HONOR CLAIMED FOR BOSTON
FIRST Public School in United States
Is Said to Have Been in
That City.

1t is probable that the beginning of
the American public school was in
Massachusetts. In 1885 the people of
Boston assembled in town meeting, re-
quested Philemon Purmont to become
schoolmaster and voted him 80 acres
OF land in part pay for his services
The school begun by Purmont later
became the Boston Latin school and
has had continuous existence to the
present time. Other settlements fol-
lowed Boston's example and within
the next ten years common schools
were established in all the New Eng
land settlements. In 1647 the gen.
eral court Of Massachusetts ordered
every town having so families to ap-
point teacher, whose wages were to
be paid by the parents of the children
he taught or by the inhabitants in
general. At the same time townships
having 100 families were required to
establish grammar school to fit
youth for college. The law establish
ing these two grades of schools laid
the foundation of the public school
system in the United States. Three
years later similar law was passed
in Connecticut, but Rhode Island
made no attempt to form a school
system until 1890.

Iron Ore in PhiIippines.

The finest unworked iron fields in
the world have been discovered in the
Philippines, according to a report from
government experts recently received
by the United States bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce. The
quantities of ore adjacent to good har-
bors, they state, will be sufficient to
assure the future of iron and steel
production in the United States for
generations.
Already land believed to contain
more than 500,0000OO tons has been
surveyed. Deposits on the island of
Mindanao are believed to be without
q rival. They contain 275,0O0,000 tons
close to good harbors and 100000 600
tons within easy transportation dis
lance of Dajkin bay, perhaps the best
natural harbor on the islands. Only
crude iron work in primitive smelters
is being carried on at present.-From

FOUNDER Of SUNDAY SCHOOL
Robert Ral!<es, to Whom Honor Is Gen,
orally Given, Said to Have
Borrowed the Idea.

Robert Raikes of Gloucester is often
set down as the founder of the Sunday
school, writes an English correspond
ent, but nothing is heard of Emmanuel
Twynning, the shepherd of Magpie
Bottom, Sheepscombe, Worcestershire.
from whom Raikes got his idea. Mag
pie Bottom is a beautiful crinkle at
the edge of the Sheepscombe, where
the lane departs down the valley, at last
reaching Worcestershire. The young
man must have been up here to take
a service. At any rate, as he went
by Maybe Bottom there was Shepherd
Emmanuel Twynning in that thyme
scented little paradise, with ring of
children round him, explaining perhaps
pastoral parallels of the New Tesla
ment. Master Bob Raikes stopped,
perhaps Joined in a hymn ana talked
to the shepherd, asking him how he
went on" when the weather was not
so favorable. He was told that on
wet days some handy cottage shell
tered the class, and that, come wet or
line, there was a class every Sunday.
During the walk back to Gloucester
the thought took root and, without
the thyme and the marjoram and the
lnconsequent chirruping of grasshop-
pers, Robert took up his shepherding
in the dark streets of the cathedral
city.

JUST CINE OF TWO THINGS
"Bill" Would Make Reputation, Or
There Would Be Bad Time
for Employer.

Bill Blythe was really gardener.
But he was generally all round
useful man, who had never been
known to say mo" when he had been
asked if he could do thing.
One day the chauffeur who usually
drove the motorcar in which Bill's EN-
ployer jOurneyed, was taken ill.,
Bills employer had very important
business engagements for that day,
and it was essential that he should be
driven in the car unless he was to
miss some of them.
so Bill was sent for and asked if he
would undertake to drive the car.
Bill had never driven a car before,
but he had helped the chauffeur to
wash the machine.
That was good enough for Bill. He
said:
Yes"
Remembering the little theory talks
he had had with the chauffeur Bill
managed to get the car round to the
front door, and his employer got in.
With some maneuvering the car was
driven out onto the main road, and
then, gritting his teeth, Bill threw the
clutch into top gear, and muttered:
Now to make reputation or kill
the boss"

BUILT THE FIRST sKYscRAPER
Whltelaw Reid's Structure That
Housed the Tribune Was the
Wonder of Its Day.

The skyscraper was undreamed Of
until Whitelaw Reid laid the corner
stone Of the Tribune building in 1874.
Inc Florentine campanile that he then
lifted into the air gave his contempt
rarfes what was, for them, a greater
sensation than their descendants have
received from Manhattan's tallest tow
ers. Voyagers coming up the bay
nalied 1t with establishment, little i'm
agining the formidable structures II
foreshadowed.
The skyline it broke was that of an
essentially fiat, low-lying city. In
Re1d's eyes New York was not then
precisely beautiful. So we may Judge
from the instructions he sent to Clar-
tence Cook in 1870, with a request for
series of architectural articles. "What
l want he wrote, sis first a crisp edi-
torlal on the prevailing lack of archi-
tectural taste in New York, the dreary
miles of browstone fronts, the worth
iessness of brownstone as material
Tor building, the mostrosities given us
by our wealthiest men"
Then article after article was to be
written, discussing the question of ar
chitecture in our cities generally, but
particularly in New York. The fright
ful example" was to be fearlessly pill
loried, and suggestions were to be
made.-From "The Life Of Whitelaw
Reid" by Royal Cortfssoz.

MADE FAMOUS BY THOREAU
Beautiful Walden Pond Chiefly Noted
az one-Time Home of the
Noted Philosopher.

For some two years and three
months Thoreau lived beside Walden
pond, and "Walden" is probably the
best known and characteristic Of his
works. At what time did the era of
snObbery in nomenclature begin in
Massachusetts and turn so many good
old ponds into lakes; Walden pond
was duly made Lake" Walden. It
is about mile south Of Concord and
must look as Thoreau used to see it,
remarks the New York Times.
The scenery Of Walden is on a hum
BILE scale, and, although very beauti-
full. does not approach to grandeur,
nor can it much concern one Who has
not long frequented 1t Of lived by It's
shore; yet this pond is SO remarkable
for its depth and purity as to, merit a
particular description. It is clear
and deep green well, half a mile l3ng
and a mile and three-quarters in cir
conference, and contains about 61h
acres; perennial spring in the midst
of pine and oak woods, without any
visible inlet or outlet except by the
clouds and evaporation. The surround
Ing hills rise abruptly from the water
to the height Of 40 to 80 feet, though
on the southeast and east they attain
to about $50 feet respectively within
quarter and third Of mile. They
are exclusively woodland.

Lucky Animals.

Animal mascots become ever more
and more popular. Dancers are wear.
ing little black pigs in effigy. The
fsherman's mascot is the petrol, the
omen Of good weather. The black
cat is almost universally considered
lucky, but this is specially so with
actors and actresses. Many Of 1.-THE
profession" would not dream of play
ing a first night through without a
small black cat charm of some sort
The airman's mascot is the eagle, and
a gardener will often keep for luck
a charm in the form of toad. People
with gray eyes should always choose
a monkey mascot. Brown eyes will
find the horse lucky animal, and
blue eyes should wear little bear
charm. A quaint colored butterfly is
the best luck-bringer for green-eyed
people. 1t is unlucky for fair-haired
people to wear any mascot in the form
of snake, and mouse charm will
only bring bad luck to anyone who Is
rash enough to wear it..

Riches In Old Stockings

TO amy sister-in-law, 1 bequeath
four old stockings which are under

In the will Of the famous old miser,
T9olam. "To my nephew, Tarlss, two
more old stockings; to Lieut.. John
Stone a blue stocking and my red
clock; to my. cousin, an old boot, and
a red flannel pocket; to Hammick, my
jug without handle" According tc
this anybody can write a will, for the
poorest of us have old stockings. In
the story of Tolam, however, Ham.
mick kicked over the jug and found
1t to be filed with gold pieces. The
Old stockings were crammed In a sim.

PIaythinas for Baby.

Many playthings can be made for
small children from pasteboard.
To make a wagon use a four-cor-
nered box to which pasteboard wheels
should be attached by wooden axles,
these latter put through the sides of
the box close to the bottom. Use
common pins or small nails to hold
the wheels on the axles. A small box
inside the wagon does for seat. Cut
out horse from pasteboard, stand
him in front of the wagon, then cut the
dasher down little way. Put Dob
bins tail into this and if his feet
touch level the rig is complete.

Men of Great Heiuht.

STORIES are common among the low
er civilized peoples, as well as among
savage tribes, to the effect that men
have lived who have measured Is feet
