MERELY WAITING.

 sweet approach of May. hate the loud alarum when it calls me
 from my sleep, The languid way l leave my bed would
 make an angel weep; At breakfast time I scarce can keep my
 head above the board, The thought of getting down to work no
 pleasure doth afford It isn't droopy weather yet-the kind the
 poets sing, When everybody's indolent, along in early
 spring; But, ne'ertheless, I get up tired and go to
 bed the same And anyone who suffers so is surely not
 to blame. But I know what will wake me up and put
 me on my feet The sound of many dulcimers could hard
 1y be more sweet; I won't be lazy any more when once I've
 heard the call That always makes the bleachers roar

 TO BE SURE. A pretty face and nothing more Has caused a lot of trouble, When poverty knocked at the door And burst Dan Cupid's bubble, Mere Pretty Face dislikes to work, Nor will economize And looks upon necessity With oyerbrimmng eyes; Or learns to whine and wears frown And shortly gins to nag. And so in course of time becomes A most unlovely hag. But pretty face and loyal heart Combined are hard to beat; The useful-ornamental girl Is twenty times as sweet!

 Dogs are proving the streets In punches and there is much danger Of hy- drophobia falling to the lot of citizens. I had pretty bad scare today.

The Iron Market

The local pig iron market Is SUI inactive. A few sales are said to nave been made at s13.50 and even at a It. tie lower price; but some furnace com panies are holding for $14 and upward. As the iron market has way of jump ing up suddenly brisk buying move ment this month will not be sur rpise. sss ira
 Matthew Addy & Co.'S report for tho week says: With the coming of spring and the resumption of outdoor labor the pig iron outlook is undoubtedly very encouraging. We have had d very severe winter and for weeks at q time 1t has been impossible for con struction to be carried on. During the past week there has been notice able improvement in every branch ol the Iron industry; there. Is certainly a feeling of optimism abroad and several large deals are pending. Inauiries arc almost without exception, for shipment over the last six months of the present year and there is very little demand for spot iron
 Southern furnace men especially are very optimistic and expect great things in 1910, While odd lots of resale iron are still bothering them this is grad ually disappearing and Is mostly foi delivery in the near future so that '' Is not interfering particularly with last-half business. There is quite de- mand for low grade iron from the vari. ous pipe interests. but this seems to bt in short supply

better fitted to the abilities of our girls
than they are to those of our boys. AL
most everywhere throughout the coun-
try as we'll as throughout the state OF
connecticut, there are more backward
claldren and more repeaters among
the BOYS, and more of them fall out
or school without graduating. The
girls progress faster and fail less often
ana more of them complete the course.
Another cause is Physical defective
ness. AAout oen-siXth of the children
who leave school do so on account of
i'll health. Children with bad teeth
take half a year longer to get through
the elementary schools than do those
with good teeth. Children with ade-
noldS take year and a. tenth longer
than do those without adenoids."
DR.. Ayres illustrated his talk by a
large number of graphic charts show
ing conditions in Connecticut cities.
One of these showed the per cent. OF
beginning pupils who continue
through to the final elementary grades
in the different cities as follows: An
sonia. so: New Haven. as: Meriden,
90; MiddietoWn. 81; Hartford. 81; Tor
rineton, 40; Danbuary, 40: Naugatuck
IS: Waterbury, 40; Bridgeport. %
The percentage of average or back
ward children in the different cities
was SHOWN to be as follows: Merideu,
II: Wallin sford. IS: Bristol 20: Tor
rialgton. p Ansonia, 30 Naugatuck
81; MiddletoWn, %; New Haven, 81;
Waterbury, IS; Danbury, 80; Bridge
port, 40.
Accoring to DR.. Ayres the solution
for the problems in this situation lies
first in learning the facts about pres
ent conditions: secondly, in co-opera
ton between school authorities, teach
ers and parents: and. thirdly, in keep
ing track of each individual pupil from
the time he starts school to the day
that he era QuateS.
we may talk of economy in school
administration concluded DR.. Ayres.
''of school reforms and educational
progress, but the point ! want to make
is that the tlruest and greatest econ
omy will only come when we take care
of the tagging half who now clog the
educational machinery. The most inn
portant school reform consists in see
ing to it, not that choldren sit in our
schools a specified number of years,
but in making sure that they profit by
their stay The truest educational
progress will be made when we evolve
truly democratic aim in education
an aim that shall reach the needs of
every child and the whole of every
Clild-an aim that shall be as much
concerned about the progress of every
child as it is about his presence. and
as much concerned about his health as
it is about his head.
