SCHOOL FOB Statesmen
Course To Be GiUen This Fall by
Board of Education.

When the public schools of the city open next
fall a new course will have been added TO the cur
riculum of one OF the evening high schools. II
women This is an innovation for the public school
system. II is possible the Board of Education VIII
incorporate It in the schedules of all the high
schools
The possibilities for training young people In the
art Of selling goods were suggested TO the BOARD OF
Education by Miss Diana Hirschler, Of Boston
Several years ago briefer course along the same
lines made by Miss Hirscher in Boston, but
New York is the first city to make the course
distinct part OF the city work Until now all OF
the education received the subject has been at
the expense OF a great deal OF time.
While the cities have recognized the Importance
of technical training for various trades and pro-
fessions. Miss Hrschler says that they have SADLY
neglected the hundreds OF young people who leave
the grammar schools and go directly into the retail
stores.
According to census reports more than two mill
or saleswomen, of whom perhaps knows any
thing about the business except what he or she mas
learned from actual experience. Miss Hirschler
says that 1t will be the purpose Of the new course
to raise the standard and skill of the workers and
this will naturally result in an increase Of wages
The worker the employer and the customer VIII
be benefited, according to Miss Hirschler. The
most important part of the will be tnstruc-
tion accompanied by demonstration of the art OF
selling.
The course will be for year only, and viii be
ytven eight hours weekly.

CAN'T AGREE ON WHIsTLING.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: m. d. does not seem to agree with my
assertion that whistlng is injurious to health. 1t
is the opinion of the medical profession generally
that noise is injurious to health. Whistng is one
of the most disagreeable and irritating of noises
and one OF those of which most complaint is made.
M d" thinks that whistllng tends to promote
the survival of the ttest. My own opinion is that
II helps to promote the survival of the Gnfttest.
for It is the stupid and brutal who the least
likely TO be injuriously affected by whistling. Saw
ages rather like noise Dull witted, coarse, igno-
rant persons rarely complain of noise 1t is persons
who are educat ted, refined and talented TO whom
noise is most likely to be disagreeable and in
furious
great many people do not have the nervous
system that our great -grandfathers had, as M. D.
intimates Noise, the most of which is totally un-
necessary is largely responsible for this. Whistlng
is extremely disagreeable and discomforting to
great many people and that is sufficient reason for
stopping it in public places whether 1t Is injurious
.. health or not PHYSICIAN.

"THOU SHALT BE A GENTLEMAN"
First Amendment to Ten Commandments,
President Harris of Amherst Tells Graduates

Amherst Mass, June 21.-Speakins upon the
tonic 1.-The Ideal of the Gentleman. and taking for
his text Blessed the meek, for they snail IN
berft the EARTH President George Harris delivered
the baccalaureate sermon at Amherst College to-
day. He said. In part:
The meek are not passive unasserttng, negative
characters They are the righteous, the unsslfsh.
the helpers the lovers Of their fellow men. They
shall inherit the earth, shall possess and enjoy its
real values.
To a large degree it is true that Righteousness
ana Justice control the world. This generation Of
our countrymen Is advancing ethtcally. The moral
standards are rising. 1t may otherwise But
the ideal is lost sight Of and under the leader
ship of patriotic citizens reform is effected. The
people must and will have righteousness
The meek enjoy the best values, have dominion
by righteousness and service, by being the right
kind of persons 1t is by character that they snjoy
and control. Now, have better conception OF
this ideal character than that which is expressed
in the good word conference.-the righteous. the
honorable, cultivated man? We might almost say
that the Christian conception of character has
passed the ideal OF the saint to the ideal Of
the gentleman.
The college cutivates the ideal Of gentlemen
There is place in the world where meanness has
little liberation in college.
Thou shalt be gentleman is the first amend
ment to the Ten Commandments and on IL hang
the academic law and prophets.

A DEFENCE OF LONG BRANCH.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May 1 have space in your paper TO contro-
vert a libel Long Branch which has been
widely exploited in the metropolitan newspapers
recently the effect that mosquitoes are pentfu
all along the Jersey coast? 1 wish to deny abso-
lutey that there is the slightest basis for the re-
port so far Long Branch is concerned, and not
only to do that but to invite the fullest investi-
CATION. This city is topogra phicay blessed. Lying
along the ocean high coast plateau, the high
elevation of land the Atlantic seaboard, 1t
is free from marshes and mosquito breeding places
In all its sections which include Elberon. West
End, Branchport. North Long Branch and Pleasure
Bay. The mosquito breeding areas that formerly
supplied the pest here lay along the Shrewsbury
River near the Pleasure Bay section of the resort
and back of Monmouth Beach. These have eli
been dtched and drained. the work being COM
peted last year. now the resort is absolutely
immune, there being place where mosquitoes
can breed along this part of the coast.

other route than majority rule. The above
measures may not smack directly Of the economic
ideals socialism, but they certainly lay the foun-
dation for the rule Of the bare majority which is
much more likely to evolve socialistic economy
than control by minority on one hand or two
thirds majority tho other. The Socialists are as
much afraid of a two-thirds majority as is the
editor of The Tribune
The two great political parties Of this country
are at present socalfstic in their politics. whatever
they may be In their economic leanings, but when
they recognize that majorityism will bring certain
social results the Republicans will advocate minor
