Ir 1s significant of the strong un- 
der current of popular sentiment in 
favor of Character Training in the 
ptiblic schools that the representa- 
tives of all classes of religious beliefs 
and ethical bodies are getting to- 
gether to bring about the introduc- 
tion of a suitable and acceptable 
form of moral lessons on the regular 
school curriculum. 
The Character Development Lea- 
gue, made up of men of various 
shades of belief, initiates the first 
national movement in this direction. 
It is under the supervision of ex- 
perienced educators who have ex- 
pert knowledge of the child mind, 
school methods, requirements 
and opportunities. Through the 
gvenerosity of a number, of public 
spirited individuals there shas been 
and 
prepared for free distribution to the 
public schools of this country a 
series of Character Lessons easily 
adapted to the public school me 
thods which is believed to be the 
most efficient and practical method 
of Character Training yet. devised, 
for it teaches by Example. rather 
than by precept. It. embodies. the 
principle of Imitation, which is the 
most potent of all influences that 
can be brought to bear upon the 
child mind. 
This instruction is no less needed 
in the home. It is the problem of 
hundreds. upon hundreds—What. is 
to take the place of the old fashion- 
ed religious teaching? The Systema- 
tic Method of teaching, that right 
should be done because it is right 
and which turns morality into the 
concrete form of habits, provides 
parents, possibly untrained in religi- 
ous thinking and teaching, with the 
easy means of laying the solid found- 
ation of morality, which will sup- 
plement the efforts of the public 
school teacher. Moral training is 
necessary for every one for the pro- 
per development of character. 
This is a great movement. It initi- 
ates a means for elevating and puri- 
fying the whole country, fully as im- 
perative as colleges and universities. 
It is so important and vital to the 
‘ nation that the Character Develop- 
ment League feels justified in asking 
the co-operation of all thoughtful 
men and women—the wellwishers of 
the race—to assist in its propaganda. 
The Breeze is willing and glad to 
lend its columns to assist the move- 
ment and will publish these Charac- 
ter Lessons once a week serially dur- 
ing the school year. It certainly 
seems the part of wisdom that an ap- 
parently practical. system of Char- 
acter Training with such credentials, 
and obtainable without cost, should 
be introduced in the schools of our 
North Shore towns.

last shopping day is Saturday, Dee.

ments will include strengttian inom to) 
bridges, heavier equipment, ¢ 
cially in locomotives, improvement 
of road. bed, lowering of grades and 
to some. extent strengthening of 
curves, besides changes of a more 
general nature. e. 
In view of the magnitude of ‘the 
prospective changes, these will be — 
made _ slowly but. systematically. — 
Meanwhile improvements will be 
centered at points of the greatest 
need, including new tracking at 
Lynn, electrification of the Hoosac — 
tunnel, betterment of rolling stock 
and. heavier rails. Particular atten-— 
tion. will also be paid to the future — 
improvement of running time be- 
tween New York city and southern — 
New England at the one a 
and the White Mountain resorts on 
the other. — a 
The changes will be under the 4 
personal direetion of President Mel- 
len. 
The riser trip, it is stated 
showed the Poston and Maine lines 
betw'cn Bosren ana. Port! and and | 
Boston and Concord, N. II., to be — 
in first-class condition. The rest of 
the system inspected, while proving — 
to be, well. up to the old-fashioned — 
standard, was considerably below 
the carrying power of the up to date 
standard lines, 
President Mellen will devote his 
time to the B. & M.

The out-going tide Monday left 
high and dry on the rocks of South 
Shoal, near Mystery Isle, the two- 
masted schooner, Mary Brewer, 
bound from Bangor for Salem. Late 
in the afternoon the schooner at — 
high tide was pulled off the shoal 
by two tugs, and was towed into 
Salem harbor. She was badly 
strained and was leaking consider- 
ably. Rockland, Me., is the Brew- 
er’s home port. She was _ heavily 
loaded with lumber.
