insmcu who Are Fond Of Scientific
Studies, Hut Are Unable to Pursue Them.
The news from Albany in regard to The
EVENING WORLD Free Lecture bill Is
a source of qualification to all in
terested in the subject of public educa-
ton. As is shown by the interviews
procured by The EVENING WORLD reporters,
there are many intelligent young working
men who have q strong desire to study scien-
tifc subjects. and who are unable TO do 30
because of the want Of facilities at present.
The fact that the Assembly has ordered the
bill to a third reading brings knowledge one
step nearer to all such.
Following are interviews with people in
every station in life:
John Finn, florist, sixty-seventh street and
Second avenue, says that The EVENING
WoRLD's Lecture bill is an excellent thing,
and that q lecture on botany especially, would
enlighten many people who have flowers and
do not understand the care of them.
Lewis M. bennett, o Third avenue clothier,
said: THE Lecture bill is a most excellent
idea-iust what the people want"
William Mari, the artist. of 10 East Four
teenth street, said 90! regard the Free
Lecture bill most favorably. 1t IL by far the
best way of reaching the masses and giving
the poor a liberal education"
The Rev. DR.. Amos w. Lyford said that
the bill had his hearty approval, He hoped
sincerely that 1t would become q law.
Robert Cushing, the sculptor, fayors the
Peter Livechila, the Broadway jeweller,
said my son is very fond Of scientific
studies and reads O great deal on such sub
jects. He has always expressed O desire to
attend lectures, but has been unsuccessful
In his search for free ones. His case 10 only
one of many. It would be the best thing in
the world II a Free Lecture bill were passed
rudiments of science"
James s. Evans, who is employed in one Of
the large breweries uptown, is on enthusiasts
tic advocate of the Free Lecture bill. He is
fond of study, but cannot indulge this taste
| owing to lack of time in the day and lack of
facilities at night.
Franz Vetta, the basso, became interested
when an EVENING ,WoRLD reporter spoke OF
elled much abroad. He said " In foreign
countries the system of having schools for
science exclusively is universal and teachers
we'll up in what they teach are employed by
the governments to lecture to the masses on
scientific subjects. l think it would be the
best thing that could happen should such q
system be organized in this CITY,"
Harry Waite, the advertising agent. said :
II al thrown into the company Of poor
people continually and have heard much
omment on The EVENING WoRLD's action
regarding the free lectures. In all cases opin-
ions have been in favor of it. I have not
heard one unfavorable opinion"

WOMEN INSPECTORS.

The Central Labor Union showed its mag
nanimity by giving q hearty Endorsement to
che efforts of the Workingwomen's Society to
secure an amendment TO the law providing
for six women inspectors of factories.
A bill to this effect Is to be submitted to
the Legislature, and It should have unani-
nous approval. There are needs among the
army of girls and women employed in faol
tories which only q member Of their own
sex could discover. A keen-eyed. warm
hearted, intelligent woman's inspection Is
needed in these places for the safety, the
comfort and the moral and physical welfare
of the female operatives.
As long us women are compelled to work In
factories they are entitled to the utmost pro-
lection.
