PUPILS HAVE QUIT
Father of Girl Declares
Long Hours Brought
Nervous Breakdown

High school pupils in Brooklyn are
withdrawing in greater numbers than
ever before. Although IL is asserted
by some that the strain of the part
time system which has been resorted
to in some schools is responsible, II. I.
Weed, acting principal of the Manual
Training High School, declared that
the demand for Office boys and the
high wages offered were the true
causes.
John j. Murphy, of 1910 Prospect
Avenue, Brooklyn, whose daughter
Margaret, fifteen years old, IS a pupil
in the Manual Training High. Senool'
emphatically asserted that the part
time system there had caused 4
nervous breakdown which she suffered
ten days ago and which still conhnes
her to her home.
Many parents were witndra"ine
their children, said Mr.. Murphy, as
their classes were frequently 40 ar
ranged that they had to be at schooi
at 3 a. m. and say until p. m: Inc
resulting strain on young minds was
cruel, he said.
He told of Ray Cairns, eighteen years
old. who lived at l22sA Prospect Ave
nue. and was graduated from Erasmus
Hall High School this month. Cairns
suddenly became insane on "Wednesday
and is in the Kings County Hospital
instead Of preparing TO enter tneo-
logical seminary. ,y -

Mr.. Murphy.
The Young mans family agreed that
il was overstudy. but they gave no mint
that long hours were the cause. iney
said that the youth was at school only
from Q to 3. and that he was naturally
OF studious disposition.
at is true that we were on part time
last wear" said Mr.. Weed. ut is also
true that there have been an unusual
number of Withdrawals from the school.
But think Mr. Murphy's statements
are exaggerated.
"WhiIe the Manual Training High
School is in session from TO when
the mart time, or double session system
is in operation, each session is com
plete in itself and there is no pupil
who has classes in both sessions. II
thew arrive at 8 o'clock they are
through at 1890.
"The Withdrawals, of which ] should
say there had been 200 or $50 in the
Manual Training High School, are due,
in my opinion, to the unprecedented
demand for office boys. Boys whose
wages would have been perhaps So a
wear ago can get now from $3.50 to
80. Most of those who leave for that
reason are first or second year pupils.
IAN annex of the Manual Training High
School will be opened next month and
will enable us to go back to the full
time system. which Of course is much
more satisfactory

WILCOX IGNORES
PERKINS, DEMAND
"OId Guard" Chuckles
Over Chairman'S Failure
TO Heed Moose Chief

"Old guard" Republicans are chuckling
over the failure of William R. Wilcox
TO head the protest and request Of
George W. Perkins and Everett Colby,
which, filed two weeks ago to-day, APP
parently has been pigeonholed by Mr..
Wilcox.
This request-protest asked Mr.. Will
cox to call a meeting of the Republican
National Committee to consider the ac-
tion of the executive committee, which
elected John T. Adams, of Iowa, vice
chairman, and created a subcommittee
which will have the entire voice In all
matters affecting finance, publicity and
expenses of the Republican party.
Mr.. Perkins and Mr.. Colby want the
national committee to head the protest
Of the Progressives against this double
barrelled act Of the executive commit
tee, and more than that, the Bull Moose
leaders want the Progressives repre-
scented on the executive committee so
that they will have a voice in the party
councils. They pointed out that this
voice was given them last fall when
their vote was wanted, and intimated
that If their demands-which are
backed up by Colonel Roosevelt and
Progressives of lesser renown-were
not granted they would again organ
ize a third party.
The reason the old guzrdsmen are
IL IL no fo kof har hol Haf thew
have won over Mr.. Wilcox to their
cause-which is anti-Perkins, anti
Colby, ti-Roosevelt-in fact, anti
everything except "old guard" Said
one of the cold guard" yesterday:
"Willcox is too wise. He will not
call a meeting of the national commit
tee. no matter what the Progressives,
either capital or small p progressives,
demand. Wilcox was taught just what
we could do, and he wisely respects our
power. You can rest assured that there
will be no meeting Of the national COM
mittee called"
When Mr.. Wilcox was asked last
night il he intended to call meeting
of the national committee he said:
"I have not a word 70 say on that
subject"
"The reports are that you have de-
eided not to call any meeting" Mr..
/ Wilcox was told
"Those reports do not emanste from
me" was the answer. 81 haven't had a
word TO say in days about it."
"If you intend TO call q meeting, as
Mr.. Perkins and Mr.. Colby suggested
two weeks ago you do, when are you
[ likely TO call one ~
81 really haven't a word to say"
Mr.. Wilcox would talk freely on
every topic but the report that he had
turned his back on the Bull Moose call.
The mention of that subject would
cause him TO relapse into his stereo-
| typed replies.

Brush this through faded, iifeiess locks and they become dark.
 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre. or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful. and thousands of women and men who value that even color. that beautiful dark shade of hair which Is so attractive. use only thie old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,' which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall Ing hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that besides beauti fully darkening the hair after few applications, it also brings back the gloss and 1ustre and gives 1t an ap- pearance of abundance.-Advertis ment,
