From Boston he will start for the South, traveling along the coast and up through the Mississippi Valley into Canada, finally sailing back to his native land from Vancouver. There is no endowment fund back of Tanaka, according to his own story, or rather that of his speaks English but little. He started out without funds, earning his money along the way by lecturing from place to place on his experiences.

In the United States he has spoken frequently at Young Christian Associations by the aid of an interpreter. There lie has taken collections with which to keep himself alive. Today he will speak at 62 Henley st, Charlestown, at 3 To remind himself of his past experiences he has made a collection of the coins of all Nations that would excite the envy of any numismatist.

Cram is chairman, has submitted to Mayor Curley for his endorsement, a report and plans for improving a bit of the old North two blocks bounded by Hanover, Charter, Henchman and Commercial widening Greenough lane. In the opinion of the hoard the plan and report are indicative of what might be accomplished In the way of improving conditions in that section of the city. From a block practically without light or ventilation would evolve a sanitary, healthful, wholesome dwelling place, at a cost which might reasonably be offset by the estimated increase in property values and revenue. The special block which the Planning Board selected is declared to be typical of the rear lot problem as it exisis throughout the North End. According to the estimates of board, the eight parcels included in the two blocks, known as 8 and 9, which have entrances in Uharter st, Vernon pi, Greenough lane and Commercial st.

have a total assessed valuation of $37 920 The estimate of betterments which logically should accrue to the city from the proposed widening of Greenough lane, is $42,903, and the net cost to the city for the completed Improvement is estimated at $7497. The report of the City Planning Board which is based upon estimates and studies made by George Gibbs Jr, as investigator, and H. L. Whitney, a landscape architect, says: 8 is separated from Block a narrow alley known as Greenough lane, which connects Charter st with Commercial st, the two in effect comprising one iarge block with large number of interior lots. The is surrounded on the west by st, known in the years 1 as Henchman's lane, and before that as Declination passage and Days alley; on the north by Commercial st; on the east bv Hanover st and on the south b.v Charter st.

These streets are all fairly adequate for frontage of residences. the west side of Greenough lane are five brick-front tenements, two are five stories and three are three stories high. At present these buildings receive good light and air, because the structures across the alley are low and a greater part of the land belonging to the Bennett heirs is still occupied by low wooden structures, with connecting wooden sheds. of Greertough lane there are in effect four rows of buildings with but one good street frontage, that on Hanover st. Two of these rows can be removed to provide frontage for the third.

The third row, now almost entirely shut in, includes several wooden structures two stories high, with entrances on Globe alley, belonging to the Ira Litchfield heirs, which are now fire hazards and can never be properly lighted. If the existing plan is retained; a three-story wooden dwelling house in the rear of 430 Hanover st, owned by JohnNutlle, which back? onto Nos. 2, 1 and 6 Vernon pi, and brick tenements belonging to Gertrude Levi, In the rear of 436-444 Hanover st. "If the property of the Bennett heirs, which covers 9916 square feet of land, should he built upon with permanent structures, four or five stories high, as large as the law allows, the light and air would be shut off front the surrounding houses and would doubtless cause the nearby property to run down in valuation. order to increase the valuation of the surrounding property and make dwellings with good light and air before any modern buildings are built the Bennett properties, together with Nos.

13 and 15 Greenough lane, covering 899 square feet, a part of No. 17 and Nos. 18 20 and 22 Oreeeenough lane and 440 Commercial st, should be taken by the city, and Greenough lane should be widened to make a good street, and toe surplus width can well be made a small public square. By removing the buildings specified (all old buildings) the property backing onto them will be opened up und given frontage on an open space, thereby greatly increasing the value of the property and giving good light and air. Such an opportunity would doubtless lead to the erection of better structures, lessen the fire hazards that now exist and remove a serious moral and vital SEES BY-PRODUCT DANGER IK SCH001S Exeter Teacher Addresses Masters' Club Here.

Sometimes Fears That Are Getting Away From "We sometimes get so interested in the by-product of the schools that the product gets very little declared Principal Lewis Perry of Exeter Academy, speaking yesterday before 100 or more teachers in a discussion of outside school activities at the annual meeting of the High School Club of Massachusetts at the Bellevue. "Athletics, for instance, are a splendid thing, and they help to turn out fine types of American said Principal Perry. I sometimes think this thing has gotten away from us, that we are running it into the ground to a certain extent. Sometimes we do a boy real harm we encourage him to get into this kind of activity, or dramatic activity, for example. all of you, I am somewhat worried about the boy who gets too much of these extra-curricula activities, but I am not so worried about him as I am about the boy who has nothing but curricula interests or has neither curricula or extra-curricula activities." Speaking along another line, Mr Perry- said that the phrase "getting by" is one of the moat fatal expressions that has eorrnj into the American vocabulary.

"We are false to our calling," he added, we boy to think that making good in school or anywhere else has nothing to do w-ith the things he is supposed to learn from his school lessons." "They speak repeatedly of making good citizens in school. But I feel somewhat as did the father who came to Exeter to see why his son was beit.g dropped. The faculty man in charge told the stern father that his son would surely make a great citizen, and the father replied: leave the citizen part of it to me. I'll attend to that. You put some mathematics into that Pres Elmer B.

Bryan of Colgate University talked of the philosophy of products and by-products in school and in life. He said that the by-product was often quite as Important as the product. An exposition of the system of university extension at Madison, Wis, was given by Pres Hermon U. Bumpus of Tufts College. He said that the system had grown enormously at the University of Wisconsin, from which institution he came to Tufts, and that 7000 people availed themselves of the correspondence and extension courses there last year.

Four men took up the work every woman, he said. The general welfare department of the work teaches many subjects relating to civic activities and public health, he said, and will eventually, he thinks, take up the touching of personal health by mail. Through other departments lectures and community discussions, debates and singing festivals are conducted throughout Wisconsin. Pres Bumpus made no reference to the desirability of such extension work in this State. James D.

Howlett of the Medford High Sejiool was elected president of the club. Ernest G. Hapgood of the Boston Latin School was elected vice president, and John W. Hutchins of the Malden High School was reelected secretary. RECALL NEW Association Meets and Hears of Webster.

The pressing need of a new ministration building for the Massachusetts General Hospital is set forth In the annual report of the institution both by the trustees and by Frederic A. Washburn, administrator. "The main entrance to the hospital," the latter, "is now at the end of the Bulfinch Building on Blossom st. It ia at the extreme end of the great hospital plant instead of In the middle, where it should bo. Patients and their friends and visitors to the hospital must go through the narrow, dark and crowded corridors of a building erected 100 years ago.

"There is no suitable waiting room, no proper reception room. The business offices are much overcrowded. It is impossible to do the work of the hospital administration in the way that, we would like to do It with the tools at our command. "A recent study of the work at the front office showed that on one day 1018 people passed the threshhokl of the admitting physician's office. The number on tiie next day was 940, The total of telephone calls received by the admitting physician for one week was 750, or a daily average of 107.
