THIS IS MY 45TH BIRTHDAY. :
Charles M. Schwab.


Charles NJ. Schwab, former presl-
den of the United States Steel Corpo-
ration, and one of the young men
whom Andrew Carnegie converted in
to millionaires overnight, was born
in Williamsburg, Pa, April 10, 1862
He received but common school edu
cation and as boy his first work was
in driving stage through the Penrr
sylvan,a mountains. When he APP
preached manhood he entered the SER
vice as a stake boy in the engineering
corps at one of the plants of the Car
negie company. He had pleasing
voice and played the organ and 1t is
said that 1t was the latter accomplish
ment that first attracted Mr.. Carnegie.
However his may be 1t is certain that
young Schwab was advanced steadily,

THE FEDERATION OF THE WORLD
DECADENcE OF CONVERSATION.
Al ART,

In 1884 the first edition of book
entitled Manners and Social Usage"
was placed in the hands OF the read
ing public. 1t contained gch of de-
predatory criticism with relasi d. to the
alleged decadence Of Conversation as
art. But recently the Harpers have
brought out q second and revised
edition. in which the pessimistic view
as to the VANISHING of the clever talk
er Is more emphatic than before. Here
iL, lies food for bought that is interest
ing and possibly not without instruc-
ton.
1t would be hazardous to conincide
entirely with the critical views set
forth within the covers of this little
volume; but we may at least admit
that some people do not talk as well
as Others We may even go so far
as to entertain a species of fine scorn
for the small talk of the up-to-date So
cial gathering in which there is the aV-
er-present suggestion OF the shop ana
of neighborhood gossip. We may h)ii
that in society's polite assemblings,
formal and informal, as in the enter
tainment for which society pays its
shekels, there is the desire for relaxa-
ton which one finds in amusement.
These views would suffice to put us
talk, and at the same time save us
from social contempt.
Saving the many admirable func-
tioLr of the dollar; holding aloof from
the multifarious and ill-advised at
lacks of radicalism on its character,
we are moved in honesty to confess
that 1t works more detriment to the
art of conversational not directly
then indirectly. 1t commands and con-
trolls the energies of time. 1t monopo-
lizes the seriousness of the day. 1t
creates a new philosophical least one
that would have been new half CEN
fury ago-which runs to the effect
that human activity. physical, intel
lectual or oral, that is not engaged in
its acquisition, is to be counted DIS
somewhat of a waste.
Before one can talk one must think.
Brilliant conversation is the manifes-
tation of scholarly attainment There
are thinkers. plenty of them, who are
not takers. But to talk wei one must
think well. If the burden of think ing
centers upon the requirement of TIL
dollar and the men and women who
acquire the dollar comprise the social
elect there must Of necessity be mar
rowness of intellectual range, the
lighter ebullitions of which would be
froth rather than effervescense. Yet,
though our social chit-chat is money
ridden, or leads us into mazes of
light and meaningless frivolity we
venture the opinion that the social
world is not devoid of takers other
than the bad or ndifferent-Portland
Telegram.

1t looks like a very serious case OF
water on the brain that cannot be

A great many people are willir g to
share the last morsel with their less
fortunate brothers provided that they
have been amply helped in advance.
The ease and facility with which
some people hand out advice causes
us to stop our pondrous presses and
inquire iIto the whenceness of all this
heavy work.
The perfume of the blossoms,
And the buzzing of the bees,

Honesty is the best policy, but May
people are not writing policies in that
company.

also to do some clever side-steppins.

associate Superintendents of the City Schools yes
terday was the resolution offered at the meeting
OF the Board OF Education on Wednesday by Ma
than s Jonas. that the Charter Revision Commits
sion incorporate In the bylaws OF the board a pro-
vision that the superintendents write the school

superintendent OBrien however, said: THE city
superintendents will perform all duties imposed
upon them by the Board Of Education. These duties
are divided into two kinds-agreeable and dis
agreeable.
Would you say that the writing OF textbooks
would cOrle under the latter head?' he was asked.
No. wouldn't say that. I do think that any
proposal such as this should be accompanied by
one doubling our salaries IL we be compelled.

devote our evenings and extra time TO accomplish
this task

Suppose We resolved to instruct our editors %
write all the books we publish. It might look all
right TO the novice. but every publisher knows that
IL would not be practicable. Comparatively few
persons are able to write a textbook. Many teach
ers can talk. but few can write. A man NAV be
