Tho Band Concert.

Sumter does not appreciate fret eiass
band ss it should, for if there was present 10
the community the spirit of appreciation
there would have oeen large audience preo-
ept at the coucert last week instead OF the
comparatively snal! crowd. 1t is true that
there is certain sors of appreciation of good
music but this is displayed almost e1clusively
during the summer months wien she b>nd
gives free open air concerts on the Graded
School square. These weekly concerts were
attended lssS sumOer by handreds and the
equars was usually crowded. But last week
the Opera House was aoytbing bat crowded,
aud the fact uas demonstrated that while
many hundrsds enjoy hearing GOOD music,
but few are williog 70 pay for the privilege.
The baod 10 maintAiDed BY the individual
members at An expense of q cash outlay OF
$700 psr year and . great deal Of time is
given up to prsctice. The band is credi, to
the city and if there was the proper amo7nt
of public spirit the people would respond
literally on every occasion that the band
gives a concert ard asks the patronage Of the
public.
The cooeer, LAST week, considered from
musical and artistic point Of vie1 was a
magnificent success. Ii uas one of the best

The band has made such great strides toward

surprise and pleasure to the audieoce.
The best judges of good music soy the

bsod the highest compliments Those who
were prevented from attending the concert
have something to regret, those who did sot
go because an admission was charged should
repent of their parsiuooy and resolve to dis.
play public spirit ae1t time and do their
share towards mainta,oing an organization
that the city capnos sford to lose. There
would be great hue and cry aud an ocean

will come to this unless the community aids toe

her stroGg convictions. Three years
ago she was permitted to occupy the
pulpit in Sinai temple, the first time in
the history Of Judaism that a woman
was allowed to stand in the temple as an
expounder Of the Scriptures. On this
occasion she spoke almost exclusively of
women and their rights and duty to or
ganize for the good of humanity. She
said in part:
1T was necessary for Judaism that
women organize and save the traditions
OF Judaism. The ceremonial beauties
were becoming close book. 1t is our
plan to open it and preserve them.
1T is the Jewish mothers who are
going to save the traditions of the ages.
the prophets and the philosophers of
Judaism. Women are more emotional
than men and religion is the science of
rational emotionalism.
Jewish women have organized for
progress. They want to change the
education OF the three RS to the three
hs-head, hand and heart. The wo-
man OF today cannot afford to live as her
grandmother did.
The hysterical woman has passed
away. You will find her sleeping on a
couch hundred years old and noting
only each passing hour and adding one
to TIE daily calendar. The woman who
thinks and, thinking, acts, has come
upon the stage to take her place.
THE thoughtful woman does not try
to suppress gambling. She invents some.
thing to take its place-provide amuse-
ment better than gambling. and there
will be no gambling problem. 1t is a
poor teacher who destroys and brings
nothirg to take the place of the thing
destroyed. Society can cure most Of
the evils OF the world by ceasing to at.
tack them and providing other things
which shall make the evils stale and fiat
in comparison"
The spirit which breathes from these
concise. strong statements pervades the
organization over which she presdes.
The council has branches all over the
United States and is especially noted
Tor its successful philanthropy. 1t seeks
the uplifting Of umanity through edu-
cational channels, and insists upon
teaching the INDECENT how to become
self-supporting-the only up lifting form

The department OF social science of
the Omaha Woman's clut is devoting
itself this year to the study of social
institutions, with special reference to
local conditions, and having reached tho
topic Of "The Public School, it invited
the teachers Of the city to conference
which was held on Monday. Mrs. Har-
riet II. Heller read a paper entitled
THE Public School: the Theory Of Its
Existence: tia Tendency of Its Pro-
gress."
Mrs. Heller regards the present ten
denotes in the public school as danger
GUS for the following reasons:
Flrst-Methods are too infiexible to
meet the needs of peculiar classes and
individuals.
Second-The school with bad moral
atmosphere is hotbed of social evils
and should be eradicated as a public
nuisance.
Third-The general method tends to
develop drudges. rather than men of
strong controlled powers.
Fourth-There is no parity between
head and hand work. BETWEEN impress
sion and expression.
Fifth-We tend to eliminate the teach
er and her personal influence.
Sixth-The tendency is to turn the
child over 20 the school; that is, to the
state.
She suggests in remedy:
First-Special committees of investi-
cation, vacation schools and special
schools for refractory pupils.
Second-The best of supervision and
the intelligent cooperation of parents.
d-Reconstruction of methods in
primary grades, making instruction less
formal and giving chance for the de-
velopment Of the emotions.
Fourth-The training of the hand to
express the creations OF the mind.
Fifth-Shorter hours and fewer pu-
pills, to the end that the teacher may be
first and teach afterward.
Sixth-Subvert the socialistic ten
dency in education by greater parental
responsibility.
Miss Margaret Mccarthy spoke brief.
ly Of the "Ideals Of the Public School"
The child should learn at least three
lessons in his public school career; that
his rights end where those of others
begin; that man born high in the
social scale may have the instincts of
q boor. while man Of less social dis.
tinetion may be gentleman; that no
one locality has monopoly or an aris-
tocracy Of intelligence.
The discussion was participated in BY
Mrs. McGilton, Mrs. BeIden, Mrs.
Miss Zoos, Miss Lewis, Miss
Cooper, Miss Littlefeld, Mrs. Marshall.
Miss Fairbrother, Mrs. Damon and Mrs.
Andrews. 1t was closed by Superin-
tendent Pearse.

ences they have received in literary
clubs. Mrs. Mary q. Ford says that
her first interest in art was aroused
when she began reading on Greek art,
preparatory to writing paper which
the president Of the Kansas City Friends
in Council had asked her to prepare on
this subject. The research involved in
the work awoke the spirit of investiga.
ton which has since embraced all ages
and schools, ancient and modern. Mrs.

inspiration for literary work in some of
