One of the most curious of the Imany sttange intstitutions of New Yol%k: City is Ia school estalbllishel not long ago on the last Side, where young mnll and boys are taught to become skilled harhers. In this school long rows of barber's apprentices are at work all clay throughout the course, sc'aping (iiligently at sundry stolid countcen an'ces piovided for "clinic material." When not. working in this capacity, the majority of the faces so used might be met on the flowery or In iindred regions, s:urmounlting the sioaching framl-e" typical of America's leisure class. .'ome are placid couin tOiatlces, bearing evidence of a \li (awber-like trust in potential good luck; others are sillen or troublei. with the hunted look that comes to the face of a man out of a job; but. each and every one is the better for a free shave and iairc'ut, even wlni awc\wardly done by unaccustomed hands. In order that. material for practive may be plcntiful and at hand the (chool is situated far down town. where trafllc of evel y ,ort is thickest and where the great. city's voice takes oin its deepest and most. insistent tone. \\ lilt the first drowsy growls of that ::uulltiple voice at dawn, the men be gin to gather and form In line at the 'antranCe to tCie building.

At 9 o'elo'k the sclol is opened and work begius. Men comve and go all day, and lie aspirants to barber craft work like heavet's, getting mocc l:ra(tice in one day than they would got, in a montl) un(der the old meth'ctd of apprenticeship.

Only three kinds of men are hai rcd-the unclean, the intoxicated and the men wh-]o have once stolen. begged or given any manner of trouble in the school. One offence is suffilient here.
