A SCHOOL FOR JANITORS.
Success Of School for Office Boys
Leads to New Enterprise.

The New York Children's Aid Soci-
ETY. has been greatly encouraged by
the success OF its training school for
office boys, and this has led to the
opening of school by the society
where boys will be taught to become
janitors. No educational require
ments are made and the students have
to pay no tuition fee. The students,
mostly Negroes and Italians, are
taught to run and repair a boiler for
steam heating, how to plug up leak,
how to do elementary plumbing jobs
and all the odds and ends OF work
which fall to the lot OF janitOr in a
tenement house. Incidentally, the
students will be taught to be polite
and patient and at the end of their
term they will receive diplomas GER
trying to their accomplishments in
the janitorial field.

Many Earn Their Way Through School
by Playing Instruments.

Eighteen students in the University
OF Missouri are depending wholly or
partly Oh playing musical instruments
to pay their way through the univer
sity. Among these the majority play
the violin. A few play the clarionet.
The total earnings of students who
We're paid for playing music last
year aggregated more than $4,000.
The students expect an equally profit
able season this year.
Burr H. OZment, to whom all OF Co
lumbia's music contracts are let, di-
vides the engagements inpartially
among all the students who desire to
play, and thus allows each to earn
something frequently.
Yes, the citizens of Columbia en-
ploy exclusively student musicians,
and are very well pleased" said Mr..
OZmert today. incidentally you can
say for ne that our band this year
will be better than at any time here
tofore. The new material is far su-
perior TO the usual new men, and |
am looking to q successful season."
