THE NEW YORK APARTMENT
HOUSE,

The stranger visiting New York. espe-
cially the stranger coming to the city
down the Hudson or the East river. will
observe here and there huge buildings
that make the structures around them
look like doll houses. He will wonder
what they are. thinking they must be
some mighty public building. like 81
gantic postotiice or city hall. They are
nine to thirteen stories high. In point of
fact the huge structures are apartment
houses. They are full of floors and
suites of rooms to be rented to families.
The suites are called apartments. or prop
erly " flats" The buildings are usually
constructed with hall in the middle
ON this hall, going up floor after floor.
the front doors of the suites open. Each
flat has. besides. small inside hall of its
own. Light and air are secured to each
room by an offset in the building which
lets down u deep, hollow square in the
midst of four walls. In fact. however.
the flats of tall apartment house that
are near the ground get little or no sun
light in the middle rooms. The top floors
are the best.
The best way to avoid dark rooms is to
make one common entrance from the
street and have the great central hall run
parallel with the street instead of at right
angles to it. Many of the most approved
| Hat houses are now built in this way.
The apartments string along the hall
sideways instead of running back from
the streets.
The largest of the Hat houses have ele-
vatorS. All the best are provided with
electric bells, warmed and carpeted a. to
/ halls and ianitor, who looks after things
/ in general. \ very important person he
/ i. too, sometimes tyrant. Flats are
very pleasant for grown persons to live
/ in. bur they are rough on children. and

The evening was now far passed, and

often heard in the assembly of the Sagcs.

Here the sage approached and saluted

THE MEANING OF BONANZA
From the Philadelphia Ledger


In an English magazine an attempt is
made to give series of AmericanismS ::
that is to say, words coined or invented
in America. Under the word Bonanza
the definition is given-"Spanish, a big
scheme by which honestly, or otherwise.
much money is made" Upon this Il
critic pounces and says thar bonanza
means good fortune or good luck" Bo-
nanza is indeed Spanish word, and very
naturally came into use in California or
Nevada. But it does not mean "a big
scheme" or good luck" 1t is a nauti-
cal-a seagoing-word, and means fair
weather AT sea. If the reader will refer
to st, Matthew, viii, 2G. he will read that
after the Lord rehuked the wind and the
sea, "there was a great calm" And if
reference is next had to the Spanish YER
sion of the New Testament he will find
the phrase there given, luna grande bo-
nanza." 1t is easy TO understand how the

Women as School Commissioners

Women as School Commissioners.
The appointment by Mayor Grace of two
women to be members of the board of ed
ucation OF New York city attracts "A good
deal of comment. The idea of course is
not new one. Women have had for ten
years past the same right to hold Office re.
lating to the schools in Vermont that men
have, and have sometimes held sucb
Offices. In Boston women serve success
fully on the school board and there is
certainly nothing repulsive or unladylike
in the acceptance of such a trust bv vro-
men. The presence of educated women
on school boards may often be of decided
advantage to the schools Boston has
found it so; and Boston schools are ac-
knowledged to have no Supporters in the
country.
Mayor Grace has shown excellent iudo.
ment in selecting the two women who are
to serve upon the board of education of
that city. One of them is Mrs. Apnew.
the wife of.the distinguished oculist who
is the mother of eight children, row
adults, some of whom are strongly inter
ested IN charitable and educational work,
me other is Miss Dodge, a granddaughter
OF the late William +. Dodge. Miss
Dodge is well known in New York as an
accomplished woman and an earnest
philanthropist, who has also interested
herself in the study and practical obser-
walton of the best educational
methods. The New York board of
