English and cut from the four gospels

morals of Jesus from the time of His
birth to His cruci1xion. The four linz

CHILDREN DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL.

IN STUDY made by the Sage Foundation to find the ages at
n which children drop out of school covers 1856 principal cities
in the United States. The results of this investigation are
Illuminating as they are summed up by Professor Bailey, of Yale
University, in Harpers Weekly. 1t was found that for every egh-
teen children to enter the first year in the grammar school only ten
remained in the fifth grade, FIVE in the eighth and but one remained
to graduate from the high school. In other words, 90 per cent. of
the children failed to complete the full twelve years which lead to a
high school diploma. These facts developed by scientific investiga-
ton reveal glaring defects in our system of education, and one great
defect is the extraordinary amount of time that is wasted. Three
months of the year are lost to public education. If a child remains
in the schools twelve years he has no schooling for three years
during that period. The child that remains in the grammar school
only one year has only nine months tuition, and that is not con-
tinuous. The Sage Foundation was wisely instituted. 1t has opened
the eyes of public educators to one highly important truth-the
precious time sacrificed in our public schools.

rook Zoo Much for cr.stes.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A great deal has been said ana VIII
ten during the past WI months OF ths
nublic utilities act and it's effect upon
the aremen and policemen. At o pup
lie hearing we have heard one OF the
assemblymen who we're instruments III
drafting the act declare there was nc
intention to have the act read so tna'
firemen and policemen could not ride
free.
On the other hand, counsel for the
Public Service Corporation declared the
bill specifically prohibited the free
TRANSFORMATION of officials. A lengthy
discussion as to whether policemen
and fremen are public officials or not
was entered into by counsel for both
sides.
All this is very interesting, but the
brief of the Public Service counsel,
which | read in a recent issue OF the
Evening STAR, shows how the fire.
men and policemen are suffering be-
cause of an oversight by the legislators.
This same oversight is so palpable to
me, a .layman. that its escaping the
notice of the legislators appears gross
negligence, or even worse.
The particular point in the Public
Service counsel's brief which called
forth these remarks was this; THE
utility act of 1910 showed a legislative
definition of the word Official as is
contained in the act in question, be-
cause it had therein this provision:
But nothing herein contained shall
prevent the free transportation Of uni
formed public officers while engaged in
the performance of their public duties.
This being omitted from the act in
question is conclusive as to its mean

1t appears to me that the legislators
took it for granted" that the under

would be as effective as a specific pro-
vision in the law 1t also appears to
me that the legislators took too much
for granted. Why? FIREMAN.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS MULTIPLYING

1Ta HE cities of the first class are now to have postal savings
bank depositaries, and one will soon be established in New
York city. 1t is intended to have 1000 dcpositaries in oper-
alton early in July, and the increase will be at the rate of $50 a
week, at which rate there will be 5000 in operation on January 1
next. The success of the depositaries already established would be
regarded as phenomenal if the postal savings bank system was not
in successful operation in foreign countries. There was no imagin-
able reason why it should not be a success in the United States.
The nation has yet to reap the benefit of this new feature of the
postofhce department, and 1t will be a large one.

EXPLOITING THE NATIONS SEAL HERDS.

TN MONG the great natural resources of the nation are the seal
IN herds in Alaskan waters. A few years ago the seal herd of
the Pribilof Islands amounted to a million, and the number
has now been reduced to thirty thousand by indiscriminate killing
by the North American Commercial Company, which is owned by
a number of eminent American citizens. This was done in defiance
of the law, females and young males being ruthlessly destroyed.
1t is charged that this commercial crime was committed with the
consent of federal officials, and Secretary Nagle, of the department
of commerce and labor, is accused of authorizing it. Secretary
Maggie is a Taft appontee, as Secretary Ballinger was, and both ap-
pointments appear to have been influenced with the object of get
ting at and exploiting the natural wealth of the nation.

Just a Line
About Men
You Know

The boys at headquarters were hav-
ing a tanning bee yesterday, telling of
the days gone by. Many topics were
touched upon, and all of the citizens
who were at all prominent we're either
given a gentle %"panning'' or lauded to
the skies.
Sergeant John Connell, attached to
Chief OF Police Corbitt's staff, told a
good one about the man who is always
talked about. Said John: I'VE were in
the old place conducted by Jake the
Barber and having lunch. Jake was
there, and we all knew that he was
playing the races. Just in the mood
for an innocent bit Of pleasure, we
asked the good-natured German what
was a good horse to play for that day.
I'm going to play Small Woman"
said Jake, with a smile; and you
ought to get in, for she is bound to
win"
Never having heard Of such a horse,
we became interested and asked to be
shown the program. We were accom-
modated, and Jake brought forth a
program marked Little Lady,"
well, it's the same thing" said
Jake. 4r,
Jacob Seidler, clerk in the county
collectors Office, is a busy man these
days. The change in the law making
it compulsory to pay county employees
every two weeks. instead of monthly,
has just doubled his work, as it is part
of his duties to check up all the pay
rolls Of the county institutions and
make out all payroll vouchers.
ut is well to let the citizens know of
the remarkable record of John Heller,
who has been a patrolman for the
past thirty-four years" said Lyman
f. Kane. president Of the board of po-
lice commissioners. at their last meet
ing. He has never been before any
police board OF charges of any kind,
and was an ideal patrolman. Then, too,
he was an honorably discharged Union
soldier, and in the army he also had
a good record.
Toward the last years he became
feeble and was given a station at the
Public Library, and everyone came to
know good old John. He WILL be missed,
especially by the school children, who
never entered the library without look
ing for Mr.. Heller and finding out what
books they ought to read"
Heller asked the commissioners to be
placed on the pension list, as he be-
lieved his time for active work was at
an end. He will be missed by the mem
bers of his precinct, by whom he was
consulted on many occasions.
Joseph A. Beecher, lawyer, was
forcibly reminded on Memorial Day,
when the impressive statue to Abra-
ham Lincoln in. front of the Court
House was unveiled, that he saw Lin
coin alive and dead. Mr.. Beecher had
been in Washington some time before
the President fell a victim to Booths
bullet and saw the great American in
the full flush of his activities. Mr..

ERUMMERS WANT
JURY EXEMPT
Claim That They Are as Much En-
titled to Exemption as Men of
other Trades.
Special to The Nep8.

Special to The NeDs.
Jackson, Miss, Nov. 10.-To exempt
travelling men from jury service is
the rather unique idea that will be
proposed to the legislature at its
January session, backed by the en-
dorsement of the several commercial
travellers organizations in the state.
The originator of the movement is
Mr. John Armstrong, a well-known
travelling man of this city, who has al
ready launched a missionary move
ment among the lawmakers, and is re-
ceiving many assurances of support for
his hobby.
According to Mr.. Armstrong, the
duties of the travelling men are just
as important as those Of lawyer, a
doctor a minister of the gospel, tele-
graph operator, druggist, or any 9th
err person now holding exemption
from service
when a merchant wants a travel
ing man. it's like wanting a gun in
Texas-you want it right away" eX'
plains Mr.. Armstrong. ut is not
merely for the travelling man them
selves that I am urging this eXemp-
ton, but also for the convenience OF
the general public. Certainly, ms
business is just as important to me
as a bank cashiers work is to him,
and it bears an equally important rela'
ton to the commercial world in gener-
al. When I am nabbed by deputy
sheriff and forced to go down to the
court house to sit on a Jury, it is not
only inconvenient to me, but equally
so for the customer who is waiting to
give me his order, and likewise the
patrons of that merchant. Every law
of logic favors our exemption, and
feel confident that we will get a code
amendment through at the approach
ing legislative session"
