MARTIN'S SUNDAY EVENING MEETINGS on the gen- eral subject of "Great Moral Leaders of the Orient and their Teachings for the Occident," are proving to be very successful. The best evidence of this fact is the remarkable increase in the attendance. The meetings began with an attendance of three hundred and sixty persons and grew so rapidly that at the third meeting it had more than doubled itself; the at- tendance being eight hundred and thirty. It is quite apparent that Mr. Martin has succeeded in making a new field for himself which seems at the same time destined to become a val- uable extension of the activities of the Society. The meeting consists of a brief but very lucid address by Mr. Martin, one or two hymns, and a discussion of the evening's topic. Mr. Martin has been invited to give a second course of lectures before the "Colony Club." His subject for this course is to be "The Ethics of the Old and New Testament," and the course to consist of ten lectures on Thursday mornings, beginning November 16th. ON FEBRUARY 19TH the Sunday Morning Address will be given by Mr. Cecil Delisle Burns, of London, England. A few years ago, when the Papal Encyclical against Modernism was issues, Mr. Burns, who was a friend of the late George Tyrrell, one of the prominent leaders of the Modernist movement, quietly withdrew from the Catholic Church after having been a priest for several years, and lecturer for five years, on philosophy in the Catholic College n Rome. Since then Mr. Burns has been engaged in speaking for the University Extension Society in England and before the Ethical Societies in London. He recently arrived in this country to give a course of lectures on The Civilization of the Middle Ages before the University Extension Society here. On January 15th Mr. Burns spoke before the Philadelphia Society on "Optimism and the Divine Discontent; Tennyson's Tithonus." He is now coming to our Society for Sunday, February 19th, highly recommended, and the opportunity to hear him should not be missed. Mr. Burns will speak to us on "Modernism, Old Creeds and a New Faith." On Sunday, February 26th [19th], it will be the privilege of the Society to have on its platform one of the best representatives of the Colored Race, in the person of Mrs. Mary Church Terill. Mrs. Terill is one of the few colored women of distinction. She is the wife of Judge Robert H. Terill, of Washington D. C., a well educated person, and a fluent speaker. Mrs. Terill enjoys the distinction of being a member of the Board of Education of the District of Columbia, perhaps the only woman of her race in the United States holding a seat on a Board of Education. She will address the Society on Sunday, February 26th [19] on "The Bright Side of a Dark Problem[?]." The opportunity to hear this representative of the Colored Race discussing such great problems should not be missed. At four o'clock, on January 31st, the School graduated the ten young men and women of the February class. Much of the disappointment of the Deltas, the exercises had to be held in the gymnasium instead of the auditorium as was originally planned. As a matter of fact, this seemed almost an advantage. There was an unusual air of coziness and warm family feeling as friends, parents and teachers gathered close about the graduated. Most of the class have been with us many years, and we have watched them almost from babyhood, so that it was with real fatherly, motherly and pedagogical pride that we sent them forth on this first stage of their journey. As is the custom of the School, the exercises were exceedingly simple; the School orchestra and chorus furnished the music and Dr. Adler delivered the address. Miss Marion Brettauer presented the class gift to the School--a copy of Valesquez's painting of Menippus and Aesop, and Mr. Lewis accepted it with full appreciation of its artistic and ethical value. The class has been an unusually homogeneous one and we of the School feel that we have lost many interesting members, though we are counting on them as a strong addition to the list of alumni. During January the Business Men's Group has had two successful meetings, at which some very interesting and important questions were discussed. One was a lecture on Efficiency as a Basis of Wages," by Mr. Harrington Emerson. The second meeting was opened with a short address by Mr. William D. Ernst, on the educational work of one of the largest department stores in New York City, of which Mr. Ernst himself has charge. Then followed the main address of the evening by Prof. Herman Schneider. Prof. Schneider is dean of the Engineer Department of the University of Cincinnati, and in that capacity has promoted, with remarkable success a plan of combining education with work. This has been made possible by standing agreements which Prof. Schneider has been able to secure from the railroad and factories of Cincinnati. These agreements make it possible for the Students of the University to spend part of their time working in the shops of these companies and part of it in the University classroom. This feature of industrial education Prof. Schneider explained to the group in detail. An additional series of equally important lectures is being planned, notice of which will be sent out to the members in due time. The eleventh annual performance of the Sunday Evening Club for the benefit of the Hudson Guild Library will take place on Friday evening, March 3, at the Carnegie Lyceum. The play to be presented is one of Daly's comedies, "Seven-Twenty-Eight," also called "Casting the Boomerang." Every effort is being made to maintain, and if possible to raise, the standard set by previous plays of the Sunday Evening Clubs. For tickets to this performance application should be made to Mr. Edwin Berliner, 234 West 139th Street. Attention is again called to a course of six lectures by Dr. Felix Adler on the subject of "The Ethical Attitude Toward the Woman's Movement." These lectures are under the auspices of the Women's Conference. The first of these lectures is, however, not to be given on February 13th, as announced in the January number of the NEWS-LETTER, but on February 20, at 3:15 P. M. The Women's Conference is also offering a course of three lectures on the "Limits of Luxury." The first of these was given on January 30. The two remaining lectures will be on "The Effects of Luxury of the Wage-earner," Monday, February 27, by Prof. Carl Kelsey, of Columbia University; and "The Effects of the Luxury on the Well-to-Do," Monday, March 27, by Dr. Felix Adler. The lectures will be given at 3:15 P. M., in the Assembly Room of the Meeting House. Admission to the lectures on "Limits of Luxury" is free and the public cordially invited. Admission to the course on "The Ethical Attitude towards the Woman's Movement," is by application to Miss Myra Plaut, " The Beresford," 1West 81st Street, who will also give any additional information about the course. The Young Women's Union had its annual dance on January 14. The spirit of it was particularly delightful and informal. Many ascribed this to the fact this it took place in the new Meeting House -- the first one to be given there. Nearly everybody felt free from that subtle self-consciousness one feels in strange quarters. It is gratifying to know that the Meeting House actually promotes the spirit of fellowship. The German Club, under the direction of Miss Frieda Adler, has been so successful that in response to a further demand a second club has been formed, which meets on Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 P. M. There are still some vacancies and anyone interested should apply to Miss Rose Gruening, 36 East 57th Street. The Young Women's Union is preparing for the "Annual Benefit." The proceeds of the Benefit are to go toward the maintenance of Camp Moodna, the well-known Summer work of the Union. The Young Men's Union will hold a special meeting early in February. At this meeting some very important problems will be presented for consideration, the outcome of which will be of vital importance to the Union itself. Notice for this meeting will be sent to all members, and it is hoped that every member will be present at that meeting. The informal dinner given by the Bronx Group, at University Hall, on January 20th, was well attended, a total of 40 members and guests being present. The guests of the Group were: Dr. John L. Elliot, Dr. Henry Neuman, Mrs.Henry Neuman, and Dr. R. A. Tsanoff. As a means of promoting sociability the dinner proved a success beyond expectation. Everybody left the dinner highly pleased and full of expectation. Aside from this pleasure the gathering had the privilege to listen to addresses by Dr. Elliot, Dr. Neuman, Dr. Tsanoff, Mr. Marx, Mrs. J. T. Rose, and Mr. Harry Davenport. On the last two Saturday evenings, January 29, and February 5, the Bronx Group was addressed by Dr. David Saville Muzzey, on "The Need of Moral Education" and "Idols and Ideals." The lectures in the past have been very well attended. The Bronx group, further, announces the formation of an Adult Sunday Class, under the leadership of Dr. R. A. Tsanoff, to take up the Study of Dante. The Harlem Group held its regular meeting on Thursday, January 17, 1911, at the home of Miss Goldwater, 59 West 140th Street. For Monday, February 6th, the Group is planning a theatre party for the purpose of seeing "The Faun." The events at the Down- Town Ethical Society for the month of January were: Jan. 7. Intermediate Dance at Clinton Hall. Jan. 13. Illustrated talk on "What is Good Music," by Miss Florence Allen. Jan. 29. Civic Meeting- address by ex- Judge Wadhams on "Direct Primaries." For February for the Down- Town Society announces the following events: Feb. 10. A recital of "Hansel and Gretel," by Mr. Walter L. Bogert, before the Intermediate Assembly. Feb. 12. Lincoln's Celebration- address by Dr. Henry Moskowitz. Feb. 19. Parents' Meeting- recital of Jewish Folk Songs by Platon Brounoff. The Down- Town Society is very much in need of volunteer club leaders. Anybody who is willing to serve in that capacity should write to Mr. Walter L. Solomon, 216 Madison Street, New York City. The Brooklyn Society announces the following lectures for February: Feb. 5. Mr. Edwin D. Mead: "The Larger Patriotism." Feb. 12. Mr. John Spargo: "Socialism as an Ethical Force." Feb. 19. Mr. Percival Chubb: "The Relation of Ethical Societies to Political and Social Reform." Feb. 26. Mr. Percival Chubb: "Can there be a Religion of Democracy."

These forms include the Seven Arts: Drama, Music, Literature, Sculpture, Painting, Architecture, and the Aesthetic Dance.

Our Basis of Union I We aim to increase among men the knowledge, love and the practice of the right. II. As means to this end, our Society devotes itself to the following specific objects' I. Meetings in public at stated intervals, and the maintenance of a public platform for the enforcement of recognized standards of right, the development of new and higher conceptions of duty and quickening of the moral life. 2. Systematic moral instruction of the young founded on true pedagogic principles. 3. Promotion of continued moral self-education among adults, by forming classes and groups for study and mutual inspiration. 4. General educational reform, with main stress on the formation of character at the purpose of all education. As means to this end, our Society devotes itself to the following specific objects: I. Meetings in public at stated intervals, and the maintenance of a public platform for the enforcement of recognized standards of right, the development of new and higher conceptions of duty and the quickening of the moral life. 2. Systematic moral instruction of the young founded on true pedagogic principles. 3. Promotion of continued oral self-education among adults, by forming classes and groups for study and mutual inspiration. 4. General educational reform, with main stress on the formation of character as the purpose of all education. 5. Earnest encouragement of all practical efforts which tend to elevate social conditions. 6. Such other specific objects as the Society may from time to time agree upon. III. Interpreting the word "religion" to mean fervent devotion to the highest moral ends, or Society is distinctly a religious body. But toward religion as a confession of faith in things superhuman, the attitude of our Society is neutral. Neither acceptance nor denial of any theological doctrine disqualifies for membership. IV. The supremacy of the moral end is implied as a cardinal truth in the demand for ethical culture. Members of the Committee on Hospitality and Trustees in attendance each Sunday morning will gladly furnish any information with regard to the Society, and application blanks for membership. A certain number of free pamphlets may be had on application. Other literature published by the Ethical Societies is on sale Sunday mornings at the Book Tables in the vestibule or during the week at the Assistant Secretary's office, 33 Central Park West.

WOOLSEY, Connecticut VICE-PRESIDENTS, MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND STATE CHAIRMEN ARE EX-OFFICIO MEMBERS OBJECT The League is not a stop-the-war movement, neither is it an anti-preparedness organization nor is it a peace-at-any-price endeavor. It purposes to secure the maintenance of peace after the close of the present war by the use of economic and military force. THE WARRANT FROM HISTORY Throughout five thousand years of recorded history, peace, here and there established, has been kept, and its area has been widened, in one way only. Individuals have combined their efforts to suppress violence in the local community. Communities have co-operated to maintain the authoritative state and to preserve peace within its borders. States have former leagues or confederations or have otherwise co-operated to establish peace among themselves. Always peace has been made and kept, when made and kept at all, but the superior power of superior numbers acting in unity for the common good. Mindful of this teaching of experience, we believe and solemnly urge that the time has come to devise and to create a working union of sovereign nations to establish peace among themselves and to guarantee it by all known and available sanctions at their command, to the end that civilization may be conserved, and the progress of mankind in comfort, enlightenment and happiness may continue. THE PROPOSALS We believe it to be desirable for the United States to join a league of nations binding the signatories to the following: FIRST: All justiciable questions arising between the signatory powers, not settled by negotiation, shall, subject to the limitations of treaties, be submitted to a judicial tribunal for hearing and judgment, both upon the merits and upon any issue as to its jurisdiction of the question. SECOND: All other questions arising between the signatories and not settled by negotiation, shall be submitted to a council of conciliation for hearing, consideration, and recommendation. THIRD: The signatory powers shall jointly use forthwith both their economic and military forces against any one of their number that goes to war, or commits acts of hostility against another of the signatories, before any question arising shall be submitted as provided in the foregoing. FOURTH: Conferences between the signatory powers shall be held from time to time to formulate and codify rules of international law, which, unless some signatory shall signify its dissent within a stated period, shall thereafter govern in the decisions of the Judicial Tribunal mentioned in Article One.

The National Negro Conference was organized in 1909 by those who believe in a free platform for the discussion of the national Negro problem and feel that the actual facts concerning it should be laid before the public. There has been no effort to put the Negro situation squarely before the public as a whole and in a scientific way. Even those who believe that civil and political rights are necessary to secure industrial and educational opportunity often feel that the situation is too delicate, and popular passion too heated for profitable discussion. The widespread support given to the first conference has amply justified the promoters in their opposition to any such policy of compromise or delay in bringing out the facts. The first conference held in New York City in May, 1909, was wholly successful and attracted a great deal of attention, The conference this year will take place on May 12th, 13th and 14th and will discuss the various phases of the Negro problem from the point of view of disfranchisement, such as the effects of disfranchisement upon the courts, upon the citizen at the ballot box, in the industrial field, in education, etc. Many prominent speakers have already accepted a place upon the platform. You are earnestly urges to lend a support of your name and your presence. OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD, Chairman.

AN INVITATION TO EDUCATORS Durham, N.C., March 1, 1916 THE NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL, DURHAM, N.C, extends a cordial invitation to the heads of Universities, Colleges and Secondary Schools for the education and training of colored people in the United States to be the guests of the School November 21-24, 1916, for the purpose of Conferences, closer unity and understanding of the needs and educational requirements of the colored people. Among the subjects to be discussed particular stress will be laid on the following: 1 What is the opinion of the Educators themselves in regard to the duplication of work in Schools in the various communities? Has it been hurtful, unwise and wasteful? What plans ought to be fostered to correct the evil? 2. To what extent should classes devoted to Teacher Training be encouraged? How and where located? 3. What system should be devised to meet the requirements of the rural Teacher? 4. What should be the standard of the University, College, Normal School, Teacher Training and Secondary Schools? 5. How should students be received from one to the other? 6. To what extent should religious instruction be carried on in the various Schools? 7. Should there be a general clearing-house for aid for Negro Schools? 8. Is the aid given by the various Funds and Boards to Negro education wise, economical and helpful? Many other and kindred subjects will be announced on the tentative program, which will be published in the early Fall. This Conference has been suggested by a great many who desire to know the actual condition and needs of the School devoted to Negro education from those who are actually doing the work. No Conference in recent years will be more far-reaching in its effects than this. The guests will be entertained free of charge by the National Training School. Durham itself presents a field of study and inspiration, which will be furnished by no other city of its size in the country. Do you approve of such a Conference? Will you be present? Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Yours for service, James E. Shepard President National Training School, Durham, N.C. TO THE FRIENDS OF EDUCATION THE NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL, AT DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA, is unique among the educational institutions for the Colored race, based upon the conviction that the elevation and salvation of the race lies in a large measure in directing the emotional, religious nature of the Negro into practical channels and sending out men and women fitted to cope with the social, industrial and religious problems of the day. This School is not, therefore, a duplication of existing institutions. Although only six years in existence it boasts of a strong faculty of fourteen, a student body of well nigh two hundred, a campus of thirty-two acres, improved by ten school buildings, and represents an investment of over $150,000. Large schools cannot do the real constructive work absolutely needed to develop a young race; hence, if a particular group of well-selected persons are reached and trained and sent out to reach and train others it is a vast saving of time and money. The prime aim is to lift the race into racial consciousness, thus helping it to come into its own, and thus by serving and lifting itself it will also serve and materially aid the State and Nation. We are anxious to meet the needs of the ever increasing number of students. The added outlay which this will involve, no less than the heavy expenditures of money for past improvements, compels us to make a strenuous effort to secure $88,000 within the next few months. The money so raised is to be divided as follows: For current expenses 1916-1017: $17,000, for new buildings $56,000, for heat and water $15,000. With this secured the Board then appeals for an endowment of $250,000. The raising of this money will obviate the necessity of further pleas to the public for sometime, and will place the institution upon a safe and permanent foundation, relieving the President of the arduous strain of raising money, allowing him to turn his attention to the actual supervision of the School and planning more intensive constructive work. Because of its fine work in the past and because of the large field of usefulness into which the School should enter, we feel justified in addressing the public to win its interest and financial support for it. We appeal to you for your hearty cooperation in this great cause of Negro uplift. Send contributions to the National Training School, Durham, North Carolina. Most respectfully, JULIAN S.
