An unexnecteA reast.


 Provost Harrison. of the University of Pennsylvania, is always looking for an opportunity to help This boys" as he terms the 5000 odd students at the university. Such an opportunity came on Monday, and the provost made about 150 college boys feel real good. There was a luncheon at the Free Museum of Science and Art given to delegates to the national conference on chart- ties and, corrections by the university. As the. weather was indictment many of the expected guests did not turn up, and as a result a quantity of daily food was left over. The provost was not at any loss. however, to dispose of the unserved food He ordered 1t sent over to the students club. Houston hall, a square away, where 1t was spread out on huge table in the lobby. The viands included two huge salmon, measuring nearly three feet apiece in length, Ia large platter of chicken salad, about 100 deviled crabs, some twenty five quarts of lee cream and plenty of rakes. The news of the unexpected feast soon spread around the campus, and class rooms were emptied for the time being by the students, who, not withstanding that 1t was scarcely an hour after lunch time, attacked the food with 8 will. In less than twenty minutes they had swept everything clean. The boys then gave cheer for the provost and went back to their studies.

opportunities for the children, when the parents are failing to avail them selves of the advantages already pro- vided. have no doubt but that there could be found. on any school day. at least a hundred children in the city of Montgomery out of school unable to show any reasonable excuse.
 There is no greater power for good, than that rested in the hands of our newspaper staff, and we beg that the weight of their influence be welded in aiding the women of Alabama to ere ate a sentiment that will demand the passing of a compulsory educational law that will compel the attendance of each child a certain number of school days Some will tell us that the State is not ready for such a bill, but surely certain cities and counties are equipped and provided for the pass age of such a law. have been en- couraged to think from the articles that have appeared in each of our papers during the past week, that the time is not far distant for the passage of such a law.

striking Eyeglasses.

T. is common opinion, says the Jewel CTS Circular Weekly, that for striking a man with glasses on there is se- verer penalty than for striking him un- der similar circum stances when he is not wearing glasses. Careful search, however,v does not bring forth any statutory provision which declares the offense greater when the man who is struck wears glasses. The prevalence of this idea is due, no doubt, to the probability of the judge. in such cases. giving the convicted the extreme pen alty. The legal term for assault un- der such circumstances is mayhem, ' slgnifying that the assailant has, in one way or another. depprived his vic tim of the power of defending himself.
 During an altercation from which a struggle :s apt to ensue anyone wearing glasses would be wise to remove them, unobserved. If possible, however. be- cause if noticed it might act as d sig nal to begin hostilities.
 Many think that glasses would be a source of general protection in these cases, and often take advantage of that ground; but this Is wrong, because no court would hold 1t worse to strike a man with glasses than one without, unless the assailant struck directly at his opp onents eyes, with the intent to wound or maim him, and whether one were hit Elsewhere than on the eye

Hunter charged in his book.

to 10000 underfcd children in the
schools of New York, his state
ment was laughed at and de-
nounced as a gross exaggeration
by the comfortable ''molders of
public OPINION" and one or two
labor papers also took up the pluto
crat yell and denounced the state
ment as 'fsocialistic rot" But
now comes the committee on phys
zeal Welfare OF School Children
and makes a shocking statement
as to the physical condition of the
children in the public schools of
New York City. The committees
experts have made a thorough
investigation III representative
schools in different quarters, ex-
aiming about one-sixth of all the
school children in the city, and on
this basis, the committee declares

offer no remedy for the present de-
piorable condition except to adj
wise the fathers of the children to
