"LOST" NOT FOR HIM
PICKING UP THINGS GETS STAN

Had Hard Time Making People Believe
in His Honesty-Wife Lays Down
Few Rules for His
Conduct.

Twice Standish came near getting
into trouble because he picked up lost
property in the street. The articles
really were lost and Standish honestly
found them. but he had hard work to
make anybody believe il. After his
second experience his wife laid down
few rules for his guidance:

piled up on the sidewalk" she said.
you must just walk right past and
never offer to return one of them to
the owner"
How about keeping a few plunks
for MYSELF" said Standish.
Mrs. Standish did not smile. IF that
is the way you talked to other people
when they accused you of theft" she
said, Il don't wonder everybody
thought you were guilty"
Never mind" returned Standish;
its all over now. | never expect to
find anything again.
And he did not find anything for six
months. At last, however, he saw an
enameled cigar case lying in a bypath
forth and back which they were walk
ing in Central park. He stopped to
pick it up. His wife pulled him back.
DON'T" she cried. Remember
what happened to you twice before"
Standish rubbed his cheek ruefully.

That is all the more reason why

earthly use for two cigar cases ex-

Standish walked along in stubborn
silence. When they neared home he
was seized with a sudden craving for
smoke. He felt in one pocket, then
in another, for his cigar case.

SPECIAL TEACHERS
Better Than Special Rooms for Dull
Pupiis.

The Waterbury board of education is
being urged to include in its budget for
the coming yegr an extra appropria
ton for the establishment of three
rooms for backward children, in
schools in the center. the eastern and
Brooklyn sections of the city. The
matter will be threshed out later by
the members of the board. There is
a difference of opinion as to the best
way to attain the ends desired. The
esta blishment of rooms for backward
children, who are not detective, but
have Jagged in their studies through
illness or for some other reason, is
one way. The other is by the en-
pIoyment of an extra teacher in each
school building who shall spend her
whole time in the various rooms Civ
ing individual INSTRUCTION to the pupils
class
Supt of Schools Berlin w. Tinker,
when asked for his IDEAS upon this
matter. said that he was in favor of
the employment of special teachers,
one for each school building. He con-
sidered it much the better way, a way
likely to be productive of more bene-
fetal results in the case of the pupil.
who would be likely to make greater
progress. The idea of the special
room for backward pupils was sub
ject to the objection that it differen-
tiated the pupils, who were placed in
the rooms, from the rest of the chill
dren in the school. 1t placed upon
them the stigma of being less bright
than their companions. Binder ordi-
nary circumstances it would be liable
to strike a deadly blow at the child 5
ambition and instead of enabling the
child to make more progress would
amount to a handicap. Superintendent
Tinker said that he was not in favor
of the room for backward children.
