SCHOOL BOYS ARE
PAID TO BE GOOD
Scheme Said To Work Well
i'm New York.

NEW YORK, October 12.-(Spec-
al.)-Paying the boys for good be-
havior, instead of whipping them for
bad, a scheme of promoting good
conduct recently introduced in public
school 81, at West Seventy-seventh
street and Amsterdam avenue, is be-
ing investigated by the committee of
the Board of Education which is con-
sidering a proposal to restore cor
poral punishment in the schools.
Principal Edward H. Boyer, a
teacher for more than 40 years, has
given the system thorough trial
and is convinced of its success. A
regular legal tender is in use, which
has a value to the rich as we'll as the
poor boy Each day that the boy de-
ports himself properly his teacher
writes the word excellent on a card
supplied the lad. Each excellent
is worth 10 certs to the boy who
wants to trade it out. Three lex
cellent marks mean a half-holiday and
ticket to a baseball or football game
From the residents of the neigh
borhood who realize the utility OF
the scheme Principal Boyer has Sc
cured cast-off clothes, books, pictures
and toys. A charity society has al
different times contributed small
sums. These goods are kept in {
storeroom, definite value being plac-
ed on each article, and when, by ac-
stimulating excellent marks or
his cards, any of these articles car
be purchased by pupil.

LONG COATS WILL
BE IN STYLE
Fashions DEGREES For The
Coming Winter.
Correspondence Times-Recorder.)

Correspondence -Recorder.) =.
NEW YORK, Oct IA fact that
will interest all women, is that long
coats will be very much in style this
winter. Those for everyday wear
show but little change from those
worn two seasons ago. The dressy
long coats are cut on different lines,
with more grace and fit to them than
the loose fur-lined and shapeless
coats which motoring has made so
common. Such coats are designed to
be worn over Thin frocks, to lectures,
concerts, or card parties. Some are
made with short loose sleeves ana
are collarless, and with a coat of this
style a large muff and wide stole
are quite necessary for additional
warmth
Wells were never any more worn
than they are at present A mesh
veil worn over the nat and pinned in
the back with veil pin, is d popular
way for wearing one. The more ex-
pensive ones have frills of chiffon
Liberty, accordion plated around the
bottom and are very becoming to
most faces. The newest effect has a
border of ribbon stitched all around
the veil.
1t has been many years since the
black evening frock was in popular
favor, but with this coming winter,
it promises to be very much in vogue.
A pretty model would be to have the
dress made up of black silk mousse
line with an inch wide satin stripe
and the whole thing being made up
over a white messaline. The skirt
should be cut circular and trimmed
with bias bands of the mousaline,
which are embroidered with silver
spangles The waist is made low
neck, with a deep bertha, which is al
so embroidered with spangles, and
edged with a full narrow ruching.

of purple velvet. This color, the
