Change of Address. 
Subscribers who are leaving the 
shore will confer a great favor upon 
the proprietors of the Breeze if they 
will send in thetr winter address, etther 
to our Manchester or to our Beverly 
office, as soon as they know when they 
are to leave. 
This will greatly facilitate matters, 
and will insure a prompt continuation 
of the paper at your new address. 
School again. 
Back to the books. 
Vacation days are over. 
Schools are soon to re-open for 
another year. The teachers, re- 
freshed by their vacations spent at 
the shore or in the country, have 
returned ready for another year’s 
work. The pupils, rested and invig- 
orated by their ten weeks of rest, are 
also ready for their books again. 
With thorough and hearty co-opera- 
tion of teachers, pupils, committee 
and, last but by no means least, the 
parents, the year should be one of the 
most successful in the history of our 
schools. 
According to the recent report of 
the Beverly board of assessors, ward 
6 pays 444% of the taxes of Beverly, 
almost one-half. And yet, when the 
people of Beverly Farms want a play- 
ground or a few small repairs in the 
streets, they are unable to get it. An 
order is introduced before the city 
fathers and is immediately side- 
tracked, to make way for the opening 
up of several new streets, at the 
city’s expense, through private prop- 
erty. It would almost seem as if 
somebody was trying to kill the goose 
that lays the golden eggs. 
Side-Tracked, ‘ 
School will start very soon, and 
the boys and girls at Beverly Farms, 
as in other towns and cities, will enter 
upon their school work again. The 
summer vacation is almost over and 
they have not yet gotten the play- 
ground, the order for which was 
introduced the first of the summer. 
Like other orders for improvements 
about the Farms, this one was side- 
tracked and put into the hands of a 
committee, the members of which 
were unable to “get together.”’ The 
same method of side-tracking seems. 
to be in store for the movement to 
improve the condition of the roads at 
Beverly Farms. In fact, almost every 
order for improvements about those 
portions of the city that pay a large 
burden of the taxes seems to be 
shoved off somewhere on a siding, 
while the Uuited Shoe Machinery 
Company has the main line. 
Perhaps there is some good reason 
why all these improvements should 
goto Ryal Side at the expense of the 
other portions ot the city. If so, we, 
together with a great many others, 
would like to know about it. 
To Our Readers. 
At this time of the year, when so 
many of our readers are leaving the 
shore for the summer, it may not be 
amiss, perhaps, for us to speak a word 
concerning the BREEZE during the 
coming months. 
To begin with, the BREEZE is not a 
Summer paper. It is rather an a//- 
the-year-round paper. It is the only 
North Shore paper in existence. It 
is, therefore, the paper that everybody 
who lives on the North Shore, has 
ever lived here, or is in any way inter- 
ested in this picturesque locality, 
should read. 
If you have been a constant reader 
this summer you will want to be this 
winter. Why? 
First—Because the BREEZE is going 
to be a better paper this winter than 
it has been this summer. 
Secondly — Because the BREEZE 
will contain in every issue this winter, 
besides all the best news of Manches- 
ter, Beverly Farms, Magnolia and 
Beverly, special articles on matters of 
general interest to every North Shore 
admirer. There is no more historic 
spot in all New England. Many of 
our articles will be of a historical 
nature. A 
Thirdly — Because the BREEZE is 
the representative paper, ‘‘ devoted to 
the best interests of the  (Norem 
Shore.” 
In short, the BREEZE will continue 
throughout the winter months with 
the same policy it has endeavored to 
maintain since its start. It will con- 
tinue in its conservative manner of 
doling out the best news to be found 
on the North Shore.

Labor Day. 
On Monday, in all our great cities, 
the hosts of labor will turn out in 
parade. Factories and places of busi- 
ness will be closed for the day and 
the working man will make holiday. 
It is Labor’s day. 
As that great army of men parades 
the streets of our cities, how many of 
us, how many of them, realize the 
latent strength of that body. How 
many realize the influence that the 
vast army of organized workers may 
have for the industrial and commer- 
cial welfare or ruin of our nation? 
In this age of selfishness, in this 
time of hustle and push, we are apt to 
forget everything but ourselves, and 
to underestimate the weal or woe that 
may come to us as individuals and as 
a nation from this tremendous body of 
organized labor. 
The day after Labor day marks the 
opening of a great many of our schools 
and institutions of learning through- 
out the country. In this coincidence 
there may be some reason, certainly 
there is something to think about. It 
is this: that only through education 
and teaching can the masses be made 
self-reliant and able to cope with the 
intricate problems of modern indus- 
trial life. Education will enable the 
working man to see his path more 
clearly, will prevent his being made a 
tool in the hands of demagogues, and 
will better enable him to resist the 
encroachments of capital, thus aiding 
more than strikes and methods of
