These buildings Delong to the people. It
is caid. who have paid Tor them, and It
is only just and right that they should
be used far more than they are' for the
benefit of the people. " There Is a great
variety of good uses; to-which school
buildings may be put without depart
ing in any -degree from the educational!
" iiM.-it inejr u.re primarily ae-
j voted. Education is a broad word and
i It properly covers not onlv th norv

the blackboard, but the service render

lecturer, the director of the free read
ing room, the debating club, the gym
nasium, the mothers' meeting or any
other agency that tends to uplift the
heart and mind and the development
of an all-around manhood and woman
hood. To the extent that the nubile
school buildings can be used for the
promotion of all such purposes as these
to that extent are they fulfilling the
crue ends of their existence and Justi
fying the expenditure: of public money
put into them.
Few. If any, will deny the soundness
or the argument thus advanced for the
utilization of public school buildings.
or the Importance of such service as
thus suggested. But while others have
been thinking and reasoning about the
matter. Dr. Henry M. Leipslger, of

"Washington and His Cabinet.' "His

The testimony to 'the value pf these
free lectures as an educational Influ
ence among the peoples comes from
many quarters and is voluminous. Per
haps the best of It is that which comes
fropi the people themselves who nave
received and who realize the ; benefit.
Dr. Lerpxiger- has -received fnany let
ters, strangely enough, complaining
that the lectures are too short and sug
gesting that they be extended frowi j an
hour to an hour and a half. One wo
man woo has attended forty lectures
writes; j "A busy and often very tired
woman, unable to spare much time or
sight for reading, gives thanks for the
pleasure and comfort I have enjoyed
through this means of Instruction.
An intelligent observer says, "I have
attended the Cooper. Union lectures
regularly, and have seen faces that
pain had carved as sharply as any
sculptor's chisel the marble some that
are beautiful with an eager-longing to
learn, and some indifferent and dis
couraged.' Another Writes, "I have
been going to school over again. An
other Writes, "The majority of us know
nothing but paved streets and brick
walla Nature, stands at our doors, but
we know, nothing of her. These lectures
give us instruction and mental exhilar
ation." No one can attend one of
these evening assemblies and see the
throngs of"- eager appreciative and
gratified people who. at tend them with
out feeling that the work is a noble one
and worthy jof the support of all who
love their fellowmen.

the fact that the assembly rooms where
they are held are invariably filled to
their utmost capacity. . usually by
adults, this being speically vtrue of the
lectures given in the crowded tene
ment districts where such educational
service is needed most. For example,
the total attendance in the school
building at Grove and Henry streets, a
thickly populated district down town,
last year was 13.278. at' Public School
No. 30, a densely populated quarter on
the Upper 'West Side, it was 13.430. at
the Educational Alliance building
down town it was 34.6SL The total
number of lectures given last year In
all the boroughs of Greater New York.
including Richmond and Queens, was
342. and the total attendance 928.251,
the average attendance for each lecture
thus being over 320. .
it nas Been Dr. Leipziger's Idea In
this movement, as stated in his own
words, to give "men and wemen whose
ir ji.crs ui monotonous laoor a
wider outlook: to bring them, in the
most interesting form, in touch, with
the principles of science and its recent
discoveries with the result of travel,
the. delight of music, literature and
art." In carrying out this idea It ha.
been found that the Froebel theory of
oojecx teaching is the most successful
and popular in practice. Of the 3,172
lectures delivered last year. 2.154 were
...usimiw tner with a stereopticon
or a series of experiments. According
to Dr. Leipslger a very gratifying fea
ture that has been evidenced during
the course of the past twelve years has
oeen the increasing demands made by
the audiences that have been trained.
The courses of lectures are arranged
at many , centers systematically, an
idea that has been specially emphasiz
ed during the present season. At
center, fifty lectures on history and lit
erature were gtven. At another, for
the past four years, each Saturday
night, a lecture on some sub tart in
natural science has been given.; At a
third centre, subjects relatfnc- to edu
cation have been the chief theme. It
has been delightful to those engaged In
the work to note the Increasing num
ber of those who wish
Ject more thoroughly and whn .ir

methods that characterize the univer
