The Worth Of a Boy.

We are requested by teacher in our
public schools to publish the following
article which recently appeared in the
journal of Education" from the pen
of DR.. N. c. Schaeffer, who is State
Superintendent of Pennsylvania and
president of the National Educational
Association:
"What is boy worth? What is an
education worth? An Indiana jury
awarded 1899. 80 for the killing of a bo {.
A friend of mine, who is superintendent
in West Virginia, called that award an
outrage. | asked him why. He an
swered: TO say nothing of the value
of boys personality and all that boy
is to his father and mother and home,
the commercial value of boys time
at school is more than the award of
that Indiana jury | asked him how
he made the calculation. He said: You
find the value of boys time at school
by subtracting the earnings of a life of
uneducated labor from the earnings of
a life of educated labor. Then he gave
me a calculation that have used this
year before every institute, for l am
anxious to get it into the daily papers,
to have it carried to every schoolroom
and put upon every blackboard, SO that
the pupils may carry it home and dis
cuss it with their parents.
"He said: If an uneducated man
earns sl.50 a day for 300 days in year,
he does very well; and if he keeps it
up for forty years, he will earn sl.50x-
3OOx4O, or $4,000. An educated man
is not generally paid by the day. but by
the month and by the year. If you will
strike an average of the earnings of
educated men, beginning with the Pres
ident of the United States, who earns
$4,000 year, the presidents of the
insurance companies and Of large rail
road companies, and run down the scale
until you come to the lower walks in
point of earnings among educated men,
you will admit that 81 600 year is
low average for the earnings of cdu-
Gated labor. For forty years you have
$40, 900 as the earnings Of an educated
man. Subtract sls. 900 from Gao, 900,
and the difference, or SO, 600 must rep
resent the value of boys time spent
at school getting an education
"You will all admit that man who
works with his hands at unskilled labor
puts forth as much muscular effort as a
man who earns a livelihood by his wits
and education. Now. if s22, 900 repre-
sents the value of time boy spends at
school getting an education, what is the
value of day spent at school?
''The average school life of every
boy and girl in Massachusetts is seven
years of 200 days each; let us say that
it takes four years more to get good
education. Reckoning eleven years of
200 days each. you will find that the
2,2OO days at school are equal to s22.
and simple division on the black board
will bring it home to the comprehension
of every boy that each day at school,
properly spent, must be worth $40.
Zone director asks whether it is a
violation of the compulsory law if a
farmer keeps at home his eleven year
old boy to plow, because it costs 81
day to get some man to do it. While
he is putting Il into his own pocket, he
is robbing the boy of $40 in the shape
of future earning capacity. Is not that
high-handed robbery by the father of
his own child" ?"-Pennsylvania Report.

All normal school bills were
killed by the legislature on ac-
count of too large a number of
applicants. Gunnison, Delta,
Grand Junction and Glenwood
Springs were after the school for
this part of the state. These
towns had better get together
and flip nickels to see which one
will receive support of the others
before they apply again. The
Western Slope should have a
school of this character, but to
get it all effort must be concen-
trated on one town.

ty we know of concluded he could
save ten dollars a month which
he was spending, not foolishly,
exactly, but needlessly. He re-
garded the theater, lectures,
books and magazines necessities
and did not curtail any there.
The savings amounted to nearly
twelve dollars month. This was
eight or nine years ago. He
bought some lots on the Install
ment plan, paying ten and re-
Gently fifteen dollars a month.
He could now get back the thous-
and he has paid in, less about two
hundred dollars interest, and at
least 81, 500 advance on the prop
erty, making So, 200 cash. Many
young men could pay for a nice
home in ten years with the mon
ey they worse than throw away.
1t is not necessary to be mis-
erly in order to save good many
dimes and quarters every week.

 cert Given by Young People of the
 Church of the Messiah.
 An entertainment ofunusual meritand pleasure was given in the vestry of the Church of the Messiah and under the auspices of the Young Peoples Chris tan union last night before a large au- dlence.

 His program is a unique one. He kept the audience in convulsions of laughter and won for himself rounds of | well deserved applause. A particularly taking feature of his entertainment is his speciality "The Miser's Dream Others who took part in the evening s entertainment were R. M.

MINIATURE ALMANAC.
THE POPULAR AFFECTION FOR
 ROOSEVFI,T.

It is doubtful if any other Presi- dent has ever established such cordial relations with all the people, young and old, as President Roosevelt. The affectionate expressions constantly heard not only regarding the Pres ident, but in reference to every mem- Der of his family are unusual and ex- traordinary The recent illness of his young son, Archie, stimulated remark able interest especially among child ren, everywhere and in every Ameri- can home the White House bulletins regarding the progress of the disease were watched for anxiously, and a general song of praise was sung when Archie Roosevelt was reported to be tout of danger" Whatever the severest critics of the President may say-and he has a number of them none can deny that he keeps closely in touch with the people, and that he has their sympathy and support, re- gardless of political considerations, to an extent without parallel in Ameri- can history. Realizing this fact as the President does, he must feel the great weight of responsibility he now car ries. It is a heavier burden than any other of the worlds greatest rulers is called upon to bear.-From Leslie s Weekly.

 On Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings services will be held at 8 o'clock. On Thursday and Friday mornings a procession will follow the mass. On Saturday morning holy wa ter will be blessed and distributed.
 The sermons on Good Friday and Easter Sunday will be delivered by Very Rev, L. F. Kearney, provincial of the Dominican order in the United states. Father Kearney's ability as pulpit orator is we'll known to the peo- pleof New Haven, and, therefore, needs no words of commendation from us.
 This is the day which the Lord hath made let us be glad and rejoice there- in" These words of the psalmist are adopted by the church as the keynote of her feelings on the joyous feast which We celebrate as Easter. There is no other day in the entire year in which she manifests such tokens of joy and gladness as she does in her office and liturgy of that day. The sor- rowful penance of Lent is but prep aration for the gladness of Easter.
 The services on Easter Sunday at St. Marys church will be at 6, 7:90, g and 10:3O o'clock. The 1O30 mass will be a solemn high mass, after which will fol- low benediction of the most blessed sacrament.

DAvY SHELL THIS YEAR.

Yale has returned to Davy for anoth- CT boat this year This order naturally pleases Davy, for the reason that last year New York builder put up an eight for Yale. But 1t was far from being as satisfactory to Coach Kennedy as the Davy shells, and when the day of the Harvard-Yale race came the Yale crew was boated in a Davy shell. This new Yale eight is all planked and will be ready in another two weeks, if all goes well.

NO SPRING FOOTBALL.


 There vii be no spring football prac- tice at Harvard.
 This was the announcement made yesterday by Captain Parker, of the Harvard football team.
 The reasons are that spring practice in the past has always been limited to the few men who came out from a sense of duty or to the men whom 1t was necessary for the coach actually to drag out. The vast majority of the 1 players either did not take any exercise in the spring at all or took it in some other form.
 | Captain Parker has determined this year to encourage all the football men to engage In some form of exercise that is congenial to them, and believes that the required object of keeping them in condition may be attained just as well by not having any spring prac- tice.
