FIFTH “PLEASANT FRIDAY EVE-
NING" TONIGHT.
Tonight. at the Smith Norwalk
Methodist Episcopal Chuxch. the fifth
of the series of "Pleasant Friday love
pings" will be given. Miss Ruth Pul~
mer Phillips. of New Haven, will give
a series of recltatlve sketches and
readings which. it is confidently ox-
peeled. will delight all who hear. The
entertainment has been widely ndver~
tiaed and a record-breaking Friday
evening audience is expected. No
doubt, the success and excellency of
the four entertainments already lven
has caused much of the ex ctancy
for this. the fifth. During th even-'
lug. Miss Phillips will sway the emo
tions of the audience, first by pathos
and then by humor. She has the repu-
tation of a skilled and talented eiocus
denim, and pleases wherever and
whenever she recites. it is not often
that an artist of Miss Phlllips‘ ability
can be heard free of charge. but to
night is the conspicuous exception. for
excluding the collection all the "Pleasc
ant Flyidsy Evenings“ are free to the
public. The New Haven Register says
of Miss Phillips:
"Miss Phlllips‘ reading of Guinevere
was a revelation. She has that rare
something called temperament and the
gift of drsmtic interpretation. Added
to the revelatory character of her
work she'paascsses a trained ‘Sand
.fladdful body. in short. Miss bil-
lips is an artist."
A personal commendation may also
be added:

cited before the students of the Na-
tional Park seminary. and her “laven-

Steam. the circulationgof currents.
humidity and other similar fathers are
now accounted of more importance in
the heating and ventilating of schools
than formulae concerning the uu‘iouut
of oyxgeu and carbonic dioxide in the
air. according to Frank lrving Coop-
er. a school house architect. of Boston.
lie informed the congress of American
School Hygiene Association. which
met in the Academy of Medicine, in
West Forty-third street, last night.
that pupils who worked in a more or
less humid air were brighter in their
studies and more energetic than those
who worked in the ordinary dry air.
its also demonstrated the eillcieucy of
currents of air.
The architect declared that there
were made in the country thirty-two
different kinds of humidifiers. which
were used to impart a little atmosplicu
to moisture, but that they were princi-
pally used in factories. Sometimes. he
declared. the apparatus was put in for
the good of the material structure. but
that the main couslderatiou among our
ploycrs was to keep their operatives
bright and active and thus gel more of-
ilcleni work from them.
Mr. Cooper also presented statistics
showing that comparatively few of the
States has any laws governing the pro-
per construction of school buildings,
although the safety, heating and light-
log of theatres are reasonably taken
care of by local regulations. At his
suggestion the council will take up a
plan for co-operation between the Am-
erican Society of Healing and Ventil~
sting Engineers and the association.
The engineers were recently address
ed by Dr. Luther Halsey (lulick, presi-
dent 0f the association. when he
pointed out the recon! developments in
bygenic heating and ventilating.

Eliot. formerly president of llnrvnrd
University, on school instruction in

ground that children should he instruc-
ted in the laws of nature in early years
through the medium of botany and zoo-
logy. lie would also dispense with
fanciful stories concerning the mis-
sion of clerks in the world. Dr. ltiiot
also declared that he would have only
one standard of morality and that its
principles should bc taught to tho
young.
The congrcsa will be in session
the remainder of the week.
