Y. M. c. A. MEETING.

The Y. M. c. A. meeting was held on the green In front of the United church yesterday afternoon. The sudden show CT which came up about the time for the commencement of the meeting served to decrease the attendance, but as 1t was, there was fairly large num- Der of people present. Those who brav- ed the rain and heard the address by MT. Irvine, the new religious director, were doubtless much influenced and helped by the same. MT. Irvine's man. ner is very impressive and he is sure to make a success of the religious depart ment of the association with which he Is connected. The music, which was of special nature, was very good.
 These outdoor meetings, which have been held every Sunday afternoon dur ing the months of August and Septem- Der, have undoubtedly been productive of good results, as the number of peo- pie in attendance has materially in- creased as the meetings have progress ed

 Cleveland, O., Sept. 15 1898. Thomas w. Mather, Principal Board
 man Manual Training High School, New Haven, Conn:
 My dear sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the copies of your annual for 1898, for which I want to thank you. l have distributed these copies among the members of our board and am making an effort to en- large our manual training school and make 1t perfect and complete institu- tion as yours is rather than to keep it in its present state as a mere adjunct to our High school without any defi- mite end.
 We were all more interested in your institution than In anything we saw of the kind in our travels east. I note what you say about your changes for courses of study in the first year. This indicates that you are progressive, and taking advantage of your experience in your work as you move along. If you should come to Cleveland in the course of the next five years, l hope to show you a duplicate of your excellent school. Manual training, unless made complete system in connection with course of study, becomes a mere plaything. You have set the pace. in New Haven and have shown what may be accomplished, and I assure you, your work will be copied as rapidly as 1t comes to the knowledge of education al boards who are interested in it. You are at liberty to say or use as you see fit any opinion that I may have ex- pressed with reference to your institu- tion. Very truly yours,
 Captain F. A. Kendall, U. s. Army President Board of Education.
