there is a new orchestra OF twenty pieces
which is reinforced by tho wonderful

the effect OF an orchestra of twenty-five

feature which. however. Is most impor-
tant in making school an deal school.
particularly In large commercial and
industrial city
School hours are short. and when they
are over the pupils are left practically to
themselves. often parents cannot ats
factorly attend to :he boy: business,
sickness and divers occupations may pre-
vent them, often again the comfort of
the family or Of the neighbors, the lack
OF room or OF yard prevents the boy
from enjoying the exercise that the ex-
uberance OF his life and the cravings OF
his nature require. Hence he is al
lowed to play on the street, unsafe
guarded. among unwholesome influence
and frequently evil surroundings, and this
AT an age when the character is more
plastic and the mind most impression
able.
Agalns. these evident dangers most
parents cannot provide. The ideal school,
however. can do so. In such n school
the boy is guarded and protected. and
his physical. mental and moral develop
meut advances hand I'm hand from morn
ing until night; meanwhile his family
can rest secure IN the certainty that
