IT HAS been suggested to the trus.
i tees of the College of the City of
New York that it would be advisable
to establish night college in connec-
ton with the present institution, pri-
marily for the benefit of worthy stu
dents, who, principally for financial
reasons, are prevented from attending
colleges in the daytime. The sugges-
ton has met with a favorable recep-
ton from the trustees, who probably
will Investigate the matter, and if the
plan seems feasible recommend to the
city that it should undertake the estab-
lishment and maintenance. of such an
institution.
That there is a demand for a night
college is the opinion expressed by
many who have given the educational
situation in this city careful study. In
the first place, the opportunities for in
struction at night are limited. Of the
three institutions engaged in the work,
not one offers complete college
course. Cooper Union has scientific
courses, and Columbia and New York
universities have special or profess

NIGHT COLLEGE MAY BE
ESTABLISHED IN CITY

one of the three which requires no tut.
ton fees, is crowded to it's capacity
and is turning away hundreds of
worthy students simply because of lack
of accommodations.
Then there are those who want a
college education, but cannot get it
because they have to work during the
day. This is shown by the fact that in
the city college, of 800 or more stu
dents who enter only about one-quar-
ter, or 200, remain in the college and
are graduated. There are many rea-
sons for three-fourths of these stu.
dents dropping from the course, but
the greatest is the necessity of going
to work to maintain themselves and
others dependent upon them.
The necessity of providing a college
education for the sons of those who
were not in position to pay tuition
and other fees was responsible for
the establishment of the city college,
and that necessity has increased until
there is an insistent demand for a
night college. The city must meet
this need, say the advocates of the
night college.

Millionaire families between Forty

that they will be driven from their

trade. Their most formidable bull

When shopkeepers and the mass of
small tradesmen first began to crowd
into Fifth avenue north of Forty-sec

Elbridge T.. Gerry built the ornate
Windsor Arcade on the site of the old
Windsor hotel, from Forty-sixth to
Forty-seventh street. It was believed
that the structure would stand as the
gateway between the exclusive do
main of mansions on the north and the
gathering masses of trade on the
south. For year or two the Arcade
held back the houses of trade. The
center of society's residential district,
as averaged in the social directories,
moved north to the Vanderbilt man
sion group at Fifth avenue and Fifty
second street.
At the same time the Vanderbilt
families united to protect that neigh
borhood. They and their associates
spent $10,000,000 to $12,O0O,O0O in the
purchase of property which came on
the market. They built many splendid
dwellings on the blocks within short

RZADI TO ASCEND
N! ]u[ Nv,

More and more interest is being
taken in ballooning in this country as
the time approaches for the great in
ternational contest at St. Louis this
coming summer, and people who have
never had the opportunity of a bal
loon journey Or who would have
lacked the courage to venture had
the opportunity for flight come, are
eager to read how it feels to others
to be caught up into the heavens and
TO be driven hither and thither by the
fitful winds like bit of heecy cloud.
Men aerOnauts are common and their
experiences have often been related,
but the woman balloonist is still
among the rare things of earth, and
just what the sensations of balloon
ing are to her have not so often
women parachute jumpers in this
country but few if any balloonists. In
Europe, however, there are several
daring women aeronauts, among
them Princess di Teano., OF her ex-
periences she says:
The first thing that strikes one
after becoming a convert to balloon
ing is the extraordinary ignorance of
everybody in general concerning the
sport. To begin with, an idea firmly
rooted in the human mind is that
whichever way the wind is blowing,
and at whatever rate, you must i'm
mediately and inevitably be carried
out to sea and drowned the only other
alternative is that the balloon should
burst in mid-air, and that forthwith
you are landed in fragments on Moth
er Earth. There seems no middle
course available. If you are of an
argumentative turn of mind you will
point out that on tolerably calm and
clear day there is no reason why you
should not descend before you are on
the brink of the sea, for possessing
eyesight and maps you can scarcely
come on it unawares, and if you start
in gale you know what to expect
and are willing to risk it. Balloons
do not burst through pure contrari-
ness, and only suicidally-inclined
aeronaut would tie up the neck of his
balloon and thus court disaster. If
you succeed in arguing out these two
points, your friends will fall back on
the minor horrors of ballooning.
They will say they are bad sailors
and would certainly be i'll all the
time; besides which they suffer from
giddiness, and would no doubt jump
overheard. OF giddiness know moth
ing, having never experienced It,
either when ballooning or otherwise;
but as to seasicllness I can speak
with assurance, for if anybody was
likely to feel it in balloon should
be the first sufferer No, it is all COM
fort and peace and perfect rest.
From the moment that the signal
Hands off, Is given and you have
cleared the roofs of the adjoining
