" 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 of the teacher with the text book, and the blackboard, but the service render ed by the public: librarian, the public 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 -New voTK, has for these many tures on such, a variety of topics as "Washington and His Cabinet.' "His toric NeTr England, "Our .Inland Seas, "Famous Ruins t of i Tuca tan." Castle of Old England," "The Vale of Cashmere "Under the Southern Cross" and "Life Among the Zulus.

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. nurj nan mo ueveiopea and., ex tended under Dr. Leipziger's wise, en inusiasm and unwearying devotion that It has come to be a distinct de partment of the city's educational ser- "v - uuuer nit- general direction or. a special committee of the Board, of Ed ucation with Dr. Leipziger at the head as supervfsor of lectures; The ex penses of the work are provided for In the regular school budget.

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.
