An effort is being made to have the

MANUAL TRAINING.

In the Council last night Mr.. Cren-

adopted, providing for the appointment
of a joint committee from that body and
the Board of Aldermen whose duty it
shall be to investigate the feasibility Of
introducing manual training and kinder
garten teaching in the public schools of
Richmond.

ton and its intent, and we sincerely hope
that the committee will make a favora-

Certainly not. 1t is always proper for

to receive such an attention from a
gentleman. In the case supposed the act

a correspondent says that at all three
masses in st. Patriclz's Catholic Church.
at Olyphant, Pa, a letter signed by Dis
trict Board Member Stephen Reap was
read last Sunday, in Which letter he made
ample apology for his conduct OF the pre-
vious Sunday, when he led a body of
strikers from the church because of the
presence Of a non-union man.
We are gratifed at this distance to read
the statement. Upon the occasion in
question this man arose in church and
informed the priest that there was a
non-unon man in the congregation and
demanded that he be put out The
priest declined to comply with the de-
mand. and so the union leader and his
followers marched in a body out of the
church.
Unionism goes to an absurd extreme
indeed when it becomes so intolerant as
that it will not permit a non-union man
Il, sit and worship in the Church Of
God All such exhibitions of intolerance
cannot but do the cause of organized la
