Entered at the Poet Office at Salt Lake City as in full in The Review for this week, on first and second pages. Second close matter . SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1897. Every person interested in the educational system of our city should take an active interest in helping to elect as members of the school board only those men and women who are the best informed individuals on modern school methods in the city. Do we realize how much of the character of the next generation is determined by school boards ? Such questions as the kind of teachers to be employed, the text books to used, the sanitary conditions Qf the buildings and the play grounds, and the methods employed in the schools are all under the direct control of the school board. The business problems which the board must consider are the least of the duties of the modern school board. It is absolutely necessary that the members keep in touch with the latest methods as presented by educators through the leading educational journals, and only those persons who realize the great and lasting good of education are capable of planing the school system in such a way that the characters of the pupils will be uniformly developed along all lines. ' The editor has received the calendar of The Monday Club, of Webster Groves, Mo., which is a dainty booklet in the club colors, green and white. The years course of study is in Spanish history, science and education, social economics and current events and literature. The opening of their club year is November ist, and the adjournment June 13, 1898. It has a membership of 54, and 52 of the members are on the program for a paper during the year. . The utter breakdown of prohibition in New Hampshire is now confessed, even by its most earnest advocates. Testimony to the fact which is of the highest importance was furnished at the convention of Baptists at Manchester last week. The whole subject of temperance was discussed at length, and the result was the adoption of resolutions which declare that we view with consternation the influence of the saloon in our state, and regard it as a nuisance which ought to be suppressed; and that we note with great sorrow the open violations of the prohibitory law in our cities and towns with the evident permission of our commissioners, mayors and police officials. Nobody attempted to deny that this statement as to the wholesale violation of the law was entirely true, and if it is true, it would seem as though the most fanatical prohibitionist must soon see the folly of keeping on the statute book a law which cannot be enforced, and which results in free rum. N. Y. Post Work for Children at Hull House, Chicago. Among the many lines of effort that emanate from Hull House may be mentioned the work among children who find here an ever-sunn- y haven. Addams has toiled over the problem of child labor, and has helped greatly to enforce the law for compulsory school attendance up to the age of sixteen. The spirit of thrift is fostered by the penny provident bank and the savings bank. The kindergarten and day nursery are filled to overflowing. Forty healthy children enjoy the advantages of this latter at the modest per capita charge of five Miss cents. The best loan exhibitions of pictures are eagerly anticipated and enjoyed. The college extension courses are largely patronized, and the Chicago Public Library has a branch nearby where the student finds all the books Rockford College he may require. opens its doors, also to provide accommodations for the Summer School, which is always well attended. The gymnasium and athletic classes are so popular that there are always many waiting their turn for admision. There are also music classes, and Sunday afternoon free concerts. The drawing and modelling classes, too, are important factors in the The art department has an work. appropriate home in the Butler gallery, where tasteful furniture and good of the worlds art treasures present attractive instruction. Miss Starr, who presides over this department, seems inspired by the dicta of Ruskin and William Morris, All To each man great art in praise. is due the solace of art in his labor. These are the corner-stone- s of her work. She strives to open wide the eyes of her pupils to the best and highest in the world of art. She has a complete collection representative of the various schools of painting, and her lectures on historic art are well attended. In these she endeavors to show how labor is essential to morality; how much better it is to live than to merely exist; and how the true and beautiful are factors which work for pho-fograp- hs good in every life.
