Justice Levy Sets Basis OF Pay Dock
ing" For Absence.
New ork.-Schoolteachers absent
from work In the past have been
"docked" one-twenty-f1fth Of q months
pay for each day lost. Justice Aaron
]. Levy Of the municipal court ruled
that the proper basis is to deduct 1855
of a years pay for each days absence.
His decision was returned In the case
Of Mary A. Broughton, teacher In
public school 1913. who lost eleven
days work because Of illness In Octo-
Der, 1915. The decision also holds the
Signing Of a receipt for pay ''in full'
Is no bar to action for recovery.
The battle Is an old one which the
teachers and principals have been
waging against the board Of education.
Years ago they were "docked" only
one-thirtieth of a months pay for each
day lost.
William G. Wilcox, president Of the
board, pointed out that under the Levy
ruling the teacher could be absent 100
days, a full school year, and still de
mand almost half q years pay.

Easy Jail Methods.

The greatest leniency Is shown to
criminals In New Zealand Thus In
one Jail at the end Of the South Is
land a prisoner may keep a race horse
and is permitted to transact business
concerning 1t. In the same jail well
behaved prisoners are allowed an after
noon out occasionally.
Prison authorities In New Zealand
are believers In the moral effects Of
open air. In one Of their institutions
the newly arrived misdemeanant Is al
lowed the choice Of living In Jail or
outside It, tents being erected at the
back. This system Of sending people
to jail by letting them live outside has,
however. its disadvantages. In one
case the prisoners" resenting harsh
treatment In the way Of lockout"
lifted up the "jail' and deposited 1t
far away In the bush.

At the age Of Twenty-Five Marie An

" discussed the question with her

be thirty. Her idea was to change her
manner Of dress, which inclined too
much to that Of extreme youth. In
consequence she should wear no more
flowers or feathers. The glorious

complained to the French ambassador
that she was already seven and TWEEN

Ruth Cruger, pretty high school girl,
was sought by the police. Leaving her
home, happy and contented, she was
swallowed up in the swirl of the great

GETTING THINGS DONE.

This is the time OF year for check
ing up. VS. lnow what we have done
and SO does the world about us. But
only we ourselves know what we have
dreamed of doing that We have not
doHe. And we know also that we are
poorer because we failed TO do the
things that We considered and then
dropped The work which We planned
and then never did would have made
us stronger. The kindly impulses
which we felt would have made us
better If we had translated them into
action. Said William James: Every
time resolve or a fine glow of feel
ing evaporates without bearing fruit
it is worse than chance lost: it works
buttons and emotions from taking the
normal path of discharge. There is no
more contemplate type of human
character than that of the nerveless
sentimentalist and dreamer who spends
his time in weltering sea of sensibil-
ity and emotion. but who never does
a many. concrete deed. One becomes
filled with emotions which habitually
pass without prompting to any deed
and so the inertly sentimental condi-
ton is kept UP. Let the expression be
the least thing in the world--speaking
geniaily to ones aunt. or giving up
ones place in a horse car. IL nothing
more heroic offers-but let 1t not fail
to take place. .--Milwaukee Journal.
