Well directed energy is an asset to every modern business or professional man,. without which even the most favorably situated may fail and as an element of success it may be considered of first value. When the men of large corporation select officials for important positions in their enterprises they are very liable to make choice from among those who have demonstrated business or professional energy and enthusiasm. In this connection attention may be called to one of the most energetic, most talented young men in Metropolis--J. Smith Walsh, teacher of piano.
Mr. Walsh is a Metropolis boy by birth having first seen the light here on the 15th day of October 1890. He had always shown musical talents of a high order so his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Walsh, who are numbered among our highly esteemed residents, decided to advance the young man in music, sending him to a splendid conservatory, the Evansville Conservatory Music, where he was thoroughly trained in the art of teaching the piano. He then returned home and has been teaching five years achieving an excelled success and holding the highest regard of all Metropolis people.
The American people are quick to detect the energies and attempts of the young man just starting out on his professional career. When they observe a young man is sincere in his start and that he has the proper preparation they rally to his support and push him along. That's one of the reasons why J. Smith Walsh has made such a noticeable success in his teaching of music here. He is thorough in his knowledge of music and he is also gifted with a vein of patience so essential to a good music teacher.
Mr. Walsh was united in marriage to Miss Anna B. Smith, an accomplished young lady, of Rockport, Ind., in September 1914. To this happy union one son has been born. William Smith Walsh, who is now one year old. Both Mr. and Mrs. Walsh are members of the Presbyterian church and are among the most excellent people of Metropolis. We call your attention to the display as of Mr. Walsh in another section of this paper.
