CHOOL begins to-day. A million boys and girls in this city are ready for another year of the training indispensable for useful, successful lives. For many of these children every month, every week of schooling is precious. Some must go to work at four- tee... Others can never hope for regular instruction after sixteen. ‘They cannot afford to miss an hour of school while it is still within their reach. ~ Yet at least forty thousand New York school children of all ages Who present themselves at school to-day must be refused more than half day’s instruction for each school day. There is not room for them. Whether they are beginners or entering upon the last year of s preparation all too short, they are deprived of half the priceless thing they need most. It is not fair. This city is rich enough to keep up with its edu- cational needs. If the Board of Estimate can’t trust the Board of Education with enough money to give the children a square deal, then there is something seriously out of gear with one or both of these bodies.

By W. W.

Among other amazing yarns of soldier Mte in ergeant-Major told of a monkey's paw which a Hindu fakir had rd into a talisman. The paw’s owner, he sald, might have three wishes from it. How he himself had come by it he did not make clear. But he produced the paw, by way of proving his story. The paw was a withered, disgusting looking little object. No one of hi India, the jcony © hearers really belleved the soldier's silly tale that the paw was 4 talisman; but White prevatied on Morris to sell it to bim for a trifle. After the visitor had gone the old man held the Monkey's Paw in his right hand and, morg in joke than not, sald “I wish for two hundred pounds.” As he spoke he sprang back, dropping the paw and crying out | “Aa T wished, it twisted in my hand like a snake!" His wife and son laughed at the trick his imagination had played him. And as the two hundred pounds ($1,000) did not materialize, they were more than ever certain that the soldier was merely an amus- ing liar, Next morning Herbert went off to work.

Young men in the conduct and man- agement of action embrace more than they cen hold, stir more than they can quiet, fly to the end without con- sideration of the means and degrees, pursue some few principles which they have chanced upon absurdly, Men of age object too much, venture spent too soon and contewt with the mediocrity of success.
