GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
Mrs. Terhune Herriok Addressed
Mrs. Co1lard's Glass ON the Subject.

Mrs. Terhune Herrick, daughter OF
Marion Harland, lectured yesterday after
noon in st. Andrews Room, Grand
street, before Mrs. Brice Collard's
Mothers Class" and a number of in
vited guests, on the subject of Good
Housekeeping"
She told the woman all about how TO
keep a house clean, without always hav-
ing a regular house cleaning time, by cul-
tivating an eye for dirt, removing it as it
accumulated and keeping things in or
der by replacing them after using. She
spoke of the woman who was born tidy
and she who was not. saying that the lat
ter had all the more reason to cultivate
the eye for dirt. .
Mrs. Herrick further said she herself
did not believe in always securing, as
that wore out the person as well as the
letting things get too dirty as this re-
quired more work than was necessary, and
accomplished the same result. You. Will
always do WE'LL" she said, ito save your
selves"
From here the speaker passed on to the
Importance of fresh air in the house, and
especially in the sleeping apartments,
a clean house with the visible effect that
someone then and there got up and
opened a window, and concluded her re-
marks with a few recipes for keeping

Vacation School Repairs.

The plan of Finance Commissioner
Jacob Ringle for repairing the schools is
an excellent one and commends itself to
every right-minded citizen.
Briefly, he proposes that an expert
architect should visit the schools before
vacation sets in and thoroughly examine
them for the purpose of ascertain1ng
what repairs are needed. Having deter
mined this, he proposes that bids 1or
making the repairs be advertised for so
that everything can be in readiness for
beginning the work as soon as the schools
close for the summer.
The advantages of such a plan over the
present system are apparent at once. An
expert architect can be relied upon 10
better determine what repairs are really
needed than an inexperienced layman
as the committeeman for the school gen.
orally is. He can go beneath the surface
and can get at the root of the trouble,
while the committeeman, as a general
lining, JUICES surely ny Whdb Ills ~
on the surface. 1t is true that the SER
vices of an expert architect will cost
something, thus adding a little to the ex-
pense of the repairs; but the benefits
which the city will derive from his en-
ployment will more than compensate for
the additional expenditure.
AT any rate. the scheme of ascertain
ing the needs of the situation early in
advance, and cleaning up all the pre-
liminary work of proposals and contracts
before the vacation season must appeal
to the common sense of every citizen AS
matters go now, the time for reopening
the schools often arrives before the
workmen are ready to begin the needed
repairs.

A rally of the various Christian Endeav-
or societies of the East Jersey City dis
trict was held last evening in the North
Baptist Church, Jersey avenue and Fourth
street. The audience was very good for
a stormy night and an excellent pro-
gramme consisting of music and speeches
ensued, under direction of the committee
Of arrangements, consisting of Messrs.
John G.. Inwright. Frank Nichols, Mrs.
Minnie Owens, Misses Lulu A. Bush and
Bertha Meyer.
Mr.. Willard !. Hamilton of Newark.
Superintendent of the Good Citizens De-
partment. made the address of the even
ing. preceded by Scripture reading by the
Rev. DIR. Morgan, pastor of the Park Re
formed Church,i MIR. John c.. Inwright
presiding.
Mr.. Hamilton. in bis address. cempli-
mented the Hudson County Union and
spoke very feelingly of the recent loss
sustained by the Christian Endeavorers.
There is a lack all over the country Of
Christianity in politics. The battle
ground OF good citizenship in the TWEEN
Gods interest centres where the people
centre, and l think it behooves Christian
women, too, to take more interest in the
government of thec cities they live in thaa
they do. The neglect of Christian men in
politics is due largely the state to which
politics have fallen where men go into
them lOT what tley Gail get OUT Oh OuicS
and not for the good of the citizens.
He then spoke of the saloon as an evil
which he claimed has no right to exist
because the law does not allow the exis-
ence of any business which shall preju-
dice the good of the people.
The problem of the unemployed" con
tinued the speaker, lin all large cities is a
serious problem. Do we realize that the
only thing which keeps us from becoming
anarchists is the next nine meals?' and
then went on to show how much more
guilty was the man who allowed such
things to exist than the man who. having
gone hungry for several days, at last
broke some law and was punished.
In speaking of the church duty in
Christian citizenship. Mr.. Hamilton adj
vised that organization to do something
definite, saying that the church was
sometimes too profusive. that the church
was one of the greatest patriotic or
CARNATIONS known n could accomplish
a great deal toward Christian citizenship,
if It went about it in the right way.

Fooli.h Iusurance Policy.

The simply idiocy of the present plan of
fnsuring our school buildings has been
sufficiently demonstrated of late to war
rant its abandonment. Not a public
school building in the city is insured for
more thar one-third of its value. The
argument by which the policy OF under
insurance is defended is that of economy,
hut it appears to a majority of people
that it went up in flames and smoke to-
gether with the building of School No. 20.
That building was insured for only
s22. 500, and it is stated on competent au-
fhority that the value of the property
was over $4,000, leaving for that fire a net
loss to the city of $4,000.
The members of the Board of Education
declare that it is not responsible for
this state of affairs; that for a long time
they have recognized the folly of the
system and tried to abolish it, but that
their hands have been tied by the Board
of Finance, which has consistently re-
fused to allow them enough money to
pay for the proper insurance of the school
buildings. This is short-sightedness upon
the part of the Financiers. For the $4,000
which the city lost by the fire at No. 20,
the school buildings could have been in
sured for a good many years at their full
value, and the city saved the amount IT
will nave to expend, above the paltry
amount which it received to rebuild the
destroyed schoolhouse.
