DIRECTOR WALKERS LECTURE.
Sights in European C%apitols Described
in School No. @.

En SSAAV0A ~ u
Last summer Director John A. Walker,
of the Board of Education, spent some
time in Europe, and last night to a
crowded house in School No. 9, he told
his audience some of the wonderful sights
he witnessed. The lecture was illustrated
and one of the free lecture course. Mr..
Walker had over sixty views.
He opened with a short talk about the
trip in general, and said that during his
travels he had visited seven countries
and more than sixty different cities. Mr..
Walker is a facile talker. Possessing a
~retentive memory and the rare W of
communicating in an attractive way to
others his impressions, his lecture de-
lighted his auditors. Anecdotes and the
delft touches of a r%aconteur made the de-
scription of the various cities and places
additionally interesting.
Among the views were, of course, the
principal sights in London and Paris, the
magnificent panorama of Switzerland with
its glaciers, crags and passes; the his
tor.c and romantic beauties of the Rhine,
with its never ending legends and the
chains of the Nubian lakes, all were
touched upon and exhibited by splendid
views.
Mr.. Walker received a hearty vote of
thanks for his lecture. Mss L. Roster
played q piano solo and Miss F. Dale re-
cited before the lecture, and at its close
there was a vocal duet delightfully."- sung
by Misses M. Post and E. Guillan.

ment, it shall be lawful for the Board

Here is one:-
An investigation like this makes capt.
tai unsafe and uncertain in this State.
When you have laws which will allow
men in business to be brought up before
committees, as though they were parties
guilty of some horrible crime against the
working people,, you an increase the in
dustries of the State, for men of affairs
won't stand it,
What does Lexow propose to dc with
the American Sugar Refining Company,
anyway? He cannot take away its char
ter. for 1t is Incorporated in New Jersey.
He cannot prevent it from trading in
New York. for the Federal Constitution
forbids any such prohibition. He can
hardly confiscate its property in that
State without due process Of law, and
1t is not easy to see anything that pro-
ceedings to that end could be based upon.
What he can do is to worry it out of
the State. We believe it employs sew
aral thousand men there now. We fail
to perceive how labor or the consumer
IS to be profted by this act.
