Shouldn't I be doing S s l e t h l n g for my country in the tvar?” These questions undoubtedly are in the minds of thousands of American boys. Upon Sie authcrily of the President, the Secretary of War. * e Secretary o the Navy, the Postmaster-General, other government officials, war leaders ?nd coUege presidents, The American Boy gives the answer m Its S^ptemto^^ ^ both—go back to school 1 Ijiat will be_ a ser- vice to your countr)-—the greatest you can give. Such counsel, given on such authority, will help to solve a problem that naturally has vexed not only boys but parents. “You want to know reasons; you want to be shown, says the magazine in an article based on the letters of a score of e m i n e n t ^ “THnk of the war first. This isn’t a war merely of numbers of soldiers and their sheer brute force. It’s a war of trained m e n -a war that is fought largely by mathematicians, skilled mechanics, electricians, aero- ‘ nauts, seamen, chemists, sanitation experts, surgeons, business men. Thousands and thousands of these educated leaders m the war have been killed or lost to the service through wounds; other thousands may be destroyed. Who will take their places if the war continues long. Certainly it will not be the boys who have dropped out of schoo “There’s another reason—a big one. The work of the world will go on after this war has ended. War or no war there must be skilled^ mechanics, electricians, aeronauts, seamen, chemists, sanitation experts, surgeons, business men. There will be fewer such after the That means there will be an unusually good opportunity for you to gam success and distinction in your chosen line of work. But you can t succeed, you can’t gain distinction, if you have been a ‘slacker’ m school. , . , • 4 . “The best reason for; your staying in school we haven t given yet. It is not only that you earn more money, when you are a man, if you stay in school; it is not only that you will have a better chance to suc ceed, as an edijfcated man, because so many educated rnen will have been lost. It is that, after this terrible war with its tragic destruction, the world will have to be rebuilt* That will be your job; that is, you must do a part of the job. Whkh part will it be? Will^ it be an important part because you are fitted by education to do an important part, or will you just drift along, doing what others tell you to^ do, a follower, if not a bungler? Going to school now, this year, and sticking through, are the first essentials. Don’t drop out. Don’t be a slacker. Don’t be a quitter. ‘Carry o n !’ Do it for your country’s sake.” An Advantage of Commission Government. contimaed inability of the local Board of Health to secure a A quorum for the''transaction of necessary business during the summer months is a strong argument for a commission form of gov ernment. With a commission form of government in force there is never a delay in the transaction of the city’s business due to a lack of a quorum on the part of some city board. During the summer months it is next to impossible to hold -a meeting of the Board of Health on account of the absence from the city of many o f its members. The failure of the Board to rneet often works considerable incon venience to-many of the merchants of the city who have sold goods to the board or its employees, and who are obliged to wait for several months for their money simply because the board was unable to audit the bills and authorize their payment. This condition does not happen infrequently. It has caused no small amount of unfavorable comment and in several instances merchants have been loath to honor the orders of the board. With the city’s busine/s in the hands of a commission this difficulty would be entirely overcome. The commissioner of health would give the orders and would also audit the bills. This is but one of the many advantages which would be secured to the city by the establishment of the commission form of government in Poughkeepsie. Prof. George C. Gow and family who had been spending a year in Europe, had arrived tat their home on College avenue. ■Mrs. T. P.

No longer does the small motor launch, the oat-boat or house-iboat wend its way down the hertior unohalleaged and ■•unmolested. One really appreci-' ates the fact that America is “in” af ter a water jaunt. 'Blvery craft, large or small, is held u p hy th e g o v e r n m e n t p a t r o l b o a t s a n d a s k e d fo r a n a c c o u n t of i'tself. Of course the l^ g e steamers are easily dlscerniWe'^and therefore not stopped. But wo© betide th© prlva^te yacht or craft Of any description that attempts to get hy. It may cruise along Xor miles, its occupants smiling at the thought of putting one over on Un cle Sam. It this juncture a busi ness like little patrol is liable to co m e a l o n g s id e . A m u r d e r o u s look ing mounted gun may be seen and from the heat a stentorian voice di rects that the craft put back and report to the mother ship. A n d the craft that tried to run the gauntlet goes back. Another stem reminder that the United States means business Is the buoys marking the position of the great steel chain extending across th9 harbor. The chain is designed to take care of any U - h o a t s th a t come this way. The hafibor is an unhealthy place for a 'becalmed sail boat. 'Twould be decidely unhealthy, the authorities will tell you, to al low your boat to bump into any floating object. Mines are no re specters of shl-ps. - “W ar's a nuisance,” is the way one fair sailor expressed it. BLACKLIST FOR MAKAUX.
