Harrison S. Morris Deplores
Lack of Opportunity for
School Children
FINDS SYSTEM WANTING

School children of Philadelphia are
being deprived of an opportunity of Sc
curing an education in art
This was the substance of an address
made by Harrison s. Morris at the noon
session of the fourteenth annual con
vention Of the American Association of
Museums, convening in the Pennsyl-
vania Museum, Memorial Hall, Fair =
mount Park.
Mr.. Morris also criticized the treat
that was accorded the delegates Assem- =
bled because. they were compelled to
meet in the basement of Memorial Hall.
Mr.. Norris said: AS Philadel-
phian | apologize and will merely con-
slider it only an error of Judgment
that you have been invited to base
ment. 1t is characteristic of Philadcl-
phia to send prominent guests who
have come from different cities and
states to read important papers into a
cellar without proper ventilation or ac-
'OmmOdation.
At the close of the meeting Mr.. Nor
ris said Philadelphia is not giving any
opportunity to its school children tc
study art. ITO my knowledge there is nc
systematic study he said. New
York Chicago and Pittsburgh are well
organized.
AT the time when / was retiring as
director of the PENNSYLVANIA Academy
of tho Fine Arts. in 1906, | had sue
cccded in procuring an appropriation
from the state Legislature of $40. O.000
for two years to educate sixty students
from the public schools of the city and
state. This plan was never carried
out. The academy declined the ap-
preparation purely TO prevent me from
exercising my trained knowledge in
art education in an effort to unite the
city and state for good taste and cdu =
cation in art.
Inez Addic Howe spoke on What
are we doing for our children in art. -

SEE DRIVE GOAL WON
Campaign Director Strine Pre-
diets $15o,ooo,o 900 Will Be
Raised for Church
PHlLADElPHIANS IN LEAD

The Methodist centenary drive for
S105 200, 900 is going rapidly ahead and
will turn out to be huge success, ac-
cording to X. p. Strine, campaign di-
rector for the Philadelphia area, who
said today:
Reports show that we are rapidly
approaching our quota all over the
country, although the drive is just
started and only limited portion Of the
field has been worked I would not be
surprised if we raise $50, 900, 900 by
the end of the campaign
According to n message sent by Mr..
Strine to Charles s. Ward, general
campaign director in New York, 1877
churches of the Philadelphia area re-
port So, 1856, ,6S6 subscribed. The Phila-
delphia conference leads with 81 ,243,
600. Trenton went over the top in
twenty minutes. and West Nanticoke in
thirteen minutes.
The amount Of the subscriptions re-
ceived during the campaign will be paid
during a period Of five years, and the
money will be invested in church work
in all parts of the world. 1t is planned
to spend $40 900, 900 for domestic mis-
sionary work and similar amount for
foreign missionary service The re-
naming funds will be placed into re-
construction work in Europe.
For more than two years commit
toes have been preparing statistics
which would show the needs of the va =
rious sections of the world, and these
figures, now in book form, will be used
as guide in the spending of this
money.

TEXTILE WAGES TO GO UP

More Than 100 P. C. Since 1915

More Than 100 P. c. Since 1915
Boston, May 20.-(By \. p.D--Wagc
increases affecting upward of 150,Q 900
textile operatives in New England and
other northern states were made public
today. In most instances the advance
was announced as approximately - per
cent Both cotton and wooden mills are
affected.
The increase, which will become eff
fective June >, will bring mill wages to
the highest level on record and in some
instances represent a total increase of
more than 100 per cent since 1915.
Many of the mills in New England
have been operating on a forty eight
hours a week schedule since early in
. the year, a reduction of six hours
week from the former schedules. This
reduction in the working week was ac-
companied by corresponding cut in
| wages.
Several strikes, notably that in Law
renee, which has been in effect since
February 3, are ordered to end with the
allowance of higher wages, made pos :
