RIIS EXCELLENT LECTURE
GREAT REFORMER WAS GIVEN
AN ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION
AT WHITMAN CHAPEL.
Tells the Story of His Battle for Re.
forms in the Great City Of
New York.

You cannot rob childhood and then
expect manhood to be all right" Such
is the keynote of the life work and
life aim of Jacob A. Riis, the great
Danish American reformer, who en-
tertained a large audience at Whitman
chapel last night, with an account of
his Battle With the Sums
1t was the largest crowd that ever
gathered to hear a lecture in Walla
Walla and Mr.. Riis expressed his
pleasure at interest shown in the Stun
fight out here so far from his New
York home.
President Penrose introduced the
speaker as one of the greatest "Ameri-
great work. Mr.. Riis was greeted with
warm applause when he started to
talk. He is not an orator, although
his command of language is excellent.
One cannot even understand all he
says because of the foreign accent.
yet SO earnestly does he talk and so
honestly that before he is half through
everyone in his audience almost loves
the earnest little man for himself as
well as for the work he has done. He
is an optimist from the word go and
| as he explains in vivid language the
pictures of sunless alleys, filthy rooms
and murderous dens, and then shows
how they have been transformed into
grassy sunlit Fairgrounds by the force
of public opinion and public money,
his audience are forced TO become op-
timistic with him.
He took his hearers by voice and
stereopticon through all that was
years ago. He showed the crime
breeding police stations, the cheap
lodging houses at rs cents a spot the
miserable dark schools with no play
ground. and then in contrast he show
ed what had been accomplished in the
way of reform. Into the sunlight
comes deeency every time, he said.
He closed with a picture of one of
the poorest schools now in New York,
where 400 little Italian children were
taught, but where they saluted Old
Glory every morning with as much
enthusiasm as any American child in
the country.

approve it.
