From the Syracuse Post-Standard
 The largest office building nj the world is going up in New York The old Eduita- ble building, destroyed by fire, was car ried on the books of the company as valueless because being only few stories
 high is wasn't paying a reasonable re- turn upon the land value alone As land values increase the number of people who must be accommodated upon a square foot area must increase to make investment profitable; and as the height of the pile increases to provide greater accommodations and greater rentals the value of the land increases. The new Equitable, covering the block bounded by Broadway, Pine, Nassau and Cedar streets, will have SS stories and 45 acres of floor space, because less would be an extrava gance.
 But the congestion of people in lower Manhattan unprecedented in the history of man, Is no economy for the people of New York as a whole The new work shop will make the congestion of the mar row streets more serious, and this con- gestion not only means discomfort but danger also. Below the surface of the street new water pipes and sewer mains, gas pipes and wire subways must be provided and the underground Is clogged with them now. The subway carries ? 1000. 600 passengers year. Yet this addition to the transportation facilities of New York has not solved the problem of the prompt distribution of the people from home to business and back again, because faster than the means of re- lieving congestion can be constructed new skyscrapers rise to add to the congestion The new Equitable, with its thousands of inhabitants. all turned into Broadwoy at about the same hour to find means to go

DAY OBSERVED FOR SEVENTH
 GRADE PUPILS OF JEFFERSON CO SCHOOLS

One great demand made of the country schools at present Is for uniformity. not necessarily copying one from another, lsui for a definite system and recognized end toward which the successive years of tn, grammar grade course may be directed Without this idea of system and without some standard to which each school is expected to keep its work, the country schools can never win the place they should try to deserve as a really valuable and dependable factor in states educa- tional whole.
 There is great need of country gram mar schools of such a standard that the pupil who completes the seven years course will be able to use his brains in- telligently and his hands skifully, that he will be able to respond to individual or local circumstances and that OH the other hand, in point of his actual textbook knowledge. he will be capable of taking the high school course in the allotted four years.
 There are two chief needs; first that the school shall train its pupils to be reliable and independent and to fill capably their particular sphere; and, second. that it shsll give such thorough textbook and routine work that there will be no ques- ton of it's meeting high school entrance requirements.
 Seventh Grade Examinations
 At present this last end is being stressed by the introduction of uniform county cx- aminations for the pupils who complete the seventh grade of the several rural ot1a,,, eal.a -I,,,& ~ were first held in 1910 with two counties The following year there were three and in 1912 there were 10. Last year 40 coun- ties held seventh grade examinations. The general plan suggested for conducting these examinations is the same for all counties. committee complies eXamina- ton questions which are submitted 10 the county superintendent of education. These questions are given to the examiners. who are school principals or teachers of sev enth grades; and they hold the exami- nation in selected centers throughout the county. These places are so distributed that there is one in easy driving distance of every pupil.
 The examination papers are returned to the committee for grading. and certih- cates are awarded to those pupils pass iEg the examination and thus completing their elementary school course.
 The examination is the same for all schools of any one county. though they may differ in the several counties. Exam ination is given in arithmetic, United States history, geography, English, phys iology and spelling, and agriculture, civil government, music and drawing may be added
 This examination marks the close of the pupils grammar school course. Before it's inauguration there were no units no rec ognition of the completion of a certain amount of work A boy or girl attended school for four. six, or eight years and then stopped. He had no definite end in view. Indeed there was none. Now, fin- ishing the seven years course passing the examination, and receiving his cer- tifcate is a goal toward which he may work. It is much more encouraging to study when there is some end in view, |
