SHOULD CHANGE SCHOOL HOURS.

L certainly seems, IN the face OF the untavor-
i able sentiment towards the new rule pro-
Vding noon recess os an hour instead of
half hour at the high school, that the Board of
Education should restore the old rule make
some change in the hours of sessions that would
be more satisfactory than the present condition
1t may be repugnant to some of the Board mem
bers TO think OF resembling or amending their
action in Difference to the opposition so wide
spread among the High School pupils and many
parents, but the dissatisfaction over the rule
seems so general that it is worthy Of favorable
recognition.
The principal reason actuating the change
OF the noon recess to one hour-that
i would tend to decrease indigestion among
the pupils who hurredly devoured their
luncheon during the half-hour period-seems 10
be more indigestibe in the student body than
the food itself There was far from benevo-
lent assimilation of the new ruling. The half
hour noon recess has been in vogue So long that
il seems a tradition at the High School, and
observation Of the hundreds of men in public
and business life who have been graduated from
the High School does not indicate any serious
physical impairment because Of the half-hour
luncheon period.
While the dissatisfaction among the pupils
with the new rule of itself should have
weight with the Board OF Education in con-
ssidering a return to the half-hour period or
some other equally agreeable change in the
hours OF school sessions. the conclusions voiced
by the High School teachers-that from their
observations the hour period has failed of the
objects intended--is certainly a potent reason
for some change to be made. We hardly imag-
inc that if the High School boys and the teach
ers were voters and should express the oppo-
siton now abroad. the members of the Board
would hesitate long in revising the High School
bours. Champions of the hour noon recess
among teachers or pupils, il any. certainly have
Seeg in the background.

Baltimore American.
1t is a surprising fact that within less
than 80 miles Of each of the four largest
of Atlantic Coast cities there is valuable
agricultural land which has been prac-
tically lying idle during the past quarter
Of century. There are thousands Of
acres of such lands on the Western side
of the bay within so miles Of Baltimore.
There is an immen- quantity of south
ern New Jersey land for sale cheap that
is less than 50 miles away from Philadel-
phia. Almost half of Long Island, not
withstanding its proximity TO New York
city, is out of use. And Il is not neces-
sary to travel 50 miles from Boston to
find New England abandoned farms. It
is difficult to understand why these areas
close TO the big cities are not generally
turned into kitchen gardens,

demonstrate that these lands can be put
to valuable use on one of these farms
$50 different kinds of vegetables, fruits
and other farm produce have been grown,
aud the railroad has succeeded in DEM
onstrating that these abandoned lands
can be made highly productive. The
thought will naturally occur that the rail-
road spent good deal of money to make
these object-lesson farms productive, and
it is probably true that the improvement
output may have doubled or even quad
rupled the cost of the land.
There is reason to beliVe, however,
that the outlay in redeeming such lands
is a proft-yielding investment. The adj

THE TRAMP
M. c. Robbins.

Good morning, lady. win YOU give.
The tramp piece of bread,
I'd raise the article I wear
The thing upon my head.
There was time when 1 could call
1t by the name of hat;
Now it is but a battered thing.
Indeed, tits scarcely that
Yes-Ill come in and thank you, too
For ! am very weak.
/ haven't tasted food to-day.
Can scarcely keep my feet.
I've walked the road for many a mile
In rags both worn and moor.
My head is spinning like a top,
God knows my heart is sore.
Wen, you have given me new strength,
And cheered my poor old heart;
I'll say God bless you. lady dear.
Before we have to part
You make me think of mother dear.
That lives so far away;
/ haven't seen her dear old face,
For many a long, long day.
Yes-mother's living down the state,
I know she looks each day,
II vi Alit bbN oAD AvNtb ~ lull6 anu we'll
She hopes Ill come that way.
/ think I'll take your good advice,
I'm still her own dear boy.
I'd like to cheer her old. old days,
And fill her heart with joy.
Twill be the prodigals return,
They'll kill the fatted calf,
Just as the queen of Sheba said
7 could not tell you half.
] hope I'll then forget the husks.
That I've been feeding on,
The old dark days will all be past,
And life will be a song.
If I had never touched the wine,
I'd be a man to-day,
But that was many years ago,
Now I'm a castaway.
Yes. I am crying lady dear,
The tears are falling fast
1 cannot help it when l think
OF now I've spent the past.
Wei, I must say goodbye and go,
You've sent a CLEAN to-day,
OF blessed sunshine y my path.
And cheered the poor tramps way.
Perhaps we will not meet again,
Here in this world of sin.
But I hope Wen meet up yonder
When they'll let the poor tramp in.

TAKING OF THE CENSUS.

AT EXT Friday will witness the beginning OF
" the count of the thirteenth census which
will be a very important and far-reaching
inquiry into the size of our population and
our Industrial conditions. The scope of the cen
sus is far reaching for it furnishes the basis of
all our calculations as to the progress and actual
condition of the nation
The last decade has witnessed many remarkable
changes that are obvious even TO the careless
observer. Tliere=has been a tremendous increase
in our population and wealth The figures will
reveal whether we have grown in population as
predicted by Commissioner Merriam eight years
ago who declared that 1910 would show the
United States 10 have population of Ioo,ooo,ooo.
Director Durand is more conservative, for his
present estimate is that tive total population is
between SS,oooooo and 0I,oooooo The prophets
OF 1910 figured the population of this country for
this year as 1Ie,ooo,ooo. They did not foresee
the decline in tie national birth rate something
that seems tc follow nations as they grow older
The increase through immigration has not been
enough to make up for that decline so as to aggre
gate a total such as the prophets OF almost a
tury ago foresaw. Our population in 1900 was
7o3oS3S7, and II would seem that Director
Durands estimate should be almost correct.
However, if we took the growth of population as
estimated bv boomers of cities in the West and
by census takers under police direction, the Mer-
RAM estimate would not be too extravagant.
The census takers when they begin work will
have many questions to ask and they should be
freely answered They should be courteously re-
ccived and assisted in their work. It is import
ant that the industrial census men should be
given every kind of help, for what we shall have
to talk about concerning Wilmington depends
largely upon our showing in this census.

In Lisbon is very large. The dead ex-
coed 100 in the early stages of the out

passengers in Lisbon. &
According to the story told by the
passengers of the Cape Rlanco, the rev.
olution broke out Immediately after n

scenes in the streets along the water
front Twice they saw the cavalry

the bombardment and storming of the
Necesidndes palace.
Crowds of dock laborers who were
watching the bombardment. cheered re-
pcatedly as they saw shells drop with

the initiative OF the revolutionary
movement In Lisbon was taken by the
by a regiment of artillery, blue jack
