Richmond School. Age 10 Years
Mary had just come from the coun-
try to a city school She had witnessed
two or three fire drills and each time
she was greatly frightened. One day
she heard cry of fire." and thinking
II was real fire she jumped up and got
IN the fire escape and slid down. When
she reached the bottom she found the
door locked. Then she began crying,
%, Will be burnt up.'' The janitor,
hearing her cries, came and let her out
She asked him If the school was burnt
up, and when she was assured that
there had been no fire she went back
very shyly TO her room. She found the
children all laughing at her. The
teacher then explained to her how
some small boys playing on the street
had called fire" Mary laughed at her
own mistake with the rest of the chill
dren. You may be sure that Mary al
ways waited to see what the other ohil-
dren did after that.

sOne lesson per week is given to the
boys of the seventh and eighth grades
in the 10 manual training centers of

Each lesson lasts from 80 to 40 min

fairly representative of the work ac-
complished since the beginning of the

what may be accomplished by sys-
tematic instruction

up the rope that is attached to the bell

but they could see nothing.
Everybody went around saying

Mr.. Blank called the children in and
after we had taken our seats and had
started TO study the door opened and
IN came the two boys that were hold

All the children laughed but Mr..
Blank made them stop. At last he got
them In order. He made the boys that
neld the bell stay after school. You

The Spirit of Work.

The amount of work which each man accomplishes during the day de pends upon other factors than the mere hours of labor, and the most i'm portant of these factors is the spirit in which the work Is done. The spirit of the days work will depend upon the personal relation which exists be- tween the once and the workshop. If .he employer is known to be inter- ested in the welfare of his men. they will be. more truly than otherwise. his retainers. more jealous for the prosperity of his business: but if his relation to them Is that of taskDras- ter. they will be his slaves. merely. and quite capable of any treachery. The effort of the employer who would gain tho loyal service of his men must be to preserve in every possible way the individuality of the employe. to emphasize his manhood. and thvs to increase his self-respsct-J.

The Joy of Life.

Psay heaven that when your child is born he may have the joy of life. There is not a gift to compare with it. Riches will not buy it, i'll health will not rob its possessor of it. Brains do not insure its possessions nor lack Of wits prevent one from feeling the joy of life.
 It must now and then amuse the gods when they see some long faced and heert-heavy philanthropist up lifting" some child of poverty whose delight in mere existence no noisome tenement or the small amount of food he eats can take away from him.
 That poor lame newsboy. who basks on the warm gratings along News paper row and whose knees peep out of his trousers and stimulate your sympathies as you pass by, needs neither your kind word nor your coin to make him happy. He happens to have the joy of life, and it will stay by him to the end. whether that end be the pot:er's field or a more fash ionable burying ground.-Smith's Mag azine.
