EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

Men will not tolerate in a public
school building a performance they
might witness without protest In other
places, says Clarence A. Perry, in
bulletin just issued by the United
States Bureau of Education. For
this reason DR. Perry thinks the move
ment to use the school plant for So
cial and recreationai purposes is des-
tined to purify as well as popularize
amusements.
THE teaching staff and other ma
chinery OF the public schools are dedi-
Gated by the people to a betterment
service says DR.. Perry Therefore,
society will not permit the building
erected solely for that purpose to
be put to a contrary use
Statistics gathered by DIR. Perry
from forty-five leading cities In the
United States show that in one
month there were over 100000 at
tendance upon evening functions In
the public school buildings of these
cities The bulletin declares that
these figures mean SO many evenings
spent in wholesome activity by per-
sons many of whom would otherwise
have spent that time In less bene-
fetal or in positively harmful
pastimes.
These 500, 900 instances of the in
fluence of the school in one month,
whether scattered over many persons
of concentrated upon a few, indicate
the tremendous force for righteous
ness that was extended by one
months extension work in these forty
five cities
THE public character OF all func-
tions held In the school buildings has
the effect of censoring those func-
TONS" asserts DIR. Perry "The Ac-
ffxy tUyfHt ~ - a.a1~, "a
unashamedly seeks, affords the kind
of expression that its members need.
When youths and mAidens consort
in the publis school building In social
life we may be certain that instincts
of racial Importance are being cher
ished instead of exploited.
Unfortunately" says Dr. Perry. "a
large number of young people, In the
sheyday OF life, are devoting their
ample margins OF energy to passive
amusements and degenerating satis-
factions. What holds these Young
people back from profitable pastime
is lack of meeting places and OF lead
ership Suitable meeting places and
wise leadership would. for q vast ma
jorfty OF them. change the evenings

upbuilding and character-strengthen

needs for this purpose 1t possesses
