atriotism. In London and elsewhere, the people were
organizing workmen's clubs, colleges, and institute unions, for mutual
improvement, and glimpses were already caught of Morris's "Earthly
Paradise that is to be."

"Then a man shall work and bethink him, and rejoice in the deeds of his
hand,
Nor yet come home in the even too faint and weary to stand.
Men in that time a-coming shall work and have no fear
For to-morrow's lack of earning and the hungry-wolf a-near.
Oh, strange, new, wonderful justice! But for whom shall we gather the
gain?
For ourselves and for each of our fellows, and no hand shall labor in
vain."

Free night schools over the country, for the child of eight to the man of

George was familiar with the generous gifts and deeds of the Pratts of
Baltimore, and of Brooklyn, of Carnegie, of Lorillard & Co., of Warner
Brothers of Connecticut, and of the Messrs. Tangye of Birmingham,

George Ingram organized an Educational Bureau for the improvement of his
employees and others by evening schools and public entertainments. As

1. Several study rooms and good teachers.

2. A large and cheerful hall, church or opera house for lectures, that

4. Variety and quality in the entertainment, with no wearying pauses
between the parts. The movement must be swift and sure.

5. Punctuality and business-like thoroughness in the management. Begin
and end on the minute. Give exactly what you promise; or, if that be
impossible, what will be recognized as a full equivalent. Ideas, not
words, old or new on every helpful subject in the universe, spoken or
illustrated. Music that rests or inspires, and is understood.

6. Sell 5,000 season tickets at $1.00 in advance to secure a guarantee
fund; this is sound business, as success is then ass
