ASSOCIATED CHARITIES MEETING.
Interesting Remarks by Various Members
Great Need of Industrial Education
Gift Recently Offered to Our City Should
Not be Withdrawn.

The Associated Charities held their
monthly meeting on Monday last and
after the transaction of the usual routine
business discussed the great need OF in
dustrial education.
The discussion WAS opened by Rev. T..
Southworth who spoke of the obligations
resting upon parents to see that their
children were taught TO do necessary
practical work and to do it we'll, boys
and girls each in their proper line. The
one who determines to do his BEST makes
himself necessary to his employer.
Mr. Geo. H. Babb gave an interesting
paper showing that manual training de-
yeIopes the powers of the head and hand
at the same time. 1t creates desire to
make something thus strengthening the
will, teaching patience and perseverance
and helps the boy to find out his ca pa
bilities. He cited boy OF IL who FOUND
school irksome but becoming interested
in the manual training room his ampl-
tion was aroused and he went to WORK
with will and Is now about entering
the Maine State College. His father
said, "Mr. Babb you have saved my
boy
Mrs. White put in an earnest plea for
the girls-thought boys and girls should
be taught together. She spoke with much
enthusiasm of her cooking class at the
Fraternity rooms. The number of dishes
the girls have learned to cook and have
made at home is quite surprising, plain
wholesome, nutritious food, and their In
terest was shown by every one being
present on the night of the big storm.
1t is not strange with "a teacher whose
work lies SO near her heart
Mr.. Zenas Thompson spoke of the idea
of some that manual training was teach
ing trade, whereas it is o means OF de-
yeloping every inborn faculty thus fitting
boys to do something when through with
school. He also spoke of the incaloulable
benefits derived from sewing and cooking
schools.
Mr., Dean. teacher in the Vacation
school OF Cambridge, which was started
by the Literary Union and Associated
Charities, and is open to 200 children six
weeks in summer, said: 1t helps the day
school, saves from idleness and bad habits
gives the boy chance to put his energy
into something and he becomes interested
SO that though the attendance is not COM
pulsory the average is 81 per cent. The
salvation of society is in improving the
young and it will react upon the home.
Miss Taylor, principal of the Manu-
Schools Deaf and Mutes, very much ap
preciated the manual training depart
ment recently added there. Twenty
benches we'll equipped with first class
tools. A shoe makers bench where repairs
of shoes for 70 pairs of feet are accom-
plished by one of the pupils Eand print.
ing.press lately given by Mr.. Geo. E.
Dow. The girls are taught sewing and
household duties.
Remarks were made by different mem
bers of the association and an earnest de-
sire expressed that the munifcent gift
recently offered to our city should not be
withdrawn for want of appreciation,
while we realize SO fully what it would
do for the coming generation.

A TRIBUTE TO MR.. MURRAY,

The following from the Washington
Capital will prove interesting to Mr..
Harvey Murray's many friends IN this
city. The paper says:
Mr.. Harvey Murray has all Washington
at his feet When hundreds of people
left their calling, the matinees and
teas on Saturday afternoon and focked
to hear Mr.. Murray play the organ, it is
time to stop and wonder. Two hundred
people could not get in and they walked
away in small catches. very much dis;
gruntled Mr.. Murray is we'll worthy the
attention he has commanded. 1t is all
right to say: "He is a cultivated mu-
sician" but he is more than that, he is
an artist, and he learned the most of his
art from Sherwood Besides art, he has
temperament and ideas of his own. The
fact is, it was born In him. In his pro-
gramme of last Saturday. three numbers
stand out prominently in one's memory
Offertoire in B fiat by King Hall;
Chopin's Funeral March. and the Finale
from D minor Sonata by Guilmant. His
playing of the Funeral March left moth
Ing to be desired. 1t was delicious. Miss
Nola sang with Verdure Glad" and
My Kedeemer and My Lord Mr..
Murray'a beautiful accomplishments
must not go unnoticed. They were de-
lightful. He is as good pianist as ne
is organist

Portrait and Slipper.

a touching anecdote, associated with
picture III the National gallery at Ed
inburgh, is told by an English lady in
her book, "Potpou-ri From a Surrey
Garden" She writes:
Several pictures stand ont with pecul-
lar interest, especially the life sized
GainsborouGh Of the young Mrs. Ora
hame. She sat for the picture as q
bride, but before it came home she was
dead, and her husband had gone to the
wars.
When he came back, he never had the
courage TO open the case which con-
tanned his young wife's portrait. On his
death, many long years after it was
painted, it was opened by his heirs,
and inside the case was the little white
slipper she lad lef5 with the painter to
help him 10 finish his picture.
The portrait was given to the Edin-
burgh gallery, and the slipper was kept
by the family.
