More than 5000 pupils will have to at
tend halliday sessions because of thu
crowded condition of the schools. This
congestion will only be partly relieved
by the opening of several new buildings
in October.
1t was stated by DIR. Davidson this
morning that the principals of the grade
vocational schools, over which there Is
difficulty because Of the ruling of the
auditor which makes It impossible to
transfer a teacher at a salary of more
than 81 900, will not be named until next
month. One of the schools will not be
ready until the last of October, and the
other not until November, so that there
is no hurry about naming the principals.

among the people OF the United States, to think
that because SO many of the foreign diplomats in
Washington represent monarchies and have titles,
they are possessed Of certain high mightiness
that keeps them aIoof from the democratic horde.
The stranger American who calls at any of the
embassies or legations is Of courteous treat
ment. which is not always Forthcoming when a
call Is made at an American home. or course the
Foreigners have native courtesy which is inbred,
but unquestionably they have it impressed upon
them by their home government before coming
TO this country that America is democracy and
that they must remember that here all men are
considered equal There are plenty of foreign
diplomats who will be hail fellows well met In a
crowd OF Americans, but who In crowd Of their
own countrymen will be very careful to observe
distinctions of class and hold It beneath their
dignity to show any familiarity with one held to
DO inferior In social standing.

It has been said that length OF service in
Washington rules the matter of precedence
among the diplomats. 1t should be known, how
ever, that ambassadors rank minister's and so
It may be that the minister who has been here
for ten years must Of necessity give way In the
social and official professions to the ambassador

Of such nations as Sweden, Portugal, Greece Den

CORRECT MENTAL PROCESSES
SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC.
Much Like Learning to Play
the Piano.

When the piano player first begins
to practice, he spends an enormous
amount of energy and mental force in
thinking out every movement sepa-
rately and using his will power to
make 1t; but a Paderewski, through
many years of practice, has made his
movements so automatic that he can
play very complicated compositions
and still be thinking of something
else. His brain and nerves have been
SO trained that they make lightning
movements with scarcely thought or
effort of the will.
Character building is like piano
playing.
The art OF all arts is to so train
the mind that just as many as posi-
BILE of the mental processes which are
absolutely necessary to our well-be-
ing shall be automatic. The great
thing is to establish right habits
which will be exercised automatically,
1t does not take very long to estab-
lish a right habit, and if it is en-
couraged. it will serve us a lifetime.
There are a few life habits which,
If formed early and established thor
oughly. viii change the whole career.
If the child is taught to do every
thing to finish, to stamp superiority
upon everything before it goes out of
