No one appears 10 know exactly who was respon-
sible for the omission OF the apostrophe. Dr. John
marlborough. who has been principal Of the
school since last September. says that ne doesn't
know. at ali events. and whenever he has occasion
TO write the name he the apostrophe. Possibly
IT was omitted in inscribng the the build
ing in order TO prevent the boys attending the school
from getting the idea that they owned the entire
establishment 1t may be added that In the annual
report OF Superintendent Maxwell the apostrophe
Is scrupulously employed in both Boys High School
and Girls High School
The two entries OF which mention has been made
have naturally given DR.. Mickleborough much
cation. The first made by Albert

being elected 70 the principaship OF the Boys High

strongly favored a candidate from out Of town,
while others strongly advocated the claims OF
another Brooklyn principal. Previous 10 his coming

FEW CASES OF LATENESs.

AT the beginning of the terms this year, on Sep
TENDER and February I. work got under way
with wonderful promptness. One OF the things
which the new principal has striven to overcome Is
the habit OF lateness into which some boys are
prone to fall. The record for the week ending
March &C. for example shows that in fourteen OF
the twenty-six rooms there was a single case
OF tardness that in each of six rooms there was
one boy late during the week. and that the total
number Of cases Of ateness was only twenty-five.
DIR. marlborough tells an interesting incident or a
boy who was repeatedly late last fall. and whom
nnally he directed to write essay on lateness.
The boy executed this task exceently, turning out
an exceptionally fine essay the subject, and the
effect on him good that he has not been late
single time since Another boy who was reproved
for the same offence, peccadillo, wrote the fol-
lowing note to the principal last Wednesday:
Realizing the fact that ateness Is detrimental 10
the smooth running OF any institution, and also
that 1t is becoming thing OF history In the Boys
High School Of Brooklyn. l assure you that snail
hereafter be pun ,tua.'
This signed not only by the boy, but by his
father. for when pupil in this school Is subjected
TO discipline for any cause, and writes a letter or
apology explanation, he must have II signed by
his father also. 1t being deemed wise TO let parents
know that their children not conducting them
selves as they should
The boys are encouraged u engage in all sorts
OF sports and the principal Is frequently consulted
about these matters. There Is an athletic assoca-
