NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
Policemen and Their Qualifications. 
Bishop Lawrence gave a talk to some 
400 Boston policemen recently the senti- 
ments of which might be reprinted in 
these columns to good effect, suggests a 
correspondent, who encloses a clipping 
taken from a recent issue of the Boston 
Globe. 
Bishop Lawrence said: 
man yesterday who sail: ‘I see you are 
going to talk to the policemen. I won- 
der what kind of a crowd they are?’ 
And J said: ‘ Well, I think they are 
just like the rest of us. I have been 
looking around for angels for along time 
and I haven’t found any yet, and I guess 
the policemen are no different from the 
rest of humanity.’ So I want to talk to 
you not as men of the force, but as men 
just like the rest of us. 
** You have two qualifications which 
set you off in a-measure from the rest of 
the community. First you have, what 
isn’t ademand on the business man or 
the professional man—a physical test, a 
standard. That quality sets you apart 
from the great body of citizens, except 
in a few cases like soldiers. 
** Another qualification is physical 
courage. ‘[Lhat isnot necessary to the 
average man, to the lawyer, the doctor 
or the merchant. Itis a fine thing to 
belong to a body of men who are pos- 
sessed of physical courage. 
““There are a few other qualities 
which | wish to speak of. There is the 
quality of doing one’s work well; of be- 
ing efficient. ‘That is essential. 
‘© First a man should be straight; that 
he shall have the readiness and ability to 
think straight as well as act straight. It 
is the inability to think. straight that gets 
most people into trouble. You have 
been trained by experience to see things 
straight. You can be trusted to make a 
straight statement of facts.”’ 
Another quality which Bishop Law- 
rence considered of the utmost import- 
ance was readiness to learn. ‘“‘And I 
am not certain,’’ said he, “but it is the 
chief element. ‘There are lots of stupid 
people afraid to show their ignorance 
by asking questions. Readiness to learn 
is important in everything. “The capac- 
ity to learn is the only way to come on. 
Pres. Eliot said recently that he had been 
learning from students all his life. 
‘* Tt also means readiness to do more 
than the job calls for. I sympathize 
with the labor unions, but there is a great 
danger in setting an hour to begin work, 
then working eight hours, then chopping 
off. What if the school teacher should 
refuse to answer the question of a child 
after a certain moment. What if you, 
when off duty, were asked to do some- 
thing that came within your line of duty. 
What of me in my position? I hold 
that-nobody can do any job that’s worth 
doing unless he gives himself up to the 
job,’”’

It happened the otner day, when the 
alarm forthe fire at the Bullard cottage 
was sounded, that a member of the Bos- 
ton board of underwriters was in town 
and saw the department respond to the 
alarm. He afterwards made it a point 
to compliment Chief Hoare on the ef- 
ficiency of the department. He was 
highly pleased at the manner in which 
the department responded and the quick- 
ness in which the apparatus was on_ its 
way to the fire. Fora ‘‘call’’ depart- 
ment such as Manchester maintains, the 
service, he said, was one of the finest he 
had seen. And he spoke the truth, for 
Manchester has one of the finest fire de- 
partments for a town of its size in the 
county and when the high service water 
system is completed this summer, we 
might add the whole state. 
A meeting ‘of the Story High Scho Jl 
Alumni association will be held Tuesday 
evening, May 11th, at 7.30, at the 
home of Mrs. Lyman Floyd. 
Mr. Leveen, a tailor with shops in 
Danvers and Peabody, has hired one of 
A. S. Dow’s stores, and will conduct a 
tailor shop here this summer. 
John Lavin has hired for the summer 
the little bungalow owned by Thos. 
Sheehan, on Tappan street. Mr. Lavin 
has been one of the force of employees 
at the Essex County club for the past 10 
years. 
Local Odd Fellows are making plans 
to give the Grand Offers of the organi- 
zation a big reception when they pay their 
annual visit to Manchester on the third 
of June. A special committee was ap- 
pointed at the meeting of Magnolia ledge 
last night to arrange for the celebration, 
a feature of which may bea banquet in 
the town ball.. The committee will 
arrange to take the Grand Officers on a 
sight-seeing tour of the town and its sur- 
roundings, which will be at their best in 
June, after which there may be a recep- 
tion from 6 to 6.30, followed by a ban- 
quet at 6.30. At 8 o'clock all will ad- 
journ to Odd Fellows hall where the 
Second Degree is to be exemplified. 
The plans are are yet immature.

It was planned to put the floats at the’ 
Town Wharf overboard and in position 
today. The floats at Tuck’s Point were 
put overboard the first of the week. It 
is possible that a little more dredging will 
be done at Tuck’s Point this year before 
the dredging outfit departs. The dredg- 
er is making good progress at Masco- 
nomo Park, dredging the channel.
