With the opening Of the school season
another of the manifold sights of the city

the stalwart policeman there escorting
people everywhere across that great thor

means, that such escort work Is done.
On many othcr great and busy thorough
fares with swift trolley cars constantly
whining through them, such crossing work
Is now regularly done by the police. Along
all such thoroug hfares, where they are
tntersected by streets on which public
schools are located, policemen are always
ready at the opening and closing hours to
help the children over.
The children come more straRglingly at
the opening hour. but at the closing hour
they come In companies and battalions,
to stand at tho curb and wait to be pioted
over. And then the policeman herds
together bunch OF them and holds up a
warning hand and starts, massive figure

in clothing of most varieRated hue.
With the calm deliberation of one accus-
toned to command, at least among drivers
and motormen, the policeman marches the
other already assembled and waiting; and
this he repeats until all are over.
This Is a sight now to be witnessed daily
at scores of busy crossings and 1t is one OF
the pleasantest and prettiest sights OF the
great city.
