one but a criminal can become an Of
fee holder-that all politicians are bad
| Where is the remedy? What am l
to do to remedy this evil? Personally,
can do nothing. 1t would be rash to
attempt a radical reform. But you
women, although you cannot vote, con-
I troll vote of a husband, father, or
brother. You can do much through the
organized effort of women's clubs to
extend civil service reform in all de-
partments Of the government.
| There has been a great mistake in
the method Of educating the youth The
old saying, Educating the mind at the
expense of the morals should be
changed to Educating a small piece Of
the mind at the expense Of the morals
/ The Greeks said the attributes of the
mind were; First, observation and COM
parison, then reason and judgment, and
last, and most important imagination.
Instead of beginning at the bottom and
working up, we have been trying to
cram the child's mind with facts about
which he understands practically moth
| Ing. The kindergarten and the college
are all right. They teach the pupil to
learn things by actual demonstration
for themselves. But the nine years of
grammar grade work are almost as bad
as wasted.
when the slaves were freed we
taught them to be civilized, first by
earning their own living. Gradually
this idea spread to the Indians. Instead
of giving the reservation Indian a
pound of coffee and a pound of sugar,
neither of which he knew how to use,
tell him to first build q house to live in
! instead of a wigwam. Tell him to own
and till a few acres of land, instead of
roaming and hunting rabbits over a
few thousands of reservation acres.
Then why not use the same pro-
gressive methods with our own boys
and by boys 1 always mean girls,
/ too?
"The George Junior Republic is an
example of this method. The boys lit
orally work out their own salvation"
Mr.. Ward spoke at some length con-
corning this experiment, giving an out
line of the work done there, and of the
good results.
| After the lecture an informal recep-
ton was held, when there was an OPP
portunity given those present to meet
Mr. Ward.
/ The next meeting of the club will be
at the home of Mrs William Wood

! It is impossible to adequately de-
scribe an organ recital such as that
given in Mon Church last night Those
who missed the opportunity of hearing
Edwin II. Lemare have missed one of
the rarest occasions that come to lover
lof music The great London organist
held his audience with the magnetism
of his consummate skill, the mag
nificence of his creative power in
way that none but a master of his in
strument could have done. The fact
that Mr. Lemare, organist of ST. Mar
garet's. Westminster, London, England.
is a fellow of the Royal Academy of
Music and has been called great even
by those who had never heard him.
did not quite prepare one for the ex-
quisite truth underneath the simple
statement of the fact. Yet after having
heard Mr. Lemare's "Andantino in A
fiat" his Improvisation and his in
depreciation of Bach and Wagner one
feels the spell of the mans greatness
and hardly expects to find its duplicate
among English organists of the mod
ern school.
The program for last nights recital,
which was the first of a series Of
three, contained the following numbers
given by Mr.. Lemare; Miss Alice NJ.
Eastman, soprano; John H. Howell.

New York yesterday afternoon and re-
