SOCIALISTIC CONDITIONS.
Discussed by Profs. Emerson and
Thomas mt College street Church,

In discussing socialistic tendencies and
conditions at the College Street Church
Sunday at noon Professor Emerson re-
viewed briefly the position OF Professor
Leacoch of Canada as outlined by the
latter at the educational conference at
the University OF Vermont looking to the
problem of democracy from the negative
side. The lecturer held that the legisla-
tive body as IA substitute for kingly rule,
although satisfactory for a time, had
ceased To reflect the will OF the people
and IN some instances II Is now condemned
as having fallen under undemocratic in
huences,
Professor Emerson discussed the latest
indications and tendencies OF revolutionary
socialism in the old world and the new,
particularly with reference to the over
throw of the present order of things He
| said We should carefully distinguish be-
tween the loose use of terms and the real
aims Of those employing such terms. 1t
Is time when people should give serious
thought to social conditions.
Prof. Evan Thomas spoke Of Christian
socialism, devoting special attention to
the movement as It had taken form In
England and leading up to the social
settlement development which Professor
Emerson and he are 10 consider next

MORE PAY VOTED.
Aldermen Increase Salaries Of Fire
men, policemen md street EMPLOYEES.

men, Policemen md street Employees.
The board of aldermen held special
meeting Saturday night and voted to in
crease the salaries of the firemen, the
policemen and the employees of the stree t
department. The total increase in salaries
1T Is estimated. will he about s.. 100. The
committee on salaries made their report
after having the matter under considera =
don for some weeks. \ resolution was
adopted by the board approving the re-
port.
The frcmen are now receiving $l2. 81;
and Sl4 per week. and under the increase
they will receive slS. sl4 and SIS per week.
The regular policemen were given an
increase of 81 week making their sal
aries SIS per week. and a minimum ratio
OF N.75 per day in the street depart
ment was allowed as against a former
rate. Of $50
When the question of increasing the
salaries of the firemen was brought up
several weeks ago the matter was re-
terred to the committee on salaries, be-
cause some of the aldermen thought any
increase should come in regular man
ner II was decided that instead of
giving the whole proposed increase TO
the firemen some of the other depart
nents should be given consideration and
so the matter was divided up as seemed
best by the committee. The salary COM
mlttee is composed Of Aldermen Drew,
Barnes. Coffey. Sullivan and Gosselin.
When the meeting of the board Of al
dermen was concluded meeting Of the
city council was called for the purpose
of electing an assessor. a. l.. Barrows,
whose term expires this year, was re-
elected to succeed himself. The city
council also voted 10 appropriate $50 for
highway improvement, in accordance
with the provision made by the State
for meeting such an appropriation dollar

GOAL OF TEACHING,

The Goal OF History Teaching was
Professor Emersons topic, 1t is funda-
mentally essential he declared, that
every child, even If compelled to leave
school at any early age, should have
an adequate grasp, NOT only of the prin-
cipal facts in history, but OF the gen.
eral trend OF western civilization. To
some of the teachers present this idea
was novel and somewhat revolutionary.
They regarded a young child as too TN
mature to be capable Of understanding
history in its broader meaning.
ITO teach history in this way" re-
marked lady at the close of the aft
ernoon session. calls for teacher OF
more than usual ability
That's just the point" replied Pro-
fessor Emerson with smile ITO teach
history as it should be taught requires
better preparation than Is now possessed
by many who are attempting this"
! The keynote of western civilization
said Professor Emerson. Is the idea that
law is not the arbitrary command OF
man or of the Deity. but is rather the
expression of human wisdom, and west
ern civilization stands two-footed upon

and upon the working out OF great
