The Arbella Club. 
The organization of the Arbella 
club in this town is a distinctive 
event 1n local history and the move- 
ment should receive the encourage- 
ment and support of the public 
There is a great future before this 
organization for young girls ana, 
under proper management, it will be 
one of the most effective educational 
agencies of the Town. The Girl's 
club connected with the Baptist 
chureh in Beverly Farms has had a 
prosperous career of over five years. 
During that period the Club has done 
a splendid work for young women 
and it has been an important lactor 
in the life of that Town. Now Man- 
chester has organized a Club along 
broad lines. It is destined to suc- 
ceed. The fieid is broad and the op- 
portunity is great. Now that the Club 
has organized, and the program has 
been arranged, the people of Man- 
chester may well be pleased witt the 
inauguration of the movement. The 
enthusiastic way in which the work 
has been opened by the leaders and 
entered into by the girls themselves 
leaves nothing jto be desired. The 
choice of a name, always a task in 
the organization of any society, is 
particularly felicitous and there is 
no doubt that the noble qualities of 
the great Lady Arbella will be evi- 
dent in the deportment of the enter- 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
prising members of the Club which 
honors her name. 
‘Smoky Joe.”’ 
The baseball ‘‘fans’’ all know 
who ‘‘Smoky’’ Joe is the hero of the 
baseball season of 1912 and the great 
pitcher on the the Boston American. 
team. It transpires that Joe Wood isa 
young man of admirable habits and 
home loving traits and pronounced 
fidelity to his good mother and 
younger sister. These admirable 
characteristics have called forth the 
praise of Dr. Herbert Johnson, pas- 
tor of the Warren Avenue Baptist 
church in Boston. As he views the 
great work done by the young man 
in baseball he asserts that the great- 
est part of his unconscious influence 
upon the young ‘‘fans’’ of the 
country is his upright life and clean 
moral character. It is of no small 
moment that a popular hero of the 
‘‘diamond’’ exerts an influence for 
righteousness. Wood is the type of 
manly religion that Dr. Johnson has 
indicated, and whatever view one 
takes of the advisability or the inad- 
visability of a minister devoting an 
evening to the discussion of the 
ethical qualities of baseball every 
one must agree with Dr. Johnson 
that the community skould be con- 
gratulated that the popular hero does 
not create, by the influence of his 
life, a disrespect for the finer qual- 
ities of human life. Baseball is the 
great American sport. Many men 
have abused the sport but the most 
careless observers must note the 
superior qualities of baseball to the 
debasing character of bull baiting, 
horse racing and motor racing. 
Industrial Advance. 
One of the marked changes which 
have taken place in modern educa- 
tion is the transfer of emphasis from 
the purely classical in educational to 
the scientific and industrial. The 
the battle has been a long one and 
it is not yet ended. The first skirm- 
ishes have been fought and won and, 
however the fact may be lamented, 
the purely classical program of 
study has gone, never to return, as 
the absolute standard of culture and 
education. The demands of the high- 
er school of education have been les- 
sened along the classical lines and 
the call of the practical side of life 
has been responded to the modern 
movement and in one or the other 
may be found practical departments 
of education unthought of two gen- 
erations ago. The school in Beverly 
connected with the United Shoe Ma- 
chinery ompany has already become 
famous. It is a pioneer enterprise 
that wil lexert an increasing influ- 
ence upon the young boys of Bev- 
erly as the years go by. But what 
lias been so valuable in normal life 
has been adapted to the work among 
the abnormal inmates of the insane 
asylumns, rest cure homes and pris- 
ons. The results have been invalu- 
able and it seems quite certain that 
in the very near future there is cer- 
tain to be a remarkable change in 
the treatment of all forms of abnor- 
mality, by means of industrial work 
on the State Farm at Bridgewater. 
Wonderful work has been done with 
the unskilled and, often times, un- 
wililng labor that they have at hand. 
At the present time a valuable ex- 
hibit of the work done by the in- 
mates of the hospitals of the State 
is being held under the auspices of 
the Massachusetts State Board of In- 
sanity at he State Hospital, at Ha- 
thorne, Mass. It is evident that the 
industrial movement in education is 
to prove its value and efficacy, not 
only in our schools and every day 
life of the normal but will be a bles- 
sing to the inmates of the institutions 
for feeble minded, insane and inebri- 
ates. 
The Magnolia Project. 
Progress is heing made at Magno- 
lia and Beverly Farms by enter- 
prises which tend to develop the 
Shore’s advantages. A committee 
was formed by a group of men in 
Magnolia to develop the fifty thous- 
and feet of land which has been pur- 
chased on. Crescent Beach at Kettle 
Cove. Andrews, Jacques and Ran- 
toul have submitted carefully pre- 
pared plans for a casino with every 
provision for the comfort of the 
members. A swimming pool has also 
been planned for. The enterprise is 
not altogether unique as Bar Har- 
bor has a similar enterprise which 
has contributed much to the life of 
the resort. This project, properly 
governed, cannot fail to be a valu- 
able contribution to the life of the 
Magnolia summre residents. But 
such a project should be supplement- 
ed by another civic enterprise which 
should care for the permanent pop- 
ulation. There is an opportunity in 
Manchester, and eBverly Farms as 
well, for municipal enterprises which 
wil lserve to give to all citizens
