WHAT THE DEAD MFA Ms.

We read in the cable dispatches of the thousands and thousands who are slain upon European DattIefields. We read without a tear, without qulVer of an eyelash We have become so hardened 60 death in war that we scarcely realize what 1t means.
 Every one of the hundreds of thousands of dead men upon Europe's battlefields means a hope for some body, hold on the future cut off
 Every one of these dead means the crippling of numbers of the living, the reduction of the. po,entiality of living members of society. When the son is killed the parent is cut of both a, the blossom and the root at once. They, too, die, those others, in re- ality. Thus the loss is multiplied many fold. the economic loss. the spiritual loss. Like the nipples of unseen air waves, the destruction of death is carried far afield, crlppling untold numbers. reducing the poten- tiality of all life Under the. gray skies over the battlefelds there must hover many ghosts above the silent dead For no matter how loud the guns and all the din of moderE bat ties a ghastiy pitiful silence rests on the faces of the dead. They lie there like Jumps of earth, crnmpled up, or

them also. All of which is right and proper to do, according to our ideas. However, we are not all of the same .uea, which is r.en. and proper, be- cause this would be a sorry world to live in if we were all of the same mind. This accounts for the employ CTS of labor bringing in outsiders to do their work, when it is said there are thousands of men waiting for a chance to work Manifestly, cOnsis- tency is one of many things that we should try to improve which would help some.-Exchange

A GLORIOUS END.

T0HE soldier tells Of that fierce
 charge
 In which his hero brother A died;
 The father stands with lifted
 head
 As if he saw the splendid ride: The sister hears with face grown pale
 And eyes tbnt brjm with tears Of pride:
 The mother does not heed the tale Sbe only knows that he has died She makes DC moan. she sheds no tears.
 She feels no thrill of prade or Joy. For. looking back across the years. She sees a little. little boy; She hears the lisping baby speech That begs for some beloved toy: She feels the clasp of little arms That tells q love without alloy. Thesr wOrds are but au idle tale Of war and battle. sword and gun. Yhe has not heard that ne was brave.
 She does not care what ne' has done:
 She only turns her nea,d aside, She has no thought for glory Won. She only knows that he has died Her son--her son-her arstborn

There is a big chance for improve
ment in the matter of handling the
crowds at the Hurley ball park, and
especially at last Sundays game was
this foreibly brought to mind. The
practice of allowing spectators to
crowd onto the diamond should be
done away with, and then there would
be no danger of such deplorable oc-
currence as last Sunday with the re-
sultant knock" at Hurley and the
ball team in particular such as ap-
peared in Mondays Ashland Press,
The charges of rowdyism, etc, etc.
which are frequently hurled at the
Hurley team and fans. are largely on
account of the corner-lot methods at

Old Corner Stone Uncovered.

A reminder Of early history in Hur-
ley was brought to light Thursday
forenoon when workmen engaged in
laying a new foundation and putting
i'm a basement under the Marble Hall
building removed the corner stone on
the west side of the building As is
the custom small tin box had been
placed In the stone and 1T the box had
been placed copies of the daily and
weekly papers published at that time,
"A number of coins and two photos.
The contents of the box, however,
were good deal the worse from rust
and decomposition, water having en-
tered the cavity containing the box.
The building WAS erected shortly af-
ter the famous FIRE of July ., 1887,
which destroyed almost the entire
village. Among the contents of the
hoN IN the stone was copy of the
Gogeoic Iron Tribune of the date of
July rs, 1857, and the Montreal River

but n was announced at the headquarters
OF the Board OF Education today thpt no

TEACHERS CRITICAL.
Teachers who have inspected schools
throughout the State declare that they have
never seen any other school where the
children are compelled TO use an alley as
playground They say that this deficiency
is particularly unfortunate at the washing
ton School. because many of the pupils are
either foreigners or the children OF foreign
parents.
Their impression OF American institu.
tions. gained from such educational sur
roundings, cannot make fo.' better citisen-
ship, It ia pointed out. An effort will be
made to interest the Civic Club, the Home
and School League and similar organiza-
tions in the movement to have tho Board
of Education purchase property to be used
as a playground or solve the problem in
some other way.

movement has been started in South
Philadelphia TO procure a playground for
the pupils Of the George washington Ele-
mentary School. 9Th street below Washing
ton avenue, who must play in an alley be-
cause the Board of Education has provided
no better recreation facilities.
Eighteen hundred boys and girls MEM
bers OF all grades, are obliged to content
themselves with this sort Of school yard" I"
According TO educators familiar with the
school code the space allotted to the chill
dren for play is actually below the require
ments of law
II is only because the Washington School
was built before the act became effective
and because the law Ia not retroactive that
the Board of Education cannot be com
PEELED TO provide playground The alley
which serves as a substitute is about 80
square feet In area. II lies between the
schoolhouse and private dwelling.
TWO RECEssES REQUIRED.
SO small is this space that Miss Katherine
T. Dever, the supervising principal, has been
forced TO order two recesses. She has
found that It is impossible to accommodate
all of the pupils In the alley at one time.
This condition has been the subject Of
protest for many years in South Phila-
delphia, but the movement has so far had
no material effect When Miss Margaret
T. Mcguire. an officer in the National
Education Association and principal of the
General George A. Mccall School, was head
of the Washington School she increased the
sentiment in the neighborhood in favor Of
playground.
The school itself is overcrowded. Twelve
part time" classes are in session each day
because the enrolment is too great for the
size of the building. The latter condition
will be relieved, however, when the Hay
School, Wharton above 9Th street, now in
course of reconstruction, Is rebuilt
II was at first believed that the Wash.
