rived from it much pleasure Mr.. Brooke
also appreciatively acknowledged indebt-
edness and Mr.. Messer spoke feelingly or
the unusually close relationship that ex-

students and the members of the faculty.
This is the kind of school spirit that is
productive Of results-a spirit engenderlng
pride Of the right sort.
X
Nov that the stands erected for specta-
tors at the unwilling have been re-
moved. it is possible to Judge Of the ar
t1st1c merit of the Pulaski and kosciusko
monuments recently erected in this city.
So far as modelling goes. both seem cred
liable. The Pulaski. by Chod3inski, has
much to commend it. The horse is good
and the rider sits erect and carries him
self with dignity. There is, moreover, a
certain picturesqueness in the flowing
cloak and Polish cap, which is welcome.
In other words. this statue, despite GER
and to its credit be it said it surmounts an
excellent pedestal. The KosciuSko, by
Popiel, is less pleasing. The figure of the
hero is impressive in measure, but rath-
er because of attitude than personality,
and the subsidiary groups attract atten-
ton through their dramatic suggestion
rather than their intrinsic worth.
The monument calls for attention, but
does not substantiate it's claim. The
sculptor has not found that essential ele-
ment in all monumental work, repose In
action. and thus has expressed action
merely in suspension But more than un-
fortunate is the emplacement of this mon
ument. If it was worthy of erection it
should have been given dignitied setting, a
place where to advantage 1t might be seen
At present it merely serves as an obsta
Gle. With the great tree that stands In
close proximity. it is distinctly out OF
scale. and by the passer the street
Kosciusko can scarcely be seen, so great
is the elevation of the pedestal. All this
seems i'll advised and regrettable. The
kosciusko monument in some other place
! might be interesting and acceptable
| whereas under the present conditions it Is
a waste and Disagreement. It is against
such blunders this that 1t is hoped the
| federal art commission, soon to be ap-
| pointed by the President with authority
! from Congress, will safeguard the city.

States promptly accepted the invitation

for an exhibit. England as long ago as

Congress has authorized an appropriation

Mayor Gaynor's Way.


1t is conceded that Mayor Gaynor Of
New York has made a great record in
Office by methods marvellous in their
simplicity. He has engaged in no rows
and made no big s%hakeups. In the
main he has worked with the tools he
found ready. infusing new energy
when necessary by putting new blood
in the directing force. This proved
more effective than revolution, which
wouldn't fail to end in confusion for a
long time.
Mayor Gaynor took Office as a re-
former, but did not attack the in
trenched evils like a cyclone. His atti-
tude was that things can and should be
done right and no mar or men higher
up, no bosses or men with pulls. should
interfere. He was dead in earnest
and too wise to be bluffed. OF course
he was independent Of party. He took
Office unpledged. Voters of three par.
ties elected him, and he was the peo-
PIES mayor. On a large scale he has
indicated the theory that nonparti.
san rule Ia best for municipalities.

was $27s,4 O,230, and the evenu S1,4l9,-
842. This revenua was all appropriated
by the last legislature and Governor
Burke vetoed several thousand dollars of
items passed by the legislature in order
to keep within the revenue.
There has been IN increase in the
taxes in the past twelve years of
$1,Ol5,26l, all appropriated by the legis-
lature. Taxpayer how do you like 1t?

Going Back to School.

There is d notion current in this
country that the average American boy
hates school and would rather be
whipped than go back to lessons after
vacation or at any time when he i'm
agined himself done with books for
ever. If it is true of the average. then
the future of usefulness. prosperity
and honor lies with a small minority Of
the youth Of the land. There are boys
who, while enjoying vacation holidays.
are glad when the day comes again to
take up their tasks of preparation for
their life work. They realize that
school work must be mastered and
that the more attentive the student is
the quicker the grind is over and the
ooner more interesting tasks will be-
gin.
1t is true that the boys most enthu-
siastic about school are the grownups
| against whom the door is closed. For
them it is too late to go back. Perhaps
IN their young days they were in that
majority-if it is a majority-who
hated the sound Of the school bell and
kept their eyes on the clock instead Of
books when school was Sin" Out in
the world they soon learned the bene-
fits of school work and training. Alas.
the knowledge came too late! The
hero Of the ball field gets no end of
popular applause, but it is ephemeral
and valueless in comparison with the
respect and honor with which all
classes reward the good scholar. Here
is a school prize worth winning, and
the boy who cannot realize it now
should take it on faith from his elders.
