After this had been done, Mrs. Mackay asked
permission to arrange. paper, paint and decorate

privilege to decorate room for the faculty,
which is greatly needed. After the meeting was
over Mrs. Mackay asked permission to address
the board.
She said that in future she did not wish to be
known as Mrs Clarence H. Mackay, of Harbor
Hill. but simply one of the members of the
Roslyn Union Free School.
Il have been much misquoted" said Mrs
Mackay in regard to the views / have eX-
pressed regarding manual training. I simply
want the school children Of Rosyn to leave this
school useful citizens, and not useless for the
worlds battle The girls should be taught plain
sewing the boys how to become useful citizens.
Nothing more"

ence H. Mackay is president held its monthly

lutions expressing the appreciation of the people

the two welfare experts w. B. c. Nazro and

Shonts, of the Isthmian Canal Commission, and
Chief Engineer Stevens to the isthmus last

the welfare department of the National Civic
Federation TO investigate and report to the COM
mission upon plans for improving conditions in
canal construction. Messrs. Nazro and Moffett
made a statement. saying, in part:
Speaking generally, it is well known that con-
dltlons on the isthmus have been unfavorable
for the employment of labor Yet, at the same
time. our investigation warrants saying that
they are not so bad they have been repre-
sented. At the same time should say that
the isthmus with its tropical climate is no
place for a man who expects to find all the
creature comforts to which he is accustomed at
home. A man unaccustomed to the rough side
Of lfe or, at least, unwilling to meet it, has no
place the isthmus.
We believe the efforts to better the conditions

tinued with more intelligent direction
