TIME LOST IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS.
Professor Thompson Says That's Why Col
Iege Graduates Are so Old.

The time wasted in preparing for college was one
of the reasons given by Professor Holland Thomp-
SON of the city College. for the advanced age at
which college graduates usually begin their profess
sonaI careers Concentration of effort upon fewer
studies in the secondary schools, said Professor
Thompson yesterday. would make the preparation
Tor college really superior in respect TO power than
can be realized in the time now demanded in those
schools for this work.
THE multiplication OF subjects IN our schools
not only lengthens the course unduly. but really
retards mental development. Latin and one other
foreign language, English. history, drawing and
mathematics about as much - boy should
take in Il preparatory course for college. With a
modified curriculum. embracing those studies. a
boy could get in three years the power to do college
work
THE cause of inefiiciency n preparatory school
work may be attributed also TO the dissipation of
energy upon too many subjects. The number OF
candidates who passed their entrance examina
uons without conditions at Harvard last year was
only 2s per cent OF the applicants for admission TO
that institution

CYCLE RIDERS Paid OFF.
Rutt and StOI Get 81 800 for Yin

The eight teams which finished in the six-day
bicycle race in Madison Square Garden at IL o'clock
Saturday night received their prize money at the
office of Z. T Powers. in the Flatiron Building.
yesterday afternoon. Rutt and Stol, the winners,
divided 81. 5O0 while the other prizes distrib
uted as follows: Fogler and Moran, $1,000 Georget
and Dupre $500; Downing and Downey, $500: Calvin
and Wiley, $3.50; Logan and Bardgett, $3.50; Breton
and Vanoni, $500.
Breton received extra bonus of $50 for his re-
markable display of sprlnting Saturday night.
Rutt also got 500 extra for winning the mile
race on the Saturday night previous to the start
All the teams who quit the race before the finish
received their expense money Friday and Satur
La Lorraine Thursday. Most of the American
riders have gone home. with the exception OF Lo
gan and Rardgett, who have gone TO the Park
Souare Rink where there will be short distance
races next week.
Besides paying the training expenses of all the
riders the mana cement had to meet extra
pense in the uniformed Pinkerton men and other
special police. The receipts were not as big as in
former years. the management claims that the
attendance did otme up to expectations. II
is estimated. however. that the promoters will di-
vide fully $4,000.
All of the foreign and American riders con-
tributed toward the fund to establish monument
in Woodlawn Cemetery in memory of Urban Nc

track during the race and who died the result
