SCHOOL OR WORK.
Compulsory Education Law in Illinois
For Children Between IA and l6.

CHICAGO, May o.-Under the
provisions of the new Illinois compul-
sorry education law, children between
the ages OF IA and 10 must be in
school or At work. In enforcing these
provisions, however, the Chicago
Board of Education has found "be-
cause of the recent depressions hun
dreds of boys and girls are wandering
the streets in search of work which
they cannot find. When told that they
must go to school, the children-and
their parents-pleads that the sup
port of their families depends on their
getting work, and that under the law
they are entitled to an unrestricted
opportunity to look for it.
So perplexing has the situation be-
come that w. l.. Bodine, superin-
tendent OF compulsory education, has
made it the subject Of special re-
port, which he presented to Presi-
Schneider yesterday. In this, he
urges that school principals should
be authorized to give children over ID
the privilege OF halliday sessions in
order that they may have to look for
employment The parental school
regulations, he suggests, should be al
tered so that children up to the age of
10 may be admitted (the present limit
is l4) and courses in industrial educa-
tion, he declares, should be introduced
in the grades so that the youngsters
may be better equipped when they
start their search for work.
The matter will probably be acted
on at the next meeting of the board.

POLICE DAY IN NEW YORK.
Men Who Have Received Medals For
Bravery VIII Head Procession.

NEW YORK, May 9.-Today is
police day in New York and this af-
ternoon practically all the police in
the city will be in the parade, headed
By all the men who have received
medals for valor, bravery or meritor-
ious service since 1898 And there
will be bands and patrol wagons and
motor cycles and almost everything
dat makes up police force except
the vessel of the harbor police.
Commissioner Bingham says in a
pointed notice that "in the splendid
annual record OF gallant deeds it has
been more than usually difficult to
make distinction for 1907"
The honorable mention with medal
Of the police department for 1907 has
not been attained and therefore can
not be awarded, he says. Nor have
the Rhinelander medal and the auto
mobile clu bof America medal for
1867 been awarded But these were
awarded:
The Isaac Bell medal to Patrolman
Harry T. Tobdem OF the traffic squad
Tor saving the drowning man.
The Peter F. Meyer medal to Pa
srolman Walter Macdonough, OF the
traffic squad for saving a drowning
man. He won the same medal in 1906
for a similar act OF heroism.

and Sitieth Precinct, who ran down

Kennedy said:

AA~'A~0J
'The better outlook for the drama
which so many OF US are beginning to
realize is only part of that great
movement OF God among the nations
which is one of the most refreshing
signs OF the glorious day we live in.
Everywhere we turn we find splendid
unrest, good, healthy, pugnacious
discomfort with eisting conditions,
coupled with violent determination
to make them better, and perhaps the
most striking thing that has already
been accomplished is the fact that
we do begin to see the good in one
sense or another, lies back of it all.
"The truth is that this same better
outlook for the drama is within you.
1t depends upon you and the courage
with which you band together to in
fuence it, whether a man shall pro-
duce drama which shall take place
among the proudest movements of
that kind in any age"
Mr.. Crane contended that there
were not enough Shakespearean pro-
ductions at present and that CONNER
cialism had much to do with the stage
OF today.
Augustus Thomas said the next
big play that is coming, or coming
very soon is of the Jew. Not the
Jew Of Shakespeare's time, not the
Russian Jew or the suffering, perse-
cuted Jew, but the great American
Jew, who is philanthropic, far-seeing
and above all. sweetly domestic"

PecuIiarities of Bats,


In one respect at least bats are the
most remarkable Of all the creatures
possessing the power Of true flight.
Bats, as most people know, are nam
mals-they belong to the great class Of
"higher animals" which comprises
man himself. Moreover, it Is not a lit
tie remarkable that among the host Of
extinct animals with which, thanks to
the labors Of biologists. we are now ac-
quainted not one has been discovered
in any way connecting bats with other
mammals. Thus bats stand alone,
while how and why they became vest
ed with the power Of fight are ques-
tions shrouded in mystery. The frame
work of the bats wing Is furnished by
the fore limb. Indeed, the bones cor
responding to those of our own hand
constitute Its most important parts;
hence bats are known as chlroptera or
hand winged animals. The thumb of
the bat Is free and terminates in q
hooked claw, but the fingers are
enormously heightened, while between
them stretches skin or membrane, to
which In certain species the bones Of
the tail give additional support. All
things considered, bats appear to be
better models than birds for those who
attempt to attain flight by mecnanlca-
means. Scientific American.
