The commencement exercises and annual exhibition of class work of the associate members of the Young Women's Christian association took place last evening at the association building, Flatbush avenue and Scher merhorn street. The exercises in Memorial hall were reserved strictly for associate members, but tho exhibit and the building, as a whole, were open to the public, and there was a largo crowd present ail the evening. Many more visitors had taken advantage of the afternoon hours to inspect the work of the various departments and all wero unanimous in praise of the excellence displayed by each and every one of the classes.

The millinery section, located on the sixth iloor and under the direction of Miss Venable, was the Mecca for a host of visitors, and the exhibit warranted the admiring words which wero heard on every side. Few of the regular millinery establishments have shown this season a more attractive, stylish or artistic collection of hats and bonnets than was displayed at the Young Women's Christian association opening. The trade class exhibit was particularly line, the pupils in this grade having given daily attention to the work for several months and qualifying for positions in millinery houses. From the millinery department the next visit was generally to the dressmaking division. The work, which is by chart, was very good, considerable notice being attracted by the examples of the handiwork of girls from 16 to 17 years of age, which were mostly wash dresses.

Material of all kinds was employed in the different grades, and the suit display was an uncommonly attractive one. In the white sewing department, in charge of Miss Laura Smith, were shown many specimens of expert needlework, both plain and elaborate, and tho embroidery class exhibit was a beautiful one, the dainty designs being carried out in white and also perfectly blended colored silk. A tour of tho cooking section completed the industrial exhibit and the tastefully arranged tables with their supply of simple and fancy dishes which looked tempting to a degree were duly inspected and admired. The junior table was especially noticeable, the display including roasts, salads and patties. In the other classes salads and strawberry short cake wero the most attractive dishes, together with a fine exhibit of bread.

Preserving and pickling is included in the course and specimens of cooking in this line were shown. The library with its new and standard books were also visited by many. In Memorial hall the exercises were very interesting and every seat was occupied. Mrs. Charles N.

Judsnti presided. An organ voluntary by Mrs. William Judson Whltaker was followed by scripture reading and prayer by Mr. Whiting, assistant editor of the Outlook. The annual report was read by Miss Benha West, recording and corresponding secretary of the active membership.

During the year there had been 1,024 additions to the roll of associate members. The organization began in 1SSS with fifty members. The number had increased to 7,900 in tho interval. Last year 2,340 took the educational courses. White sewing was taken by li.TS members, dressmaking by 25f.

The embroidery class numbered thirty. In the millinery class hats were made during the winter and spring anil of tho twelve students In tho trade cla.ss eight had secured positions. The languages, German, French and Spanish, were studied" by 14S pupils; arithmetic, 15; penmanship, 27; English literature, 40. The gymnasium claimed 300 salients, some of whom never missed a ies icn. In corrective gymnastics, 54 members were under instruction.

The exhibition of calisthenics under the direction of Miss Potter proved the attraction of tho evening. The showing was remarkably good. The third class appeared in a very graceful exercise with rubber balls in which the participants displayed much alertness and skill. The encore response introduced a fourth class who gave a fine exhibition of free 950 950 Wildncr. niort Interior lot.

Anthony Cooper, the 19 year old son of re spectable parents, was charged with steal ing a bicycle from the parade grounds yesterday by Officer Donolon, in the Grant street The annual meeting of the department of pedagegy of the Brooklyn institute, which was heid in the Art building yesterday afternoon, was marked by a lively discussion of the alleged evils of school commencements.

Professor Lucy Salmon of Vassar college, the first speaker, was unable to be present, ami her paper was read by Chairman William A. McAndrew of tho section oa methods. "The present typical commencement of schools and colleges," iMiss Salmon wrote, "is a relic of mcdiaevalism. There have been changes in commencejiients in this country, bult they have been slight compared with the changes in sc'nool management, theory and practice." Continuing, Miss Salmon said that in their essentials the commencement exercises of today are patterned after those of tho seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. "Every high school," said Miss Salmon's paper, "has now its commencements.

The evil in some cities descends even to the grammar schools, t'uat revel in the grandeur of graduating exercises." The paper closed by suggesting a total abolition of the elements of display, entertainment or exhibition in commencement exercises. After Professor C. H. J. Douglas of the Boys' High school had followed in a strain similar to that of Miss Salmon, Dr.

Walter Gunnison, principal of Erasmus Hall High school, rose to speak. Dr. Gunnison said that lie should find great fault with the whole tenor of the remarks of the last two speakers. 'It seems to me a horrible thing," said the speaker, "that the groat mass of our school children should be deprived of an opportunity to emphasize one of tho most important events of their lives. We hold ceremonies in honor of marriage and events; why not in honor of the completion of a legitimate course of study?" The truuble was, Dr.

Gunnison said, that teachers had been hearing jiienceineiu exercises of monotonous sameness year after year, and were heartily sick of them; but tha't was tin reason why parents and children should be deprived of the pleasure. He believed the essays read by pupils wore nest productions. At the close of the discussion tho meeting proceeded to elect officers of the department for next year. President Ward declining a reelection. Principal William L.

Felter was chosen president; Miss Sarah E. first vice president; Principal W. A. McAndrew, second vice president; Principal Lyman A. secretary.
