The Portland daily press., 1874-03-26

The Conference opened yesterday with an
essay from Rev. Mr.. Lord of Berwick. His
subject was "The value of true minister of
talk by live old man.
If all the old men in the Methodist Confer
ence had the fire of this man we are confident
that the raw zeal of youth would not be so
eagerly sought after by our churches. A dis
cussion followed.
Rev. Mr.. JOHNSON of Portland, claimed that
it was not youth that the church wanted, but
the fire, warm love and energy that often ac-
company youth and that an old man with
young heart and an old head will always be
sought by earnest churches.
Rev. Mr.. Munger of Alfred followed. He
said that too many of our ministers perform
their duties in perfunctory professional man.
ner. These he considered the bass,of the fault
found with old ministers.
Rev. Mr.. Jones of Portland, said that anoth-
er trouble was the tendency in our churches to
separate the young from the DID, by forming
young peoples prayer meetings, making class
leaders of young men, pushing them to the
front in religious meetings. He urged that
this tendency should be curbed.
Rev. Mr.. Pitblado of Portlond, said the fault
was mainly that ministers too often stopped
work at middle life, and that the churches
grow away from them.
The discussion showed the heartiest SYM
pathy between the old and young ministers of
the conference. At the close of the discussion
the roll of the churches was called.
The reportsshowed that the contributions for
the Preachers Aid Society had hearty doubled
those of last year, while the other contributions
showed gratifying increase. Great religious
interest was reported from Bddeford, and
Congress street, Portland, and general interest
in most of the other churches

A HOUSE OF CoRRECTIoN.-There is praise
worthy movement on foot to utilize the time of
the convicts at the County Jail. The inspec-
tors of jails and County Commissioners have
had the matter under consideration and have
had conference The chapel of the Jail can be

The shoe manufacture is the branch of Idus-
try which will probably be pursued. Sheriff
Pencil visits Auburn to-day to inspect the
manufactory there. The County Commission
ers of Penobscot and Cumberland visit Auburn
shortly to study the working of the industrial
system there. 1t works to a charm, and is
highly commented wherever it has had fair
trial 1t is hoped that it csn be introduced here
very soon. The Prison Commissioners, VIM.

yesterday, and afterwards held conference

the establishment of an industrial department.

The PORTLAND INDUSTRIAL. EXHIBITION.

THE PORTLAND INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION
This exhibition will be opened on Tuesday,
june 9th. next, at the City Hall, and continue
two weeks or more. When the exhibition
was first projected it was supposed that the
City Hall would supply all the loom required,
but the large number of applications for space
convinced us that in order to display the full
extent and variety of Portland industries under
one roof, we needed very much larger quarters
than any building in Portland could afford.
With that view we made some efforts for a
building on Lincoln Park, suitable for this and
other occasions requiring large space. but
after the most careful consideration, and some
consultation with members of the City Gov
eminent, we have concluded that, this being
the first exhibition of the kind, and therefore of
necessity partially an experiment, and the time
being too short to fix upon the best plan for
large quarters, it has been decided best not to
attempt the construction of a large building
this Spring, but to use all the room the City
Building will permit. We shall therefore be
somewhat restricted for room; but will endeav-
or to: give all exhibitors part at least, of the
space applied for, and we desire that every
manufacturer in Portland should be fairly rep
resented. All therefore who desire to exhibit
are earnestly requested to send in their appli-
cations at as early day as possible to M. A.
Blanchard, Cor Secretary. room No s, City
Building.
The committee will soon publish full pro-
gramme for the exhibition. Fully believing
that this exhibition will prove to be one of the
most fortunate occurrences for the interests of
the city that has ever taken place, we earnest
ly solicit the assistance and cordial cooperation
of all our citizens

Or. Ed. Eggleston lectured on Tuesday eve
ming to full house at Gorham, on the German
system of education for children, as set forth by
Froebel, originating indeed, with Pestalozzi
and Roscean IN the last century. In an easy
and discursive way set off with much humor
and pleasantly, he gave us the pecularities of
that system, as based on just apprehension
of childhood and appropriations of its tastes,
gifts and wants. This theory puts education
on the line of true nature. as found in children,
and of its proper development.
The kindergarten method starts with an at
tempted analysis of child-nature and tastes;
assumes that the early tendencies are normal,
and makes education conform to them.
The lecturer went into full and free analy-
sis of this method and its treatment of chill
dren in the first steps and stages of life.
The lecture would bear to be expanded into
book. 1t. no doubt, will be sometime the
system it sets forth is unquestionably the true
one. The generations hitherto have embarked
upon life to great disadvantage, from misappre-
hension of what childhood is. what it is for,
how it should be handled, treated, guided,
helped.
The lecture was an easy alienation between
the descriptive and the didactic, touching now
playfully, and now gravely on the subject,
which has somewhat of the aspect of novelty,
but must be acknowledged to be of the gravest

-Four Persons Burned to Deaih.
NEW YORK, March pa fire in a tenement

Streets broke ont, and all efforts to extjnouish
the flames proved fruitless. The adjoining ten
ement house was also burned to a mass of rnh
bish During the progress of the fire man
was seen at third story window with child
in his arms. Finding the fremen could not
reach him. he safely jumped on the roof of an
adjoining building, and having left his child in
safety made every effort to return to the rescue
of his wife and three other Children but it was
of no avail. The fire and smoke were too dense
and the unfortunate woman and children per-
ished in the flames.
The scene among the poor tenants was of
most appalling character, men, women and
children rushed frantically about in search of
friends, the most part of them being almost
naked. 1t is believed that the woman and
three children are the only victims but so great
is the confusion and excitement that but few
particulars can so far be ascertained
None of the bodies have yet been found, nor
does there seem any likelihood, inasmuch as
the buildings are one mass of burning rubbish
and ashes
