THE BROWN BOOK

wish never to forget. And, prompted by this
personal appreciation, l otter this narrative to
the reading public
" hen in course of my wage earning career
the commercial compass pointed toward Bos

Athens of America in such chilly colors gray

Indeed, l shuddered when after few whirring

to avoid the pedantry of the city, if had to
dwell in a tenement. After some proving
about, happened on suite in the rear of an
apartment house, where seemed safe from the
dreaded sphere of intellect.
With the aid of Mary Harris, my colored
charwoman, the little suite in the rear of an
apartment house proved to be most restful and
comfortable. Mary came every other day,
swept, busted, polished, shook, and all the
rest of it. \, hen was there to listen, she gave
me the life histories of the past and present
were not sufficiently novel to prove interesting;
but Mary's quaint manner of expression
amused me, and l encouraged her gable.
One Sunday morning, as ! rested on the
couch, Mary gave an extra polishing stroke to
the glass door of my small bookcase and re-
marked, "You got nice lookin' books, Miss"
do you think SO, Mary?" responded me-
chanically.
"Yes' m. do" More polishing of the glass
door, and Mary ventured, Did you ever come
across little brown book with black letters on
it, little one bout so wide?" indicating few
inches of space with her fingers.

Its good book, Miss, it sure is.
Have you read it, Mary?"
"Yes'm, l have read it lots O times. My
man he ran away with woman two years ago,
and like to died, felt so bad. Work all day
and walk the floor all night-oh, felt bad, and
no eatin or drinkin' with that awful chokin'
in my throat! Then one day l see this little
book in secondhand store marked five cents.

then l bought it. That night l thought l
would go crazy, thinkin' and thinkin and /

Harris, you forget that niger! Then | gets
into bed and goes right to sleep, and hain't
thought much of him since"
"What was the name of the book, Mary?"
81 don't know, and don't understand some
of the words; but'I'll bring it over next time
come, Miss, cause it sure is good book"
The next time Mary came to my suite she
brought small brown book, thumb worn and
soiled. Across the covers in the black letters
was the following Essays, by Ralph Waldo
Emerson" The first and second pages were
entitled "Heroism."

Drilling and Stringing

TT often happens that the largest pearls have
the smallest holes drilled through Them for
every grain that is taken from the pearl reduces
it in weight. In such cases, however, the risk
of the cord breaking is increased. owing to the
slenderness of the thread and the sharp edges
of the pearls cutting through it quickly.
Stringing pearls is never done with needle.
A needle is not yielding enough to pass through
very small holes, and the doubling of its dia-
meter at the eye makes its impracticable.
Therefore the end of the thread is sharpened to
a very fine point, which is waxed stff1v enough
to be used exactly as a needle would be.
Ordinarily pearl stringing is mechanically
difficult and also requires taste and judgment.
The pearls may have to be rearranged in order
to improve their general appearance. In the
laying out of collarets, especially, great
deal of skill is required. In the first place, the
collaret must fit exactly. This seems COM
paratively easy; but it is not A pattern is al
ways fitted beforehand; but it is rarely the

MAY AMEND ROLLER
SKATING ORDINANCE
Dangerous for Children to
Skate on Streets Where
Traffic is Heavy.

An amendment to the roller skating
ordinance to prevent children from
skating on either Washington avenue
or Twety-fifth street between West
snd Virginia avenues, probably will
be made at the next meeting of the
council. During the past week or
more numerous complaints about the
children skating on these thorough
fares have been made to the police,
the drivers Of wagons and automo-
biles claiming that it is dangerous for
the children to be skating on the
streets where there is heavy traffic.
Every afternoon for two weeks or
more. twenty or thirty small boys and
girls have been skating on Twenty
fifth street between West and Wash
ington avenues and frequently they
play sidney" on the street. There
have been several narrow escapes
from accidents, and yesterday one
little boy fell under a horses feet
Fortunately the animal was walking
end the driver pulled him up before
the boy was hurt
Complaints also have been made to
the pellet that the children are skat-
ing on the sidewalks Ia various parts
of the city. This is in violation Of
the ordinance and the police have
tried to break the practice UP, but
they have been unsuccessful thus far.
The skating on Twenty-fifth street
and Washington avenue has been
brought to the attention Of several
Of the councilmen and they favor
prohibiting any skating on certain
sections OF those thoroughfares.

STUDIES TOO NUMEROUS
Reason Given for Failures IN
High School.
PHYSICS CLASS BEHIND
Only Three Of Fifteen Members Psss-
cd Recent Semi annual Examination
introduction of New Courses In
School Responsible for crowdins.

According to reliable Information
only three members OF the class OF
fifteen students which will graduate
from the High school IN June made
more than 20 per cent--the average
required for a student to passion
physics In the semi annual examina-
ton on this subject, held several days
ago. 1t is also said that the percent
age OF failures in the other branches
of study In the High school have been
larger this year than ever before.
When asked as to the cause for the
failures, Superintendent OF Schools
willis A. Jenkins said that II Is due 10
the crowding OF studies in the Hlgh
school. The text book on physics
now used In the High school Is tue
same as that used five OF more years
ago. but two years formerly was re-
quired for the teaching OF this cub
ject. whereas. the subject is crowded
into one year now. The same is true
in the chemistry, the students now
being required to complete in one
year the course that Il formerly took
two years to finish.
Have Too Many Studies.
The crowding OF these and other
subjects are due to the Introduction
of additional studies in the High
school. Commercial geography anu
physical geography are taught now
in the two years that formerly was
devoted to the studying of physics and
chemistry Domestic science. basket
making. sewing and cabinet-making
also have been introduced and The
pupils must take these courses in al
dition 10 the studies that were taught
before the new subjects were inau-
gurated. The length of the school
day Is the same as before.
Students Are Younger.
The average age Of the High school
student of today is two years below
that of the average age of the pupil OF
few years ago. Then In former
years the pupils spent eight years IN
the grammar grades, whereas now
! they spend but seven. The old eight
year course has been put into seven
/ year course and this enables the pupil
to get to the High school sooner.
Complaint also is Icing made
against the system of semi-annual
promotions and the breaking up OF
the session into two terms, the first
, beginning in September and the Sec
ond in February.
