DIR. JOHN CLARK'S LECTURE,
Relation of Art Instruction to Indus
trial Problems.

DIR. John L. Clark, of Boston, treasurer
of the American Statistical Association, de-
livered lecture at Plymouth Church last
night before the members of the Citizens
Educational Society. Dr. Ciark's subject
was 1.-The Relation Of Art Instruction in
Our Public Schools to Industrial Prob
LENS"
The lecturer asserted that the modern
schoolhouse is becoming a great social
force in the up-building OF the country. Its
greatest function is that it is laying its
hands on every child. 1t is the duty of the
citizen to aid in presenting through the
public school the best ideals of the race and
through proper instruction teach the chill
dren to understand them. Or. Clark spoke
particularly of the industrial branch of the
public school. 1t gives the child versatility
that is of lasting benefit and is certain to
be felt when the pupil grows up and goes
into employment.
LAS we deal with these children in the
public school we inevitably benefit our
selves" the speaker asserted. we want to
learn that it is not only the children we
benefit by this uplifting, but society itself
AS an illustration of this DR. Clark re-
ferred to d story written by Bret Harte en-
titled THE Luck of Roaring Camp child
was born in rough mining camp and its
mother gave up life soon after It's birth
The miners, a wild. set of men, undertook
to bring up the child. In ministering TO the
little waif they were brought in contact
with the innocence of babyhood ana as a
result the rough camp was lifted to a
sWeeter and purer atmosphere OF thought
and deed. In closing his remarks DIR. Clark
spoke of the central thought of his lecture,
which was that education IS the develop
ment of the art of arts. After Or. clark S
talk there was general discussion of his re-
marks.
