GET RICH, FAT AND DIE

Chancellor Day of Syracuse UnivcrS-
ity addressed the young men of the Y.
NJ. G. A. in New York city Il week ago
last Sunday, and some of the remarks
which he made should find place in
every newspaper in the United States,
for instance, the following:
Don't you like this land better than
any other OH the globe?" DR.. Day asked.
And quick came the response:
Sure"
Would you rather be here than in
Heaven?" he asked immeditaly. No.
came the answer.
Il don't believe" said the chancellor,
that you'll make any particular rush
for heaven today. I'd rather be here
than in Heaven. I'd like to go there
when I can't be here. I don't think
Heaven is in any particular need of me.
In fact think I'd have some trouble in
getting adjusted there. But when you
can't be here I'd steer for Heaven if I
were you"
"All belongs to God and when I'm
done with this place He'll put me some
where else. l don't think Heaven is any
particular local place anyway.

The chancellor added: We'll, you
want me to be more definite. I'll say
in three months That's what believe.
Don't listen to the sublime nonsense
about half IL dozen men having taken
all the wealth of the country and put
it into their pockets. The Lord takes
care of these men. He sees that they

the contrary. the educational principle
of smaller classes, whenever possible,
has been the policy of the department.
and the average number of pupils per
class teacher is nearer what 1t should
he than ever before
why did the Board of Education
move its offices? Because the old Of
fees were too small for the work of
the department. Moreover, they were
not fireproof. and the public records of
the department not only were not safe
there. but had actually been water
logged and in part destroyed shortly
before they We're moved to a safe
place. 1t is somewhat difficult to find
suite of offices large enough and quite
we'll suited to the needs of the school
department.
Change Is Made
1.-The Security building offered great
advantages, and its management was
able to make the change in walls, etc,
that the work of the board required.
Fifteen rooms were secured at a rental
Of $500 per month. In the old location
our rental was $195, and as two more
rooms were required, it would have
been $225 had we remained there. To
have secured the same amount of floor
space we have now i'm the Security
DullulnS would nave cost $oUU per
month in our former location.
THE elevator service-important
since hundreds of people sometimes
visit our offices in a single day-is no
longer adequate. Our rooms are large
enough now. and we are located in an
up-to-date building, which is a very
great advantage to the work of the en-
tire department. When the Board of
Education took the offices it has just
left the city had population of 150
coo; now 1t has population of about
100000. The volume of its school bust
ness has grown correspondence; that
is why new headquarters were re-
quired, and ne additional rental did
NOT come out of the teachers salary
fund, and. space for space, it would
have kept the schools going just thirty
five minutes longer IL applied to teach

As Jim appeared on the stage he was
cheered to an echo by the immense
crowd. Mike (Twin) Sullivan refereed.
