BETWEEN RICH AND POOR.

1t is often remarked that too wide
a gap exists between the rich and
the poor; that the former are far too
lavish in spending, while the latter
are punched to a degree scarcely
conceivable to the well-tO-do. Pas
sing down Fifth avenue, New York,
not long since, a pedestrian was at
tracted by richly-dressed woman
who tripped out of one of the
fashionable hotels and took seat
in an automobile that awaited her.
Elegant as was her attire, my
lady of fashion would scarcely have
attracted attention had she not car
ried in each arm a tiny poodle.
Even the little dogs might have es-
capped attention, for New York has
many foolish women, if it had not
been for its ornaments. On each of
its fore legs were circlets of dia-
mOnds. :
Just a glimpse of Vanity FAIR, but
what a revel ton of cold selfish
ness, or at least, of selfish thought
lessness was there revealed. Later
IN the day business took the same
observer over INTO the poorer dis
trict Of the East Side.
There it was group of children

the slums. 1-ere were a dozen
flall '0ys III girls with pinched
IS AID ill-nourished bodies and
their sole plaything was an empty
match box with string tied TO it.
Truly the extremes of fortune.
The happy Christmas days are
coming once again-happy to the
more fortunate class, at least, but
infinitely joyless to many who are
under the blight of poverty. There
are, however, few so poor that they
cannot MAKE some others more
happy by sharing with them, and

the size of the Wisconsin blue book

big as to make at least $50 pages
more than were in the bulky issue
of 1905. The 1905 Blue Book con-
tanned nearly 1900 pages and the
1907 book would be nearly 200

whether the troubles complained Of are due
to the methods Of instruction or the aptness
OF the pupils.
schools this June, that is, the high schools
and academies, were arranged somewhat
differently than heretofore, under a new
plan for computing the percentages Of
pupils with a view Of protecting the duller
though none the less faithful students.
Heretofore a student had to have a per-
centage Of rs in every study.
To enable the Department OF Education
to issue Regents examinations that shall
fully protect the rights and interests Of
weak or slowly developing students, and at
the same time test adequately the knowledge
and training Of the most capable. the follow
ing system Of differentiated credentials has
been adopted by the department, and this
June's examination papers will be marked
accordingly:
IA diploma based upon general average
of e6.
IA diploma; with credit, based on a
"a diploma, with great credit, based
IA diploma with highest credit, based
on q general average Of 90.
In computing general averages the rating
Of any answer paper not below 80 may be
included. The State department believes
that this method Of computing averages
greatly outweighs In favor Of the student
any complaint that may be made as to the
oatbre Of the examination paper. Under
this method the general average a student
must have 10 pass the Regents examina-
lions Is practically reduced 10 per cent.
