He Was Wildly Cheered in the Streets of Denver. Mr. Bryan was given a carriage drive about the city of Denver yesterday after- neon, There were several carriages in the party, the first being Mr. Bryan's, in the second were Senator Teller, Governor McIntyre and Governor-clect Adams. The drive was one continuous ovation, the streets being crowded. It had been ar- rarged that Mr. Bryan would address the people at different points along the route. He was wildly cheered. At the first stop Mr. Bryan said among other things: “I think our people who have fought so hard for free silver are as happy today in defeat as are our enemies who were vi torious, and I have yet to find the first per- | son who regards the defeat of this year as a final defeat.” He expressed his appreciation of the fact that Colorado cast a greater per cent of her vote for him than any other state ever cast for a presidential candidate. At the state house there were fully 20,000 pcopie assembled, including 5,000 school children. Mr. Bryan made a few remarks and then returned to the Brown Palace Hotel. Mr. Bryan was the principal speaker at the exercise commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the admission of Colorado as a state, held last night in the Central Presbyterian Church. The edifice, one of the largest in the city, was crowded in every part by a magnificent audience. The entrance of Mr. Bryan was the signal for prolonged applause and the waving of handkerchiefs. Preceding Mr. Bryan's speech were intro- ductory remarks by Chas. 8. Thomas, Rep- resentative John F. Shafroth, Governor, Mclutyre, and the “Bryan Marseillaise’ was sung by Mrs. W. Grant and the choir. At the close of Mr. Bryan's speech Senator Henry M. Teller, in responding to a call for a speech, pledged himself in a few remarks in case of his re-election to continue his efforts in the cause of silve: When Mr. Bryan was introduced he was again greeted with cheers and long-con- tirued applause. Among other things he said: “In a campaign it is necessary that some one should bear the standard, and in a campaign we must, whether we desire it or not, connect the cause with the person. When the campaign is over that connection ceases. While the campaign was in prog- ress I was the standard bearer, and the cause could only be successful nationally through my election. When the election was over my connection with the cause in the representative capacity ceased, and I express it as my earnest conviction—aye, I give it as my earnest desire, that my name cease to be connected with the clubs that are organized for the continuation of this work. I was taken up at the time of the convention, when others had been talked about. When the next time comes conditions may produce some one else, and we are entitled, when that time comes, to chcose without ‘being hampered by a cam- paign of four years connected witb any human being in this country. +o+— Clerks’ Protective Association, The Clerks’ Mutual Beneficial Protective Association held its fourth annual banquet last evening, which proved highly success- ful.

To the Biltor of The Evening Star: In The Star of Monday last a corre- spondent opines that all teaching should not be expected of the teacher; the par- ents should assist. Many parents would gladly do so if thew knew how, and no way can their assistance be obtained so surely as by giving the scholars home work. This is done, but it is not done regularly and methodically, or I am much mistaken. A correspondent who seems to speak with authority says, referring to the pupigg of the Central High School: “Many of the students show plainly that they have not been trained to hard study, or even to doing a moderate amount of it. The faculty explain that at least three hours of home study a day are re- quired, and yet they will tell you that very few of the students succeed in apply- ing themselves for that length ‘of time.” My individual experiénce is this: My boy has since September’ last brought home each day for perhaps a week school work that has occupied him from 6 o'clock until 10, when he has lain his sleepy head upon his pillow, his task unfinished; then in the succeeding week or longer he has had no work, or so little that fifteen min- utes have sufficed to‘complete it. It may be said my boy has deceived me, but other children in his grade have shown me the same work (or lack of it); besides, if he had been given work and failed to perform it he would have been detained after school, which has not been the case. While I feel confident my boy’s teacher knows his need and requirement in this line better than I, I cannot understand why his home work should not be regular and_ systematic. The children are released from school in the afternoon at 3; they thus have six hours before bedtime. Would not one or two hours each day regularly devoted to executing tasks given by the teacher leave them sufficient time for play, and or Saturdays,when they have, say, fourteen hours of leisure, ought they not have a “double dose?” Would there not be more rapid progress and less complaint under such conditions? Some little fellows, and girls also, utilize their Saturdays by helping their parents or earning a little money, but many, very many, especially boys, absolutely live in the streets on that day, learning lessons, it is true, but lessons that are not found in school books. NL A.C. od Unsanita ractices in the Schools. To the Elitor bf The Evening Star: Anent the diphtheria scare allow me to suggest that the practice of some of the teachers in calling in the school books at night and giving them out again indis- criminately in the morning is about as conducive as any method that could be devised for the spread of diphtherla and other disease germs. Why should not a pupil be assigned books and be allowed to keep them throughout the term? As soon as I heard of the above practice 1 bought my children a complete set of books that they could keep in their pos- session. Another practice in the Washington schools is offensive to sound sanitary no- tions. Why should not each child be given a numbered peg for hat and clouk, and be allowed to keep it for the year? I do not think the numbers would cost very much and no more pegs would be required than at present, although they could be a little further apart with profit. We sup- pose the louse must good naturedly be recognized as a school institution, but why help him spread himself over heads where his presence is recognized as an offense and an unspeakable abomination? If the house fly is a carrier of disease germs what 1s to be said of this perambulating disease spreader? No wonder we have diphtherla, chicken pox, measles and rearly every other con- tayeous disease in the Washington schools. The wonder is we do not have more. M.D. LPO APE LOE EEA MEM (<LN|E A “E. P.

SUNDAY SCHOOLWORK Continuing the Annual Convention at First Congregational Church, THE WORK OF THE UNION Morality the Basis for Citizenship and Government. SEVERAL ADDRESSES ‘The fourth session of the sixteenth an- nual convention of the District Sunday School Union, which began Monday even- ing, was held last evening at the First Con- sregational Church, Rev. Dr. Newman, pastor, 10th and G streets northwest. As was the case at all the previous ses- sions of the convention, the attendance was very large, and the proceedings were lstened to with great earnestness. The meeting was opened at 7:30 o'clock with a song service, the male chorus sing- ing a number of pieces, under the direction of their leader, Mr. Percy S. Foster. The service was impressively rendered, espe- cially when, just at the close, Mr. Foster requested the audience to unite in silent prayer for two minutes, which they did, Mr. Foster during the final thirty seconds offering an invocation aloud. The formal exercises were begun at 8 o'clock with President P. H. Bristow in the chair. Devotional services were conducted by Rev. Dr. L. B. Wilson, presiding elder of Washirgton district; Baltimore confer- ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church. “The International Sunday Schcol Con- Maj. C. H. Carrington. vention, Which Met at Boston Last June,” was the topic of Rev. Mr. Ferguson's ac dress. After speaking for a few moments, Mr. Ferguson was taken ill, and asked to be excused from making any further re- marks, as he was unable to proceed. He became deathly pale and had to be assisted from the platform. The incident caused a mild sensation, but before any alarm had been created in the minds of the audi- ence Musical Director Foster announced a hymn, in singing which most of those pres- ent participated. ‘The Broad Organization, Mr. Milan Reynolds of the International Sunday School Union was the next speaker. He would not, he said, take up the subject of the Boston convention at the point where Mr. Ferguson was compelled, on account of his sickness, to leave off, and would only say that the Boston convention was the culmination of 42,000 Sunday school con- ventions held throughout the land, espe- cially in the country districts, during the last three years. Continuing, Mr. Reynolds said in part: “Picked men and women gathered there from every part of the Union to teach the youth of the nation.” Mr. Reynolds then related in detail how a canvass was made in Illinois during the recent campaign, and the result in the state foreshadowed with accuracy @ays be- fore the votes were cast, and also ex- plained the various steps taken to organ- ize township, county and state conventions. “There are,” said he, “three branches of work we are extending. First, the house- to-house canvass, so that we hope when the next triennial convention meets in 1S9) that we can say that there are whole states in which every family in the state is visited once every year and invited to attend some church, and I understand there is to be a house-to-house visitat‘on here. “Another thing we are pressing is the home department, or the study of the Bible at home. What good is a Bible if it is not opened? “Again, we are not satisfied with the kind of work that is being done for God. I believe that the poorest work that is done is done for God. I think we ought to do our very best for God. A great Iaany people do poor work for God because they do not know how to do good work. “These questions stimulate teachers to do better. We cannot tell the amount of work that is being done by them. The primary department has been wonderfully improved during the last few years as the result of this. There is in Washington Calvary Baptist Church, the finest Sunday school building in the United States, if not in the world. Who would have thought a few years ago that any congregation would De a punaey. school building? is what has been don the result of education. pe “The weak point of our Sunday sch fs in my judgment the intermediate ae partment. From some cause we lose our boys after they leave the primary depart. ment. wees, are queer institutions. Iz e Was any way to get men w having boys I would be glad of it. sae But a teacher ought never to tell his or her class, no matter how bad her boys might be, that they are bad.” Mr. Reynolds then related a very inter- esting story of how an earnest teacher had managed to get a class of very bad boys to become very good ones. sh “Three-quarters the public men of erates who are to be is country,” ¢ Mr. Reynolds, “will come out of ae try Sunday” schools of this country Where,” he asked, “did President-elect McKinley come from? From a little coun- try Sunday school. Where,” he continued ‘did William ‘F.’ Bryan come from?” Int stantly the sound came from every part of the house. Willam J. Bryan not “4 but the speaker did not correct. his error. and after saying that Mr. Bryan also c rom a small Sunday school, we: mere Y School, went on “I believe that the future of this coun- try is not based upon wealth: it Is pot ppon our public school system, grand as » bu believe is dependent u; morality of our youth. P| UPOH the “There is nothing known of morality outside of that taught by the Bible. This book is not taught in our public schcols. But little is taught in the family. Jf the word of God 1s not taught in the public school and In the family, where but in the Sunday school is morality to be taught. “We want to continue and extend the work of the Sunday schol throughout the land, specially in the coun-ry places, and we want not only sympathy but your finan- cial aid. The cry for help from the Sun. day School Union is coming ap ‘rom every part of our Union, and even from Mexico and Newfoundland.” After explaining the condition of the colored people of the south and the ur- gent need for the establishment of Sunday schools in the south, during which he said he sometimes feared for the safety cf the Union, because of the fact that there are a million and a quarter of color2d children in that section who do not attend either day schools or Sunday schools, Mr. Rey- nolds made an appeal for funds to aid in making a house to house canvass in this city in the interest of the District Sanday School Union. One of the representatives of Calvary Baptist Sunday school responded by plecg- ing $50, but there being no further answers to Mr, Reynolds, Dr, Domer explained to him that while the Sunday schools of the District were heartily in favor of the pians of the International Sunday School Union, it was the custom here for the superin: tendent of each school to consult with his teachers before taking any important step relating to matters of the school and that this was no doubt the reason there were no more offerings at the time. He had no doubt, however, he said, that every school in the District Union would Jo its full /, WAVAVAYAVAVINAAYAVATANAY wy AVRUS Don’t bear ought to see for yourself that Pearl- ine’s easy way of washing—soak- ing, boiling, rinsing—is better for ? the clothes and better for you. ms Wie PCUMNEC the burden of the wash-board any longer.

The District Union. “The Sunday School Union of the Dis- trict of Columbia has never,” said Field Worker Johnson, imed any authority nor assumed any supervision over the schools here, nor attempted to establish any mission schools within the District, but has sought to elevate the standard of teaching. With this object in view it has held normal institutes and conventions of the best kind, promoted home class de- partments, and generally speaking hi; tried to Keep our District work in touch with, if not abreast of, the Sunday school work of the rest of our land. This object is set forth in one brief sentence in article 2 of our constitution, viz., “To promote ihe efficiency of Sunday ‘schools in the District of Columbia.’ “Our District Union stands as the agent or representative of the larger work of the International Sunday School Association. The international association derives its authority and power from the delegated bedy known as the trievnial convention. | Sight of these conventions have been held—the first in Indianapolis in 1S72, the Lucius D. Alden. last in Boston in 1896. These conventions elect two great committees, one the exec- utive committee, made up of one member frcm each state, territory and Canadian province, and which transacts the business | of the association between conventions. | The other is the lesson committee, and is | elected at each alternate convention, or | once in six years. The lesson committee | is composed of fifteen members, represent- | ing nearly as many denominations, and serve without compensation. They select our lessons about two years in advance. “The needs of the international associa- | tion have increased so rapidly that where $6,000 per annum was required three years ago it now requires upward of $10,000 an- nually to carry on its work. At the Bos- ton convention $36,000 were pledged for the work of the next three years, of which our union fs to give $300. “This international association is the me- | dium, and only medium, of information as to the condition and growth of the Sun- day school work of our country. Being | stoutly undenominational, as is true of our union, we believe it accomplishes what no one denomination has or can ever hope to accomplish, in fostering and developing general Sunday school work.” More Delegates.
