I OF -SAW TVJSJ
The past week was notable for the num
ber or meetings of ladies interested in vari
ous charities and institutions deserving aid.
Almost every day there have been Cather
ines of the noble women of this city, who de
vote their lives to acts of benevolence, for
liich their satisfaction In doing good Ig the
only reward sought or desired. The social
season is just dawning, but these women do
not care so much for the receptions, parties
and S o'clock teas as for .doing what they can
to ameliorate the condition of those who are
not so well supplied with the blessings of
life as themselves.
The hospital, especially, demand the con
stant attention of those who are ever on the
b atch for an opportunity to do good. In
this connection it is noteworthy that tho
Ladies' Aid Society of the South Side Hos
pital is getting along bravely with its pre
parations tor tho entertainment to be given
In the beginning of November, and troni
which they expect to net a large sum for the
benefit of the straggling institution on the
South Side. Then there Is the National
Tageant, that tho ladies of the
Church of the Ascension are ar
ranging for, so that thev may build a
new p.ironage. It Is evident that the ladies
of Pittsburg are determined to do their part
toward building public edifices in their city.
There were several notable marriage-;
during the week. It is remirkable that most
ot the weddings have taken place in the
home, instead of in the church. Is it possi
ble that there is a feeling in favor of home
weddings, to tho exclusion of the parade in
the church altogether? It appears so.
There Is one thing in favor of the present
wedding season. With one exception the
past week has been beautiful. Happy is tha
bride the sun shines on, they say. If this
be true the brides of the past few weeks
should indeed have been happy, for the sun
has done his duty in this respect, and has
shone persistently on every bride. The air
of the last few days, however, has had a
snap in it that brings a sweet blush to the
maiden cheek, regardless of her feelings. If
brides have not looked attractive in the air
it is because they are utterly destitute of
beauty. And wbero In the wide world is
there such a bridcj Lucetta Lokke.

An effort will be made by Indianapolis
merchants to secure the National Encamp
ment or 1833 for that city. It is well known
that the meeting of 1893 is scheduled for
Chicago, but it is believed in Indianapolis
that the World's Fair will serve as a draw
back to the encampment. It Is said that the
Chicago project will be opposed by those
who remember the meeting of 1876, which
was held at Philadelphia at tho time or the
Centennial Exhibition. The business men
of Indianapolis have decided to make a de
termined effort to induce the Grand Army
to hold the encampment there in 1893.

and that is the Brazilian ass. This repre

Objections to the Present System of Teach
ing Drawing Some Newly Elected In
structors Visitors From Neighboring
Towns Items of General Interest.
There is some'talk that the subject of
drawing will again shortly flguro before tho
Central Board of Education. The question
will not bo as to its desirabillty.for that is con
ceded on every hand, but as to the present
method. Some contend, and they are few
in number, that the present system is too
expensive, since it calls for varied colored
paper for 'designs. Another objection is
that the system Is not practical; tho third,
and only real objection, is In the
clay modeling. Its opponents claim that
the continued use of the same clay
is detrimental to health. For instance, a
certain quantity of the clay is distributed
among the pupils to ho modeled into cubes
and other figures. When they are through
with the portions of clay given them, these
portions are azain thrown together to form
ji new conglomeration. It is to this that
thvnnnna fthlpetlnTI is Tnaflfi QS it 13 arCUed
Pthat disease could be communicated by such
a process.
It must be said that the objections have
little weight. The Central Board considered
these objections when it adopted the system,
and would not have run counter to what it
thought right. Beside the board has the ex
amples 01 such cities as Boston and Phila
delphia, to show that the present system of
drawing is the best in vogue. The teachers
like tho present system vory much, and op
position to it will have to be developed in
the Central Board. As the Central Board
commended the adoption of this drawing
system and placed it in the course of study,
it is hardly likely it will make any change.
Reception of Visiting Teachers.
The city has been full of visitors all
week, nnd the schools havo had a large quota
of them. Forty-bne teachers from East Pal
estine, Newark, and Alliance, O., visited the
North, High, Nor-nal, Forbes, Mt. Washing
ton, Lloyd, Franklin, Moorhcad, Grant
and Hancock schooiS Thursday and
Friday. Fifth avenuo and tho other
stroets that would afford egress
to the Grant nnd Hancock schools,
were presumably so crowded that Superin
tendent Luckey took the visitors np Straw
berry alley when he was bringing them to
these institutions. While they were going
up the alley they met a big, burly colored
mm, who was driving a wagon. He was
singimr "Away Down Upon the Snwanee
River," but stopped long enouelvwhen he
discovered the array of feminine beanty
under tho tutelage of Superintendent
Luckey, toexclaim, "Great Jernsaleml What
a lot of pretty school ma'ams."
Election of New Teachers.
The election of two teachers to fill

Holmes at tne Soho. At the latter school
