THE OFFICE BOY RETURNS

THE OFFICE BOY RETURNS
The boss was glad to see me, and he says
so very loud;
He sez my job was waitin' me, and how
they all was proud
I'd served my country overseas. The
help all grins at me
To see me standin' sheepish in my worn
and stained o. d.
"You start tomorrow" says my boss.
"By CAD, you're lookin' fiji"
And I looked about the Office and Gawd,
I hated it!
/ a0ho at the zero hour
Watched the daybreah bud and fower
YelloaO as a dafodiIs
Shivered i1a the mor7sin's chill;
Heard our heavies sloav debate
Turn to crashie' chants of hate; =
Heard the avor'd that set as free
Say aOas that guy really me?
The typewriters was clickin' same as
two long years ago;
The afternoon was draggin' on, so stupid
and so slow;
My same old desk was waitin' with the
same darn swivel chair
And the same old clerks was writin', and
| wished | wasn't there
The cashier he comes up to me and says,
"Tom, welcome home!"
81 thank yuh, sir" l says to him-and
wondered why I come
I a0ho matched the fam1c-shot smoke
Where the blastin' H. E. broke;
/ aVho qoith drippi,a knife
Fought to sare mig silly life;
a0ho IN the blindi7' fray
Chucked all thought and sense atuuy,
Charged the M. G.'s stobbin' flare
Nailed do.cn to office chair!

other form of decentralization by city, state
nation, it appears to me most fitting to
change the name of Central Park to "Roose-

the outdoor life.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Theodore Roosevelt was a New
Yorker by antecedents, birth, life and pub
lie service. If q monument exists to any
public man in the streets of the city there
should appear preeminent the figure of the
citys greatest son. Without entering into
the kind of memorial the ultimate national
tribute to Roosevelt should be, the obvious
and immediate provision is monument not
pretentious but absolutely worthy, which
shall stand where the boys and young man
hood of New York and the visitors from all
over the world shall gain inspiration for
personal and political manhood in the days
to come. There should at least be immedi-
ate steps taken for monument in bronze,
simple like the man himself, yet forceful as
he was. EDWARD F. STEVENS

Bids for state printing, required by

cost the state much more than at any
time since the civil war. Bids are now

concerns asking for the work than can
be recalled. The job printers have gone
out of the offices. due to refusal OF the
employers to recognize the union. and
the Offices are not now equipped for
getting the work out.

May Revise School Regulations.

Harris Hart, superintendent of pub
lie instruction. has come forward with
a plan to reorganiZe the school SyS-
tenn of the counties and cities. He
would abolish the district school board,
the country school board and the trus
tee electoral board, composing nearly
1000 officers, and substitute therefor
one board for each county and city to
do all the work that is now done by
the three. This would reduce the
number of officers to about one-third
the existing number. This idea will,
If carried out, commit to single
board all the management of the
schools instead of three.
