City Clerk pcnsionel.

The other day the city of Newark

Nobody that has studied the sub

callings. and their compensation is
not large enough 10 permit adequate
provision against old age or disa-

dangerous about other branches Of
city service. and the upper levels

The identical principle applies with
schoolboys. The summer camp is an
effort TO neutralize the effect OF va
cation in unhroken doses. Not that
the boy is made to cram" while he
is in camp. Study and recitation
hours are nominal. Recreation is
plentiful, and all in the open air.
Whatever there is of routine is all
addressed 10 the salutary end Of
keeping the boys mind and morals
and his response to authority from
going stale. His manners are care
fully looked after. A sensible, but
not strenuous. system OF rewards and
punishments is enforced in most OF
the camps.
The success and popularity with
which the idea has generally been
accepted is an earnest of it's wide
spread adoption. AS parents and
educators come more and moro to
see its practicability, costs will be
reduced. so that boys OF nearly all
classes may he heneiiciarics. And it
would not be surprising if, event
ually. the summer camp were made
a part OF public school systems. main
tanned at public expense. and almost
invaluable as minister to health and

Sioux City Auto Races

From all reports the Sioux
City auto races were a decided
success. The day was ideal
and the 10000 visitors wit
messed one OF the best regulated
auto races ever run in the
United States. Contrary to the
early reports, everything went
off smoothly and no one was
held up by excessive charges.
The admission to the grounds
was very reasonable and the
transportation facilities were
adequate for the enormous
crowd. Not an accident of any
consequence marred the days
pleasures, and that is speaking
a lot for dirt track. Seventy
eight miles an hour was aver
aged by the winner and the
track was in as good a shape at
the finish as at the start. From
all indications Sioux City will
make this an annual event.
The Sioux City business men
are to be congratulated on the
success of such a large under
taking.
