Any trial of the new lighting sys- m at this perfod of the vear is de- hdedly unfair. It is difficult to tell bhether the lights are an im- rovement over the old because of e manner in which Main Street is rightened by the store windows with hristmas holiday displays. Conse- ently, the soft glare of the new ghts is overshadowed. There is no binsaying the fact that the stand- ds, or posts, upon which rest the test illuminating features of the city e more graceful than the old-time bles. From an architectural stand- bint they are all that can be de- red. That the light itself is weak ‘comparison with” the rays of the [d lamp may be due to any ome of number of reasons. We prefer to blicve that after the holidays, when e stores discontinue their gaudy ndow : displays, the city lighting will vindicate itself. corner n ould seem tersection verlooked vorks. near new stem NO USE GROWING OLD.

The game Is ever a rush ta beat old Tempus. In this case the fourth year men of the Pulitzer School went on | strike because they believe they were | overworked. They were assigned to write a history of Jjournalism in Philadelphia, a very dignified subjeot. That it had to be written against time is nothing out of the ordinary. Some day these same students will prabably be out in the very midst of the game; then they will learn what it means to race against the tick, tick, tick of the clock. If they are inside men they will welcome such a long period as three-quarters of an hour in which to prepare any given article, from the obituary of a King to the history of the city in “which they might toil. If they are “on the street” they will do as all reporters before them have done, stay out of the office until the last minute, and then come in and rush through their stuff, finish- ing within a reasonable distance be- fore press time.
