HOW 1T GROWS.
Ballard Taking the Lead Of all Sound
Cities.


Cities.
No clearer demonstration of the growth
of community can be given than the
figures of the attendance at the public
schools. Where the number of pupils re-
main about the same, season after season,
there is every evidence that place is not
growing very fast, but when the number is
more than doubled in less than three
months the indications are that the city is
growing rapidly.
The report for the month of March of
the Ballard schools. which was published
yesterday, shows 3S5 pupils in attendance
while there were but l53 in all the classes
at the opening of the year. This doubling
of the number of pupils in such short
space of time necessitated the enlargement
of the schools.
The public spirited citizens realized this
fact and ordered the new schoolhouse con-
structed 1t is believed on all sides that
by the time the schools open for the fall
term the number in attendance will be at
least 500. These figures show distinctly
how rapidly Ballard is growing and the
wonderful prospects it has.

noArds aun kSMarnass.

A middle-aged man who left this city
for the larger one to go into business
surprised his friends here on his return
on visit by appearing without the
full beard which he wore on his depar-
ture. With his jaunty mustacbe, which
was the only relic of his hirsute APP
pendages, he looked quite youthful and
was hardly recognized by his acquaint-
ances. On asking the reason for the
change he said: ga man must look
young in New York to get business; my
full beard streaked with gray was an
obstacle to my success there, though it
was help to me in Boston," | suppose
there is enough basis in this experience
Of the transplanted Bostonian to serve
as text for discourse on the slow
going business methods Of this city as
compared with New York, but there is
something to be said on the other side
of the question. The rush and the
whirl of American life are moderated by
a system of conducting business which
leaves time for interest in something
besides money-making, and it is pleas
ant to have the gray beard recognized
as a sign Of maturity of experience and
judgment.-Boston Post.
