In Speech Before Boston Church
Attendants W. l. Garrison Re-
fers to the Proposed Re-EnaCt-
ment of Chinese Exclusion Act
SPEAKER ANSWERS EVERY
ATTACK ON CHINESE
Resolutions Adopted As a Result
of the Forcible AddresS-The
Chinese Compete With Ameri-
can Labor and Underbid It But
Should Not Be Blamed

Boston. Dec. 19.-William Lloyd Garri-
son presided over a meeting In the Brom-
field Street M. E. Church this evening at
which resolutions were adopted against
the re-enactment Of the Chinese exclusion
act
Besides Mr.. Garrison the speakers were
Rev. ]. M Foster of Boston, Rev. M. R.
johnson of San Francisco, Yong Hay, a
Chinese clergyman of this city, Rev.
James A. Earle and Col Stephen w.
Nickerson.
In the course Of his address, Mr.. Garri-
son said: 1--WE are here tonight as
Americans to protest against America
injustice in dealing with a sister nation.
We cannot forget that our ancestors
themselves were immigrants, with no
prescriptive right to enter this country.
1.-The sweeping objection to the Chinese
is that they cannot assimilate with
Americans; they earn money here and
send it back to China; their manner of
living is inexpensive and they are small
consumers; they huddle together in
great numbers crime and unchastity
abound with them; in short, their intiu-
ence is corrupting and they must go.
'As regards assimilation, 1t is hard to
assimilate with a man who fiourtshes a
bludgeon over your head. The Chinese
earn and send back money to their rela-
tives at home. 80 do many other nation
alities. Why should the Chinese be
blamed for such a natural and kindly
act?
1.-THE Chinese compete with American
labor and underbid It, They were in
reality brought to this country because
American labor could not be obtained to
build railroads and reclaim waste tracts
of land.
1.-THE Chinese live cheaply. That is
their privilege In the old times this
used to be considered a New England
virtue. As regards consumption of do
nestle products 1t has been made a
grievance that they do not patronize the
saloons.
1.-The Chinese huddle together in un-
healthy quarters and form plague spots,
It is asserted. Prosecuted people nat
urally combine and are forced to be clan
nish They swarm In contracted and un-
sanitary precincts because prejudice
closes the door of better situations. I'm
chastity exists. Yes. Where race hos
tility prohibits men from bringing with
them wives and daughters with a. view to
permanent life, what else is possible?
1.-THE question Of civic corruption is too
large to consider In this connection IT is
notorious that United States officials find
heavy revenues in their connivance at
smuggling Chinese immigrants across the
border. The higher the bars are put up
the greater the price of assistance. My
own conviction is that few Cinnamon are
really kept out by our stringent laws"
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-12-20

very hard to get an American young
man to fill the place. They have to so
to Sweden or Switzerland or some
other country to get their experts. 1t
will cost more money to give this In
struction, but the cost per pupil now is
only S26 per year and Worcester
is away down on the list in this re-
cents a day and there are few people
in Worcester who will object to paying
that sum for the education Of their
children.
In closing, Mr.. Carroll said atten-
ton should also be paid to the physical
welfare of the children as well as to
their mental development and he said
a crying need is for a gymnasium.
The question war then thrown open
to the meeting for discussion and B.
F. Carlow said he found fault with the
school system because he has a daugh-
ter IA years old who is being taught
languages and she cannot recite the
multiplication tables.
Horace II. Bigelow said the school
teachers are not working hours enough
to earn their salaries. They put fu
only q little over 3 IA hours day, and
men and women should be and can be-
secured who will work more than that
In teaching the boys and girls some-
thing outside Of the regular school
hours.
Superintendent Carroll made an
earnest defense Of the school teachers
of Worcester and said anybody who
knows anything about their work
knows that It is extremely exhausting
because they are put into room with
between 40 and 50 children every day
and have to give to those children the
best that is in them. And they do give
the best that is in them. The teachers
Of Worcester are conscientious, hard
working and faithful in the perform
ance Of their arduOus duties and they
work hours enough. AS for Mr.. Car
lows claim, he said arithmetic Is
taught the children in the schools in
a different way than il used to be
taught The children are no longer
taught The multiplication tables They
are no longer taught the alphabet but
they know now to read and arithmetic
Is taught in a similar way.
II. A. Mcgowan, Henry F. Harris
and George F. Brooks defended the
school teachers and the committee in
the discussion which followed.
Songs by Frank Keith and Frederick
L. Percippe were yell received at the
opening and closing of the meeting.
and after a vote Of thanks had been
given Mr.. Carroll, the meeting ad-
journed 10 the lower hail. where a light
collation. was served.
The next I'm the series Of smoke talks
viii be given the third Thursday in
January. and the speaker viii be
Charles II. Morgan, Of the Morgan
Construction Company. but his subject
is not announced.

would pay several times that amount.
When the school department reduces
that figure, the teachers put out their
own money to buy the pencils and pa
per for the children.
The repairs cost about $751; 900 and
these figures should not be changed
much. The salaries of the principals
under the ideal system are about $46,-
900 a year while New Haven pays but
$25, 900 and Providence but $4,000 for
their principals.
We have 1900 children in the High
Schools, the largest proportion Of high
school children to the population Of
any city in the world. Ten years ago
we had 776. Then we wanted $40,0 900
for the care of the High Schools. and
next year we will want $4,000. Every
dollar Of the school funds is spent by
q committee Of five men elected by
the citizens as members Of the general
committee Of "a. This committee rs
divided into IL subcommittee, not in
Guiding the High School committee,
and eight of those subcommittee
have the initiative in spending money,
but 1t is all approved by the finance
committee Of five members" All l have
to say about this matter" said Mr..
Carroll us that there are several COM
mittees to do the work It is a COM
plicated way to carry on a big plant"
The superintendent of schools has
some responsibility, hut most Of his
power Is delegated. The superintend-
ent can ring the no-school signal and,
he can transfer a pupil from one
school to another. He has full au-
thority to do these things without be-
ing questioned by the members OF the
committee. Mr.. Carroll then said he
had a free hand I'm the supervision Of
the schools. That is where he is at
home and that is where he can do his
best work That Is where the super
intendent belongs-in the schoolroom;
but, under the great mass Of other
work, 1t is hard to do so. He hoped
his successor would some day have the
freedom he spoke Of and that the
school committee would be organized
on business lines.
Referring to the method Of selecting
teachers for the schools, he said in
this city a personal element on the
part Of the members OF the committee
enters into the appointment Of tho
teachers. The members have con-
stituents to crafty and while many
Of the members try to do the right
thing, more attention should be paid
to the question Of merit. The teach
ing force Of Worcester is excellent,
better than ought to be expected unS
der the conditions surrounding their
selection. The teachers Of Worcester
are pointed to as a competent and
superior corps OF instructors. but IN
der the present system, in which
politics plays a part, the citizens are
not getting their moneys worth.
Speaking Of the curriculum, Mr.. Car
roll said the teachers are not willing
to give up any one study now taught.
They are teaching the common school
branches better than they were ever
taught before and they are adding
studies that viii fit the children for
their work in after life. The element
needed most is to put into their hands
the opportunity Of learning some art.
If the business men Of Worcester want
an expert In their lines, they find it
