THE FUTURE SOHoOLHoUsE.

A suggestion made by DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler of New York in q recent
address that pablic schoolhouses ought 10
be made the centers of the intellectual life
of the neigh borhood has been cordially
commended by the press of that city, and
it is pro bic it will be carried out to some
extent during the coming summer. This
is the beginning OF another phase in the
evolution in the American schoolhouse
and tends TO increase its usefulness and
widen its scope of service to the COM
munity.
DR.. Buffers idea is that, as school,
houses belong to the public, the people
should be permitted to use them for all
purposes which are not political or re-
ligious. so far as such use does not inter
fere with the conduct Of the schools. The
idea Is not altogether novel, as several
school buildings in New York have been
opened during past summer vacations 10
a society which provides instruction and
entertainment for the people in the local
ity, but the new movement would go be-
yond this simple beginning by opening
the schoolrooms and lecture halls for all
literary, artistic, scientific, or debating
societies which are at all public in their
nature and would not DO injury to the
building.
1t will be seen that this movement,
carried TO its full extent, would make the
neighborhood schoolhouse some thing of d
civic center. a general gathering place for
all who sought any kind of intellectual
occupation. 1t would be a place where
lectures, concerts, debates, recitations and
md ~ all 1 81
other evening after evening from the be-
ginning to the close of the week. In short,
each schoolhouse would be g little univer-
sity settlement, and wouli include in the
scope of its service 10 :he community
everything which tends to the diffusion OF
knowledge and the increase OF culture.
On all sides we see evidences of this
widening of the use of the schoolhouse
AS the church has begun TO develop an in
stI.utional church in which arrangements
are made for many services not included
in theology or strict definition of re-
ligion, so the schoolhouse has been grow
ing beyond its original obiec: of provid-
ing q place where children are taught
reading, writing and arithmetic. In our
age the period of study does not END with
childhood. Men and women are continu-
ally reaching out after new truths and
new ideas OF old truths. A demand for
room for adult education has grown up,
and ChautGuqua circles, university extern
sion clubs, civic centers and university
settlements have come forward 10 meet
the requirement.
Where are these various classes OF stu
dents TO meet? In what edifices of our
cities are rooms ana halls for their needs
to be provided? The new institutional
church is wide, but it is still too narrow
for such expansive claims as the growing
culture of our people puts forward. wiz
the public schoolhouse provide il? or are
we to establish a new institution among
rs and erect in our cities something like
the gymnasia of ancient Rome and Atu-
ems, where al. people can gather to recre-
ale themselves, to exercise, to listen to
music, to hear and to tell something new
every day?

in conflict with the laws OF interstate and
foreign commerce.
The State recognized liquor as bev-
erage; and while seeking monopoly In
supplying such liquors, il could not con-
stitutionully forbid or hinder com merce In
such liquor between its citizens and those
of other States.
As a result Of the dec ision the California
dealer may deliver his wines in original
packages, and this means considerable to
the wine-makers Of this State. The South
Carolinians, when it comes to question
of good wines or liquors. have the reputs-
ton of knowing a good thing when they
see it, and the reopening OF that market
for our superior California product will be
exceedingly satisfactory to the many who
are identified with one of our most prom
isinR industries.

GOOD MARKET RBOPBNED.

The South Carolina dispensary law has
received its deathblow through a decision
of the United States Circuit Court This
attempt TO completely monopolize the
liquor traffic OF a State was a unique and
remarkable experiment, if nothing more
II created discussion and has been viewed
with much interest all over the United
States. 1t closet up all the grogshops of
South Carolina and created dispensaries
where pure liquor was sold according to
State regulation. The State purchased its
liquors in the open market, and only
through the agency OF the State could
liquors be sold. The law went so far as 10
restrict the importation of liquor in orig.
inal packages "for personal use or sale OF
such original packages within this State
for use in the State" This was the fatal
flaw in the bill, and the case in which the
decision was rendered declaring such re-
sirictions unconstitutional was brought
by Californian in reference to a seizure
OF California wine shipped to Charleston,
5. G., in original packages. He contended
that he had right to bring liquors into
the State. establish warehouses and sell
from such establishments original pack
ages for personal use.
In its decision the court declared the
right of the State TO prevent the manu-
facture or sale of liquor within its borders
and to exercise police powers. but MAIN
tanned that when the State recognized and
approved such manufacture and sale OF
liquor as beverage by engaging in it for
profit 1t precuded the idea that such sale
is considered injurious to public welfare.
1t was not the lawful exercise of police
power TO iorb the Importation of such
liquors or their sale in original packages
for personal use and consum ption, as such
prohibition under the circumstances was

NEEDED NOTHING BUT WINGS:

The Chicago Tribune tells this story of the
Mississippi floods: An old darky was met by
one OF the relief expeditions. Uncle Eph was
in a.dilapidated looking skiff or dugout, which
he was having considerable trouble to keep
afost. He was busy padding with one hand
and bailing out his craft with the other, when
the relief boat came within hailing distance of
him. 1t was on the outskirts OF a Will age to-
ward which the old man evidently tryin e
to make his way, when the captain of the re-
lief boat called to him:
Hello there, uncle! What do you waEt?''
Nothing but wings, boss,' was the answer,
and the old man and his skiff were soon astern
of the relief boar.
