Damage Caused by storm.

A considerable part of the expense OF
repairs during the past summer was due
to the storm that hit Washington July
%, with such disastrous effect. That storm
cost the Board OF Education more than
s, 900.
Most of the buildings looked like sleeves
after the hail had gotten through with
the win6ows," said DR.. Davidson, "and
many of the roofs OF the buildings were
damaged heavily"
BY January ], 1914, the school buildings
will be better on by $4,000. that amount
being allotted 10 the board to be expended
by that date. But large part OF 1t has
been used to put the buildings in shape
for the opening of the fall term.
The figures showing the number OF en-
trants in the different grades of the Dis
trict schools afford an interesting study.
They show viyidly the necessity under the
present social system for children to leave
the school room for the office or factory.
The records show that more than half
of the children have to quit school for
the more serious business of life before
they have reached the seventh year OF
their common school education. The per-
centage OF children that. are allowed the
fun and training OF the kindergarten is
a little better than one-third and the

LONG HEAD is BUSINESS ONE
Says, Than Size-Some Noted
Examples.

London.--A writer in an Indian pa
per states that heads have changed
remarkably during the last quarter of
century, owing to the advancement
of education, which is materially at
fecting business men and women by
developing the mental powers. The
person who will hold the reins OF
command in the future will be the
long headed Individual, who is fast
surprising his wide headed brother.
The shape of the head is of greater
Importance than it's size, and the best
literary type of head varies from 20 to
231a inches, but up to 24A inches
may be found men Of powerful in
tellects. Heads that succeed in bust
ness and in manufacture and mech.
anism are usually large. wide about
the ears and forward, with broad,
though not always high forehead.
Heads that succeed in educational,
literary, scientific, analytical and ar
tlstic pursuits are generally long, pro-
portionately narrow and high, with a
good development forward Of the
ears. Sir Thomas Upton, H. Gordon
Selfridge and Sir Joseph Lyons are
among the men who possess heads
which may be accounted somewhat
ideal types of the class of business
men who will lead in the future.

land to those on ships sailing from

ing European vessels, is making an
effort to obtain 100000 with which
to endow a hospital suitable to its
needs. An appeal has been sent out
to the generous people of America,
particularly to those who have some
sort of sentimental attachment to this
picturesque dot in the waye-tossed Wa
tiers of the Atlantic.
Once the center Of tremendous in
dustry basedssWwssss catching Of whales
Nantucket now figures chiefly as
community engaged for brief season
each year in catching summer board
ers, but it knows no closed season
for the rescue of persons on ships
wrecked in the troubled waters~out-
side it's haven. There have been ter
rible wrecks recorded as happening
in the vicinity and daring work by
life savers since the first hardy pio-
neers settled on the island two and a
half centuries ago.
Isle de Nantochyte You will find the
spelling on an outline map Of early
days. The island is almost crescent
shaped, about Is miles long and about
two and half miles wide, and has
a coast line of 80 miles. It belongs
to Massachusetts, but is separated
from Cape Cod penincula by % miles
of water. The village Of Nantucket
is on the north shore of the island,
almost midway east and vest but
it was not always there. The orig
inal site was on the west end of the
island at a point now known as Mad
dequet harbor. In 1872 the settlers
moved to the present site, which then
was called Wescoe. The next year,
by order of Governor Francis Love-
lace, 1t was named Sherburne, and 1t
was not until 1895 that the present
name was adopted by the village.
Although Nantucket island is dot
ted with handsome summer villas its
surface presented few attractions to
