At "A regular meeting of the Council
or the Republic it can be seen how these
scraps Of paper" work out.
II 1t is the girls republic, twenty little
girls will be sitting around table. At
'ne mead OF the table is the president
girl OF about fifteen years of age-with
a small pile of notes before her. The
roll IS called, and all members but two
are present. The minutes of the preced-
ing meeting are read and accepted with
solemnity, order and intensity of inter
est which practised politicians MIGHT
we'll envy.
Each member is addressed by her

Inc president, in clear, unhesitatnr
words, asks for communications.
Inc secretary reads from her notes
that the superintendent has refused q

members OF the upper classes of high

Education Is
Not Neglected
Inc reports of the various officers are

a motion is made, seconded and carried,
that the reports be accepted.

next week.
There follows a discussion relative to
new manner of mending the books with
certain KIND of new paste. She finally
gives the ratings of each cottage for the
week as to the condition of the books.
Similar reports come from each officer.
The education of these boys and girls
does not suffer from the facs that they

their civic duties so seriously. This jew

children from high school at the age of
sixteen. Besides this academic education
each child is sent out in the world with
vocational training for whatever work
suits his individual inclination, received

Even after they have educated their
charges at Pleasantvlle and taught them

BY ALISSA FRANC

n l. YOU happen to be In tho beautiful
country around pleasantvile, N. Y,
you will see on hill twenty little
cottages with their red roofs shining
gaily in the sun. And you will see a
large placard which tells you that here
is "The Orphan Asylum Of the Hebrew
Sheltering Guardian Society,"" If you
venture inside the gates which inclose
the large expanse of field surrounding
the red rooted cottages, you will come
across many boys and girls as gay as
the little red roofs which never fail to
catch your eye.
And, as you are about to visit
an institution" you will be afraid that
you have broken some rule, and you will
timidly ask, "When are your visiting
hours7"
A puzzled expression will come over
the children's faces, and they will politely
ask you to repeat your question, which
you do, more explicitly. A radiant smile
will then overspread the faces of the
group before you, and they will say,
"Why, you can come just whenever you
like; we are always glad to see people
here"
Then you will search in vain for an
official keeping order. And you look back
at the cottages of exquisite design, and
you will think there must be some mis-
take: this surely cannot be a "charity in
stitution for destitute children"

One Job Apiece
BNt Not Two!

One reason so many marriages in
which both husband and wife work out
side the home run upon the shoals is
that the wife is trying to carry on two
professions at once. 1t can't be done
successfuly-either one or the other
work is bound to suffer. No man likes TO
come home and wash the dishes or cook
the meals after hard days work. And
no woman should be expected to.
Men have shown a great tendency to
appreciate the home without working in
it, and doubt not that women will be
able to obtain the same satisfaction.
Clubs have proved very popular insti-
tutions with both sexes.

l DENNY MAGEE, track coach at J Bowdoiu College, but a '. NJ c.
 athletic director in France during inc recent war, comes forward with a rather startling statement today. ohnny claims that the "Y' athletic oirectors or secretaries who were sent 10 France were a big joke in the
 andling of athletics and physical training for soldiers.
 We will let Magee tell his own arm:
 "1he more I think of how the A. --. U. allowed the Y. M. c. A. 10 butt i and run athletics over in France. the more realize how badly the A l. U. needs a real man at it's head. was one of those "Y" athletic direc- DTS who was sent to France, but I as nothing but fgure-head. Many Cf the soldiers took no stock in what J had to say.

HAND
 BALL MEET HERE
Business Mems Teams from Bridgeport and New Ha-
 ven Play Tomorrow.

The Business Mems yo1leybau team of New Haven will invade this city to- morrow afternoon to participate in the state championship tournament. Members of the Elm City aggregation feel confident that they have the strongest team, and expect to bring home the cup without a great deal of trouble. Greenwich however, may furnish stiff oposition, inasmuch as the down-staters have defeated prac- ticalIy every team in the state with the exception of New Haven.
 Bridgeport and Waterbury, as usual, will enter strong teams, but neither is figured speedy enough to defeat either New Haven or Greenwich. Frank Goldman, chairman of the physical activities committee of the Y. M. c. A., last night announced the New Haven lineup as follows: R. E. Herman, pr. E. B. Smiley Royal F. Leighton, Thomas Maher, D. '. Yerxa, Elmer H. Wheeler, Frank F Goldman. E. B. Seeley and Edward F. Coogan. Phy- sical Director c. e. Bleecker will ac- company the New Haven team.

II4Olef WhO jumped into the tlIneuSLL several years ago by taking a severe lacing at the hands of Senator Lodge in Washington, has another bug. He is trying to organize a league in Mas sachusetts. It was Winn, under the name of Al Bannwart who promoted the disastrous Colonial League for the Federal League in New England.
 The Sunday baseball bill comes up before the Rhode Island Senate today and it's passage is doubtful Governor Beeckman already has announced that he will not sign the measure. He admits that he personally favors Sun day ball, but feels that there is no demand for it. More cheap Rhode Island machine politics.
 The Jersey City baseball fans will not be able to attend games at the Harrison Federal League park this season as the New York Giants and Yankees have refused to give the Slzeeters permission to use that field. The majors are evidently getting back at the Skeets for their attitude to- ward the Giants and Tanks playing at Harrison on Sundays last sea- son.
 
 Twenty three players are training with the Boston Braves at Columbia. Ga. Magnate Grant, new owner of the Braves, will leave Boston today to join his team in the South. He then return to New York to look after his theatrical interests.
 TH1ar-J- Tr nF @ Bridgeport club today contradicted q story published in a Hartford paper yesterday that he had given up hope of winning back Alex Ferguson, the hurler who is now in the South with the Yankee pitching force. Lane said that he is waiting the decision of the National Commission, which is re- considering the case.
 The Giants left New York last night for Gainesville, Fla, where they will start training next Monday morning. The team will not reach Florida until tomorrow afternoon. Manager AcGraw went on ahead last Tuesday and the team will find every thing in readiness when 1t reaches there.
 Word that Del Pratt will sign with the Yankees seems to have injected a new lease of life in the New York Americans camp, according to a New York report just received. Del will reach New York tomorrow morning and leave with the rest of the Tanks who have been invited to go South.
 The Chicago Cubs will arrive at Pasadena, Cal, tonight, according to an Associated Press despatch from Los Angeles today. The team touch ed that city this morning. The team, however, will not start training until the first of next week.
 The Minneapolis club of the Amer ican Association is another minor league club that is dissatisfied with the National Commission. The N. t recently awarded Catcher A. J. Sen ner to the Cubs. The Minneapolis club claims that backstop belongs in that city.

| T WOULD bo far better that tke ! bill die in the coI1lnlittee's hands t lan be reported on the floor of the / ssernbry for the measure is the II lost ridiculous yet drawn up for the supervision of the manly art. What 9le chap who drew the bill was id mixing about when he made it out { more than we can understand. One thing Is certain: he has no idea of Y hat the public wants, And his ! nowledge of boxing. too, is evidently Very limited.
 The measure is so absurd that we . il not attempt to go into analytic etaiIs, But the feature that stands ut as most absurd is that which V ould prevent and make it unlawful for a newspaper or magazine to give e verdict on a fight-let alone ref C rec. The bill suggests that the boys go into the ring swap punches for ve or six rounds and then step our. Why a. lad could probably draw up a better bill.
 And who is this gentleman who v ould want to muzzle the press? Ref C -ees may be prevented from ren- ering their opinion, but the press - . everl It's about as logic as askint a dramatic critic to attend a Broad V ay first night with the privilege to C 'iticize in print denied him.
