PART TIME ONLY A PART OF WISDOM. * _A new, part-time system has been devised which, after: experimental use in one public school, is now to be put into general practice throughout the city. It applies only tothe smaller pupils. The working of the system is .. thus briefly summarized: Class A occupies the room from 8.30 to 10.90 in the morn- ing, plays quiet games under the direction of a teacher from _ 10.90 to 11.20, goes home for lunch between 11.39 and 12.30, and “takes its second period in the class-room from 12.30 to 2.15 _P'elock, Class B goes into the class room at 10.0 and re- * mains till 12.9), when it goes to lunch. At 1.90 tt returna, and “after playing games until 2.16 {t re-enters the class-room and remains tili 4 o'clock. F Scientifically, this arrangement {= based on the latest E ideas in child study. It provides for bringing little minds to that maximum of interest which can be sustained only : ). With the minimum of weariness. It is not good when a ‘ mall scholar goes droopily tired with study. It is to be undorstood, however, that no perfection of Part-time nthod affects the pressing demand for more Schools. Fresh rooms and exclusive desks are as !mpor- tant to Classes A and B as are any modern discoveries _ @bout the wisdom of shorter book hours, LAWYERS PLUS, JUSTICE MINUS. 3 Accotding to the report for 1908 just issued by the \ Regents, the professional schools of the State have tad @ very prosperous ten years since 1893. They show large Increases in force, attendance, equipment and en- * dowment.

Which is on a line with moat of the arrangements of this pervers world, where the wicked undoubtedly should suffer and the harmless un- doubtediy do, “Punish them by a tax," sald Father Moran. “Lay {t according to age; a Nght tax on a young man and a heavier one year by year. Men whose duty to parents or other dependent relatives pre- vents their marriage should be exempt. Apparently the Reverend Father did not realize that the one thing necessar: to convince the bachelor of the suprame excellence of the single state {8 to make him pay for it. And the more he is made to pay the greater will be his con- viction that he 1s getting his money's worth. Men—espectally American men—valuo most things by what they cost them, And to them a tax on bachelorhood would mean a premium on tt. As things are, It 1s double, not single, blessednesa that robs a man of his hard- earned shekels. And there are few even of the most self-satisfied bachelors who of marriage do not occasionally question the wisdom of their cholce. But once make bachelorhood the greater luxury, and what becomes of the final argument in favor of matrimony? Nevertheless there js a tax on bach- lerhood, not of money, but infinitely. more important than money. It Is the curse of yearly incr 4) and have 1,148 more students. This announcement may + de read with Interest along with some conclusions drawn by Frederick Trevor Hill in an article qn “The Menace * of the Law's Delay” in the current Everybody's. Mr. Hill asserts that— A litigation in New York can go on forever without tho amallest result. { No less than 45 per cent. of the cases appealed are reversed, Mr. Hill cites one case which ran twenty-one years, Boing through six trials and ton appeale. The rule of _ debt and credit procedure which the New York system _ fosters, he says, is to “hide your dishonest olfent in tho ‘court calendars and let his creditqrs seek him for a * couple of years.” ‘ “© The schools multiply the lawyers, legislators multiply the faws.

In explaining how {t {s that the gambling-houses of New Yorh are not, have not been and may not be closed, Inspector Walsh discloses both the pathos and the pert! of the police situation.
