In all OF the marvellous development with
which Mr.. Hoadley has been connected his
friends say that he has proved himself to be
one OF the greatest upbuilders Of America, and
that he well deserves the tribute paid to him a
few weeks ago IN the Waldorf by the vice-pres-
loent OF one Of the great trunk lines OF rail-
ion. the most brilliant mechanical genius in
America"
Returning to the American Locomotive Com
pany and its future. should II develop that the
ternal combustion locomotive supersedes steam,
this would only augment the business and the
pronts OF the American Locomotive Company,
since II is the only concern in the country pre-
pared to control the development OF the electric
or the HOadley-K Knight locomotive, and change
from the steam locomotive to the electric or the
Hoadley-Knight would create such unprece-
dented activity in railroad and locomotive build
ing operations as to demand an increase in
building facilities far beyond what the United
States now possesses
Brilliant indeed as are the prospects for the
material advancement of this country. amazing
beyond human conception is the outlook for
the upbuilding of the iron and steel and rail-
road interests OF the United States. one great
fact stands out clearly, and that is the domi-
mating position held in all Of this situation by
the American Locomotive Company through the
ownership OF every locomotive plant in the coun-
all the vast development of power interests OF
al kinds by Mr.. Hoadley and the international
Power Company through its Identification with
the American Locomotive Company, its control
Of the great engine works of New England. the
manufacture Of the Diesel engine and the Hoad-
ley-Knight engine. and its ownership Of a con-
troll of one of the largest and most successful
coal and iron companies Of the South. 1t is quite
probable that there is not in America another
such reu1arlIa BILE conbna ation Of widely ramified
and yet closely allied interests as in this case.

PROTEST AGAINST SHORTER SCHOOL HOURS.
HEAD WORKER OF THE HENRY-ST SETTLEMENT
SPEAKS FROM THE FULNESS OF EXPERIENCE.

different. and the necessity for the school 70
assume definite place IN the further protection
Of the children Is vital one.
For the working mothers 1t IS a great COM
fort 10 know that for FIVE hours each day the
little ones are not only out Of danger. but un-
der the best available surroundings. In the
listing conditions Of tenement house life this
consideration weighs heavily IN favor OF the
longer day in the minds Of all whom have
consulted.
Finally. the school career OF many children is
sadly short. Many pupils are older children
than the first year classes are planned for. but
they are assigned to these grades by reason OF
being newcomers. unacquainted with the English
language. These children are not only capable
OF working during the five hour sessions, but
they are in urgent need Of all the instruction
that they can get. To shorten the school day
for them Is to infiict distinct hardship upon
them, for whatever they may be doing at any
given period Of the day they cannot fail to be
learning English. which is their most vital need
II the all too short school life Of these children
IS still further abbreviated by the reduction Of
the school day IN the first year classes the num-
Der Of abnormally old children in all the classes
will be increased. Even now. the last school
census shows that out OF the S7676 enrolled
children in the first year classes. nearly $4,000
children were over seven years Of age. and
10000 were eight years OF age or over.
It is for these reasons that should like to
protest against the proposed shortening Of the
school day. LILLIAN D. WALD.

A TEACHER

would rather teach school than do any other
work for q great many reasons. The first IS
that even though one must study hard and for
a long time in order TO be capable OF teaching.
set il Is much easier for girl to study and later
70 teach than II is for her to be on her feet all
day in a store as a clerk. or TO be confined in an
Office all day. and six days in the week as a

good and a teacher can live better afford more
books and other luxuTfes and have more time
20 enjoy her books than most girls IN other occu-
pations She can also have more time for exer-

Sir: The members OF the Nurses Settlement in
Henry-st, who base their opinions upon long
continued acquaintance with the public schools
and the children who attend them; members OF
the settlement clubs, parents. elder brothers and
sisters. are unanimous in protesting against the
proposed reduction in the length Of the school
day. Some OF the reasons for this are as follows:
The five hours OF school permit Of intervals
Of relaxation and change as little children are
readily wearied when kept at brain work for
long stretches at time. and for that reason
are not able to cover as much ground in the
shorter day as in the longer one.
In the large classes which prevail among the
first year children. they cannot get enough indi-
vidual attention from the teacher in the short
day to enable them to learn as much in the
longer day.
The habit of regular school attendance in the
child should be fixed from the time Of entrance
into the school life: When from the first the
children attend for the full day. school appears
to them as the most important thing in their
daily experience, and from the habit of regu-
larity thus formed they derive the strongest re-
straining and disciplinary experience open TO
them.
When. on the contrary. they go to school for
three and half hours only. 1t becomes mere
incident in the excitement OF the street life and
loses its Importance in their minds. AS a re-
suit many children form the habit OF truancy
while they in the half-time classes, habit
which it is exceedingly difficult TO correct later
Thus needless burden is laid upon the truant
officers, upon the teachers, the parents. and. .in
the long run. upon the children themselves.
Conditions Of city life are excessively difficult
for little children. and it Is Of Importance for
them 10 have a safe refuge. under the skilled
care of teachers, to make up for the lost freedom
and variety Of the country childs life
In other communities. when the children are
dismissed. they turn to play and occupations in
their own gardens or homes or IN the uncrowded
thoroughfares. In New-York the story is quite
