Swerdfiger sang, and Morrison I. Swift
delivered the address Of the evening
upon the subject, "The Social Failure Of
Education, and What Hope?" The ad-
dress was study of the question of
education, with the idea of finding out
to what extent 1t meets the social crisis
which the country Is in. The fault
found with education by the speaker
was that it Is, in its higher forms, under
the influence of monopoly and wealth
and out of the reach of the poorer classes.
To carry itself through various difficult
ties the nation relies upon the extent OF
its unoccupied land, its inventions OF
machinery, its church, but, most of all,
upon its education. The schools turn
out men who were not liberal and cour-
ageous enough to force social crises
They are eager for wealth and positions,
which put them essentially in the pay of
monopoly. The higher universities re-
quire immense endowmente which only
the rich can give. A few poor men with
brains are found, but they must serve
the influential. If one of these takes a
stand against wealth he Is put out. Ed
ucation is turning out so many who can
not succeed that they demand a change
In the structure of society. This, said
the speaker, can be had only with equal
education to all. In order to insure this,
there must be no tuition to the higher
colleges. The government, city and
state should own the universities.
The next meeting of the university
will be held in the board of trade rooms
next Saturday night, when 1.-The Social
Organism and the Individual" will be
treated by Rev. r. M Webster.

ONTARIO, April 1S.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) Mrs. ]. w. McFatridge,
who was attacked last Thursday by
would-be robbers, has regained con-
sciousness and made a clear statement
of the case, substantially as follows:
She says that two men drove up to the
front of the house at II o'clock Thursday
morning. They asked If she would give
them their dinner at noon. saying they
had business further up the road. After
some parley she consented and they
drove on. AS they were partially OBJ
scured by the thick foliage between the
house and the road she could not get a
clear glimpse Of them.
After they left she got dinner. Noon
came, but the men did not return, and
after waiting for some time she con-
cluded that they would not return, and
so cleared off the dinner things. She
then changed her dress and went to the
barn to feed some chickens. After do
ing that she went to the house and lay
down on the couch and fell asleep. When
she awoke man was standing near the
couch with red handkerchief tied over
his face and tucked down with his COL
lar. He wore a black suit of clothes
ard had a black slouch hat pulled down
over his eyes.
Mrs. McFatridge was. of course, bad
ly frightened. but she asked him what
he wanted. Not receiving any reply,
she reached for a shotgun which was
behind the couch. When the man saw
the gun he sprang toward her, flourish
ing knife, and wrenched the gun from
her laving IL down ON the floor

REDLANDS

REDLANDS, April 1s-(Regular Cor
respondence) Some one has called Red
lands the City of Churches of Southern
California and anyone who could have
seen the large attendance at the Easter
services today and the very dainty and
artistic decorations and could have lis
tened to the excellent sermons and the
music of an unusually high order would
have thought that the name is well de-
served.
At the Congregational church the
decorations were a profusion of Gala
lilies. Rev. J. H. Williams preached
from the words forty days" comparing
the period of Christ's remaining upon
the earth after his resurrection with his
previous life. Besides the selections by q
we'll trained choir there were solos by
Miss Fitch and Oscar L. Lienau. At the
Baptist church Rev. w. F. Harper
preached ON "The Resurrection as Re-
lated to Christian Life" and Miss Fow-
ler sang Easter Eve" A number Of
persons were baptized and received into
the church after the service. The decor
ations at the Presbyterian church were
especially elaborate. Rev. DR.. Worrall
who supplied the pulpit here for the
past two months, preached his last SER
mon here, upon the subject of Christ as
the Redeemer." He is very strong and
convincing, logical speaker. The music
was under the direction Of Irving H.
Fay, and included a solo by Mrs. Col
Lawton. Chester Birch, the assistant of
Rev. L. w. Munhall, an evangelist who
is holding union meetings here, preach
ed at the Methodist church and also sang
a solo. w. L. Rohrer also sang at this
service. rendering as a solo, Fear Not
o Israel" The decorations at Trinity
church were callas, wild oats, marguer-
ties and bridal wreath, and were very
effective. Rev. ]. D. Easter, the rector,
preached the Easter sermon. Rev o. H.
Spoor preached at the Terrace Congre-
gational church and his daughter-in-
law, Mrs. E. H. Spoor. whose singing Is
always charming, rendered Consider
the Lilies" Miss O'Kelly was the soloist
at Unity church and Mr.. and Mrs. F. B.
Gunther and NJ. F. Pierce gave selec-
tions for cls/net. viola and piano. Rev.
Joseph Cady Allen preached an effective
and eloquent sermon. The M. e. Church
south held easter service for children in
