Prince. Record.

Prince Is well-known resident OF
Wayne, Pa, distinguished for his de-
pertinent, accomplishments, chivalry,
friendliness and ready intelligence.
Strangers admire him most for a duty,
in the performing Of which he has been
photographed in the act, and that IS OF
going regularly every morning for the
Philadelphia Record distance OF
four and a half squares. placing his
forepaws on the Union news stand till
the obliking agent folds the paper for
him, and then taking his Record
straight home. In the photograph you
see him waiting at the kitchen door for
admittance. Altho he has no watch
(not even dog watch"). he performs
this service with punctilious regularity
that would indicate an instructive COM
putation of time.
A vain and mischievous parrot, an
other pet Of the family, initiates his
masters whistling for Prince, and
would summon the dog often. but
Prince Is not fooled by this prankish
bird, and the leisurely look OF scornful
contempt that he at times levels IN the
parrots direction would forever sub

pitals for the poor where they may
shelter in their direst necessity at a
cost common surate to their earnings
and savings.
Every large city has It's hospitals and
medical schools where the very poor
may receive medical advice and treat
ment. These dispensaries and clinics
conducted by skilled and competent
specialists are the finest charities on
earth. They lack the stigma of pau
perism and take on the dignity OF help
fulness. They are democratic 10 the
last degree. Name or standing or con-
dition cut no figure with the clinical
surgeon and physician. Not the man but
the weakness of the human being be-
fore him appeals. And in smaller cities
these do not exist.

It came not more from the great mind
which conceived than from the cheap
wage workers. The very poor helped
build the Hartman billion in the sweat
of their brows. Nothing could be finer
than to adapt its beneficence 20 their
needs.
The time is coming when we shall
m ultiply hospitals and technical schools
over universities and colleges because
the need for them is greatest. That IS
the true test Of charity and human
helpfulness; that it touches the crying
need OF the hour.

can perhaps best be illustrated by the
stories Of few men.
One bitter December day a feeble,
tottering. almost maudlin old man was
brought to US by the police. Some
body" Somewhere" had bought him
q ticket for Chicago. That was all he
could tell US except that he had been to
lots of places" Every clue Of any
sort which he gave us We attempted to
trace. We finally found. in a small
village in Illinois. a brother-inlaw of
the old man, who was unable to take
care OF him. but who gave US the adj
dresses OF some relatives in Cincin-
natl These. when appealed to. claimed
to be unable TO care for him. No one
knew where his sons daughters
lived. nor how long the old man had
been wandering about uncared for. He
was not q resident of Cook county. but
as We could not learn where he really
belonged, the only thing that could be
done was to place him in the poor
house at Dunning, where he died six
weeks after his arrival in Chicago.
One sturdy beggar. almost all of
whose income was spent FOR whisky,
came from San Francisco to Chicago
on charity tickets, and asked us to send
him to Philadelphia We refused, and
offered him well paid work but he de-
clined it and few weeks later came
and boosted that he had begged from
ministers enough to pay his full fare to
Philadelphia There was no reason for
doubling his story, since two Episco-
pal ministers had telephoned the Of

that he had not received 1t and must 80
at once to look after his interests.
We found that this man had been
almost a year in making the trip from
Los Angeles to Chicago. The Roches-
ter Charity Organization Society adj
vised us not to send the man, as he
would at once be dependent upon char
i,y, because the brother had died in
poverty, leaving nothing for his own
family. We refused. under the circum-
stances, TO send him east to certain
dependence, we offered to send him
back to his sister In Los Angeles, who
was willing to care for him. In five
days he could have been in Los An
geles, where he could have remained in
comparative comfort, but he refused
and said he would secure help elae-
where and push on to Rochester. He
reached there four weeks later and has
ever since been a inmate OF the local

Is IT A GOOD THING?
rBurlington Hawkeye].

Burlington I1dWASSS
The long summer vacation Is again
drawing near. and again all sorts OF
people are asking themselves. rs 1t
good thing?" Perhaps it is. but the
number Of people are increasing who
believe that brief vacation, say two
weeks at the and of every three
months of school would be OF better
value to teachers and pupils. 1t is ar
gued that the heat is intense during
the summer months. So it is. But the
boy and girl who leave school do not
get a long summer vacation. and con-
slider themselves fortunate if they get
any kind of a vacation at any old time.
II the teacher had chosen another &C.
cupation, there would have been no
summer vacation of three months for
him. And the average teacher would
perhaps prefer teaching to vacation.
During the extreme heat. OF which
there is rarely more than few weeks.
the tasks could be lightened, and the
school might move out OF doors. There
ought to be plenty ont Of doors with
every school house in the state of
Iowa
The long summer vacation was never
originated because II was deemed too
hot for the teacher or the student.
Both were needed in the fold at much
hotter work than teaching or studying
and at much longer hours than the
school rules exact. The machine has
come to take the place of the chill
dren, who We're wont TO toll in the
fields of Iowa, but the old school ar
rangement has remained. Some day
the teachers the public, the school au-
thorities. will all get together and will
substitute four vacations Of two or
three weeks each for the one interim
nable summer vacation. which can not
be a good thing for the schools.

and also by refusing to contribute to

the leartiness OF his endorsement:

Slowly but surely the central school
idea is gaining ground in Iowa. Most
wise were the advocates Of this re-
form. They made no attempt to force
school consolidation. They did not
even advocate 1t in manner that
stirred UP the opposition. They sirnp-
~ called attention to the benefits now
and then, and save everybody time to
do their own thinking. And they are
getting results. The one serious OBJ
jection to the graded township school.
to the present. has been the question
of hauling the children to and from
school. Even when the roads are in
good condition. it takes much time and
proves rather expensive. But by and
by the roads are going to be much
better than they are now and then the
school house might be used for a much
larger district than is possible at the
present time. for the children can
then be brought to the school and
taken home again in swift touring
cars. And where five miles might be
the limit for q wagon to gather up the
pupils and carry them to school and
then carry them home again. ten miles
would be as nothing to the auto. II the
roads are good.
