-* ? HIS NEW SUIT STOLEN BATHER TURNS SPRINTER Joseph Ryan, 17, found the limpid % water of the Bronx River an irresistible attraction yesterday afternoon so he hung his brand new suit on the noovac+ ViiMrnmr limK an/I nllintred in. When Joseph emerged a few minutes later the suit was missing. He put on his underwear and his - shoes while a friend went in search of a policeman. Patrolman keller<man of Simpson street station suggested that Joseph don a barrel. Joseph objected, and besides there was no barrel. Then the resourceful Kellerman marked a large figure "2" on the back and front of the upper part of Joseph's lingerie, rolled down his socks and told him to take the mid die of the road. Joseph had marathoned half of the way to his home at 887 Hunts j Point avenue, and was getting away, with it, when he met his friend re- j turning with another coat and trousers. The next time Joseph takes a dip in the river he is going to chain his wardrobe to a tree.

The school is not a social institution altogether; but is an ar_ rangement, by which the public attempts to give children needed train, ing?then? 1.

Therefore parents and teacher each should know what work can be done and what work is done by the other partner. 3. Some citizens do not send children to school. These should not be overlooked, since the school works for cont:nuance, improvement'' anfl growth of the community and it is nopotsnrv flint nil <*itiz<?ns shniilH he concerned in the work. II. As said before interest in work is the first thing we have to i work for. How c^p we secure this? 1. By informing the community of needs, work to be done must be known, equipment, difficulties, obstacles to each partner- must be known. The school can not succeed otherwise any more than any other business can, having two or more partners unless each one knows what the other is trying to do?and toegther come to a decision best for all concerned, after discussion of same. . . 2.

Let the teachers work together, stand together, and let it be known that thfey do?have no criticism?no knocking. ?Dixon. GIVES CORRECT STATEMENT OF SURRENDER To the Editor of The State: The recent death of Gen. Horace Porter at the advanced age of 85 has called to mind correspondence with] him some years ago with preference j to the surrender of Gen. Lee at Ap-i pomattax. Gen. Porter was" present j ait the surrender as a memlber of General Grant's staff, acting as his secretary. I wrote to him on February 6, 1916, asking, him to advise me definitely whether or not General Lee tendered his sword to General Grant. General Porter promptly replied, his letter being as follows: "New Yok, Feb. 15. 1916. "Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of the 6th, I would say that you are quite correct.* General Grant had no thought of asking General Lee for his sword, and the latter did not tender it. Yours truly, # Horace Porter." This unequvalent statement from a gentleman of General Porter's standing, present at the surrender,! oucht to settle +.his nnesfcirm" for all! time, and set at rest a popular myth. Francis H. Weston.

These showed 1,338 failures for the month a decrease of 7.4 per cent from the April aggregate and the smallest monthly total recorded since November, 1&20. * BELOW THE GARTER IN WASHINGTON All have spoken of tJie gracious manner in which the President and Mrs. Harding have received their guests and the genuine pleasure t^e distinguished hosts evidently derived from the presence of so many wellmeaning American citizens. A great deal has been written, of course, about what the women wore, and it is enotigh to say m general terms that they all wore something, and speaking generally, again looked re. markably well. What is written in a private letter received yesterday from Washington from one of the "official set" who was at tihe last, rvf f.Vip crarrte-n na'r+.iPR will be read with interest, and it is hoped with some degree of profit, by any of our dear friends who think they "are in the fashion" when they wear their frocks on a line with their garters. "We. noticed," writes this Jady correspondent, 'that all the dresses were worn long. We saV no gown on evidently respectable women shorter than ankle length. There were a few exceptions, of course; but one could tell without consulting the police records that tthe wearers were from the twilight zone or of a common clay. The great majority of the women present wore their dress, es ankle length."?Spartanburg Journal.
