Calendars are probably the oldest
form of literature in the world. The
cards which appear by the millions in
ali civilized countries nowadays have
their counterpart among the most an
Client known races. The Aztecs, for ex-
emple, were well supplied with calen-
liars, and several Of them have been
preserved to this day. They were pub

One of the greatest needs of South

THE NEW SCHOOL SITE.

The fact that more room will be
needed Mt school MOL within n few
years does not appear to warrant tho
erection of q new building in King
street in preference to a site south
of Gordon street. In the first place
tho building south of Gordon street
would relieve No. l to a great extent.
Secondly, the building Of No. 7 in
Paterson street would establish an
entirely new school district.
1t would then be found that the
district for No. 1 would include that
section of the city which is well built
mp and the increased attendance there
would pot be considerable. To ac-
commodate what increase there might
be, an addition of four or six rooms
conld be built to No. 1 the same as is
now being done at No. a.. AS No. z
grew the same additions could be
aided. In fact, at the slatter school,
the greatest increase in attendance
would be found. This would prevent
the gathering of such q large body of
children in the business SO ction.
By building No. T in Paterson street
now, the crowded condition would be
relieved, the children would DO more
scattered and the school yard would
not be taken away from any school.
Then, as the attendance grew the four
or six room additions could be added,
still keeping a greater part of the
school yard and not bringing such n
large body of children in one place.
From its location and general sur
roundings, there is grave doubt
whether No 1. should ever have
more than a four room addition. A
IT'LL VI bWGlN0 IuUn uullUlOH WOulu
he too much to add to one building,
especially situated as No. l is. Yet,
b. putting q new building In King
street is practically an addition. AS
long as a building will be needed
south of Gordon street within a few
years. build it now and add the extra
rooms TO the different schools as their
attendance increases. A petition
signed by hundreds of taxpayers favors
the Paterson street site at once. The
bu siness men of tho city ask for a
school south of Gordon street. Mayor
Seaman and one or two others seem tc
be alone in the King street idoa. The
matter seems, now, to be up to the
Board of Estimate and Board of AL
dermen. 1T is a question for them
whom they serve, the wishes of the
Mayor or the request of the represent
ative citizens and taxpayers.

The failure of the New York Daily

esting lesson III the m~aking-or not
making-of newspapers. Few people,
even in the business appreciate how
much Frank A. Munsey paid for his
two years experience. 1t certain ly
was n very costly lesson. When one
figures out how much Mr.. Munsey
paid to learn that he is not fitted for
the New York daily newspaper bust
ness, one will be surprised that he
did notify to get the News away long
ago. Following are approximate
amount spent by Mr.. Munsey OH

ponder. If Mr.. Munsey had spent
