Lack of Appreciation for Summer School in Bristol
A Bristol reader urges broader attendance at the Rhode Island Sunday School Association Summer School for Sunday school workers. The letter notes the event is nonsectarian, not a profit venture, funded by fees and supporters, with lectures and sections daily. The writer, who attended previously in East Greenwich, argues many Bristol churches undervalue the program and should enroll to gain benefit.

First electric light in London at the Gaiety theater
Floillingshead introduced six arc lamps at the Gaiety in 1878, startling the Strand. Gas shares fell as the lamps cost 200 dollars a week for nine months. An attempt to place one by the grand staircase failed due to women’s objections. Professor Wilson predicted electric light would gain acceptance after the Paris exhibition. Hollingshead had earlier fitted a Strand searchlight in 1869 but withdrew it to avoid frightening horses.
