The North Shore from the 
to Essex is committed by the provi- 
dence of nature to be a summer re- 
sort. Im many respects there is no 
area of equal size so attractive in the 
world. Nature is with us. This is 
the advantage. But the commercial 
success of this North Shore prevents 
the introduction of any industries. 
A shoe factory, or any other large 
manufacturing plant finds the price 
of land prohibitive. If this obstacle 
to commercial success were not in 
the way, such an enterprise would 
find public sentiment in the summer 
colony against it. This limits every 
possible growth of this shore to the 
one great task of properly caring 
for the interests of the one great en- 
terprise which by nature the shore 
has been fitted. A bank has and ev- 
er will be a first necessity here. Pub- 
lic spirit citizens among the perman- 
ent and summer population should 
do all within their power to help 
maintain the institution. The bank 
should be given the preference in de- 
posits out of public spirit, if not for 
local convenience. The loans will 
be limited because of the absence of 
industrial plants, but there are ways 
which will readily suggest them- 
selves to the business men, whereby 
the bank can be maintained. The 
best interest of the North Shore re- 
quires a bank. 
The question of state aid for in- 
stitutions of learning constantly 
comes up. In Massachusetts a very 
peculiar situation exists. We have 
a number of excellent institutions 
some of them the best in the world 
of their kind. We are wealthy in 
colleges. There is Harvard, Boston, 
Tufts, Clark’s, Amherst, Mass. 
Agri., Wellesley, Radcliff, and oth- 
ers of merit. Many states have been 
obliged to maintain state universit- 
ies. This has been done with great 
suecess by Michigan. In these in- 
stitutions the tuition is free as in 
the public school system. In Mass- 
achusetts, a father faces a situation. 
It will cost his boy $125 at Boston 
University, $150 at Harvard and 
$250 at Technology. The Institute 
of Technology and Boston Univer- 
sity have applied for state aid. This 
will increase the resources of the in- 
stitutions and assist the community 
But our boys must pay 
the tuitions just the same. A strong 
difference of opinion exists. What- 
ever the merits of the cases they 
are not parallel. Boston University 
is an excellent school, but it main- 
tains a theological department for 
Methodist ministers. It is not clear 
that the state has the right to main- 
tain such a religious institution. It is 
contrary to the teachings of history. 
State and religion should be diy- 
orced. If Boston University is sue- 
cessful in gaining the appropriation 
it should be explicitly for the col- 
legiate department. Even-then it 
would be a dangerous precedent 
that would cause trouble. The case 
of Massachusetts Institute of Tech- 
nology is different. 
Strong words only can convey 
the demand that judge appoint- 
ments be left out of politics. There 
are some fundamental principles 
which should be constantly in the 
public mind, the integrity and honor 
of the bench, the separation of edu- 
cation and politics and the separa- 
tion of church and state. Let a 
state fail in any of these fundament- 
als and there are perils ahead.

MANCHESTER 
The Rev. C. F. Hill Crathern, who 
lectured before the Story High 
Sehool Literary Circle a few weeks 
ago, established on January 1, the 
original Children’s Church of Wor- 
ecester at the Park Street Congre- 
gational Church, that city, of which 
he is pastor. It has caused a wide- 
spread movement among other 
churches. The children are taught 
to feel that they are a real part of 
the church. They have their own 
choir, their own charitable society, 
and four boys collect the offering.

them. There are 75.members of his 
“children’s church’’ already. To 
aid them in preparation for member- 
ship, Mr. Crathern has a weekly class 
meeting at his parsonage. The Bos-

had an illustrated article on this 
new neligious departure, showing
