musical and dramatic composition. It
belongs to a class of Its own, there be-
Ing no known parallel to It In all mu
sical history. Properly speaking, It Is
really a symphonic drama, with scenic
accessories, all of which Illustrate
graphically the Incidents related in the
tone story. In his music, Mr. Innes has
nortraved'wlth Intense realism the varl
ous events connected with the civil
war, the causes of the conflict, the war
Itself and its close. Incidental to the
composition he has Injected very effec
tively the singing of war songs of both
actions, the denarture of volunteers to
the scene of battle, terminating this
feature with the return of the battle-
scarred veterans.

PROMINENT MEN INTERESTED
Banquet of the Scranton Civil ond Social
Club Developed Several Very Unex
pected Facts-Attended by Many
Well Known Citizens.
The banquet given at the Bicycle
club house last night by the Scranton
Civil und Social club Included as guests
and members seventy persons repre
senting the best thought and moHt
prominent men In the city's financial
and professional circles.
During the evening was developed
several pronounced surprises: First,
for over a year there has existed the
Scranton Civil and Social club of which
Colonel H. M. Boles Is president; John
Jermyn and A. W. Dickson, vice-presi
dents; C. H. Welles, secretary and
treasurer, and whose fifteen members
are among the best known and most
Influential Scranton citizens; second,
very few of the Invited gueBts knew of
the purpose of the banquet until Col
onel Holes made an explanatory ad
dress; third, the subject of Industrial
training was discussed by International
oflleers of the Young Men's Christian
association who were present for that
purpose.
While no reference was made to the
purpose or need of manual training In
connection with the Scranton Young
Men's Christian association, It became
apparent that the banquet would prove
an opening wedge for establishing an
Industrial department In this city's as
sociation. Colonel Holes 'presided dur
ing the banquet, which was served by
Huntington. After a discussion of the
elaborate and tempting array of viands
tho following Young Men's Christian
association officers were Introduced:
General Secretary Samuel V. Morse, of
the Intenationnl committee, a nephew
of tho famous inventor of the telegraph;
General Secretary Hicks, of the rail
road department of the International
committee; General Secretary Miller, of
the Twenty-third Street, New York, as
sociation. Purpose of Banquet Revealed.
The Introductory nnd welcoming ad
dress by Col. 11. jr. Holes revealed the
origin of the Scranton Civil and Social
club, Its purposes und the future It may
wield in mutters connected with local
questions of importance to the city
generally. He said:
"As president of this club I welcome
you who are fortunately our guests, but
wno are unfortunately not members.
While only few of you know of the exist
ence of our club, it has existed for a
year, and some explanation of it will
throw light on the purpose of this
gathering and may possibly Interest
you .
"It Is the child of three circumstances.
It happened merely by accident that
eighteen or twenty of us met Inst fall
at several soiiul gatherings given con
secutively and within a few days of
each other. Our conversation gradu
ally became franker nnd more enter
taining and It was discovered that sev
eral were members of the American
Society of Civics. From this developed
the Idea of discussing our interests as
citizens nnd promoting objects for the
city's good. The club has no political
color.
"It decided to have some discussion
of Important topics at every meeting
which we hoped would prove of bene
fit nnd at the same time include a
definite trend of thought. It happened
ecently that the subject of Industrial
training was brought to our notice, and
we have provided for a consideration of
this topic tonight.
"There Is Justly placed great reliance
upon general education, yet It Is woe
fully at fault In that It Is almost en
tirely devoted to the mental and intel
lectual. The mind does not constitute
the whole man, but should be allied with
the spiritual and physical. Now I want
to make an assertion which Is not In
tended to voice the sentiment of the
club, but which I make on my own re
sponsibility: 'Present education is al
most useless In after life.' Facts and
not theory prove that statement. Our
youth Is educated almost entirely on
mental lives, yet 00 per cent, later earn
their living by manual labor.
Reason of Existing Poverty.
"I make bold to say and am not
alone in the opinion that the present
want and depression in a land of plenty
Is due to over cultivation of the mind.
The problem Is, How to furnish work?
and the only resources which will even
up the producing and consuming class
is to increase the wants of the produc
ers and teach them employment."
Colonel Boles explained that Freder
ick Pratt, one of the heirs of the Pratt
estate that maintains the famed Pratt
Polyechnlc Institute, of Brooklyn, was
prevented from being present by an at
tack of typhoid fever. However, ne haa
dictated his views which would be read
bv General Secretary Miller, of the
Twenty-third street, New York, Young
Men s Christian 'association, colonel
Boles explained that Mr. Miller was the
specially selected emissary of Mr. Pratt,
and that tne otner international omcers
of the Young Men's Christian associa
tion present were well qualified to In
troduce the discussion.
The reference of Colonel Boles to the
identity and repute of the guests from
abroad was the first inkling of the real
purpose of the meeting. Though, in the
discussions which followed no special
statement was made In regard to the
needs of a manual training department
In the Scranton association, it was
nlnln to those assembled that the mat
ter was being presented them with a
view toward securing their Interest and
annnort In the future.
Mr. Pratt s paper, reau oy Mr. Miner,
was as follows:
What Industrial Training Is.
There seemB to be a general misunder
standing regarding the meaning of the
term "Industrial Education. Thl mis
understanding has been lnrgely brought
about by the fact that we have been try
ing to adjust our education as our red
gion to the changed conditions of mod
ern life.
The real problem of Industrial or tech
nlcul education is that of adapting edit
cation to practical needs of life. To be
more definite, industrial education is not
mere training In handicraft, though that
Is important, nor training In technical
knowledge, though that is also essential
It is rather that broader understanding
of Industrial life, with its possibilities, Its
limitations and Its demands. Jt is the
training In the ability to see, to think,
and to do and not by the head only, but
by tho heart and hand as well; therefore
It makes but little dlfforenco whether this
training takes the form of art . of science,
or of commerce or whether It Ib taught in
the studio, the laboratory or tho otlice.
In this country, at least, the term "In
dustrial education" has received two dls
tlnct applications: The first, to general
public school work, where It has received
the name of "manual training." Briefly,
It means, the addition of shopwork and
drawing to the regular studies, with the
Idea of supplementing the science, mathe
matics, history and English with that
other training which will turn out all
rounded mert. We must never forgot
that tho public school has no right to
teach trades, uut n nas a rigni, anu, itir
titer. It Is the duty to train those stu
dents who, In less than one generation
will govern this country, in naoitg or com
r.luto llvlnv nnd dolnir.
The other application of the term Is to
that kind of work commonly seen in Eu
rope and more Beldom seen here, of Bpe
Mul or technical training In day or even
Ing classes. It Is of thlB phase of work
and of Its developments In the Young
Men's Christian association that I Bhall
Bpeak briefly this evening. When we con
sider What Blx-sevenths of our youth
lonun nrhonl at the age of 14. and only
one In thirty continues until 18; but 1 per
cent, are In colleges una i per cent, in
high Bchool; in short, that but 6 per cent,
rot a rniimled training which Is necessary
to best life; that 96 per cent, therefore
leave school before the ago of wlso Judg
ment and enter factories and business,
we get some degree the reasons not only
for the existence of the Young Men's
Christian association in general, but Its
special opportunities In the Industrial
field.. '
Important Brnnah. of Work.
In the order of the development of the
work of the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation, the educutional Is the lust, und
this not because It Is of less value, but bo
cause, as a factor. It has not until re
cently been recognized, In this organiza
tion, as In other agencies, as most, pow
erful; and consequently, while It Is only
one of the three alms of the association, It
Is, Just now, the most discussed and
thought of. It might be asked why the
association should take up this education
al work in view of what the public
schools, tho various private schools und
the Institutional church arc doing; and
yet. It seems to me, It Is a speclul work for
the Young Men's: Christian association
as for no other organization: First, be
cause the association reaches all classes
of men, of all uges anil of all conditions;
no man Is too old, no in (in Is too wealthy
to be debarred of its privileges; second,
because In Its rounded scope, It touches
the social and the moral side of ydung
men as no other organization outside
and, I might almost say, even the church
can do; third, because the Young Men's
Christian association has pre-empted tho
greuter number of cities of this country,
and by means of its facilities und exist
ing forces is In a position to assume and
to do this work; fourth, because, and I
emphasize It, because through the state
and international committees, there Is a
possibility of uniformity and concentra
tion of method and thought comparable
wlth.no other existing work.
To show how largely the work cun be
made to appeal to the mechanic class, I
quote from the Dayton association. Day
ton, O., Is a city of some 00,000 Inhabit
ants. The Young Men's Christian asso
ciation occupies the unique position of
huving pre-empted this work mere, and
has so trained the young men In their
work ns to strongly Influence and share
the city's Industries. Out of a total en
rollment In architectural, mechanical and
freehand drawing, clay-modeling and
wnoil-i-arvinir. of 138. 28 are clerks, olllco
men and students, and 102 are general
tradesmen and skilled mechanics. Out
of a total enrollment In arithmetic, pen
mnnshln. bookkeeping and Kngllsh of 205,
811 are In the first division and lit! In the
trust i'n wo count the value of such
work to the community In the training of
Intelligent and sKlileu citizens r
Work Thnt Has Been Done.
I might multiply this Illustration by
giving an account of the work of the
Brooklyn association, which has a slm
liar constituency und Is In a sense a
friendly rival of the Pratt Institute; or, 1
might siieuk of the work of tho Chicago
association In Its evening college, with
the most perfectly equipped association
building In the world; In fact, what Is ae
Ing done In these places can be done to a
degree In every active community. There
Is practically before tho association In Its
educutlonul work an unlimited Held. By
Its peculiar organization, with tho Inter
national committee us the representative
of the associations, and standing in the
centrul position, und with the state com
mltteess at division points, and the local
associations doing the personal work
unon Individuals, there is. It seems to me,
reason for believing that tho rstilts of the
future are going to be infinitely greater
than have ever been conceived.
Mr. Miller supplemented his reading
of Mr. Pratt's paper by referring In a
general way to the necessity of Indus
trial training and the power It wields
in connection with the Young Men's
Christian association. When the as
sociatlon was . organized forty-live
years ago It was to guide young men,
for then, as now, pivotal points of so
cial conditions depend on the thinking
of young men. FirBt, the association
aimed to develop the morals, then
physical training was added and finally
education was included, all three being
necessary to the complete man.
"Educated labor," said Mr. Miller,
"Is to me the foundation of tho Ideal
social condition. Only 6 per cent, of
the men who earn their living are
trained in colleges; out of every 100 boys
in public schools only eight engage in
mercantile or professional pursuits
and but little Is done to fortify the other
nlnetv-two for earning an existence
Out of the horde who want work and
sav thev can do 'almost anything,
investigation will show con do 'almost
nothing,' and from this overwhelming
class are developed the tramps who
Infest the country. The secret of social
and labor revolution for the better lies
in edueatlne the men In the principles
and reasons of their work that they
may do their labor intelligently and
not be mere machines witnout a Knowi
edge of the why and wherefore."
Tho Object in View.
After rehearsing the success of in
dustrial departments of the Young
Men's Chrlstiun association and a ref
erence to the growing popularity of the
principles of manual training among
thinking men Mr. Miller said: "The
aim is to Increase the producing class
and not the consuming class, and that
aim should commend Itself of Its own
Imnetus."
General Secretary Hicks, of the ran
road department of the International
committee, confined his remarks to the
railroad members of the Young Men s
Christian association, who, he said, on
cupy positions of greater responsibility
than any other claps or men. Me re
fered to the corporate support of the
railroad companies and quoted tne in
terstate Commerce commission's refer
nnr. to the Railroad Department of the
Young Men's Christian association as
being "worthy of support on me lowesi
pecuniary giounua m H-ii-mincni.
General secretary ivioise, i ui in

Men's Christian association, spowe
i.vli.nv of the eeneral purposes of the
association and explained how Its life
had been continued and made possible
thrnuirh the support of communities

He followed the line of spirit

address and dealt with the great evils
attendant upon unrestricted Immigra
tion and declared that the day must
rr,Q when no man would be allowed
nrivileireH of cltlzensnio unless n
was able to read the constitution of the
country In the language of the country
,,! ho nble to sav what It meant. He
did not entertain any feeling against
these men nor deprecate tneir moral
worth, hut how could they know the
duties and responsibilities of American
citizens, when they were unaoie 10
Bnenk or read the language of the
country and of the constitution. Here
was an .opportunity ifor the "Young
Men's Christian association to tune
these men in hand and teach them the
duties of good citizens, and as he saw
around him the representative men of
Hcrnnton. he Impressed upon them the
power for good they were possessed of
to work in this direction.
Judge Hand said he should have been
glad If Mr. Powdorly had been at the
bar ten years ago to call his attention
to the way citizens were made. He
then Bpoke with regard to the urgency
for industrial training and urged the
spiritual phase of the work.
It was nearly midnight when the
speechmuklng ended and the banquot
ters left the club hous. No definite
plan or proposition had been offered for
establishing Industrial training in
Scranton, but each individual present
was moved with the urgency of the
subject and will not be surprised at
further developments later on.

Inasmuch as It Is the dutv nf the wni-k-

DEL1G IIT1 1 L RECEPTION.
Tendered Last Mght ut Boies Residence
to .Members of V. W. C. A.
The chrysanthemum reception ten
dered by Colonel nnd Mrs. H. M. Boies
ut their residence on Clay avenue yea
terdny to the members of the Young
Woman s Christian association proved
a delightful affair. .
About 125 young ladles were present
early In the evening nnd were dis
persed over the numerous conserva
tories nnd rose-houses. In the main
conservatory the chrysanthemums
were neatly catalogued, and promi
nent among the exquisite specimens
were the "poodle," a valuable and su
perb flower, "the Mrs. Thomns Dick
son," "the Ivory," "the Colonel H. M.
Holes," which was ralsud by the colonel
nnd was the center of attraction. "The
Good Gracious" plant was also highly
admired for Its stately beauty, and also
"tho Jlertha McCurdy, named after
the energetic secretary of the Young
Woman's Christian association. The
O. W. Chllds" was highly lauded by
the ladies, who were enthusiasts, and
the dark red flower attracted many ad
miring expressions. "The Harry Sun
derbruck," however, seemed to be the
highest of the high, In the opinion of
the ladles, who made a critical tour
nnd the euloglums were evidently cast
in the proper quarter.
The ferns comprised numerous
species, colors and, sizes, and the
orange and bannna trees were objects
of much discussion. The ornnges were
green and not expected to ripen until
next summer. The palms are colossal
in proportions and made a noble back
ground.
Among the music of the evening a
special feature was observed in a mas
sive orchestrinn combining real instru
ments, drums, bells, etc., and other ac
cessories of the orchestra. Sixty four
tunes were played during the evening.
Mrs. Boles and other ludies entertained
the large gathering, nnd everyone wns
unanimous in voting that an unusually
pleasant evening hud been spent.
