1t is now the time of the year when
the schools are putting on the finish
ing touches in their work and the sub
ject OF promotions is naturally fore
most. Principals should bear in mind
that any untoward advancement of pu-
pills will finally result in Unreasonable
harm and detriment to the children.
Our race, especially. should have a
firm foundation in all things which
contribute to present and future ele-
ments of citizenship. False notions
of education produce fatal notions of
life. 1t is not the idea of getting by
which should be held out. 1t is the
idea Of real value which counts. Chill.
bred should be taught this above all
other things. A school which boasts
of quantity rather than quality in its
products not only falls short of its
purpose but is a positive menace to
the public.

The management of Lincoln park,
finding that the prices set for the
dancing pavilion were too high to be
popular, reduced the same to meet a
greater demand. Why not pursue the
same policy with the Y. NJ. C. A. bill
lard room? It is o and never shall
be the policy of the Sun to a~ntagonize
the Y. M. C. A. as an institution. It's
influence is too we'll established
everywhere. 1t must succeed here, but
can not reach the highest success if
its management is to pursue a policy
of pigheadedness in the face OF local
conditions. A big enterprise like the
Y. NJ. c. A. is no place for managerial
c%onceit, and any manifest disregard
for the reasonable rights of its sup
porters will naturally be met by oppo-
sition.

To the Editor of the Kansas City
Sun: 1t has been my good fortune
to pay a recent visit to Hot Springs,
Ark, and in the meantime to visit our
institution, the Pythian sanitarium, at
that place. We have the greatest in
stitution Of its kind in the world and
every Pythian should take pride in
rallying to the standard of that old
Trojan, DR.. c. M. Wade, who is labor,
ing assidiously to make it a success,
as l believe, that it means more for
the advancement of our race than
any other institution of its kind. And
l hope that in the future provisions
will be made by the great body OF
Pythians to thoroughly equip it with
all the requirements of a first-class
sanitarium. The Pythian body should
see to it that this plant in the South
west be developed to equal any such
institution in the land so that the
Pythians from all over the world may
derive benefits by visiting the world
famous resort, Hot Springs, Ark. All
honor to our Supreme Chancellor and
Pythian Temple Commission for hav-
ing rebuilt and r~econsecrated such an
institution for the honor of the frater-
nifty and the benefit of the race.
Respectfully yours,
CLARENCE NJ. JENKINS,

Notwithstanding the bad weather
the colored people have shown a fine
interest in the new Lincoln park,
which has just been placed at their
disposal. Better weather will bring
bigger crowds, of course, and if the
management keeps up the high stand
ard promised and continues to main
tain colored employees at decent living
wages there will be many reasons why
our people should continue to give the
enterprise unlimited support.

The picnic given last Friday for the
school children was largely attended
and every one brought well filled bas-
kets, and not a person was turned
away hungry. Their teacher, Miss
Elsie Lair, also furnished them with
plenty of ice cream and had their pic
lures taken, so in after years they
will recall how they looked after par
taking of all the delicacies of the sea-

Merely ''Successful Operation"

The observers could see through their
glasses little furry now and then. as
though some strong men were fighting
for some spot of slender vantage. Sew
eral times those nearest heard deep
chested 'hurrah.'' as some company of
German lads saluted their Caesar. Little
by little the encroaching waters re-
duced that black area in the Dixmude
meadows. The sun shone very brightly.
For the most part the observers were
so distant that they could watch this
spectacle of death impersonally. They
could assume that godlike superiority
to mere human agony that one finds
in the official communicates. The
drowning of six thousand Germans had
become merely "a successful opera
ton" to them. Upon the German side
one assumes a certain tempered citation.

STRAPS ARE ABSENT
IN CHRISTIANIA CARS

Users of street cars in .Christianla,
Norway. are uninitiated in the Joy
of strap-hanging, according to a re-
port received a t the Department of Com
merce from Commercial Attache Henry
d. Baker. Mr.. Baker has much praise
for the street cars of that city, saying
that excellent electric street car serv-
ice and the LUXURIOUS street cars are
one of the features of the city.
The Christia mia street cars" he re-
ports. ARE all brightly painted red,
green. blue, and other colors on the
outside, according to the lines on which
they are used. and are conscipuous for
their very large windows and elegant
curtains. There are no straps for pas
sengers. but on toe upper parts of the
seats, which face forward and not side
ways, there are small inches which af-
ford a passenger in the aisle con-
venient grip for the hand.
The new type of cars are very long,
although some of the OLD short cars
are still in use. The cars are kept
scrupulously clean. and on the plat
forms are small metal receptacles
where passengers can throw away their
used-up tickets, remains of cigars, etc.
instead of throwing them on the
floor"
The conductors, he said are neatly
uniformed. They receive wages of
$27.04 per month net. after deducting
payments for uniforms, sick funds and
widows pensions.

assistant secretary of the Department

ticle was prepared, is an association

facts of living and working cohditio'ls

master workman of the Knights of La
Dor a quarter of a century ago, who
established the experimental nucleus
around which the present system has
grown. Sufficient power, either to pro-
tect or to extend it's work, however.
did not come until the creation of the
Department of Labor in 1913.

JITNEY BUS IN VICTORIA
lessons STREET CAR FARE
Railways Offer Eight Tickets for rs
Cents-Earnings Of Companies
Reduced Over One-Half.

Jitney bus competition in Victoria,
Canada, has grown SO great that the
railroads. in an effort to draw back
their old-time business. are offering
eight tickets for n quarter. But this
has not helped them much, because
they cannot take the people to- their
front doors as the 1itney does, &C
cording to a repor. from Vice Consul
r. NJ. Newcomb.
The jitneys have decreased the earn
ings Of the railroad approximately 80
per cent, he says. But street car COM
petition is not the only one for the
jitney, for they compete with hacks.
cabs and motors that regularly ply
for hire, and the rates for driving by
the hour, going to and from boats,
trains and thea ters have been reduced
by more than one-half. AS in the
cities in the United States, the jitneys
ulay to the short -faul traffic. leaving
the long and less profitable hauls to
the railway.

Service Much Appreciated.

THE general feeling is that the jit-
ney bus traffic is now perma nently es-
tablished and is much appreciated. ac-
cording to Mr. Newcomb. Better serv-
ice is expected as time goes on. Cars
manufactured especially for this work
will assist wonderfully in placing this
industry on a frmer basis. The public
feels, however, that the street car at
the present is more dependable, and
would not have the car company cease
operations Legislation is expected
soon which will place each motor car
under an indemnity bond, as a means
of making them responsible in case
of accident
