READING AND ART BY MRS. DURKE Discussed I'lionctlcs Now Olio or the 1'cdngoglcnl I'tid nnil !nvc Homo Inspiring Idem About Art an in Its llcliltion to Chlldrcn.-School Olli clnls wrro l'roent--lrocrnmmo for Todny. Yesterday morning's session of the rdticntlonal Institute of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart nt College hill was one of tho most Interesting of tho course. Mrs. Burke gave on Instructive talk on "Heading." She discussed the value of phonics, now such a fad In peda gogy, nnd expressed herself In favor of eclectic Instead of special methods. Tho Pollnid and other systems were an nlyzed in a private conference she had with several well known educators of this city. She emphasized the neces sity of appealing tlrst to the percep tion und memory of the child, after ward to the reason. Incorrectly 3ptll ed words should never be shown (he children. Neither should they see or hear an ungrammatlcal sentence. Sim plicity In teaching phonics should bo the first consideration. Constnnt drill In the reproduction of sounds and thM: combinations should be employed. She did not advocate tho use of diacritical works at first. Miss Mannhan spoke In favor of tho vertical system of penmanship now so lnuch In vogue. She has been very successful In teaching this method. She recommended teaching words In preference to letters. Vertical writing Is imturnl and therefore easy for Hie child, while for physical reasons It Is the only system which should be taught. It Is also plain ns print, re quires less space nnd consumes less time of the writer than other styles. Soft pencils should be used at ilrst, nfterwnrd pens should be given to the children, THE AFTEHNOON SESSION. Miss Manahan occupied the first per iod of the afternoon with a charming talk on "Language." She spoke of tho three sources from which the children derive their language: Nature, litera ture and art. Nature should have a strong fascination In the early years as well as pictures and stories. Tho teacher should be able to place sketch es on the blackboard and the later work of the children should be Illus trated by pen and Ink. Miss Manahan then placed a number of clever sketch es on the board as giving practical Ideas of her subject. Many Indies with brlght-hued hats and several black-coated visitors, fringing the central group of black veiled and whlte-colfed listeners ns Mrs. Burke began her afternoon ad dress. Prominent in the assemblage were: President of the Board of Con trol Jennings, Controllers John Gib bons, W. J. Welsh and O'Mnlley, and Professor G. W. Phillips, of the Scran ton high school. Among the clergy men who nttended the session were: Rev. E. J. Melley. of St. John's church; Hev. D. J. McCarthy, of Mlnooka; Hev. M. E. Loftus and Hev. James Malone, of St. Peter's cathedral, and Rev. John Loughran, of the Church of the Holy Cross. Mrs. Burke took up the subject of composition, and In a lucid and Inter esting way gave many valuable hints. She, said that children when they Ilrst come to school use street language, despite the fact that they may be sent from homes of culture. She then made the statement that If high school teachers were asked whether the pupils that came to them wero not In need of primary work In their capitaliza tion, punctuation and construction of sentences, the answer would be In the atrirmatlve. She believed that In most schools lower grade work did not In clude enough letter writing. There Is no reason why this beautiful art should not hold the dignity of the years gone by. ART OP CONVERSATION. Conversation, too, Is said to have be come a lost art, Mrs. Burke remarked. Conversation lessons, conversation parties and alms may correct this If begun In the schools. The greatest number of mistakes occur In the use of verbs. Mrs. Burke gave an object lesson with a class of little boys. Illus trating the method of teaching parts of a verb. After a recess the calcium light now having put In Its appearance, Mrs. Burke begun her lecture on "Art," Il lustrated by many beautiful views of great masterpieces. Previous to this she spoke of the possibility of teach ing the children about pictures, giv ing them knowledge of the meaning of the artist, his motive, and, last, Homethlng concerning himself. Pic tures of Rose Bonheur, Landseer, Eastlake, Sir John Reynolds, Douglas and many others were recommended, and she explained how the children might know where the createst pic tures are, whether In the Ulllzzl, the Dresden gallery, the Louvre, or whether In our own Metropolitan, In New York, Boston or Chicago. When the youth of our Innd go to these cities It will be pleasant to know that first they will hasten to a gal lery, where old friends will greet them, Instead of seeking new Interests In the truants of sin. The following Is the programme of today. 9 a. m. Arithmetic Mr. Burke. 10 a. m. Correlation Miss Manahan 11 a. m.

A meeting of tho Journeymen Bak eia and Confectioners of this city, will be held at 421 Lackawanna avenue to morrow evening at 7.30 p. m. The ob ject of tho meeting Is to discuss the new baker-shop law and Its merits as related to the Interests of tho opera tive bakers. Addresses will be made by Phil J. Thomas, representing tho Central La bor union of this city, and by Fritz Grleslngcr, who Is the framer of the new hill, representing tho Journeymen Bakers nnd Confectioners' Interna tional union of America, and the or ganizer of tho latter body. The baker shop bill, titled "An act to regulate the manufacture of flour and meal food products" provides for sanitary Inspection of all bakershops for tho abolition of work of minora under tha age of 18 years In bakeries at night time and for a weekly day of rest and a Christian Sabbath for every Jour neymun Baker. The law .went Into effect on June 2S and was signed by the governor on May 27. The factory Inspector Is now enforc ing the new law In this city nnd has ordered considerable alterations In a number of Scranton bnkeshops In ac cordance with tho sanltnry require ments of the net. Prior to his arrival In this city Mr. Grlcslnger had an In terview with Chief Factory Inspector James Campbell nt the Windsor hotel In Philadelphia, The chief of the factory Inspection department assured the representative of tho Journeymen Bakers thnt the laker-shop law would bo enforced strictly not only In Phlladolphla.where several arrests have already been made, but nlso In every city or town of this state. It Is expected that a large number of Journeymen Bakers will attend tomorrow night's meeting. MEADOW BROOK WILL RESUME. One Hundred Hands Will Find I'.m ployment Again. The Meadow Brook Silk mill will start work In all departments this morn ing with the full complement of hands. The mill has been Idle since July 5, but last Monday 100 of the 200 hands wero placed at work In tho "doubling" department. Beginning with today the full cupaclty of the mill will be util ized. PLANS FOR POLICE. Friends of the Department Want Twenty two New Policemen and $25,000 by a Bond Issue. Along with the proposition to bond the city to the extent of $40,000 for park Improvements and together with the scheme of fire department officials also to obtain money by the bond process, the police department Is not being forgotten. Certain councllmen and others who nie particularly Interested In Inciensing the present police force of fifty-three men to seventy-five are ready to tack on a police provision of $25,000 to any bond ordlnahce that may be presented In councils. The park Improvement bond meas ure merely provides that the question shall be submitted to popular vote at the next city election. The police department's friends nrgue that no city of Scranton's class In the United States has such a small number of police officers, while any number of cities with populations ranging from 05,000 to 100,000 possess forces larger than Scranton's, the city that ranks fourth In population in the state. They further point out that while tho police force Is Inadequate, from a population standpoint, few cities In the country cover an area proportionately as great as Scranton, Among some statistics recently ob tained by Chief of Police Robllng were the following: Pollcemeg. Reg- Sfe ular. clal. Pcpula tion. Lynn, Mass 05,000 Trenton G5.000 Camden 05,000 Troy OS.000 Hartford 70,000 Wilmington "0,000 Dayton, O 0,000 Reading 85,000 Cambridge, Mass 90,000 Lowell, Mass 90.000 Grand Rapids 90,000 Richmond 95,000 Memphis 100,000 Fnll River 100,000 Puleison 100,000 Worcester 105,000 Syracuse 120,000 Allegheny 120,000 Toledo 130,000 Columbus. 0 137,000 Providence 145,000 Indianapolis 150,000 Denver 155,000 Kansas City 170,000 Louisville 215,000 St. Paul 150,000 CO 77 02 104 75 73 PS 65 101 109 112 100 00 121 104 130 70 153 113 123 275 130 105 150 290 1S3 20 CO Scranton with Its 103,000 population nnd 53 officers (including the chief, lieutenants, etc.) does not stand very well in a comparison, especially not whin Its great area Is considered. However, the demands of the re formers are not at all modest, but are. In fact, rather too broad'to meet with very ready remedying. They want 22 additional policemen which would In crease the force to 75, Including the luipenor officers. This Increase togeth er with a driver for the patrol wagon, a stable In the rear of tho city hall and the keep of four horses, the num ber now UFed In the police department, would require not less than $25,000 per year. Neither the police nor fire de partment bond Issue movements, has attracted the interest nnd favor that are attached to tho park Improvement plan. There Is then the possibility that the park bond ordinance mpy go thiough councils and the question be submitted to popular vote without be ing Jinked with the other plans. THE KLONDYKE GOLD FIELD. Information About the New El Dorado Which Will Interest Everybody. The excitement over the gold dis covery In the Klondyke grows with each hour. Appreciating this the pub lishers cvf the Philadelphia Sunday "Press" have arranged to give in next Sunday's "Press" (August 1) new facts about the gold country which will astonish and Interest everybody.

The now famous Traction ordinance granting the Scranton Railway com pany tho privilege of extending their lines on certain streets on tho West Side passed third rending In common council last night. Mr. Thomas asked to bo excused from voting on the or dinance ns he did not believe It would be a benefit to the people of the West Sldo and knew It would be a positive detriment to some sections. The other 17 members present voted In favor of the ordinance. Matterp wero of a decidedly slow na ture nt the meeting and the business done had thnt rather uncertain tone about It which would chatacterlze the work of a very tired body of men. Tho reading of the, minutes occupied about 20 minutes mid the only Interesting section was the account of Tuesday night's Joint session which Induced the Republican members to sit up straight and listen. NEW SOLICITOR'S BOND. Tho bond of Attorney M. A. McGln ley, city sollcltor-olect. In the sum of $10,000 With John J. Fnhey, T. F. Leo nard and P. J, Conway as sureties, was rend and approved.

Messrs. D. W. Vaughn and David Lewis, property owners on North Gar field avenue, wero nllowed the privi lege of the floor and asked for $800 to be appropriated for a sewer on that section of the avenue. It developed that a resolution ordering the street commissioner to repair the sewer In question had been passed by council and is now In tho hands of the mayor, Mr. Vnughn then served notice on coun cil that unless something was done In the matter suits would be filed by property owners on both sides as they had stood the nuisance about as long as they could. The following resolutions were ndopted: Mr. Zeldler Permitting the Frank lin Engine company to take their ap paratus to attend the parade in Hall stead. Mr. Sheridan Establishing a grade on Beech street, between Irving and Crown avenues. Mr. Molr Allowing tho building In spector to prepare plans for tho re building of Centre street station house.

Mr. Sweeney In formed Mr. Gllroy that Mr. Graham did not bid In accordance with the plans and specifications, nnd that Mr. Burke's bid was In every way regular, and the committee could do nothing other than give him the work. ASSESSORS' CLERK HIRE.. Mr. Regan Introduced an ordinance appropriating $522.19 to defray the ex penses of clerk hire in the city asses sors' department! and another ap propriating funds for the repair of the Columbia hose wagon, which Is now in the possession of the Eagle Engine company.
