greeted as he rose. He began by calling on Irma Goudchaux and Caroline Louise Moeller to stand, and then announced that these girls had each won 94 per cent in clasa standing. After introducing Dr. Waldo H. Richardson, of the Executive Committee, who begged to be exeused from making a speech, President Hunter turned to the school and commended pupils and teachers for the result of their year of work.
He noticed their thoughts revolved about a said he central pivot, and that patriotism and history seemed their first thought. He said he perceived that in thus directing and having their thoughts directed they were profiting by what may be called unconscious teaching, and that he had great faith in such teaching and learning. "History, said President Hunter, "teaches better than anything else. The ethics of patriotism democracy are to be found by a study of history. If I were asked what study would be of the greatest ald in forming a liberal, tolerant character of integrity in the performance of duties, I should say history, which is philosophy by extaught ample.
Therefore tead history. "Geography and history cultivate the imagination more than any other elementary study. I am sorry to find they are 80 little taught in the public schools. I was surprised to learn that history has not been given in some of the classes for two years, and geography in three. I believe a pupil should take geography as soon as he or she can read, for it cultivates the power to make President Hunter spoke warmly of what the school owed to its teachers.

ALGER OUT OF OFFICE SHE IS NO LONGER SUPERVISOR OF TRUANCY. A MAN APPOINTED IN HER PLACE BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION--HISTORY OF HER WORK IN THE SCHOOL. After an exceptionally stormy debate yesterday afternoon, at regular of the Board of Education, the office of Supervisor of Truancy, 80 admirably filled during the last fourteen months by Mrs. M. E.
R. Alger, manager of the Truant School, No. 215 East was awarded to Valentine Collins, at a salary of $2,000. In recommending Mr. Collins for this place Miles O'Brien, chairman of the Co Committee on Special Schools, declared that more than ordinary quallfications were needed for this office.
"The incumbent," he said, "must have A kindly heart, a certain knowledge of the work to be done, patient disposition and a realization that he is a doing more than work for pay." "All this and more," whispered a woman pregent, "has Mrs. Alger done, but that didn't keep her in her place." While no fault has been found with Mrs. Alger as Acting Supervisor of Truancy, the matter, in a nutshell, was expressed by Superintendent Jasper, who emphatically said: will not ask a woman to be at the head of nineteen men." WHAT MRS. ALGER THINKS. When seen after the meeting Mrs.
Alger declared that she felt the disappoinment keenly. "I did not seek the office in the first place," she said, "but after my promotion by Superintendent Jasper I gave my whole self to the work, taking no vacation. Not a complaint has ever come to mne in any way, and I can but feel that political reasons are the sole cause of my retirement, which will open places for two men at large salaries." Mrs. Alger was promoted by Superintendent Jasper to the position of supervisor in May, 1895, when the man then in charge was dismissed for general inefficiency. At that time the house, from a sanitary point of view.
was considered to be unfit for occupancy, and the best efforts of the faithful teachers were rendered useless by the lax management of the boys out of school hours, A short time after Mrs. Alger took the work in hand the school was given a thorough cleansing and disinfecting, baths were fitted up, toilet necessittes were provided, useless help was dispensed with, and trustworthy people secured to look after the welfare of the children. The city was carefully districted, and the discipline of the boys out of school hours was thoroughly looked after. In accordance with the provisions of the Compulsory Education act, twenty attendant officers stand ready to investigate every case of truancy. As organized by Mrs.
Alger, one of these officers, having investigated a case reported to him by the principal of a school, by the police, or as found in the streets without the "Boy's Permit" card, brings the delinquent to the office of the Truant School. A summons is then sent to a parent or legal guardian cf the boy asking him to attend and make an explanation as to the cause of the continued stayfrom school. This hearing is private. If ing away the truant is penitent and makes promise of amendment he is paroled, and receives a card which must be signed daily by the parent and teacher, and which contains the record of school attendance conduct. He must also report at stated interand vals at the Truant School until continued reports of "excellence" permit his being restored to school citizenship without surveillance.
If, on the other hand, the reports are unfavorable as to conduct, and the boy proves incorrigible, he is committed to the Truant School, where he must remain for the balance of the school year, or until he himself worthy of reinstatement. The first proves thing that happens to the small offender after he sAys goodby to father, mother or guardian who has brought him is a thorough bath from head to foot; then his hair is cut close, a suit of clean blue jeans furnished him, and his own clothing, usually reeking with dirt, is bundled up and sent home. From the first the small prisoner is made to understand that he is undergoing a deserved punishment, yet he is not treated as a criminal. While the superintendent's method is summary dealing with wrongdoing, encouragement and commendation reward the slightest attempt toward goodness. Mrs.
Alger has a warm heart for her MRS. M. E. R. ALGER.

There are still some thirty-five boys in school, most of whom give every sign of rethe pentance and reformation.
The probation cards Mrs. Alger regards as of untold value. "Out of the total number of boys," she said, "to whom probation cards were Issued, at least half would otherwise have been committed to the other institutions. They were all Truant School or fit subjects, according to the statement of the principals and attendant officers, yet by following them up by means of these cards all have been school. in a great many cases 8 two weeks' kept in course, probation the card use of has these cards requires a little time cured the boy of truancy.

A CHILD'S THOUGHT OF GOD. They say that God lives very high, But if you look above the pines You cannot see our God; and why? And if you dig down in the mines You never see him in the gold, Though from him all that's glory shines. God is 90 good, he wears a fold Of heaven and earth across his face, Like gecrets kept, or love, untold. But still I feel that his embrace made, down by thrills through all things Slides Through sight and sound every place. As if my tender mother laid On my shut lids her kisses' pressure, Half waking me at night, and said, dark, dear "Who kisses you through the guesser?" -(Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

INDIVIDUAL CO-OPERATION IN CHARITABLE WORK DISCUSSED. About fifty were in attendance yesterday morning at the meeting held by the class in practical philanthropy in the United Charities Building, Twenty-second-st. and Fourth-ave. Philip W. Ayers, assistant secretary of the Charity Organization Society, presided, and Miss Mary Richmond, general secretary of the Charity Organization of Baltimore, gave a practical talk on "Cooperation in Charitable Work." Miss Richmond brought out a new thought in showing that true co-operation in charitable work is not the working together of organization, but of individuals.
To illustrate this point, the speaker made the following classification of forces, in the order of influence, with which the charity worker can profitably co-operate: Family Forces--Capacity of each member for affection, for training, for endeavor and for social development. Personal Forces -Kindred, friends. Neighborhood Forces -Neighbors, landlords, doctor. tradesmen (Including family's with), former and present employers, clergyman, Sunday school teacher, fellow church members, trade fraternal and benefit societies, political and union. social clubs, thrift agencies (banks, stamp savings, building and Joan Associations, libraries, local educational and social opportunities, such as clubs, gymnasia and classes.
Civic Forces -Policemen, school teachers, truant officers. court and probation officers, health department, street-cleaning department, parks, baths, reformatories, prisons. Private Charitable Forces-Charity organization society, church of denomination to which societies, family be. naturally belongs, church circles and and general nevolent individuals, National. special relief societies, charitable employment agencies and workrooms, fresh-air society, society for protection of children, children's aid society.
children's homes, district nurses, diet kitchens, dispensaries, hospitals, homes for adults, society for the suppression of vice, prisoners' aid society, special etc. hospiPublic Forces -General and tals, dispensaries, almshouse, outdoor poor department. Co-operation 19 facilitated chiefly, said Miss Richmond, by the treatment of individual cases, by a definite division of work, by a systematic exchange of information and by union to secure reform legislation, but complete co-operation must be based on certain general principles held in With patience and work, the ultimate common. result will be obtained -the restoration of the waste places of the earth.
