the present time he estimated at 11200 of which 7000 were in the public schools and 4200 in the pa rochial and private schools He said that at the evening elementary schools about 1400 children attended of which he esti mated about 25 per cent were illiterate minors our hundred over 21 years of age were illiterate and the balance were capable of doing about 4th grade work In several of the schools there xvere many foreign speaking pupils: in the Morgan school about 40 per cent were of rench descent 20 per cent Greeks 10 per cent Polish and 5 per cent Germans with the remainder miscellaneous Tiie West street school was divided in a similar manner Whiting school Polish He told in the evening pupils and the to rnnelv He also said that better facilities were needed for handling the pupils He spoke of the efforts made to interest the moth ers and parents of the foreign popula tion in the formation of teach associations He thought that a knowledge of English was very desirable and to some extent would favor a com pulsory working knowledge of that lan guage There has been a marked de crease in late years of illiteracy in Hol yoke which he laid to the evening schools He said that a petition had been received by the school board recently asking tliat a teacher be sent to the Polish hall on Lyman street to teach the Polish chil dren and he also gave other instances of the eudeiivor to reach and interest the foreign population The chairman then called for a member of the board of health but it proved that no member was present it being stated that the secretary was ill and would be unable to attend Dr Julia Lewandowska was then called and said that the conditions in the mill tenements were very poor She laid con siderable of the trouble of the present conditions to lack of education and also said that the landlords were not strict enough iu seeing that the tenants kept their houses clean that the toilets were faulty with poor or no ventilation and that too many families hud to use cue toilet She also claimed that there was a lack of supervision of the midwives and did not think the board of health had the proper instruction She thought that the lage infant death rate was due to close quarters and lack of care saying that the Polish families many times took a number of boarders where the tenements hev did tins necause their wert low and they had to eave exnenses tsre said that there were many dark which were unhealthy and unsani She advocated the system used in Philadelphia where women under the direction of the board of health are sent to the foreign quarters to teach house keeping and cooking She thought many did not know how to prepare food property and that the kind of used here was different from what had been Accustomed to in Europe Rev A the associated ities was then called upon and gave par ticulars of their work and also spoke of the housing conditions rOin being ques tioned regarding the board of health he thought that one trouble was thatun deal ing with the situation the board was not backed up properly by public sentiment and for that reason were going slow on improvements planned He spoke of the agencies working for the betterment of foreigners in the city and regarding the high death rate for infaits said that this was largely so owing to the Brightside orphanage to which infants were sent from many towns and cities and should a death occur it is credited to Holyoke instead of to the place from which the child came He thought one of the needs of the city whs a doser co operation between the city government and the organizations working toward the improvement of the city He did not wholly favor the control of the lo cal health situation by the state A Hemphill was the next speaker and thought that a large share of the trou ble in the city was due to drink or igno rance and he gave some statistics regard ing it Pierre Duclos of the Society of Artisans was the next called upon ind he told what is being done in the parochial schools He thought the housing conditions in Holyoke were fair and were improving year by year lie did not think that the board of health merited the criticism which was
