Mercy Home Demonstration

The Mercy Home is one of Birming- ham's most deserving institutions. Few there are, indeed, that appeal so thoroughly to the public. The Mercy Home is doing d great work and gen. erous hearted citizens gladly con- tribute to its support. The good ladies who manage the home welcome vlsi- tors, and while many citizens inspect the institution from time to time they form only a small percentage of those who feel lively interest in the work, but who are not able to avail them selves of opportunities to call and see what is being done.
 In order, therefore, that the public may become better acquainted with the activities of the Mercy Nome a demonstration will be given next Mon day and Tuesday in one of Loveman, Joseph X Loeb's windows. There will be relays of children taking part in the exhibition, and in this way the diff ferent parts of the work will be seen and understood. Such a demon-'-.-' is sure to arouse ge.,, q interest in the institution.
 Subscriptions to the Mercy Home will be in order, and representatives of the management will he on hand to receive contributions. During the two days of demonstration money aggregating f,ry subst. rtial sum will doubtless be contributed.

DOMESTIC EXPERTS

From the Pittsburg Gazette-Times
 Discussing the modern feminist move- ment, a woman lecturer told Brooklyn audience that her sex will not achieve it's full measure of independence until the rearing of children and all the duties of the home are placed in the hands of experts. Not until then will women be fcee to go out into the world and dis charge their responsibilities as leaders in thought and action. as voters and office- holders.
 There are only two sexes, so the "ex- perts'' who are to form the home guard will have to be either men or women. If the men turn in and become cooks and nursemaids and spring housecleaners, this means that the women will have to be the breadwinners This scarcely could have been the thought of the Brooklyn speaker, she must have meant that a special class of trained women would be set apart in the golden age to super vise the home while their more aggres- sive sisters were out in the world' making speeches, conducting reforma- tory crusades and setting things gener- ally to rights. These experts, of course would not be mere servants, but mana hold responsibilities upon their shoulders and leaving their feminine employers en- tirely free for ''the higher duties of life"

should He Financial Success

q feel sure that the festival concerts to be given at the Bijou under the aus pices of the music festival board of which Mrs. Houston Davis is president. will be successful financially as we'll as artistic ly," said club man who has taken part in the mana cement of former festivals. but who is now simply one of the guaran- tors and a locker on.
 ''The forthcoming festival will be man. aged by women of civic pride and en- thusiasm All the festivals held here in past years have been highly creditable from a musical point of view, but most of them incurred small financial losses just as is often the case in many large cities.
 "One reason why festivals held here in recent years have not drawn crowded houses at all of the performances was the lack of appreciable interest on the part of educational institutions. The ladies who have charge this year will make a strong effort to enlist the prac- tical cooperation of colleges and schools. There are enough music pupils and school boys and girls of musical taste to fill a theatre twice as big as the Bijou. If the Bijou is crowded at the orchestral mati- nee and crowded again at night when the oratorio is performed the festival board will be able to carry over a good surplus to apply to a mammoth festival in the projected auditorium in 1915"

Educational Surveys

What Dr. Clyde Furst, secretary of the Carnegie foundation, calls the spring style in education" is the statewide educational survey. In re- cent address Dr. Furst stated that the first survey of this kind was made in Vermont, where every department of education, particularly the elementary and secondary schools, was investi- gated by experts drawn from all parts of the country by the Carnegie foun- dation. It is too early yet, said Dr. Furst, to say what the practical re- suits will be in Vermont, but he con- sidered it an Interesting and profita- ble experiment.
 The educational survey is sort of expert diagnosis of educational con- ditions and shows just what consti- tutes the weakness and strength of an educational system. In Vermont, for instance, number of timely recommendations were made, which may be acted on or not, as the voters see fit. The people of Vermont at least have the satisfaction of knowing that the most capable men in the country have studied their educational methods in painstaking way and have suggested reforms that are needed.
 Some communities have acquired the Survey habit" and have had sev- eral surveys in the past few years. These surveys, of course, are not com plete and may do more harm than good but thorough and accurate in- vestigation, such as the experts em- ployed by the Carnegie foundation are able to make, offers many advantages. It shows people who take an interest ill such matters what is being done to educate children.
 The survey in Vermont cost about $20,000, but according to all reports was well worth the money. Other pro gressive states are beginning to feel that they must have a survey too.
