27, 
luminating and sometimes vigorous 
consideration to ‘‘Some of the De- 
feets of our Publie Schools.’’ He 
places twenty-one counts before the 
jury of public opinion. He eriticizes 
the method of election of the school 
committee as narrowing and _ politi- 
cal in its effect and often results in 
corrupt arrangements with the pub- 
lishers of text books. The poor 
training given to prospective teach- 
ers is scored and he asserts that 
forty per cent of all the teachers 
have never had professional train- 
ing and that each year from one- 
fourth to one-sixth of the teachers 
are beginners. The ‘‘feminization 
of the teaching profession,’’ the 
chapters considered, and the meagre 
salaries, corporal punishment, co- 
education and so through the gamut 
of the old, old problems. The hand 
of a skilful pen, a studious mind, 
and a well-trained power of obser- 
vation is shown. 
No one will dispute Dr. Hall’s 
place as an educator but even the 
laymen in school matters cannot but 
feel that competent or incompetent, 
the present public service of inter- 
ested citizens on school committees 
is of inestimable value to the com- 
munity, to the schools and to the 
trained superintendent. The politi- 
cal aspects of the question have been 
tried out effectively and most 
thoughtful people agree with his 
position. As an ideal committee he 
would have men qualified by ex- 
perience and scholarly attainments. 
The Workers. 
The toilers of the foundries are 
our benefactors. In the midst of 
irritating gases and extreme tem- 
peratures they are obliged (some one 
must) to toil that the work of the 
world may be done. No one ean 
shut his eyes to the obligations 
which he owes to these servants of 
the people. By their labor directly 
or indirectly, we all are served. It 
is in keeping with a sane sociologi- 
eal program that our state, Massa- 
chusetts, should investigate the hy- 
gienic conditions of factory , proc- 
esses with the view of assisting both 
the laborers and the employers. 
Anything which is of benefit to the 
one must be a benefit to the other. 
Dr. William C. Hanson, assistant 
secretary of the board has made a 
report on foundry conditions. In 
earrying the liquid metal from the 
crucible to the moulds, gray fumes 
are given off, volatilized, and pre- 
cipitated in a snow storm of zine 
flakes. The condition is deleterious 
to the health of the workmen. It is 
encouraging to know that our 
state has taken such an interest in 
the welfare of her workmen. 
If Christ Came to Boston. 
The seventh day adventist enter- 
tains a romantic and in some ways 
an ethical doctrine that at any hour 
Jesus of Nazareth may again appear 
and walk through the streets of the 
occident as he did many years ago 
in the Orient. What a Good Samar- 
itan the Master was himself. If He 
should return what pleasure would 
enlighten the face of Him whom 
men delight to honor and serve as 
He paused to read the warning 
which the Council of Jewish women, 
women of his own race in a new 
land, have posted in every immigra- 
tion centre, for the welcome and 
safety of Jewish women and girls. 
It reads ‘‘Weleome.’’ ‘‘The council 
of Jewish women greets and wel- 
comes all Jewish girls and women 
and stands ready to give them 
friendly help, advice or information 
in whatever way needed. 
Beware of those who give you ad- 
dresses, offer you easy, well paid 
work or even marriage. There are 
evil men and women who have in 
this way led girls to destruction. 
Always inquire in regard to those 
persons of the Council of Jewish 
Women, which will find out the 
truth for you and advise you. Any 
immigrant girl who is found not to 
be virtuous or who allows herself 
to be misled after she comes is sent 
baeck.’’ The Good Samaritan still 
lives. The Jewish women have an- 
ticipated the difficulties. Such 
motherly wateh care of the Jewish 
matrons for their unknown sisters 
is thrilling. 
The beautiful lines of the new pa- 
vilion at Beverly Farms conforming 
with grehitectural accuracy with the 
long sweeping lines of West Beach 
is an honor to the Corporation, a 
eredit to the architect and a pride of 
the village. It seems to belong 
where it has been placed. When it 
is compared with the monstrocities 
on other shores, its chaste character 
is doubly pleasing. When beauty of 
design and utility of service are 
found together, the ideal is being 
approached. 
We may honor the dead and re- 
vere the memory of the departed 
without living in the cemetery and 
transforming the beautiful spring 
into a period of melancholy and 
brooding. You have remembered 
the dead now for life and the living.

Warning. | 
A fortunate young restaurant 
eashier awoke last Thursday and 
went about her work in Marietta, 
Georgia, a poor girl, but Joseph H. 
Choate, attorney, found her and she 
is now the heiress to the weleome 
sum of one million dollars. She is 
her own cashier now. 
The intention of the N. E. Tel. 
and Tel. Co. to place their wires 
underground in Manchester, Beverly 
and Magnolia has the approval of 
the public. Some one has been do- 
ing some good work. 
What a feather it would have been 
in the cap of John Hays Hammond 
of Gloucester, if he had preferred 
to honor the mandates of an Amer- 
a King’s 
Coronation. 
Bangor’s mayor ordered all its 
bar rooms closed. Is not Maine a 
prohibition state? American states 
have not yet solved the liquor prob- 
lem! 
Where does the Manchester line 
end and the Beverly Farms line be- 
gin? Where the good _ sidewalks 
end and the good roads begin. 
Clubs have sprung up in Glouces- 
ter like mush-rooms—there are now 
‘sixteen. The American city still has 
a liquor problem. 
There are some who won’t go to 
the coronation when they ean. 
Thanks, Brother!

most interested. <A little fore- 
thought on the part of all who have 
advertising of this character to 
place, who desire to patronize The

Praise loudly; blame _ softly.—
