LURING THE BOYS TO RUIN.

| l IS startling fact that boys who should as yet
 have little knowledge of the world are engaged in gambling. It is atrocious thing that men should be helping them along path the of which is downward. It is beyond comprehension that Grand Jury supposed to ferret out crime to act without fear favor should ignore the existence of poolrooms not only illegal in themselves but doubly illegal in that they cater to lads who are hardly beyond the stage of short pantaoons.
 Pupils of the public schools play the races They have learned not only do this but they have been corrupted by the vernacular of the track They talk not of youthful pleasures but of tips" They dis the qualities of various horses as shrewdy as lot of jockeys The slang of the tout is at the ends of their tongues Upon the outcome of race they freely bet their money.
 That this course must lead them to neglect their work as students does not need saying. That the n- huence IS bad in all respects is too plain to be con troverted. That 1t will lead many into actual crime there can be no question. Some boys do not have money to waste on Nothing can be clearer than that these boys will in instances be led into obtaining the necessary money regardless of conse quences. As no can serve two masters, no boy can attend to the important duties of boyhood-the preparation for manhood-and at the same time give himself in any degree to the passion for gaming, mad passion which has brought many promising career to somber close.
 Why do not the police shut the iniquitous places where the money is taken from boys? Why do they permit poolrooms to defy the law and be trap for children? If they do not know these things thev will appreciate this information If they are not able to find the offensive institutions The Call will point them the way. The boys need protection They have right to be guarded against the tempter The community owes this much to them and their parents

THE SCIENCE OF FORGETTING.

NA EMORY has been reduced to a science. II a .J man has knowledge that his recollection of Al names is bad he can overcome the defect. For instance fl the name of a person to whom he Is introduced is Snow and he is certain that he could not efgrave this his mental tablets he has only to make note that the signifies something which is white and cold and piles up in drifts This IS very simple and there can be no danger that in qury will have to be made when next they meet. By impulse which quickly comes to be second nature he will extend his hand and say Delighted to see you, MT. Snow" Such is the science of memory. The science of forgetting is something different There no rules for it. It is matter of instinct
 MT. Colnon seems to be master in the ability to forget to do it judciousIy modestly effectuay for getting only that which if he had choice in the mat ter he would rather not remember. This may be for tunate for him. To the world outside the Harbor Commission 1t may appear somewhat in the nature Of a calamity If there has been crookedness in that body, which heaven forbid, people would like to know about 1t. By natural impulse they turn to Colnon, and met by the assertion that he cannot remember. We'll if he cannot, to refresh his mind is
 simple duty and this The Call has for several days been trying to do-no 1t must be confessed, with the appreciation of Colnon the other members of the board. We venture the prediction that If they will carefully read the information printed in the local CoiuiS IL VIII StnldIate thought until ading recOI lection shall revive and the whole picture of the transactions in which the board has been concerned will stand out like masterpiece of bas-relief Then gancing at the picture, Conon will be able to de- scribe 1t in terms the most explicit.
 Often when man disappears with money belong ing to other he up later broke tell ing story of having forgotten all about his act of going away, of spending the money or of getting back. The cruel world has habit then of railing at him, advising him to spin his yarns to the marines and otherwise of making light of his sorrows Let the Colnon be a lesson to the world Here is man in responsible position who forget as fast and accurately the victim of the circumstances de- tailed above

If Alexander Guilmant, the great French organist, decides to visit San Francisco It will be interesting to see whether he will down the encore fiend and crush the enthusiast who breaks in with untimely applause before the last notes of the ac- compartment are sounded as he has done In New York. In New York the encore fiend reaches the ne plus ultra of hls development, but Guilmant has downed him; and as for accompaniments, they have been listened to at his recitals with as much respect as if they were solos. It is difficult to say where the Gu1lmant audiences have come from, be- cause they have been different from all other New York audiences this winter
