~ nIron1ANr MEETING.

Under the auspices OF the Rich
mond Education Association. Profess
sor Charles zueblin will address the
Century School in the auditorium of
the John Marshall High Sctoo next
Friday evening. Admission VIII be
free to all. Every citizen who is in
terested in the welfare of the city and
in the progress of the schools should
make 1T a point to be present. for what
this distinguished speaker will have to
say will have a direct, practical bear
ing upon the problems which the citi-
zens of Richmond are facing. TIL
auditorium ought to be filled to the
overflow with people from all walks
of life, no matter what their occupa-
ton or station, for what Professor
Zueblin will have to say will interest
equally all classes of citizens.
one of the most striking movements
of the past half century has been the
tremendous growth of cities. This has
manifested itself in every part of the
United States. In Virginia in 1861,
for instance. only six per cent. of the
population inhabited cities; in 1910,
more than thirty-three per cent. is
10 be found in them. The total city
population of Virginia in 1861 was but
5000, while to-day Richmond alone
contains almost twice that numbe of
people.
correspondingly, the simple problems
of the village have, suffered a swift
transition into the complex questions
of the city. The government of cities,
the administration OF the various
municipal agencies, the reconstruction
of public institutions to meet the
problems OF this day and time-these
matters are of vital interest to all the
people.
The school problem is one of the
greatest in the modern city, Theories
of instruction and of the purpose OF
the school nave undergone changes
that in some aspects are well-nigh
revolutionary. The significance of the
school in its relation to life and to the
progress of the community is being
realized as never before.
What should our schools be? Along
what lines must their future progress
be directed? What kind of schools shall
we have? Shall we improve our schools,
or shall we let them drag along as
they are? These are some of the ques-
lions which Professor Zueblin will
touch on Friday night. The Richmond
Education Association canno do its
work alone. 1t should have the sup
port of the people of the, city, and the
people should hear the address on Fri
day night in order that they may gain
a more satisfactory and complete un-
derstandingtof' tho school problem.
The SPEAKER on Friday evening is
no lyceum lecturer, He is an indie
pendent agitator for the common good.
Eloquent. forceful, practical, he is
master of his subject without a peer
in the country. In many places where
he has spoken, he has sown the seed
of progress in city schools, and it is
TO be hoped that he Will do so here,
and he Will do SO if the citizens Will
do their duty n hear his address.
1t is to be hoped that the people OF
Richmond viii. by their presence on
this occasion manifest their interest
in the school question.

SKETCH is 4
DECIDED HIT
AT PROCTOR'S

Again has the management of
Proctor's local theatre demonstrated
that It is alive and in readiness to
supply the cravings of amusement
lovers of the city. 1t has lived up to
its promises of presenting a high
price show for ten cents. That the
large audiences gathering at this
house daily are keenly alive to this
interest is shown by the abundance
of applause given.
One of the best, amusing and in
structive features on the card is call
ed THE Master OF Men, presented
by Laura Butler and the Fred
Wright Company. In this act is pic
tured the temptations that often con-
front girl of the stage. The par
ticular girl of this dainty playlet
was forced before the footlights'
glare after her young husband had
been sent to prison through the in
huence Of an INSCRIPTIONS politician
Eventually he escapes and rejoins
his wife. The production carries a
strong moral lesson and In the end
right receives it's vindication.
Holly and the Boys" is perhaps
the most appealing turn on the bill,
for 1t is such an excellent portrayal
OF life characteristic or the western
ranch. 1t proves that cow-punch-
er's life is not all hard work without
play, but with song. Holly is dain-
ty actress, who by her songs and
graceful actions readily wins her
way into those who see her. The
cow-punchers' quartet scored. The
handsome collie dogs attracted wide |
attention. In response to a query If !
he would sell them John Harvey, the |
owner, said, 'Twould break up the !
act, you see.
Statuary work of a high order is |
shown by the Four Lorettos in their |
posing act. Their exhibition of hui
man statuary is both beautiful and |
artistic.
The young lady who enchanted |
the house yesterday with her beauti- |
full whistlijg, was Miss Nettie Knise.
She is nice"
Art. Laughlin, the black face COM
edian, was amusing with his comedy. |
His act was above the ordinary in it's
conception.
Young and Wardell, who present |
a very artistic Juggling act, have
here before, but they pre- |
sent new stunts that are cleverly and |
neatly executed.

trivial matters as the manufacture
and sale of poisoned foods, the exor-
bitantcost of living, the equalibh-
tion of taxation, the Imprisonment of
rich thieves and impostors, or make
1t possible for the men who contrib
ute so largely to the boasted pros
perity' Of the county to live decent
ly, Instead of forcing them into still
deeper poverty and degradation than
they are at present compelled to en-
dure.
These and other equally important
matters are what the nations con-
sumers are interested in today, and
they are the rock upon which the re-
publican party and Its corrupt ally
are surely going to pieces. Any new
political organization, therefore,
seeking the suffrage Of the American
public must take cognizance OF these
questions. False promises have to a
great extent lost their alluring effect
on the average voter, not so much
because he is improving Intellectual
ly as because of the fact that the
combination Of capital, with the CON
sequent forcing up of prices on ev-
erythfng that goes into the home, Is
gradually bringing him to his senses.
II Kirby and his associates cannot
do these things-if they will make
no move toward their accomplish
ment-then their Convictions" con-
travene those OF large body OF vot-
ers, the majority of whom have al
ready cut loose from the parties
which Kirby condemns, and who will
sooner or later find their way out Of
the wilderness unaided by capital
i isms' Moses.

CRIMMINS AND
GORE SCORE AT
BIJOU THEATRE

Crimmins and Gore made q pro
nounced hit at the Bijou yesterday
afternoon and evening with their
funny farcical sketch, 1.-THE Actress
and the Waiter" There is an irret
sistible swing to the act and there Is
an irresistible personality about each
of these entertainers that help to
bring out every good point in the
sketch. In the language of the stage,
Crimmins and Gore "get over the
! footlights" better than almost any
act yet Seen at the Bijou. The sketch
is a nonsensical tumble of by-play,
but there is much genuine wit and
character study embodied In it.
Miss Gore as the East Side tough
girl and as a lady of fashion, repre-
sents the two extremes of woman
hood. She is very tall and very, very
slender, a physical attribute that is
distorted into the most ungainly
speciment of her sex imaginable,
and then, when properly arrayed pre-
sents 1.-THE, willowy aspect that is
more than pleasing to the eye. Her
change from one character to the
other is made with lightning rapidi-
ty. Dan Crimmins is a comedian
worthy of the excellent support
given by his partner, and as whole
the act is one calculated to cause un-
limited comment and appreciation.
That hoop rolling In a science in
Itself was ably demonstrated by the |
Altus Troupe of four professors of |
hoopnotism, as they are billed. |
Their intricate display of hoop roll
ing and Juggling earned the plaudits
of the large audience.
Deodato, an Italian conjurer and /
Is wonder. Some marve-
lous feats of sleight-of-hand are per-
formed by the italian, all of which /
go to prove that the hand is quicker
than the eye.
Entertainers of quality are the
Stinson sisters Appearing in song
and dance they charm and delight |
the audience for period of fifteen
minutes.
Eddie Shaw, as a slangy messen-
ger boy, in song and dance act with
his sister Mae, in his own phraseol-
ogy, is "the real dope singing kid"
The Bijougraph is excellent.

Defends Auto Ambulance.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The people want the City Hospital
authorities to use the city's money to
the best possible advantage in saving
pain n life. An automobile ambu-
lance or two is purchased to help along
this good work. and Immediately there
is a bow that the speed at which the
machine is run is outrageous and dan
gerous to pedestrians.
Let some member in the family of
these critics be in such need OF a doctor
chat the minutes seem like hours before
medical help arrives and the writer
thinks the critics would fix the speed
limit 50 hat professional racers would
be put to shame.
More than a dozen lives Fan be
chalked up to the credit of these auto
ambulance drivers. and the writer has
not seen one account in the STAR
where the City Hospital ambulances
have run down a person in the street,
Every real citizen will join me in bid
ding drivers of these machines to go
faster, faster!' H K.
