NEW YORK'S GARY SCHOOLS.
i oncers continue to. wrangle over the merits of their Garvized
schools. Mr. Wirt's plans already loom up aa one of the big issues' in the municipal campaign, and if the system is to continue in the metropolis it means Mayor Mitchel will have to be re-elected. There are varying views as to tiie efficacy of the Garyized schools, and one enthusiast now says New York has better Gary schools than Gary has herself. How a New Yorker views their operation is shown in the following letter to the editor of the world: "In your issue of July 30 you print a letter from a Mrs. Harris in answer to a letter of mine about the Gary schools which appeared previously in your columns. She asserts that 'every mother would love to have the Gary system as it is worked in the -west,' and then goes on to say that New' York is getting only a 'duplex system,' as. she terms it, which is 'injurious to the children because they have no school desks or wardrobe and have to carry their books and wraps with them and keep inarching every fifty minutes.' "Mrs. Harris cannot have kept closely in touch with the Gary plan as it is being adopted in our Xew York schools or she would know that in all Xew York Gary schools children have school desks as long as they can use them. As for carraving their books and wraps, this, is true in only a few of the schools where lockers have not yet been provided, and is only a temporary inconvenience. As for the frequent changing of classes, it is interesting to know what two of the principals who have taught longest in New York Gary schools have to Savon the subject. Both Mr. Patri of P. S. 45, the Bronx, and Mrs. Riner of P. S. S9, Brooklyn, assert that there is no more moving about under the Gary system than under the present system. "According to Mr. William P. McCarthy, assistant director of the division of duplicate schools of the department of education, 'New York has better Gary schools than Gary itself.' Mr. McCarthy makes this statement after returning from a trip to Gary, where he made a careful study of the schools there. "If Mrs. Harris really believes in the Gary plan as it works in Gary, surely it would he foolish for her to fiht the plan in New York. Why not use that energy in helping New York to get the real Gary plan. She can begin with P. S. 170, wher her children attend. That, is not yet a Gary school. "ALYSE GREGORY, Assistant Director."
MAKING DECISIONS. From the time we ere old enough to know right from wrong we are compelled to make decisions; to say "yes" to some things and "no" to others. In fact, all life consists in yielding to good impulses and resisting the bad. No man ever succeeded unless he learned this lesson. We can never form a character, acquire property, gain knowledge, provide for old age, take care of those dependent upon us, or get a job worth while until -we learn to make decisions. And the men who draw the big salaries are those who can pass judgment, and are willing to stand by the judgments they mako. It is the easiest thing in the world to take the line of !st resistance and to do the easy thing. If a man would acquire an education he must forego pleasure.' for a time. If he would get and keep a good job, he must deny himself indulgences that do not tend in the right direction. If he would save money he must make decision after decision and sick to them. How many of us resolve that we will save money and make a good start, but fall down, because we yield to the temptation to go-- to thi'se places or in that company where our resisting power will be weakened. Suppose we have a spare night. If we stay at home we know that we won't spend any money. If we go to the theater we will spend a certain amount; but if we go to the club, or out with the crowd, we are not certain where we will go, or what we will do, and being with the crowd we must do as the crowd does. The result is bound to be a breaking down of the resolution to save. The habit of consistently saying "no" can only be acquired when a man has an ambition, a goal, and an incentive. If he would own a home, acquire a business, get a good job, be a man among men, and have a master passion, the impetus will be with him steadily to spur him on and help him make the many little decisions that bring the result he desires. The bread line Is full of men who could not make decisions and stick to them; who played with temptations of various kinds until thy lost out; whose declining years must, be spent in doing the easy things because in other days they couldn't do the hard ones. You will never learn the secret of how men acquire money until you It-am the fine art of making decisions; and if you do not learn this lesson

Rookies in camp enjoying a quiet little game. Baseball may be th Sarnmics' chief diversion and pastime, but it isn't their only one. In case of wet gTounds or darkness they can leave the diamond and spend the time pleasantly at a little game of draw poker, which indeed in the photograph they have done.
for yourself, the world will decide for you, and the decision will doubtless be that you have no will power, are not strong ia keeping promises to yourself and therefore cannot be expected to be strong in keeping those to others, and relegate you to the ranks cf the "has beens," or the "never was," where you will drift along until the end. The saddest thing on the ocean is a drifting ship, and the saddest thing in life is the man who is going nowhere, and cares not how long it takes him to get there:
(By I nitrd Iree.) NEW YORK. Aug. 23 -Safeguard the girls" la the burden of scores of letters pojrlns; Into the national headquarters of the Young Women's Christian Association at New York City. The National Board of the Y. W. C. A. Is confronted with an immense responsibility for helping safeguard moral conditions In the neighborhood of training camps and for providing for the welfare of women In special Industries created by the unusual con
ditions of war.
A still further responsibility has been brought to them by cable from European countries asking for trained American women to "hel.p in the constructive programs for new life among women in Rusia. France and England. Through the National Board. th Y. W. C. A. has assembled on ,lts War Work Council a number of women known from ocean to ocean for their public spirited interest on all that affects a community. Requests have come from a large number of the centers near which troops are being quartered for experienced workers and secretaries to work with local Y. W. C- A.'s in organising the young women and girls of the various communities with a view to counteracting the very natural attraction which the uniform has for young girls. Admiration for uniforms is based on a deeper admiration for the manliness and courage cf those who are to go over to the front. The lure cf the khaki may be, made a summons to dignity in the girl and manliness in the soldier. At various training and concentration camps trained secretaries of the Y. W. C. A. are on thi spot gathering up all the resources of the community which CRi be made to serve the Interests of the young women and girls. There will bea number of cantonments in centers where no large city, exists. To these the V. AV. C. A. rtt giving special attention. Hostess houses, where women relatives and friends of the soldiers may have a homelike pia'-e to meet their soldier friends, a-e being built.
WE CAN LEARN FROM ENGLAND. Extracts from the report of the English Commission of Inquiry Into industrial unrest touch upon a few things that can be studied with profit in this country. Finding that food prices and war profiteering are the chief causes of unrest, the commission found a few other important reasons. One is that this government should not resort to secrecy in its dealings with ir-t r .blic. Another is that there should be care in heeding the ill-considered pleas cf prohibitionists to inflict sumptuary "dry" laws. The government can learn much from this: The government have all through been too much afraid of the public. They have not realized how sol d and unbroken is the determination to finish the war, and they seem to have been led by a few spasmodic outbreaks r.nd irresponsible utterances to the opin ion that there was a dangerous clement who might misuse any information it obtained. The result has been that the public hs been kept in the dark not only on military matters but on manors on which no necessity for secrecy existed. A great part of the unrest caused by the Military Service Act would have been avoided had the government been more open with the public. We have had witnesses before us who have emphasized the degree to which ministers and trade union leaders have lost the confidence of their followers. We believe this is largely du; to tne want of publicity. So much for our government. Now let the prohibitionists who have set uj their doctrine as being of more importance than the war consider this: The commission were frankly amazed at the strength cf the objections to the liquor restrictions. These came not only from men in the habit of drinking beer but from those who were life-Ion,; teetotalers and yet recognized the need of beer to those working on certain occupations. The question is threefold one of hours, price and scarcity. Of these the last is by far the most galling. Th; limitation of hours, though unpopular, has been accepted as a wa necessity. The increase) of price is resented chiefly because it is fell that brewers are making an undue profit; but the real grievance is the difficulty of obtaining the article. Some very instructive information, don't you think?
EVEN THAT DROPPED ON FLOOR HELPS. WHO says there isn't a silver lining to war taxes? When the new tobacco taxes comes' in, every man may explain to Friend Wife that the more he smokes, the more he supports his country. Milwaukee Journal.
MARY had a little lamb but she hasn't now. Her farmer daddy sold it and now he has $20 more in the bank.
ALTHOUGH the price of coal has gone down the patriotic landlords who raised the rent of flats because coal went up haven't lowered 'em.
