear to his mind, that neither his 
 poverty nor the jeers of the learned ignorance of his day prevented him 
 from finally establishing his theory. 
 
 We have had the so-called wise men in every generation: among whonx 
 were the magicians of Daniel's day. and the astrologers of Columbus' 
 day, who were governed by the traditions of the past or the impressions 
 of their surroundings. This class of people exist to-day among those 
 who, seeing poverty in their midst, fix the cause upon the concentration of 
 capital in building large plants with modern machinery; while cai'eful 
 study of the subject will reveal the fact, that if more persons were 
 required to glean with the old sickle than with the power reaper of the 
 present, hundreds of other branches of work require men of skill in the 
 manufacture of machines to a'-;co!nplish a greater amount of work with
 
 BALTIMORE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. 61 
 
 less labor ami at less cost to the consumer. Nor does the burden of sup- 
 port now fall alone upon the head of the family. The children, instead of 
 being reared in idleness, acquire the essential knowledge of how to make 
 ix living in this busy world. In former days the poor alone were bread- 
 winners. It was thought a disgrace to labor. Young men and ladies 
 satisfied their ambition in idleness. Now the wealthy are seen beside the 
 poor, working with head and hand for pleasure or profit, until the few 
 who still exist in idleness are aptly styled, "the drones of society." 
 
 What has the past four centuries done for us ? We have changed 
 laborious gleaning to the rapid and pleasant work of the reaper; from 
 the old wooden to the great steam plow ; from the horse to the Pullman 
 palace coach ; from two months to a six days' journey to Europe ; from a 
 message of many days to speaking face to face. Can it then be claimed 
 that such improvements have not made labor easier, travel more comfort- 
 able, luxurious and economical ? Has it not prevented long sepai-ations 
 from family and friends ? Distance has been annihilated, time shortened; 
 labor has become a pleasure and honorable. Multitudes of avenues 
 have been opened, over which every one may travel and find useful 
 and profitable employment. The lazy and careless are left by the 
 wayside to grumble and ferment over their so-called misfortunes, 
 and the evil that the march of improvement is doing in the world. 
 The network of railroads and myriads of vessels require thousands 
 of trained hands to turn the levers that perform the work, and keep 
 the machines in motion and repair. These in their turn call for 
 thousands of mechanics to build towns and villages where artisans 
 and professions thrive, and social intercourse, so essential to happi- 
 ness, is readily exchanged. Efface all these improvements from the 
 face of the earth. Then turn the multitude of people that are now living 
 out of this second garden of Eden, having nothing but implements— 
 their hands— with which to earn their living by the sweat of their brow, 
 and imagine the contrast. No tongue could tell or pen describe 
 so great a misery ; indeed only those could imagine the situation who 
 have lived among the uncivilized nations of the globe. 
 
 Who among us would complain at our present lot if compelled to live 
 among the ignorant cannibals of Africa, or the Digger Indians of the 
 south, or even the learned sages of the east, where the mechanic arts are 
 at a stand-still. How quickly the cry would go up, " Let me return to my 
 native land ! " This and every land, where intelligence guides the hand 
 to skill and improvement, is blest, and opportunities are open for all. 
 
 The only difficulty, that seems apparent, is the proper knowledge of 
 political economy that would so nicely adjust the inequalities between 
 demand and supply in all the avenues of life. 
 
 Educating the head and hands in unison, and thus fitting the young to 
 become efficient in any branch of trade or profession, seems to be the 
 best, if not the only means to cure most of the evils complained of.
 
 62 CATALOGUE OF THE 
 
 VALEDICTORY ADDRESS. 
 
 Delivered by Charles R. Curling. 
 
 The age, and especially the country, in which we live is one of astound- 
 ing activity, particularly in physical science. "Progress," as has been 
 said, "is a thing of months and weeks, almost of days." The isolated 
 ripples of past discovery seem blending into a mighty wave, on the crest 
 of which we are rapidly being carried towards we know not what. So 
 rapid is our progress that we cannot pause to consider whither we are 
 being carried. What is the force that is giving the impetus to this mighty 
 movement ? It is the same force we find in nature, exerted on all sides of 
 us ; the force that shatters with a touch the giant oak that has withstood 
 the ravages of centuries ; it is the force that, in its milder manifestations, 
 guides the ship in safety to the harbor, or sends the message flying from 
 continent to continent, distancing time itself. 
 
 And now, as this wonderful power is taking such a prominent place in 
 the world of science and mechanics, and, in fact, in almost every pursuit 
 of life, might it not be profitable for us to take a rapid survey of its 
 history, growth and prospects ? 
 
 My address to-night was to have been a valedictory ; but inasmuch as 
 the age and my subject are each progressive, while the usual valedictory is 
 extremely conservative, I trust that my instructors, to whom we are so 
 highly indebted ; the Board of School Commissioners, by whose kindly 
 acts our progress has been made possible ; his Honor the Mayor of our 
 thriving city ; my beloved classmates; and the large audience of friends 
 and visitors, whose radiant faces I see before me to-night, will all pardoi 
 me should I turn aside from the beaten pathway and the time-honored 
 custom of a formal valedictory. 
 
 But why should we say farewell to-night, although eur pathways do 
 commence to diverge, since the genius of the age has wcU-nigli annihi- 
 lated both time and space and transformed them into an all-inclusive now 
 and here ? 
 
 Especially appropriate should such a digression be at this time, when 
 we, fellow-classmates, are about to nuxke our start in life, and are, some 
 of us, pausing in bewilderment at the intricate maze of pathways appear- 
 ing before us, and unable to choose in which one our feet shall tread. 
 
 There arc very few branches of science that were not known, to a greater 
 or less degree, in ancient times, and electricity is no exception to this rule. 
 There seems no doubt that the priests and so-called magicians among 
 the Egyptians and other early nations hail a somewhat extended knowledge
 
 BALTIMORE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. B5 
 
 of electricity and its applications. This knowledge they used to main- 
 tain their sway over the superstitious minds of the people. So zealously 
 did they guard their knowledge that it never went beyond the ranks of the 
 priesthood, and as they gradually faded away their knowledge perished 
 with them. 
 
 The only relic of this former era of electricity is the name, which was 
 taken from a Greek word meaning amber: it having been known from the 
 earliest times to possess, when rubbed, the power of attracting bits of 
 paper and straw to itself. 
 
 For over sixteen centuries all knowledge of electricity was practically 
 lost, only this observation of the attractive power of amber remaining to 
 connect the ancient with the modern science. 
 
 In the year 1600 A.D., Dr. Gilbert issued a pamphlet, "De Maynete,"' 
 in which he showed that many substances besides amber possessed 
 magnetic power. This publication marks the beginning of modern research 
 in the field of electricity. The inflnence that this book had upon the 
 scientists of the time was very much lessened by the unmerciful criticism 
 which Bacon gave it in his "Novum Organum/^ He treats Gilbert's 
 theories with ridicule, and frequently alludes to them as "Gilbert's 
 Fables." This sweeping censure from one regarded as so high an authority 
 as Bacon had the natural effect of materially retarding the progress of 
 the infant science. For more than a hundred and twenty years but little 
 attention was paid to the work ; a few isolated phenomena were noted, 
 and a few facts here and there gathered. 
 
 The theories with which they attempted to explain these phenomena 
 seem to us very ludicrous, although our theories may seem equally so to 
 those who may be so fortunate as to find the true one. One theory was, in 
 the quaint language of Robert Boyle, that "the drawing of light bodies by 
 jet, amber, etc., may be accoinited for by supposing that the steams that 
 issue out of them, when heated by rubbing, discuss and expel the neigh- 
 boring air, and that these electrical steams, shrinking !«ick swiftly enough 
 to the amber, do, in their returns, bring along with tiiem such light 
 bodies as they meet with on their way." 
 
 Among the most noted of the early investigators was Stephen Gray, 
 who, in the progress of his experiments, discovei'ed the possibility of 
 electrical insulation, and also of electrical conduction. 
 
 During all these years, however, nothing of any practical advantage to 
 mankind had been discovered; electricity had been simply a scientific 
 curiosity, a plaything for the students. Tt was not until the year 1745 
 that any discovery was made which promised to be of practical benefit. 
 This discovery was of the possibility of accumulating electricity. The 
 discoverer used a nail inserted in a bottle; this was soon improved, 
 and became what is now known as the Leyden Jar. At last the great 
 force was in a condition to be used to some advantage. By collect- 
 ing large quantities experiments hitherto unattempted were made, and 
 results totally unexpected obtained.

 Up to this time electricity had been obtained entirely by friction, but 
 the inventions of Galvani and Volta made it possible to obtain it much 
 cheaper and in a form much more manageable. Electrical science had 
 now reached a new era, an era in which electricity was to advance to the 
 front lank among the forces in the service of man. 
 
 But it was found that to generate electricity in very large quantities by 
 means of the galvanic lottery would not only be expensive, but would 
 require so many cells that they would be extremely cumbersome. This 
 led to a long series of experiments and discoveries, of trials and failures, 
 which finally terminated in the perfection of the dynamo. "With the 
 dynamo came the great usefulness of electricity. It was then that the 
 electric light was evolved or rather developed. And what a wonderful 
 thing this electric light is I To think that, coursing through the slender, 
 silent wire, solid and apparently impenetrable, is a power which, when it 
 does meet an opponent to its progress, which is worthy of it, it can exert 
 such an enormous energy as to generate heat ami light surpassed only by 
 those of the sun itself ! 
 
 The number of applications to which the electric light may be put is 
 almost infinite. In medicine, photography, and all the arts of peace, it is 
 used to great advantage, and in war, no army is considered completely 
 equipped without it. 
 
 Some one has said that the advent of the steam engine gave that mighty 
 impetus, which, contributed to by succeeding inventions to which it was 
 the prime mover, turned the people's thoughts from war to the fruitful 
 vocations of peace. If this be true of the steam engine, may we not claim 
 Avith equal truth that the advent of electricity has done even more ? It has 
 niaile war impossible or, at least, folly. Valor will be no longer at a pre- 
 mium. In a contest between two ships, the question will be, not which 
 has the greater endurance, nor yet which is the better manned or 
 armored, but simply which will be the quicker in launching and dis- 
 charging its torpedo. Against these terrible instruments there seems no 
 protection ; they can be guided by means of an electric current around 
 any object, and to almost any distance ; the operator meanwhile is con- 
 cealed, and the only evidence of the torpedo is two small sticks which project 
 above the water, and which are visible only when one knows exactly where 
 to look for them, and even then only with the aid of the telescope. The 
 only hope of protection against them is to make electricity fight electricity. 
 Already several inventions have been made to detect their approach by 
 means of an extremely acute telephone to be placed in the water. But 
 even if the imperiled ship does become aware of the approach of her hid- 
 den adversary, how shall she protect herself? This question is still 
 unanswered. 
 
 Time does not jtermit, nor would you probably care to hear a recital of 
 the wonderful development of the telegraph and telephone, which have, 
 within the memory of some here to-night, grown from the mere "fancy 
 of a ilisordered mind " until thev have now so woven themselves into the
 
 BALTIMORP] MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. 65 
 
 very fibres of every Ijranch of activity that it seems we coiiM scarcely 
 exist without them. 
 
 We often hear it said tliat electricity is rapidly taking the place of steam; 
 that in a few years the engine will be a thing of the past. A more erro- 
 neous statement couhl scarcely be made. In what single tiling has elec- 
 tricity taken the place of steam ? True, there are many factories and 
 small establishments where steam was once used and where the electric 
 motor is now in operation ; but if you will trace the delicate wires that you 
 see extending through the wall and up the street, you will shortly find your- 
 self face to face with the faithful old engine, storing up power in hundreds 
 of wires and sending it off to the motors to be converted into work. Elec- 
 tricity is but the efficient assistant of steam. By its means the realm of 
 the engine, instead of being contracted, has been greatly enlarged. The 
 small and noiseless motor can be placed in the office and dwelling, where 
 an engine would be utterly out of the question, and there dispense the 
 energy given by the engine to its machinery. The greatest province that 
 electricity has added to the realm of steam is that of lighting. Before 
 the medium of electricity was introduced, steam had no dominion here 
 whatever; now it illuminates the world. 
 
 And so, on all sides of us, we see evidences of the increasing usefulness 
 of electricity, and, consequently, of the increasing need that our youths 
 should be thoroughly trained in this department of work. Our city was 
 among the first in this country to see the need of a Manual Training 
 School ; shall she not be the first to adopt a department of electrical en- 
 gineering into her public school system ? If such a department be created, 
 surely the Manual Training School is the one in which it should be placed. 
 
 Let us hope, therefore, that before many more commencement seasons 
 shall have passed, our school will be prepared to graduate young men 
 capable of taking prominent places in this new field of action. Thus 
 shall be written on one glowing page the name of Morse, whose first 
 inspiring message, born in Baltimore, sped onward to the nation's capital, 
 and that of our beloved city, nestling so cozily by the great waters of the 
 Chesapeake, and initiating her sons into mysteries more wonderful than 
 those of Hellas, and far more useful. 
 
 Electricity, long seated on his throne in the heavens and scattering his 
 thunderbolts amidst the terror-stricken sons of earth, has been captured, 
 placed in chains, and bidden to take his place as the servant of man. 
 Mercury, with his winged feet, has been eclipsed, for man's voice has 
 annihilated space and time ; night has been transformed into day by 
 myriad lamps ; while art and lalior everywhere are feeling the touch of the 
 captive magician. 
 
 Let us who go out to-night, go forth deeply iinpi'essed with the thought 
 that such an age presents us with glorious opportunities and equal 
 responsibilities. 
 
 Guided by the experience of such a past, and breathing the air of such 
 a wonderful present, let us catch an inspiration that shall cause every
 
 66 CATALOGUE OF THE 
 
 nerve to thrill and every brain to throb with a strong determination to put 
 our shoulders to the wheel of progress. 
 
 Let us not forget that this is an age of stern demand, and that he who 
 hopes to win, must be willing to bare the brow, to train the muscle, and to 
 toil vigorously. 
 
 Climb we may. and climb we must, or wo shall bo loft ignominiously by 
 the way. Xever were the skies brighter, nor the outlook more promising, 
 but never were the demands more imperious. Let us. my class-mates, 
 listen to no false siren, sing she never so sweetly, but let us realize that 
 honor and success can be won only by the brave and the industrious. 
 
 The time has come when we must separate, perhaps to meet each 
 other no more on earth. With mingled pleasure at having completed 
 our course of study, and pain at parting with the familiar scenes and 
 binding friendships, I must say, to instructors and class-mates, to each 
 one, *' Fare thee well, and if forever, still forever, fare thee well."

 BALTIMORE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. 87 
 
 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL. 
 
 Baltimore Manual Training School, 
 
 Baltimore, December 31, 1892. 
 
 Gentlemen : As required by the regulations, I have 
 the honor to submit the ninth annual report of the 
 condition and needs of the Baltimore Manual Training 
 School. 
 
 Number of students on roll December 31st, 1891 370 
 
 Number of students admitted from public schools 181 
 
 Number of students admitted from private schools 102 
 
 Total number in the school during the year 653 
 
 Number withdrawn during the year 245 * 
 
 Number graduated 23 
 
 '"' 268 
 
 Number now on roll -. 385 
 
 Average enrollment during the year 361 
 
 Percentage of attendance for the year 95 
 
 Our attendance during the past year has increased 
 five per cent, over 1891, and our students have shown 
 a greater inclination to keep up with their studies; and 
 we have just cause to feel gratified at the result of the 
 past year's work. 
 
 On March 5th, the eighth anniversary of the founding 
 of the Manual Training School was most successfully 
 celebrated. The sliops in full operation, were thrown 
 open for public inspection from 7 to 8.30 P. M., and 
 then followed an interesting literary and musical en- 
 tertainment, in the main hall, furnished entirely by the 
 students. 
 
 On June 23d, the sixth annual commencement was 
 held in Ford's Grand Opera House. The occasion Avas 
 honored by the presence of His Honor Mayor Ferdinand
 
 88 CATALOGUE OF THE 
 
 C. liati'obe, Honorable Jolin B. Wentz, Cliairiiian of 
 Committee on Manual Training and others. Honorable 
 James H. Preston, orator of the evening, made an elo- 
 quent address to the graduates, dwelling with emphasis 
 upon the great value of instruction in mechanics, upon 
 the variety of paths open to them in the future, and upon 
 the use of an education of the kind received, possess- 
 ing as it does, so many advantages over the ordinary 
 course. 
 
 The twenty-three graduates received their diplomas 
 from His Honor, Mayor Ferdinand C. Latrobe, and 
 the audience was, as is usual when His Honor 
 favors them, highly entertained. Mr. Albert Rison- 
 stock, Secretary of the Alumni Association, presented 
 the "Alumni Medal" to Mr. Royal R. Duncan; Hon- 
 orable AV. Frank Tucker followed with the presentation 
 of the " Saville Steam Engineering Medal " to Mr. 
 William C. Butler, jr., in a fine address of commen- 
 dation to the recipient. The Honorary address was de- 
 livered by Mr. Royal R. Duncan, the Salutatory address 
 by Mr. B. Harrison Branch, and the Valedictory by Mr. 
 Charles R. Durling. 
 
 A six-horse power yacht engine, built by our students 
 from their own design, and a sixty-five-horse power 
 compound marine engine, built by the graduating class, 
 and by them named the " John T. Morris,' ' in honor of 
 the President of the Board, were in successful work- 
 ing operation on the stage, and were pronounced by all 
 to be fine specimens of engineering skill and work- 
 manship. 
 
 A number of the graduates are now pursuing a higher 
 course of study at the different universities and tech- 
 nological schools throughout the country, while l^hose 
 who so desired have secured lucrative positions in our 
 own and other states.
 
 BALTIMORE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. 89 
 
 VVith the apj)roval of the committee, the desks in 
 tlie laboratory lecture room have been removed and 
 opera chairs on raised platforms substituted. 
 
 The double desks in the business course room liave 
 been removed and single desks put in their place. 
 
 We have added to the plant of the machine shop 
 during the past year a 24x24x6 feet, bed-plate planer, 
 an- emery reamer grinding machine, and a fifty thousand 
 pound " Riehle" testing machine ; and have i^laced a 
 band saw filer in the pattern-making shop. 
 
 The vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Henry 
 J. Laessig, Instructor of Mechanical Drawing, has been 
 efficiently filled by the appointment of Mr. B. Wheeler 
 Sweany. 
 
 Realizing the fact that electricity is being used so 
 extensively throughout the world, and the probability 
 of tlie field becoming more extended, and that many of 
 our students are desirous of learning more of it, I have 
 secured from the AVaterhouse Electrical Company of 
 this city, the use of their current, free of cost, and with 
 the consent of the committee have purchased a number 
 of electrical appliances preparatory to adding that 
 branch to our course. 
 
 I would recommend that the name of the school be 
 changed. 
 
 As some of the universities and technological 
 schools do not recognize our diplomas, and refuse to re- 
 ceive our graduates without examination, owing to the 
 fact that we do not teach German. I would earnestly 
 recommend that your honorable body add that lan- 
 guage to our curriculum. 
 
 I liave made repeated efforts to get from those in 
 charge of the World's Fair, an allotment of space to ex- 
 hibit the work of this school at Chicago, but without 
 success. Unless there is an early response, tlie time
 
 90 CATALOGUE OF THE 
 
 vrill be too short to prepare our exhibit. In that case, 
 I would recommend that our exhibit be made in the 
 Maryland state building. 
 
 The success of our graduates in obtaining lucrative 
 employment, and especially good positions as instruct- 
 ors in the different manual training schools and col- 
 leges is truly gratifying. 
 
 During the past year representatives from other 
 states have visited the school and obtained information 
 to aid them in the establishment of manual training 
 in their own cities, and have taken with them speci- 
 mens of our lessons. 
 
 The faculty of the school deserve mention for their 
 zeal and devotion to duty, and their readiness to aid 
 and support the principal at all times. 
 
 To the committee on the school, and the members 
 and oflB^cers of the Board, and His Honor, Mayor Latrobe, 
 I desire to return thanks for their help and kindly 
 
 consideration. 
 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 JOHN W. SAVILLE, 
 
 Principal. 
 
 To the Board of Commissioners of Public Schools,
