YOUNG STREET CLEANERS.

How Brool<line School Children Keep .
 Neiahborhood Free From Litter.
 The Pierce school ill Brookline, Mass. has solved the problem of filtered streets ill so far as the children of that school are concerned.
 At first an attempt was made at ab stract teaching, says the Boston Tran script. but it was without effect. Then something practical was devised Each room held an election and selected four representatives for the Good Citizens club. making about fifty in all.
 These met and selected officers. di vided up the streets of the neighbor hood and assigned a portion to eacs grade. making it absolutely responsible for conditions in it's territory. Waste receptacles were needed, and the chil- dren interviewed the assistant super intendent of streets and got them.
 To keep up interest the teachers are conducted by the various squads over what they call their "beats." Healthy emulation has produced most desir- able results.
 Ceanliness and freedom from possi- ble contagion made it necessary that the children should not handle dirty papers, skins of fruit and other refuse with their fingers. so the manual train ing teacher got some volunteers from the club and collecting sticks were pre- pared for the workers.
 The results of the experiment. are manifest, and many favorable com ments have come in from citizens and from tho officials of the street depart ment. School papers. which may easi- ly be detected. are rarely found on the streets. It is observed, however, that refuse from other sources continues about the same, and it is thought it will probably remain so until adults learn from the children or till the younger generation takes the place of the present. careless one.
 Why Hs Brought His Along. Whenever the penurious manager O the large store wanted to sharpen hi pencil lie would enter the shipping de partM aut and borrow knife from ont of the boys. Sometimes the boys dit not have their knives with them, bu there was one lad, Tommy Breen. wh' always could be depended upon.
 "How IS 1t, Tommy" asked the man ager one day as he whittled his pencil ''that you always have your knife with you and the other boys haven't:" Tommy hesitated for moment then, gathering courage. said: "Thc wages I get aren't enough fO ne to afford more than one pair O pants. ."-Harper's Weekly.
