“nor Gives Schoolboys an Outing, Too. By Sophie Irene Loeb. ~ One of the war measures that will Ukely interest thousands of city boys ig now before the Governor, While the Brown bill is intended to pro- mote food production in farm work, it ds generally ‘delieved that this legislation will prove happy out- Ings for city boys and.at the samé time instruct them in agricul- tura] pursuits. It is one of the few war bilis that gives prom- ise of real constructive effort, since careful protection of boys during tho period of learning in the green flelds seems assured, ‘The bill relates exclusively to tho employment of children in agricul- tural pursuits and relieving children #0 employed from school attendance, and provides for credit to pupils who are engaged in military, agricultural and industrial service, ‘This bill has been confused by many associations with two other ‘Brown bills, which are deemed by these associations to promote the tn- terest of child labor. The bill re- ferred to, however, No. 1496, sat @uards (under the Board of Educ: tion) any boys over fourteen years of age who, with the consent of their parents, wish to work on the farm only for the period from tho first day of April to the first day of November of each year or any portion of thut period during the war, This bill has the indorsement of the labor organi- vations. Its main purpose {s aiding and per- forming labor in the cultivation, pro- duction and care of food products upon farms and gardens within the State, under regulations to be adopted by the Commissioner of Education, It also prescribes that.euch chil- dren shail not be relieved from at- tendance upon such instruction as re- quired by law except while actually engaged in performing such labor, The school authorities of each city and school district In the State may, under the regulations of the Com- missioner of Education, provide for the issuance of permits to children who are exempted from school at- tendance as provided in the bill, and may direct that such permits be re- voked for cause. Children so exempted from school attendance are under the supervision ot the school authorities, who must, under the rules, provide for their welfare and protection, A child shall not be granted a per- mit or be exempted from school at- tendance without the Gritten consent ot his parent or guardian District funds are to bo apropriated for tho purpose of supervision, wel- fare and protection of the children. Such charges are to be charged igainst the city and are to be paid in such manner as other charges against the city are paid. Tho expenditures of the Commis- sioner of Education in carrying into effect the provisions of the law are patd out of the sums appropriated by the State for national or State de- fense, upon tho certificate of the Governor.

Y., May 12.— The Westchester County Bullding Commiesion, through the Westchester County Chamber of Commerce, has issued its first report covering two years of its work in erecting a new $600,000 court house at White Plaing and a county penitentiary at East View, The commission shows that the total cost of building the court house and furnishing it complete was $587,- 445.60, while the appropriation for the structure was $600,000, The peni- tentiary was supposed to. cost $600,- 000, but the commission was also able to save money on this building, as its total cost was $430,000. A county almwhoure and a county general hospital, to about $1,260,000, are also under construc- tion, and when this work 1s completed Westchester will have the finest group of county ‘bulldings in the Btate.

Copyright, 1917, by the Press Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World.) You have often lamped visitorish looking folks in New York aiming ah interrogative eye at the place where our streets ought to be, You have often ogied ruralish appearing citizens tossing a mean gaze toward the flocks of lumber, herds of waterpipes and bouquets of derricks now clog- ging Manbattan’s baselines. New York has more streets that aren't streeting than any other town of its size on the premises. Very few streets are working at their trade. Occasional tourists and very occasional tourists who annoy them- selves by treks to this neck o’ the woods have often staked chronic New Yorkers to ah earful of mumbling relative to the Swiss cheesish cori- plexion of our boulevards and other junk piles. Even a politician coukin’t deny that our thoroughfares and other scrap heaps look as if somebody had tossed a moth on them. Every mecadamized lane and asphalted trail in the burg has been vivisected and amputated until you can’t recognize the original words and music at all. Any sieve would make @ fine map of New York. Broadway |s all swathed up in lumber bandages. « Seventh Avenue has o Marathon porous plaster of timber on its chest. Times|- Square is as full of logs as a lunchroom is of files, and the rest of the city proper and improper looke like a biscuit that the mice have been at You can’t take an ankle excursion down any one of the main stems that doesn't resemble a clinic. Every avenue is in plaster of paris casts and every street, is in eplints. All the boulevards are wounded. When the town was new the Indians sold tt for only thirty-five dollars, and it is in a terrible second-hand condition now, All the streets are unravelled. New York has some beautiful streets but nobody has seen them lately. All our avenues are on fur- loughs and all our boulevards have been cancelled by contractors. The are supposed to be building subways but that’s the bunk, Mayor Mitchel hasn't spilled the legal dope because he was afraid of espionage. Papa Joffre's little junket to America al- lowed the feline to escape from the burlap. New York has been estab- ishing trenches for the last five years, which is @ fragile guess at that, Old Pop Knickerbocker has been institut- ing trenches over since Kalsor Bill- helm started to think that the world fice walking.

What folks thought were subways were really trenches. We don’t toy with them when we're right and this time we are right. We are very right, Of course, that salve about sub- waya was morely to oof the spies. The public thought they were the ones who were belng gypped by the contractors who rushed work on the excavations with all the speed and vivacity of glue frappe. But that | hoa was merely to double cross the enemy. If we finished our trenches too soon they would be out of style and wouldn't get mentioned by Vogue's and Vanity Fair's wer cor- respondents at all, Stil, we have to hand the citizens credit for their good humor in the past ten years. ‘They have crawled like chamois through cheveaux de frise of seat- folding, gas pipes and manicuring sets of picks, shovels and crowbars. ‘They have endeavored to dectpher thelr way through code messages of planks, canyons and rigging omy to find themselves in a cul-de-sac of mortar mixers, granite crushers and steam shovels.
