HIRE AGED MEN TO
ACT AS OFFICE "5oYs"

NEW YORK, Dec. tl.--Nany big
firms here, suffering from the acrts
famine Of office boys. have starteS to
employ aged men in their place.
These are proving even more satisfae'
tory than the youngsters. They get
slightly higher rate of pay. While
many of them were thrown into the
great Industrial discaxd several years
ago. they now often do remarkably
more in proportion to their pay than
rhe old.time office boys.
The dearth of office Vys is caused
by prosperity. which send ' ncny boy
back from the office to ugh sohoo

| When the interview had reached this
point the professor offered to let ths
writer take copy OF the report fol
further reference. We have this CODY
before us now, and we agree with
Professor Jensen that he treated the
subject lin rather a philosophica,
way" But We disagree with the pro
fcssor in tcrming IL a mere report. Ir
our opinion It should receive the dis
tinCtion Of classic. and would space
permit we would gladly print it verbal
um. The following are extracts from;
some OF the sections OF it's separate
subjects:
The Conscious Philosophy
ef High School.
Sec. 2 The curriculum: Correct
| reasoning is primary. but reasoning ey.
plains only part of the man. There
are active inspirations that seem tC
arise out of a sixth sense and whici
take their color and tone from tho
ideals and inspirations OF the school
precepts borrowed from the soul OF
| the institution. The old controversy
Of Classical versus Practical Is deemed
| TO be fooli5hness for there is no sub.
ject morally practical which is not, at
the same time. classical I'm tho highest
sense. Wood.turning, blacksmithing
and clay modelling are kcenly related
TO Grecian Sculpture, II the student
are taught to build living spirit into
the concrete things they make from
wood and iron and clay. No school
can afford a teacher who regards the
pay check rs the chief reason for
teaching. For Identical moral reasons
no school can afford TO offer a subject
merely because there is the possibility
OF living to be gotten out OF the sub
jcct Life Ia bigger thing thaS n Iiv
Ing. A school can neglect neither the
classical nor the practical: II nust
unite both in every subject of it's cur
riculum
Sec. 2. Concentration: This is tn,
great neglected element in mos
schools. II is one of the indlsp nsiblc
clements for success. A school is no
merely detective bureau wh ere The
chief business of the teacher is to de
termine, by n series OF questions
whether or not the student has obeye,

These humble vehicles are now In such

avenues yesterday, and all cross streets
In the downtown sections were literally

As a rule 10 cents was asked from
each passenger. But the greed OF some
drivers cropped out late In the afternoon
when traffic was at high tide. Twenty
Ave cents was demanded for seat. and
II the prospective rider looked especially
PROSPEROUS, the tariff was doubled.
Many Indignant young women waited
until q cheaper vehicle appeared.
The number OF young women who
crowded Broadway, Fifth avenue and

greater yesterday than on TUESDAY. n
bevy of smartly gowned young women
who had vainly sought seats In passing
vehicles resorted to strategy which nm

There were twelve In the group. and

held up all traffic until their demands
