She suggested that atmosphere tn the House during our talk on the Public achool movement as a civic cen- tre, in which ehe ts deeply interested. Her natural, whole-hearted greeting and simple shirt waist and skirt attire| as she earnestly talked on this far-| reaching movement certainly betokened & deep inner sense of the benefits of which she spoke.

The scope of later work toward cleaner politics and social betterment cannot now be estimated. In truth, seemingly, citisens generally do Not get together enough to discuss the questions that are uppermost and are of special need in their own vicinity. Thus, very often, rules and regulatios come into being under which they must abide which do not entirely fe their case. “We should make the public achools the places in which people may congre- a to discuss their joint interests as Deginning.

I had suggested to Miss Wilson that! Mrs. Kirk was now endeavoring to put the moving picture shows in these #o- clal centre schools. Miss Wilson an- ewered: “That is very commendable, indeed. It would be a fine thing if the moving picture shows could be put into the pub- lec schools. Where now thousands of children go unattended to the moving picture shows and where the pictures are of such a nature as to be unsuited to the child mind, this entire state of affairs could be changed by the intro- | duction of the moving picture show in the public schools. Here the proper kind of pictures could be sclected and teachers might be in attendance for the Protection of the Uttle ones, Many edu- cational features also could be intro- duced in this way that would be gener- ally beneficial. ‘The whole thing also could be done at little cost in compart- gon to the many evils that now result, all of which would no doubt be a move for better citizenship.” Miss Wilson's attitude toward this question is volced by many promin women in New York, among whom are Mrs, Borden Harriman, Mrs. Sheridan and Mrs. Robert Halcomb, Mra.J.J.Van- der Griff of Pittsburgh has contributed considerable sums of money toward the work. Mrs, Kirk, who founded the so- clal schools in New York, says: “We are very glad to have Miss Wil- son take such active interest in this national movement. In New York we have #lx hundred thousand school chil- dren. There 's $200,00,00 worth of pub- Me school property that is used only during @ third of the twenty-four hours, Yet after school hourg these school- houses are closed to the many children and citizens that could make very good use of them, which we have found to be the case by actual experience in the schools we have used for that purpose. ‘There are 82 schoolhouses so situated in New York City as to fill these needs, which are growing, To utilize this great plant and constitute each schoolhouse fas a social centre would seem to be one of New York's greatest needs. I voice the words of Jane Addams, who sald: ‘I hope to see the day when every public school will be a socal centre. _— MISS JESSIE WILSON TALKS TO Y. M. C. A.

LONDON, April 12—Mra. Emmeline Pankhurst, the suffragette loader, was teleased from Holloway Jail this morn- ing after having been on a “hunger strike” since she was sentenced, only nine days ago, to three years of penal servitude. The Women's Social and Polltloal Union, the organtzation of the militant suffragettes, was not aware of the in- tended release ‘of Mre, Pankhurst, so that no demonstration took place when she Jeft prison. Even the suffragette sentinels on duty at the gates of Holloway Jail were do- ceived b police and were unaware of the departure of their leader until they saw a woman's arm wildly waving from @ taxicab window some distance away, The cab was followed by an- other vehicle containing detectives who are now keoping close watch on the Nursing Home, where Mra.

Now, on @ suggestion made by Manager Arthur J. O'Keefe, the work will be carried on until Monday evening, when a farewell dinner will be given to the committee- men at the Hotel Imperial. There those teams that failed to report at the grand rally held at the Twenty-third Regiment Armory last evening will try to raise the thermometer up to the desired $1 000. Despite the fact that the rain fell in torrents, nearly five thousand people assembled at the Twenty-third Rezi- ment Armory last night to witness what should have been the final meeting and to lend their enthusiasm and spread the “fever.” Every one present re- sponded to the cause, and more than $2,000 was collected from those present The cheering for the various teams was deafening. Judge George J. O'Keefe wan the prin- cipal speaker. He outlined the work of the campaign and explained what the Sisters of Bt. Peter have accomplished Judge William J. Carr and Judge Luke D, Stapleton also made brief addresses and offered their hearty co-operation. In order to help the cause along Mr. Kolle donated the use of Prospect Hall, Sixteenth street and Fifth avenue, for a moving picture and vaudeville show t begin to-morrow night.
