to ocean in an air ship, get run over by an
automobile going ninety miles an hour
but what's the use going back hundred
years? A work on chemistry ten years
old is of no good except as matter of Gu
riosity; the same is true of physics,
zoology, astronomy, and the other sci
ences; true of shorthand and bookkeeping,
business methods and nearly everything
else.
AS the steam ship has crowded out the
sail boat, the typewriter the goose quill
pen and pokeberry ink, so have the famous
Byrne systems of business training, book
keeping and shorthand taken the place of
the old systems. The reason is plain
these systems cut the time and cost OF be-
coming an expert accountant or stenog-
rapher in half, teach business as we'll as
bookkeeping, let the student begin earning
while the student OF the old systems IS not
half thru his course they give the student
better practical working knowledge,
which means better salary.
These practical, modern, time saving
systems can be had in this section only at
the Tyler Commercial College. You would
not think Of riding in an OK cart in prefer
ence to an automobile. Then why think
of studying the old OK cart systems of &C.
counting and stenography when you can
get the Byrne systems which possess such
wonderful advantages that they enabled
the management Of the Tyler Commercial
College to build in the short space of
twelve years the largest business training
school in America, with an annual enroll
ment of 1900 students; a school that has
enrolled pupils from thirty-six different
States and seven foreign countries.

little danger of their exhaustion. In 1910
we produced, according to the United

the value of the imports amounted to only

Wake Up!


1t is the Indifference and unconcern of
the upper class of citizens which are re-
sponsible, according to Commissioner of
Accounts Fosdick, of New York City, for
most of the graft which honeycombs mu-
nicipal politics. There is not a person in
the community unaffected by it, but the
average good citizen who obeys the laws
himself seems to take no personal interest
in the way the public business is run or
the enormous extent to which graft in its
many forms is robbing the city.
Affirming that conditions are on the up
grade in all cities, Commissioner Fosdick
shows the need of wider interest and in
telligence concerning city problems. eve

suit of success, has abandoned his civic
obligations and turned the conduct of
government over to men whom he holds in
contempt. Unconsciously the business
man has degenerated as a citizen. He
has slipped from point to point as emer-

tell him how he could get around laws that
seem to impede his progress
In republic much authority is dele

that there are few simple duties inherent
in citizenship which cannot be delegated

that wins the first game in a worlds series almost infalibly wins

exceptions to the rule. In one of them Boston figured. That

AS in New York yesterday there was plenty of room in the
bleachers. Those who arrived at the park before dawn endured
hardships to see the second game of the important series. At II

that hour.

the change in the weather conditions.
Marauard, with his terrific speed
from the south side, looked good to
Captain Larry Doyle, but McGraw
was not at all certain that RUDE could
hold out under the chilling wind after
his arm began to perspire. Mathew

uphold the honor of the Giants.

seat 1900, were empty at 1880 O'Clock.
When the game began a liberal esti-

New York's delegation of fans, wear

Legislature to annex the borough OF
M~erchantville to the city of Camden
The two municipalities are built up 10
each other so that there is no visible
division, but the principal reason for
the proposed consolidation is the de-
sire of property owners to escape in

Annexation would mean a big drop

ton in assessments which in this
place are considerably higher than in
