, VACATION IS OVERSCHOOL BEGINS MONDAY 1 The Syracuse School will open I Monday, September 10. The prospects are that the enrollment will be as large, or larger, that! last year. However, there is a teaching force sufficently large to care for the number which will be in attendance, so that the enrollment in any room will, very likely, not exceed thirty-five. These are favorable conditions, and make it possible for the teachers to give a great deal of personal attention. The building has been thoroughly cleaned. The rooms which were not kalsomined last year were recently decorated. The addition to the playground has been graded, and is now being graveled. This furnish additional space for play, and ore vent some over-running of the streets at recess time.

The touring car shows a decided iimprovement having a more streamline effect.

SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review ts Thiags by the Editor As He Sees Them o* the Surface, S. Good evening folks, how’s everybody? Here’s hoping you're feeling hearty-like. We ain’t mad at nobody nor nothing, just mighty glad we’re living and that there are so many good folks everywhere. Gas is down a bit, yet we have used so much this summer we are wondering where we are goinfc to get the coin sot coal this winter. There is always away out for a guy that’s willing to work and there is always somebody who wants something done, so why worry. Have you got the children ready for school? Start them in" right and encourage them to make the best of-their opportunities. Be interested in their work >nce they have started. Why not have more literary md musical entertainments the ■oming fall and winter. Places vhere we can gather as a con£ nunity and enjoy ourselves ak ve did in days gone by. We have ust let the jazz and fox trot get he better of us because—well—ve. just let them. Honest-to-goodness folks don't ou think we’re lagging a bit, et’s wake up and do something n away worth while. An exchange bewails the passing of the old custom of “pro* nenading’* on pleasant evenings,•nd wishes it might be restored. Ve believe many Millersburg •eople will agree with him. Not x> long ago the summer evenings n every community found croups of people, nice people, drolling quietly along the treets, stopping to chat with >then groups, and combining ocial, intercourse, mild afterupper exercise and enjoyment f the best part of the day in ai ashion as inexpensive as it was onductive to health and neighorliness. But the champion he promenade points out, and itjj s a pity, that the fashion of tearng about in motor cars with ittle result but the exhaustion >f purse and nervous energy, has ompletely swamped the old cusom. ‘‘Use your legs,” he urges n his paper. “It is cheaper than, iding, a»d v more restful of mind nd body. And you’ll feel better oward ypur. neighbor after meetng hilh On tne sidewalk than you vill if you,throw dust and dirt ill over nim from your seat in an utoiwobile.” £ The general drift away from iweateo Child labor is umnistakible. But there are always backyard eddies. One of these i£ causing a stir n New Jdrifey. An agent bf the Board of Education in Jersey City, looking im ,o truancy, found that girls as young as 12 years were kept at home to sew for wages. One embroidered nightgowns. The contractor paid her a penny Apiece. That started something. The Authorities acted promptly. Prosecutions Were begun. And soon the State Department of Labor had its entife inspection force investigating tenement home work by children throughout the state. The prosecuted contractors have secured stay of proceedings until fait But when the courts resume, Jersey justice ought to put a quidc quietus on the embroidering of nightgowns by 12year old girls at a penny apiece for the benefit of contractors too greedy to hire mature workers at a living wage. The waist of the average-sized woman is altout thirty inches in circumference, and file length of the average-sized man’s arm is about the same. The adjustments of nature are just wonderful. In Chicago people are using their bath tubs for the manufacture of home brew. We have long felt that the people of Chicago would ultimately find use for their bath tubs. By the Way: The old town pump id on the blink again. Consequently Syracuse is dry! If things are not, coming your way, turn artund pnd travel in the other direction. You may meet them. *
