FRIDAY, JULY 2. in News Building, ' 255 Licmral Highland Park. Illinois. ), - - EDITOR. BUSINESS MANAGER. THE HIGHLAND PARK NEWS. l i l WE heard a father giving d.rec~ tions for the vacation studies of his son. that he be put through a course of addition, subtraction, multiplica- tion and division every day, saying to the mother. “Every boy who adds large. long columns of figures quickâ€" ly and hccurately every time, and subtracts multiplies and divides in the same way, can always get a place in an office or store." And sure enough, there is always a place for' such lmye, lxmluse so few boys czm ‘ do that; espmrially in the matter of OUR Versatile neighbor Mrs. Lucy Allen. calls our attention to thefidea of sewing society women being gos- sips. She says it is not so in the society in her church and she don't think they do in the Baptist church; furthermore she thinks it’s awful wicked to scaudalize good ‘women in that way. So do we Sincerely hope they will give no more occasion for it. THE folly of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, had a line il- lustration in those haekmen who having engaged to work for the Ex- mour club, violated their agreement and began charging their passen- gers big lure up’to the grounds. The result was President” Alexander and S. M. Millard secured the hackmen for that day and now won‘t allow those people on the club grounds at all. Served them right. It may result in the club putting in its own line of hacks for the protection of its members and friends. The Nave did not quite catch Mr. Montgomery’s idea of a special call bell system for police in the night. It was to have a gong mounted on the central telphone building so that when anyone rings in for special police the night hello boy could touch the gong button and ring the police and then tell him where he was wanted and what for and then could mount his wheel and dash away on the sidewalks to the scene and thus surprise and arrest the mix crcants. That's a good scheme and about all the expense it would entail would be the ’gong and wire to con- nect. Let it be set up at once. adding long columns of figures quickly and accurately every time. J ust see how a bank official or com‘ patent bank clerk will do it. Hence this man wanted his son put through a rigid course of adding long col- umns eVery day._ It was a wise father who gave these' directions and the son will be Wise if. he obéyu them. i > ' A GOOD PLAN. Mrs. Sarah Flower, of the Chicago school board, makes a plea for man ual training in the public schools on the unique ground that the children do best in their studiek and make the most of themselves in after life who have smpething to. interest them in their many leisure hours The chil- (lieu of cultivated parents have books find papers and music, and so learns to read, etc., which takes up their spare time, while the children of other parents do not learn to read books'and papers out of school. and if they do read itislikely tobe chea'p trash and injurious to the child. She wants manual training. so the boys will have something to do out of school, and something they will love to do also. Of course the manual training fits them to earn a liveli- hood also. This kind of. teaching is coming and some of the senseless fads are going. ()ur friend at Glenmure is in the midst of his strawberry season. He reports a large crop of very fine fruit He picks berries measuring five inches in circumference and fin- or six of his berries fill a tumbler . Every one in the family from aim to the baby eats all he wants and so six quarts go daily. He sells more and gives away but few. He says anyone can have all the strawlmrries his family may need if only he do thevneeilful- work of spading. hoeing, Weeding and watering. By planting early and late varieties he has them through the season. We can say amen to all neighbor Moore's state ments.
