WOMEN N ART.
Woman's Club Studying Under the
Direction of Mrs. Stimets.

The Art Department of the Woman's
Club has mapped out for itself a most in
teresting programme for the study of art
during Lent. On Saturday, February IL,
the ladies visited the private view of the
American Water Color Society at the
Academy of Design, New York, where
also the committee will meet February II,
to study the pictures of the spring exhi-
bition.
On February q or p. Miss Shirley Tur-
ner of Brooklyn, who has charge of the
Art Department in Hasbrouck Institute.
will give an address on 'Modern Art at
the residence of the Chairman, Mrs.
Charles Calvin Stimets, on Crescent ave-
nue., and later, through the courtesy of
Mrs. Henry Niese, the committee will in
spect a beautiful collection of pictures, to
which several valuable and interesting adj
ditions have recently been made, at the
home of that lady. Among these pictures
are some of the best samples of Van
Marck and the Morans.
Then, too, during the forty days Of
social quiet, the Art Department has ar
ranged to attend several pleasant studio
affairs in New York, under the supervision
of Mrs. St;mets.

LITERATURE COMMITTEE.
Club Women Discuss Green
and Froude Yesterday
Browning Class Formed.

SO rapidly and SO large is growing The
Literature Committee of the Woman's
Club that yesterday, at their regular
meeting in room ], Hasbrouck Institute
the ladies decided to apply for a larger
room, as every seat, and a few odd chairs
were yesterday occupied with no super
fuous room for wraps and several mem
bers absent at that. This is probably
the most interesting and social of all the
sub departments of the Woman's Club, as
well as being quite as instructive.
Yesterday the lives and history of
Green and Froude were discussed. Mrs.
Spencer Weart read a very interesting pa
per on Green, giving a biography of the
historians life with and critic
isms, one of which was that he was Of
ten inaccurate in his statement of facts,
but was nevertheless, an excellent histor-
ian, with whose works one could scarcely
help becoming fascinated. The dates of
his birth, entrance to college, exit there
from and death were all given and his
career in the literary world carefully
traced.
Mrs. Weart then read two extracts
from GREEN'S History of England, one
bearing on the labor question and the
other upon taxation, both being especial
ay applicable to the present day and the
situation of the United States with re-
gard to the question of expansion.
At the conclusion Of this paper and
readings he usual discussion followed,
in which much was learned of the au-
thor's private life and many incidents of
interest recited.
Miss Goldman road a nanar on
'Froude," also giving a biography Of
that historians life and mentioning his
books, contemporaries and incidents of
interest connected Herewith, which were
afterward enlarged upon in the general
discussion which followed, wherein his
tory in general was also discussed.
McCarthy's History of Our Times" had
to be omitted, as the lady to whom his
life was assigned was unable to be pres
ent, but that subject will be taken up at
some future meeting.
After the programme there were several
items of business brought before the meet
ing, one of which was the forming of a
class for the study of Robert Browning,
under the supervision of Mrs. Marion
Leland, during Lent, with an overlap
sufficient to admit of ten lectures. These
lectures, or lessons, for with each lee
ture Mrs. Leland will give a lesson in
elocution, are booked to begin IN Monday
next, at the residence of Mrs.
John A. Walker, No. 26O Montgomery
street, at four o'clock, and continuing for
nine consecutive Mondays thereafter.
This class already has a list of about
twenty members of the Literature Com
but is not limited to this depart
ment. any woman, whether or not CON
with any club, being eligible for
membership.
Another piece of business brought be-
the committee was the consideration
Of a topic for next years study and pro-
gramm?, and each lady was requested to
the matter over, letting Mrs. John
A. Walker, chairman, know the result.
in order that the study for the ensuing
might be "congenial to all.

TEACHERS Low PAY.
Supt. Snyder and Director
Mulvaney Say it Should
Be Increased.

Superintendent Henry Snyder was inter-
viewed yesterday morning regarding the
low salaries of teachers in this city
which question was agitated in 1.-THE
News Saturday and Tuesday. He said
that he, has always thought the salaries
paid to teaehers in this city were far too
best teachers larger salaries must be paid.
He said this with much emphasis.
If you will look at my reports for
years back" he said, sit will be seen that
I nave been advocating the increase of
salaries for years. 1t is well known that
the surrounding cities pay much larger
salaries than his city, and naturally our
teachers having these inducements will
leave us. 1 ave always been deeply in
earnest regarding this question and l wish
it were settled"
Director John J.. Mulvaney was asked
his opinion by a News reporter yester-
day, and he, too, spoke in a most en-
phatic manner. favoring an immediate in
crease in the salaries of all teachers.
1T is too much to ask u young teach
ers to teach for a salary of $400 a year
after having spent Ave years of the hard
est kind of work in preparing for the
position" he said. Il would start them
at 5000 a year. and I consider that by no
means too much.
Our High School teachers are paid too
little, and l have always been in favor
of giving larger salaries. However. we
have to go by our appropriations. l am
fully aware of the position in which this
city stand and know that all the sur
rounding cities LAY larger salaries. But
what are We going to do if we haven't
the money? 1t seems as if the city can
not afford to pay larger salaries, but it is
a matter which in my mind should be
remedied Immediately"

Hackeaaack River Front Improve
meut.

Once again there is a bin before the
of our Hackensack water front. 1t IS a
very moderate bill. 1t provides for the
smallest kind of bond issue, and for a
degree of improvement which certainly
viii not be far in advance of immediate
utilization.
The entire expenditure contemplated by
the bill is s175, eoo. The work to be done
IS the construction of one good pier on
property owned by the city to the north
of Newark avenue. Assemblyman Hall,
who is the i%ntroducer of the bill, points
ent that building and construction of all
of the Hill. He argues that the trans
portation of material would give the first
start to the business of the new pier.
the region is so admirably suited
for the location of mills and factories that
only a little stimulation is needed to bring
them there in great numbers. Good
Bater front facilities would especially
help bring heavy manufacturing indus
tries, n there are none which bring
more wealth and population in their train.
The risk in this venture is practically
nothing. The burden of annual expense
to the taxpayers would be infinitessima1
even though the pier should not pay from
the start. The prospects are brilliant for
a new start in industry and prosperity
for the city. The citizens should lend
their cordial support to Mr.. Halls bill.
The city government should endorse it.
Action by the Aldermen, the Finance
Board and the Street and Water Commits
sioners would be appropriate. Mayor
Hoes. also, should use his influence to
aid it.
Above all, the Board of Trade should
work for the measure. President Myron
Furst should bring about a special meet
ing Of the Board, at which a committee
might be appointed to go to Trenton, and
work for the bill.
