OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.

A special dispatch from Springfield
to this newspaper says that boys and
girls from New Britain, Conn.,, carried
off the lions share of the prizes for
Junior achievement work at the East
ern States Exposition" There were
successes in millinery work and house.
hold linens, by the girls; in wood
work for the boys; the girls came to
the front in sewing decorations. Every
New Britain young person who COM
peted won a prize. The New Britain
Girl Scouts Drum Corps hade a hit
at the exposition and one very young
lady won a prize for individual filing
while another stood out in the other
ouasi-musical department of the or
ganization. New Brtain's fine show
ing was so good that the Springfield
press mentioned the fine quality OF
our children's work.
1t is all worth while--very much
worth while. The individual victories
are important and the team work is
important, but the most important
thing of all is the fact that children
of this city, competing against others
from other localities, showed skill
and care in what they did. The
tangible prizes are cherished, but the
excellence in work for which those
prizes stand is the real trophy OF
victory.
There are many pleasures in life;
there is a great deal of fun in llv-
ing. Usually it takes long time to
find out just what gives the greatest
pleasure just what brings the great
est satisfaction. Very early In girl
hood the pretty Noll has its inning,
Then comes the time when true sat
isfaction comes because the little
mother" learns to make dresses for
the doll. There is something tangible.
Later in life there are other dools, not
in tangible form that the child may
touch. but the bare possession of
which gives pleasure. Then comes
the satisfaction received by develop
mont achievement-use of those tai
ents which, at first, have given per-
sonal satisfaction only. And finally
there comes the realization that the
greatest happiness OF all comes with
real accomplishment, IN small things
and In great. This is satisfying hap
piness that gives the peace and joy
for which we are all working.

4 MUNICIPAL "pAwNsHop."

Paris has a municipal pawnshop,
organized under government statutes
to loan money on any and all valuable
articles of some monetary value.
Well, If patronizing the municipal
pawnshop" would become quite
proper in this country we might
see long lines of people waiting to be
attended to-. The stigma attached to
ones reputation which would come
from patronizing pawnshop keeps
many away, quite probably. And it is
a known fact that distressing period
when the bread Garner was out of
work, or some unexpected calamity
such as sickness, required unusual
expense. Many pathetic tale might
be written about the pawnshop, and
the person who loans the money at
big interest is not always the hard
hearted business man our lawmakers
would have him. Many charitable
act has been done by these men who
take, at times, articles hardly worth
storing away because of the evident
need of the person applying for a
loan.
There is no brief here held for the
pawnbroker, nor for the man or in
stitution which or who charges ex-
orbitant interest OF course a man
should order his life that he will have
money on hand always to meet en-
ergencies, say the persons who de-
nounce lending of all kinds.
But there are poor in the world.
There are men who work hard and
women who work hard who, at times,
ard utterly unable to buy the next
meal because of trouble, involving
expense, has come to them. 1t is this
situation that once moved a philan-
thropist,-the word used in the best
sense of the word-to give over a part
of his fortune to be used for the pur-
pose of making small loans. at legal
interest, to the man or woman who
had no security to pledge as collater-
al. No man was refused, but no man
who had borrowed and had not repaid
the sum, could borrow again. OF
cotlrse the philanthropist having
made his fortune himself and being
a good business man, knew that in
time the fund would be used up.
Many unworthy persons would take
advantage of it. OF course the plan
could not be financial success. But
the man did, for time, relieve the
suffering Of many self-respeCting
people who had borrowed and re-
s.unsd the loan with interest.

"MOsT VALUABLE" MAN.

There is phase of the fact that
that Ruth has been decided upon as
the most valuable player to his team,
which is important to everyone, be
he or she interested in baseball or not
For everyone is, or at least should
be. interested in success, material or
otherwise.
Babe Ruth has been, UP to this
year, an individual player. He was
extremely valuable when he was
knocking home runs and thus help
ing his team to win. When he was
not knocking out home runs he was
of little value because he was dis
gruntled and unhappy whether or not

NEW nnIrAlN PARKS.

Those who heard Chairman w, r.
Brooks. OF the park hoard. address
the common council the other eve
ming. were impressed by the impartial
devotion OF that board TO the interests
OF all the people OF the city. II Is
the boards desire TO take care Of The
people at both the North and South
ends OF the city, and when planning
for the Willow Brook park the mem
beers do not forget the North End
park. but in their arrangements are
seeking TO do justice 10 both.
An interesting feature OF Mr.
Brooks talk TO the common council
was the calm way he announced all
most casually that a member OF the
board had personally guaranteed any
deficit that might come temporarily
In order TO have certain necessary
work carried on. The chairman OF
the board evidently realized that such
offer was made not to seek praise for
the person making 1t or for the board.
but rather TO insure the carrying out
of plans that would benefit the people
of the city.
The incident is cited as an example
of the spirit that moves some of our
boards to give time, If not cash. to
unselfish consideration of the affairs
that come within their jurisdiction.
This offer, here referred to. is I'M
usual: but it is not unusual to find
members of boards and commissions
giving their time in a way that in
reality costs them money indirectly
time that they would otherwise give to
their own business to their own per-
sonal advantage.
The point is here raised to empha-
size not only the manner in which the
park board is acting with nothing in
view but greater benefits to all the
people of the city, those at the south
end and those living to the north, but
alsosto show that there is appreciation
of the good work of city commission
ers whose tasks are often thankless.
An intensifying of this spirit would
not fail to receive greater expressions
OF appreciation.
