Regal quarter-sizes always insure a "perfect fit while the ordi nary half-sizes of other shoe3 force you to be content with the How New York City advanced tbe cause nearest fit you can get. How often have you had to choose between a half-size that was a little too tight and a full size that was a little too loose In Regal Shoes you can obtain the one-quarter or three-quarter size in-between which fits you exactly. Regals are the 'only shoes in the -of education by Its school system, which he declared to be one of tbe best In tho world, was told by Gustave Straubenmuller, assistant city superintendent of the Board of Education, In a lecture on "The Work of the Evening Schools." delivered last night before tbe Joint meeting ot the New York and Long Island Library lubs, In the assembly room, of the Packer Institute.

In part, Mr. Straubenmuller said: "New York City Is spending $27,000,000 each year on Us public school system. The buildings are well equipped and are among the best in the world for the purpose for which they were erected. Thoy cost a great deal of money There are several schools In Manhattan that cost over $2,000,000 each. It is simple to see -that It Is not to the advantage of the What Happens at That Great world made in quarter-sizes, and no shoe3 made to your order can give you a better fit Among the 243 new Regal models for this season there is a style to please every taste and every style is a correct repro duction of an expensive made-to-order shoe.

Regal Shoes are sold directly from the Regal factories to you, with all intermediate profits eliminated. Nowhere else in the world can you obtain equal shoe value at anywhere near Regal prices.

Specials, $4 and $8 FOE MIEM amp wMra plants to stand Idle, and the question arises how to make the best use of them. It Is seen immediately that they must be free not to the children alone, but to pupils of all ages.

"Of all the children that start In school, only 5 per cent, reach, the high school, and only 3 per cent, of these graduate from high school. That Is to say, more than 10.000,000 school children leave the schools of the United States each year to go to work. Now, there are $2,000,000 bread winners in the country, and the question arises what can we do in the lines of education that will prore of tbe greatest advantage to these children and to these wage-earners. Our brain workers are well guarded by the existing system of education, leading them from the kindergarten to the college. Yet the brain workers and the hand workers enjoy the same political liberty, and should be given equal opportunity.

When public sehools were established a number of the taxpayers cried out that they did not want to pay for the education of their neighbors' children. Yet, all this Is past now, and we have reached the era of the night school, where all Bhall have an opportunity to develop themselves.

Their object is to train the artisan the better to follow out his life's twork. The fact Is that this country Is negligent of teaching Its trades, and a boy to learn a craft has to steal It, while working at some petty Job.

The night school tries to eliminate this unfortunate lack.

The Una of march was a long ons, and (unsweetened) Mr. Straubenmuller then caused a number of pictures to be thrown upon the screen, Indicating the pupils in the various night schools at their work.

Classes were shown in drawing, dressmaking, typewriting, oratory and other subjects. Ths class In oratory was posed with such dramatic gusto that tbe audience was moved to laughter, and one woman declared that she "would Just love to go to night school, too." After the series of classroom pictures, Mr. Straubenmuller explained the advantages of the sohools to ths poor children In the summer time, nd illustrations were shown of playgrounds, reading rooms and gardens for 1 ths use of the poor children of the city. In explaining this the speaker said: "Only 2 par cent, of the children In the go to the country In the summer time. The 98 per cent, that stay hero hare to face distressing conditions.

They are driven hither and thither whets they go out on the streets by policemen and storekeepers, until they have actually forgotten how to play.

On arriving at the Lyceum the reception committee, under the leadership of Chief Ryan, escorted the guests ot honor to seats on the platform, and in a very short time the hall was crowded to the doors with enthusiastic firemen. F.x-Chief Ryan opened the meeting and introduced Magistrate Joseph Fitch as chairman. Judge Fitch made a felicitous address in which he paid a warm tribute to the volunteer firemen and their work. In closing he spoke feelingly of tho late Joel L. BoRrdman, who died on Tuesday, just as the volunteers were going out of office.

Mr. Boardman was the only surviving member of Mutual Engine Company, and the speaker said that It was significant and touching that this veteran fireman should have died on that day. Ex-Assemblyman Cyrus B. Gale was the next speaker. He Is known as the father of tbe "Gale bill," and bis remarks were based mainly on tbat measure, which gave the volunteer firemen a fixed sum annually for expenses.

Municipal Court Justice William Ras-qiiln was Introduced as tbe organizer of Murray Hill Hose Company, the "baby company" of tha Flushing Department. Judge Rasquln said that it will be years before the volunteers will forget that they are no longer 00 duty. Ho then called Chief Ryan and the veteran John J.

pany's Independent Stores from Central Islip. L. December 4 There are sad hearts among both patients and staff at the big insane a3ylum here today, for Dora Keppler, for over twenty years an inmate of the asylum where she was known as "Sunshine," is dead. Mrs. Keppler was a beautiful woman and her nature was as charming as ber face.

She came to America from Russia nearly thirty years ago with her husband. Both were young and ambitious and had high hopes of making their fortune in the new world. But they had not been long In America, and had made but tew friends, when the husband sickened and died. Her grief and loneliness crazed his young widow and her removal to the asylum here followed. The treatment she received soon partlyIn fact, almost wholly restored her reason, but she remained at the Institution and devoted her life to making lens dark the lives of those not so fortunate as herself, and she did much to niaka their lot more endurable.

She was beloved by hundreds ot tbe patients, and throughout the huge institution was known as "Sunshine." As the result of a visit made to the asylum on Thanksgiving Day by Mrs. Meyer Oreenberg, president of the Jewish Women's Relief Association of Manhattan, who then learned of Mrs. Kep-pler's life story, a home for "Sunshine" was secured in the family of a wealthy retired merchant In that borough. It was planned that the good news should be broken to her on Christmas Day, whon the merchant and his wife ruiermo. Aimena ana Malaga.
