 LETTERS

c6TIdlu lSIJ6TS. He may, if this be true, console him. self with the reflection that there are many, many others. There is a man in Washington who, only the other afternoon, experienced perhaps a keen CT modification over certain letters that he had written than any "Ex-lt-ed P-r-s-n-ge' ever did.
 It was rainy afternoon, and his wife was doing some ante-Christmas rummaging in one of her old trunks. From that trunk she plucked a pack age of old, rather faded letters neatly tied up in cerise ribbon, and then she came downstairs to where her hus- band was attempting to read the newspaper. There was a certain ma licious twinkle in her generally ami able eye.
 You used to care for me in those days" was her curious way of open ing the conversation.
 "Huh?" said her husband, looking up vaguely from his paper. Whats that?"

 What days? Whatchoo talking about? Whatchoo got there?" he asked.
 "Oh, some letters" she replied placidly. Some of your-'

School Hours Long Enough.


1 want to thank you for the editorial in
The Star Thursday protesting against the
increase of school hours in the District of
Columbia. While concur heartily in your
view of the disturbance it will cause in the
domestic relations O. the families that have
children attending the public schools per-
NIT me to say word in the interest of the
pupils attending the high schools. The
school day of the high schools as now con-
stituted is from 8 to 2 o'clock. 1t is pro-
posed to extend it from to 4. On two
days of each week the High School Cadets
mean the cadets would have to drill from
4 until nearly 6, or the cadet regiment
would have to be disbanded or the cadets
would lose the hours of study from to 4.
which would seriously handicap them in
their standing in their several classes
Another reason why they should have a
breathing spell from until O'Clock. That
is about the only time they have to get a
bit of air and sunshine, so necessary in the
life of every boy and girl In most of the
homes where the parents are in the gov
eminent employ it is absolutely impossible
to have the MONDAY meal. From to 6
o'clock is consumed at the dinner table, and
in the case of my son from $50 to II, and
sometimes II, is put in in hard study, doing
the home work. as it is called in The prepara-
ton of the next days lessons-not on one
night, but every night except Saturday and
schools are worked about as much as they
can stand without breaking down their
health, without adding two more hours to
their tasks. / have one son who Is grad
uate. and another in the third year, and I
would not like to see the additional time,
and. of course. the additional work, added
to his already heavy tasks.

REDEEMED FROM DRINK.
Young Man Restored to Good Citizen
ship by Associated Charities.

The story of young man redeemed from
drink and from a workhouse career, and
who was placed in steady employment and
enabled to make home for his mother and
her little children Is related by Secretary
Charles F. Weller Of the Associated Chari-
ties as an example Of the society's work
during January After the mothers first
appeal the young man was found living in
lodging houses, when not in Jail; he was
ragged, constantly tempted to drink and
depending on free lunches for food, yet
recommended as good worker when sober.
A gentleman was induced to become the
young fellows friend, to give him employ
ment, administer drink cure and stand by
him with counsel and encouragement.
Three times the young man relapsed into
dissipation and even went to Jail, but the
friend was faithful. Finally the cure APP
peared to be complete. To assure its per-
manency the mother with her children was
brought to live with the young man in
rooms provided by the friendly visitor, who
had also become the employer. So great is
the transformation effected in the appear
ance, circumstances and character of the
family group that they can hardly be rec
osnized as the distressed, despairing people
who were picked almost out of the very
gutter two or three months ago.
Mr.. Weller states that this work. helping
people to help themselves, must be seriously
impaired and that urgent needs must be
neglected unless the sum of 5000 be Sc
cured soon to complete the budget of the
Associated Charities for the current season.
The following contributions recently re-
ceived at 81 street are acknowledged by
