running-board. At other times, not- 
ably in the morning when the traffic 
is light, two or three cars will follow 
each other ina line. This is especi- 
ally noticeable on Sundays on the 
cars coming from Wenham down 
through North Beverly. It is not an 
exceptional thing either, but seems to 
be the regular rule. A change would 
seem to be in order. 
The Real Education. 
The graduation of another class 
from our high schools brings up again 
the much-discussed question, ‘Is the 
High School of today fulfilling its 
function?’”’ In other words is the 
A taste of summer! 
Thunder and lightning! 
Bathing suits; bath-houses; the 
surf ! 
The days grow shorter from now 
on. Yes; last Tuesday was the ‘be- 
sginning’’ of summer and the longest 
day in the year — fifteen hours and 
seventeen minutes. 
This year marks a change in the 
service at some of the leading hotels 
along the North Shore. No negro 
help will be employed this summer at 
any of the hotels. Young ladies will 
be employed in the dining rooms and 
young men will act as_bell-boys. 
While we do not object to the negro 
and have no race prejudice, we be- 
lieve this is a step in the right direc- 
tion. The attitude of the negro ser- 
vant in our summer hotels along the 
shore has become so overbearing that 
it has become a nuisance and we 
might almost say insulting. We wel- 
come the change as for the best in- 
terests of the North Shore. 
There seems to be something 
wrong in the management of the 
Boston & Northern street railway. 
Either it is wilful disregard of the 
rights of the public or it is incom- 
petency on the part of the manage- 
ment. There seems to be absolutely 
no method in the arrangement of the 
schedule. Ata time in the day when 
there is heavy traffic all along the line 
one small car will be seen going 
through the streets crowded to the 
High School, as is often said, giving 
too much time to the teaching of 
those branches which tend to pro- 
motea love of the beautiful in nature 
and the best things of life, to the ex- 
clusion of those other branches which 
give something to stand on in the 
strenuous struggle for existence in 
our modern industrial age ? 
The old timer and the hard-shell 
businessman declares that this is true. 
That the high school boy cannot 
meet the demands of modern business 
life and that the girl cannot make the 
home attractive; that her head is so 
full of fine thoughts that she cannot 
look after the ordinary duties of the 
household. 
For our own part we do not believe 
in that course advocated by many at 
the present time who demand in the 
high school only those studies which 
are practical, so-called ;these branches 
which will give an actual return in 
dollars and cents. 
lars are very handy things to have 
and add materially to the pleasure of 
life, but there is something higher. 
The lives of those who have centered 
their aims on the almighty dollar 
teach us that money is not all. To 
be sure education should not be all 
ideal and there must be the practical 
side and a lot of it. If the statement, 
so often heard, that the high school 
graduate of today does not know how 
to write an ordinary business letter in 
proper form is- true, there must be 
something decidedly wrong in the 
modern educational system, and a 
change should be made at once. 
Life is practical and demands a 
To be sure, dol- 
practical preparation, but the dollar 
should not rule and must not. The 
high school course must not have 
mercenary ends alone in view but 
the true function is to inculcate in the 
minds of the youth of today, in addi- 
tion to those things which aid in the 
struggle for existence, a knowledge of 
those which broaden the horizon of 
life; and should instill a Jove of the 
fine, the beautiful and the noble, 
which will make life more worth the 
living. 
Poverty is not the worst thing, but 
a life without scope, without horizon, 
with no appreciation of the best things 
in art, literature and in nature, whose 
one vision is that of the dollar sign, is 
surely to be pitied. 
ADVICE. 
[From the Cleveland Leader.] 
M3 
My dad, he likes to give advice—he says: 
‘* Steer clear of debts, 
And also you must leave alone the deadly 
cigarettes.” 
“Don’t drink,” he says, ‘‘and fight real shy 
of love affairs and such. 
And do not make each new found friend a 
subject for a touch. 
ge 
My dad is wise, I know he is; he speaks the 
truth, and yet, 
I know that famous authors smoke the 
wicked cigarette. 
They tell me, too, that every one who ever 
made things go, 
Can trace his start to money that somebody 
let him owe. 
Lil; 
The biggest men in Congress are the gentle- 
men who think 
That one can safely tamper with intoxicat- 
ing drink. 
Perhaps they’re bad examples, though— 
the fellows with the price, 
But then how do they ever win, against my 
dad’s advice? 
A man who expects nothing but ad- 
vice from his relatives is seldom dis- 
appointed. 
You can afford to believe that the 
office seeks the man if you don’t want 
the office.
