ored and efficient member of the club,
were adopted.
The honored guest of the evening
was Miss Margaret J. Evans Dean of
the Woman's Department of Carlton
College, Mortified, Minnesota. The
subject of the address was, THE Church
and the Schools
The address of Miss Etans was an
eloquent appeal for higher moral
standard in our schools A compre-
hensive investigation recently made by
the speaker revealed an alarmingly
small percentage Of children who can
be relied upon to be truthful at All
times, or to be honest in the perform
ance OF duties when not under the eye
of the teacher In general, no syste-
matte training of the moral faculties is
provided, whatever impulse is given
toward honorable living being the re-
suit Of high personal character in the
teacher
Without attempting in the least to
break down the barrier which has
been placed upon scctarian instruction
of the Young, let all classes of society
and particularly all churches unite
upon the common ground Of aiding the
schools TO develop unseltish truthful,
honorable men and women. Here IS
promising field for all those who look
to the product of our schools as the
hope Of the coming generation.
In passing, Miss Evans paid high
tribute to the teachers Of America.
whom she characterized as an over
worked and underpaid class.
The address was regarded as one of
the most entertaining and instructive
ever delivered in Wauwatpsa
From Sentinel May 9: Miss EYaus
spoke Of the need Of iustructiug chil-
dren in morals She believed the
churches Of the land should pay more
attention to the public schools, as the
public schools were the only real ave
nue. Of access to the children Of the
land for the plan Of instruction in
morals she proposed. She hoped to
have the churches and Christian people
use their influence with educators 10
the end that some systematic plan for
instruction in ethics might be devised
by them.
