tiles interesting statement 1t says in

Brahm acharin loses all idea OF the rapid
flight OF time, and yesterday, lost in tho
howery depths of his oratory had the bell
rung on MIN to remind MIN that his
allotted minutes had elapsed.
Each succeeding session finds the hall
more and more crowded. 1t seems a case
of those who have been before bringing
their friends and those friends in turn
accom- modate the crowd, chairs were
ranged to the very front of the stage, and
yet the walls were lined with a fringe of
women-young and pretty, OLD and hand
some and otherwise. 1t was most con-
siderate audience. When Mrs. Swift, the
president of the Women's Association,
came to the front and asked the ladies to
remove their hats there was not feather
tipped head in all the vast assem- biage
two minutes after her request had been
made.
However, it was singularly impassive
audience. But in spite of The reserve
there was tinge of expectancy IN the air.
Every one was repressing all emotions,
saving all their enthusiasm for the even
ing, when Helen Gardener should read
her widely celebrated paper, "Heredity."
The only emotion allowed TO ruffle that
even calm was when Miss Margaret
Sweeney appeared. Miss Sweeney is g
remarkably handsome girl, and if there is
one thing this congress of women ad-
mires it is a pretty creature-sex femi-
nine. There will probably have to be an
aftermath to this congress. in which the
women will have to be taught not to lose
their handkerchiefs, their feather boas
and their purses. There are several of
these articles awaiting owners at the sec
retary's table.

Yesterdays was quite the most uneyent-

gress held thus far this season. There
were no brilliant papers. Each address.
however, showed that the writer was
thoroughly familiar with the subject dealt
with in his or her paper. and, moreover,
possessed the happy faculty OF expressing
themselves clearly and concisely. Many
theories were advanced, but, unfortu-
nateiy, no conclusions reached. There
were nc aphorism, no brilliant episram

THURSDAYS SESSION.
Interesting Papers on Mental Train
ing Read at the Woman's

Mental training was the subject of ali
the papers read yesterday at the Woman's
Congress. All the papers were remark
ably well written, and were followed with
close attention by the large audience as
sem bed.
Professor c. B. Bradley was the first
speaker of the afternoon. Ris paper was
q practical view of ",he study of history
as development OF the heart and I'M
aginstion." Professor Bradley's paper
was in part as follows:
Two distinct things may be propose ed as ends
in the study of history. One is ethical-s dis
clpline OF the heart and imagination-ihe
other is intellectual and scientific. The end
of one discipline is wisdom and character; the
end of the other is knowledge and skill. It
may be 100 much to say :hat these two ends
cannot be pursued together.
The scientific END is possible only for
students OF certain maturity OF mind. Its
higher sweep Is attained only now and then
by some great master. But the other needs no
special eve, no special training. 1t ia within
the reach OF ii who bring TO the study COM
mon intelligence enough to understand the
record and the common interest We all feel in
human struggle and achievement.W
AS for II maturity, it would seem thet there is
something in the very constitution of child
hood aid youth which specially fits these ages
TO receive these lessons OF life; specially pre-
dlsposes them to catch the contagton of Nc Ole
character and heroic action. Heroes there
doubtless are all about US, and no generous
soul ever lived needed TO live without lis
hero-worships. But the impressiveness of the
vision is every thing in this Case. History has
here its special opportunity and advantage.
Nowhere 40 heroes stand on such pedes al
nowhere do they loom up with such imposing
power as wnen seen through the mlsts of ages
a. the end of long vista OF history. All must
agree with me in recognizing the power which
history has 10 uplift the heart and the mind
of men.
There is no worthy living outside of the
great precept, Whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are OF good report, If the re
be any virtue, and If there be any praise,
think on these things"
Mrs. Emma Payne Erskine followed
Professor Bradley with paper on "The
Deadline of Civilization" Among other
things Mrs Erskine said:
The old world moves on no longer with the
stately majestic sweep OF the ages 1t moves
with rush and q whirl, onward, onward and
waiting, never pausing to think.
Poor humanity! Hurrying ourselves on
through our short span oil earthly existence,
eaEer.y looking forward 10 something unst-
tanned, and, when we nave it, casting 1t be-
hind US 10 grasp at something still beyond,
until we are launched into eternity with
never a moment for reckoning the whence,
the whittier or for what.
We stand on the verge of a new entry and
the demon stands beside US. We look back
The San Francisco call., 1897-04-30

ward down the years and see the barriers he
has set up-the walls he has built-and he is
here now to draw The "deadline of civiliza-
tion" at our very feet.
What cares he for human law? He strides
over II and it becomes null and void.
What shall we q o with this great question OF
Cuba, Africa, Russia, Asia? WHAT with all the
crueities OF The day? What shall we do with
the demon who allows all these things to con-
tinue-who has drawn before every civiiza-
ton OF the past the deadlinef
There is but one force that can overcome
him-the law that shall be dispelled in the
wonderful dawning of the light of the perfect
day.
Miss Adeline Knapp's paper. Gust
Mere Literature" was one of the best ef-
forts of the afternoon. The lady's paper
IN Part was as follows:
Education's value OF the individual lies not
not so much in what 1t f Is him to enjoy as in
what II enables him TO be to mis- fellows. Its
but TO help him TO live. We are apt to think
OF culture as something that distinguishes e
man and sets him apart from his brothers; !;
but If culture make fuller life il must GER
tainly manifest in fuller fellowship, in greater
capacity for love and usefulness. Liberal
sympathy, broad interest, clear insight, as
well as wide outlook, are real parts of cu-
ture as mere scholastic attsiaments can pos
siby be.
1t is possible that some of our economic
problems have arisen because in our anxiety
humanity's hopes and fears. joys and sor-
rows, beliefs and disbeliefs wrought into our
universal literature.
The child whose taste receives an early bent
toward the true in literary art will not be
likely 10 care much for the waste of printed
commonplace that we cali juvenile literature.
There are q few modern writer's who have
given US good books for young people, but IL
nearly the whole of the called children g
books OF to-day could be swept from existence
Childhood would be immessuresbly better OF.
Miss Margaret Sweeney brought the
afternoon session TO q close with her paper
on English in Secondary Schools" 4"
Miss Sweeney made an ardent plea for the
study of grammar and English in the
public schools. She urged the teachers in
the schools to give more attention to CON-
positions. and noted that the day when q
com position meant an extract from an en-
cyclopedia had passed. She called aIten-
tion to the fact that correct speech could
not be learned in one day, any more han
composition, and hoped those studio.
would receive the attention that they de-
served at the hands Of our educators.
