upon being shown to the bath room
where Mr.. Lincoln was backing his
boots, using for the support of his
foot what looked like an empty soap
box .
Sir Stafford was surprised to find
the president thus engaged.
"Why, Mr.. President" he ex-
claimed. I'm England a gentleman
never blacks his own boots"
Lincoln vas not disturbed. He
piled his brush without raising his
head very far, but still looked cheer
fully at Sir Stafford as he asked:
Whose boots does he baick?"
The younger Sir Stafford North
cote laughed merrily, said Mr.. Hill,
in telling the story.
1t is a good story.
No man, by refusing to black his
own boots escapes the necessity of
some kind Of service. He may be
proud of the labor he escapes, but
something must take its place, if it
be nothing but the painfully hard
labor of killing time.
If a man does not perform some
useful labor, by what kind of harder
labor does he get through life?
Whose boots does he black?

they do in the comparatively snort time they
have in school, instead of wondering why they
do not learn more.
Then when one considers that much of the
time that the pupils are in school is taken UP
with drawing, singing, not TO mention the physi-
cal training, and snatches of sewing and cook
ing. one wonders still more how It Is that the
boys and girls who are turned out into the
world either to seek a higher education or to
earn a living. get along as well as they do.
We would not, for a minute, belittle the value
of the domestic science courses, but. after ALL
the children are sent to school primarily to Sc
cure the of a general education
There ought to be domestic science courses ior
those who want to learn domestic science, but
unless enough of 1t can be taught to really 90
some good. 1t is only time wasted that might
better b, devoted to what passes under the gem
eral term Of the three RS"
There is one class in our schools where the
study of English is actually side-tracked one
day q week for the purpose of taking up draw
ing. When we realize the woeful lack OF knowl-
edge of the use of English on the part OF the
average school graduate, such a condition Is
amazing. TO the average parent, business maj
or board OF examiners for the colleges a better
knowledge of English is far more necessary TO
the average boy or girl than to be able TO
outline an autumn leaf on a sheet of paper.
Retveen the holidays and enforced vacations
and the frills that have been introduced In
the public schools from year to year by state
boar Il and legislatures, the wonder is that the
finished product of our public schools are as
good as they are. Admitting that great progress
has been made in education generally II Is d
question whether or not we are progressing to
far, We build expensive school houses and then
proceed to pass laws to see how little the schooi
houses can be used for school purposes. more
and more the public high schools are peing
compared with the private secondary schools.
How can we expect the high school to hold It's
owns and produce as good results under the
present tendency?
MIGHT If not be a good idea to eliminate some
of the holidays and frills, and If the schools
must be used for the registration of voters and
for elections, to have registrations on Saturdays
or after 8 o'clock in the afternoon? At any
rate, the greatest need of the present day is to
give the children a genuine common school ed
ucation making them better fitted to take their
place in the world Of business or to go to COL
lege, rather than to have some smattering
knowledge of the first principles ABOUT no" u
draw a pretty flower or to be able to sing do
re-me' sweetly.
In other words, get the children in the schools
and keep them there for the full term without
Interruption; at the same time teach them first
that will be really useful to them IN
the future. Then, If there is time let the frills
be added. But there should be no such thing as
drawing for English, even for one
perior a week.

NOW e TO WORK

With the bids for the high school addluon
well within the appropriation there should be
10 delay in getting to work. 1t is to be regret
ted that a. whole hummer already has been lost.
Had the school commissioners and the alder
men been able to get together early IN the
spring, or at least by the time school closed the
addition would be we'll on toward completion by
this time.
It perhaps was necessary, however, to have
the actual conditions in the schools orought
home by the opening of the fall term to impress
the officials with the absolute necessity OF DONG
something to relieve the situation. With the
completion of this addition Perth Amboy Will
have one of the largest and best equipped high
schools in the state. 1t will aid greatly In up
holding the city's reputation in school matters.
As soon as possible work on the Hall avenue
school ought to be started. The crowded condl-
tion Of the schools in the fifth and sixth wards
warrant this addition to the educational equip
ment of the city. This proposed new building
will supply a civic center for the northern sec
ton Of the city which is greatly needed. Pro-
vision should be made for this building In any
future figuring of the city's finances.
