movement is just being agitated in
New York City which If carried out will be
one of the most valuable educational meas.
ures ever set on foot among that large class
of young boys who, In spite of their youth,
form so important a part not only of New
York life, but of life in every city of any
size-the newsboys and bootblacks. The
originators of the movement intend to be-
gin the experiment with the newsboys In
New York, then If successful taking the
bootblacks in hand as well, and they pro-
pose nothing else than providing neat, at
tractive, and durable, though inexpensive
uniform for the boys with which the latter
will replace the rags now worn. The value
of such course is creating an esprit de
corps which will tend to enlist the sympa-
thies Of. such youngsters In other efforts
pertaining to civic pride, and at the same
time in giving them not so much an added
idea of their own Importance as an idea of
the appreciation which the public owes for
the part they play in serving it, cannot fail
to have a moral influence of the highest
order upon the youth of the city, a fact
which no persons are more ready to con.
cede than those students of society who
have studied the effect which a uniform
makes on man. 1t is to be hoped that
the project may be carried through.

THE OWOSSO TIMES.
EDMUND o. DEWEY. EDITOR
OWOSSO, FRIDAY, JULY z. 1899,

Every taxpayer who has the interests of
the Owosso schools at heart should make a
point to see that he Is at the annual meeting
of the union school district which-is to be
held next Monday night in the armOry.
There is no doubt about the standing of our
schools in comparison with others through
out the state and this high standing has
been because the voters of the district have
elected good men to positions on the board
and have then stood by them For this
same reason OwossO has got far more for
the money than many other places through
out the state. The men whose terms ex-
pire this year and swhose successors will be
chosen Monday night are both thorouvhly
experienced, and trusted business men, Mr..
A. E. Harthshorn and Mr.. Herman
Frieseke. In reference to the latter it may
be said that there is no other man who I'M
derstands the equipment, the heating and
ventiating arrangements of the four
school buildings as we'll as he do s, and by
his economical management Of these mat
tiers alone he has saved the district thousands
of dollars, and If elected will be in posi-
tion to save them hundreds of dollars more
by knowing just how much more service
the various parts can be depended on for.
Both gentlemen should be reelected, how
ever, by complimentary majorities.
