A INDUSTRIOUS FRA ANKENSTEIN'
 tHartford Time)

A striking phrase was used by Dr. Woods Hutchinson of NeW York in the mental hygiene section of the hy- giene congress at Washington when he described the criminal courts a11c the corresponding police machinery as "a rnonstrous Frankenstein, sup ported at vast expense by 97 per cent of the population to protect it against the criminal 2 per cent of the con- Inunity' Perhaps his figures are open to challenge, and he may not be wholly convincing I'll his theory of a substitute for the courts and the police but at least he will set some people thinking.

THINGS ARE' GROWING BETTER.

(Christian RegiSter.)
 Right is often the scaffold, but not forever; wrong is often on the throne, but not forever. Christianity has been called a religion of sorrow a charge brought against it is that it is only fit for men and women who are slaves or failures in the battles of life; but the time has already in some a note of victory, and is a religion not of sorrow but of joy and successful endeavor. If the process of evolution Of those who aspire to wisdom. it means that out of the ruck of human ity through toll and struggle there will emerge men and women who will be strong, wise, capable, sympathetic, and successful; they will gain control Of the. forces of nature and compel them to serve arts and sciences which will make all human life wholesome and desirable.

Otica observer1

(UtIca ObserVer.)
 How many persons are there in Uti- ca who are daily using a, typewriter: The numbers runs up into the thous- ands. and includes business and pro fessiOnaI men as well as the many who make their living by the manipulation of the keys. And in many cases, partfcula rly among the stenogra phers, and represents an important invest ment. How much does that typewrit- er cost? There is a typewriter made in Syracuse which sells in this coun- try for $9O. It is a very good type writer, we have not the least doubt. But is it $35 worths better in this coun- try than it is abroad? The same or in Europe for S55, thanks to the Republican tariff of 30 per cent. on the class Of manufactures. What does the user of the typewriter think of this sort of 1'protection?'

CONGESTION DECREASING
More Part Time Pupils Expect
ed in. The Bronx than in
Brownsville.

Three-Quarters of a million boys and
girls must awake this morning to a
realization OF the fact that the freedom
Of the vacation days Is over.
A great many grown-ups will begin a
new experience also to-day with the OPEN
ing Of the schools. because a large num-
Der of new teachers have been appointed
and will begin their work to-day.
Superintendent William II. Maxwell said
yesterday that the Department Of Educa-
ton had been making extra efforts 70
meet the new problems that grow out OF
the city's rapid development. and that he
expected everything 10 go on smoothly, to
the satisfaction of both the teachers and
the pupils.
There is he said. less congestion IN the
Borough of Manhattan than ever before.
The centre Of congestion has shifted this
year to The Bronx Last year the
Brownsville section. in the Borough Of
Brooklyn. was the most crowded. A new
school for the Brownsville pupils Is in
readiness, and will be used to-day for the
first time. This IS the only new school
in the greater city
on for several days, il. it is thought. the
largest in the history OF the board. ST.
pcrintendent Maxwell said that he had
no figures, but that he thought It would
be more than twenty-five thousand over
the registration OF 1911. Last years figures
were in the neighborhood OF 100. 90 pupils.
There is still some overcrowdng In
Brooklyn. which means pupils on half
time The congestion has been somewhat
relieved. though. and will be further re-
lieved with the opening of two new
schools toward the end OF September.
Or. Maxwell said that there were no
now features or measures in Contempla-
ton. There are TO be no changes in pol
ICY" he said I'VE expect TO go on in
pretty much the same old way. But the
conditions under which We expect 10
work are such that the prospects for sue
cess were never better. We have never
opened the schools with such favorable
opportunities.
