That the efficiency of school work as
conducted at present in the New York
schools is very low and that, compared
with school children in other cities. the
school children OF New York arc slightly
better IN speed. worse in accuracy and
very poor In reasoning Is the conclusion
Of stuart A. Courts, expert investigator
for the Committee on School Inquiry.

ONLY 10 BOYS IN 1000 ARE
CAPABLE.
One or the most startling discoveries
made by Mr.. Courts is the cxtraor-
binary range of ability in any given
grade. lie found children In the primary
grades of the elementary school OF every
level OF ability, from those who could
do aone OF the examples to those who
could do all OF them.
Suppose a business man hires "A
graduate OF the grammar school" says
Mr.. Courts. what are his chances of
securing efficient help, so far as the
fundamentals are concerned?" lie
answers this by the statement that. a..
cording to the test he has given, which
requires not only accuracy but speed.
only thirteen boys out OF u thousand
would qualify FOR business, positions
Mr.. Courts has been able to make his
test by means of print,l slips ON which
are given manner of example. to-

SUDDEN, is Judged by the number of

SPORT DOPE BOXING

Cheney of Cubs and Smith of Sox
- Pitch Great Ball.,
The Cub yanigans persuaded Ed
Reulbach to take an auto ride yes
uerday and managed to beat the reg
ulars, 8 to 0, with Larry Cheney and
Charley Smith in the box. Painter,
Sutclffe and Powell threw for the
regulars.
1t was Cheney's first combat of the
season, and in the four innings he
decorated the mound the street rail
way contractor gave excellent ser
vice. Three hits were made off his
delivery and he ;breezed along with
out exertion. This morning LarTy's
arm gave his no trouble and he is
ready to do his share of the work
on the transforming trip home.
Charley Smith strangled the regu-
lars with three safeties in five frames
and was never in danger of being
scored upon. So feeble were the
Cubs efforts against Cheney and
Smith that they couldn't push man
as far as third base. The perform
ance wasn't very creditable to team
that is touted as the heaviest hitting
aggregation that has represented the
West Side in years;
The three youngsters who volun-
teered to battle the yanigans left all
their \cleverness at the hotel. Hits
and passes, sandwiched with smart
base-running, gave the vans runs on
each HEAVIER. In the eigth inning the
recruits worked the double steal
twice on Cotter and Evers.
Mike Heckinger, the local catcher
with the Cubs, is showing great i'm
provement in his playing. When he
first went to Tampa there was MOTH
ing startling about the tall boys work
and he was not conceded chance
to stick with the Cubs through the
season. Cotter was given the call

English heavyweight. e
After his decisive defeat by Gu1-

reason for Wells to stay in this coun-
, try, unless he wants job driving
a truck,
Wells has baffled everyone who has
seen him in action or read of his
exploits. He seems to be a whale of
a fighter when things are coming his
way, is clever, has a singing wallop,
as he showed in the Palzer fight, and
can outlook any of the heavies now
doing business. E
But as soon as he is shaken up
by few jolts from his opponent he
goes to pieces. He boxes instructive

blows, and there: is a suspicion of
an ochre color in his makeup. -
In the first round at New York last
night he dazzled Smith, who is not

ner's nose was twice its usual size.
The round was hardly interesting.
When the gong rang for the be-

EARLY DA Us.
BY JAMES r. GLASS.

The scenes of my first childhood home
Still sweetly linger in my mind,
When | the fields and woods did roam,
And listened to birds of every kind.
My soul was tuned to nat raj things,
And my mind from vice was free;
Then the pleasure which childhood
brings,
In all its fulness, belonged to me.
| was a child of tender years,
With naught to bother my mind;
l had no trouble and no fears
Of misfortune of any kind.
The days were passing swiftly by,
With no thought of the tomorrow
To trouble or cause me to sigh,
And did not trouble borrow.
Only a succession of delight
Kindly greeted me evrv day:
From early morn till late al night.
1t was work, school or heaIthful play.
The chores | did liohtereL ny care;
Sleep better on m: I'D at night;
Relished better my homely fare,
And had no dreams of dreadful fright,
| had little worry and strife,
Which were merel' specks in The sky
OF blissful, happy childhood life.
But evil days were drawing nigh.
