The Atypical Child.
From the New York Tribune.


That the board of education is working
out plan for charging the work among
atypical children was announced yesterday
afternoon at a conference on this subject
held under the direction of DR.. Elias G.
Brown at the board of education. The de-
tails Of the plan had not yet been formu-
lated, DR.. Brown said, but 1t was hoped
that something would be done at no dis
tant date. DIR. Brown said, however. that
the board was not trying to find cases for
special classes, and that many cases might
more satisfactorily be dealt with by little
more individual attention on the part of the
regular teacher and a little cooperation be-
tween the home and the school.

Undirected Destiny.
From the Baltimore Herald.

From the Baltimore Herald.
Multiplying government functions is only
an indication Of the passion of a people to
influence as widely as possible the course
of their destiny. But the overt influences
that make for national life and character
are, after all, inconsiderable, as compared
with those forces that are entirely social
and are Independent to an extent of the
nature of the political organization. Much
is said and written upon the subject of ma
tional destiny when those who so express
themselves thereby mean directed destiny.

MEETING TODAY OF
The JOCKEY CLUB
Stewards VIII Convene in New York
to Decide Upon Dates for
Racing Season.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Stewards of the
Jockey Club Will meet today, and at
the conclusion Of their session the dates
Tor the racing season OF 1905 win be
given out. While no one can or will
speak with authority on the matter
there Is good ground for the statement
that all negotiations for the sale of the
Aqueduct track are Off and as far as
that course goes 1t remains an applicant
for dates. This being The case. there
was much gossip in racing circles yes
terday as to what disposition would be
made Of the request of the New York
Jockey Club for dates.
To coneede its request would mean
that all others would be forced to re-
linquish some of their dates. and 1t is
now rumored that this concession Will
could be found last night who would
admit that the stewards had finally
agreed as TO just what would be done
about Morris Park.
One man known to be intimate with
many Of the lawmakers of the state
went SO far to say that Morris Park
would receive no dates; that AQueduct
would receive twenty days; that the
Jamaica track would be given twenty
three days, ano that all the other as
soeiations woule. be given the same num-
Der as heretofore. with Belmont Park re-

SCIS S0RS AND N Ell S O NJ
Same Fold Gained Both Falls-Did
Not Bridge Long-Preiimi-
naries Were Good.

Joe Grant threw Harvey Parker last
night twice with the scissors and half
Nelson hold. The first fall was gained
in twenty-five minutes and nfty-nine
seconds, and the second in twenty-one
minutes.
1t cannot be said that the match was
what the thousand spectators wanted.
Parker did not wrestle with his usual
vim and appeared IistIess. He was on
top the greater part of the time, and
showed every evidence of knowing how
to use his old tricks. but seemed to think
that he was making easy money any
how. and would not have to work hard.
Grants Busy Legs.
Largely through carelessness Parker
was caught in the scissors in mix-up
while he was trying to land a Nelson
and crotch combination. Grants long,

was a bad hold and no mistake.
s<rt ne has climbed out of many tighter
places than that and had he wreStied in
the way which made him a champion
he could have escaped. He bridged only
Tor "a few seconds, when IN previous
able to bridge for minutes, and the gen.
eral impression was that he deliberately
went down in order to save himself the
trouble OF wrestling any longer.
Same Old Story.
The second fall was a duplication of
the first IN nearly every particular.
Grant assumed the offensive only in
spots, and then could accomplish little
because of the skill OF his opponent. On
the defense he broke P.arkeris holds and
brought his legs into play to prevent
being turned over. In another mix-up
the scissors and half-NeIson occurred
again. and once more Parker went TO
the mat after brief bit of bridging.
The match was a good exhibition, but
the spectators We're not pleased, and
would have been better satisfied If Par
ker had exerted himself more and given
them a run for their money.
Parker said after the match that the
scissors hold weakened him far more
than the spectators supposed, and that
despite his skill and experience he could
not escape He also said that he was
getting old and that he would not make
any more matches after being so de-
cisively defeated by Grant,
Rockville to the Fore.
The preliminaries were good and ex-
citing. The surprise Of the evening was
the showing made by a Rockville youth
who Travelled under the very appropriate
name of Scissors He was built like
surveyors compass. and his dispro-
portionate length of leg was greater
than that of Grant He made short
work of Charles Merron, throwing him
the first time in little over minute, and
the second time in less than five min
utes.
