LONG EXPERIENCE, PROMPT, RELIABLE. Relief for Needy Teachers. A movement originated a few years ago by the late A. J. Whiteside, for the relief of New York teachers who were retired from service before the pension law was passed, has been revived. At a dinner of the school men two years ago a movement was started to raise a special fund for the purpose. Principal Whiteside, at that dinner, explained the circumstances in which the teachers were placed. Some thirty were members of the Mutual Benefit Association and retired from the school system just a year before the pension law was passed. Since the passage of the pension law the number of teachers who have joined the Association has been small, whereas 129 TREMONT ST., BOSTON the number retired has steadily increased.

Pitman's Journal offers a solid Gold Medal, value one hundred and fifty dollars ($150), to be held as an Isaac Pitman Shorthand Championship Trophy carrying the title of Championship for the year. This championship medal will have to be wrested from the holder from year to year. 2. The first and every subsequent championship winner will also receive and retain as his absolute property a second solid Gold Record Medal, value seventy-five dollars ($75), suitably inscribed and recording that the holder was the Champion American Isaac Pitman Writer for that year. The obverse side of this medal bears a life-like reproduction of the head of the late Sir Isaac Pitman, and it is worthy of note that the design and dies were cut by Mr. Allan Wyon, F.S.A., Medallist to His Majesty King Edward. These medals, which are made of eighteen and twenty-two carat gold, and hand carved, are on view at the office of Pitman's Journal, 31 Union Square, New York. The competition will be open to all writers of the Isaac Pitman system who have commenced the study of the system within the limits of the Continent of North America and adjacent islands. Competitors must be residents of this territory for at least one year prior to the date of the competition. There is no limit as to age, sex, or color. The first competition will be held at Boston, Mass., on Saturday, March 30, 1907, in connection with the annual meeting of the Eastern Commercial Teachers' Association, at which other shorthand speed trophies will be competed for, viz., the Miner Gold Medal (now held by an Isaac Pitman writer and open to the shorthand writers of any system of less than ten years' experience), and the Eagan Silver Challenge Cup, open to all shorthand writers without restriction.

A new trial has been ordered by Justice Kelly, of the Brooklyn Supreme Court, in the case of Mrs. N. Curtis Lenihen, against the New York Board of Education. A judgment, amounting to nearly $5,000, was awarded Mrs. Lenihen as the difference between her salary as assistant to principal and the salary as principal, which she claimed, for a period from June, 1899, to August, 1904. The ground for a new trial is that on certain payrolls between January, 1901, and April, 1904, the plaintiff signed receipts for her salary as "assistant to principal." He was always liable, as Mrs. Clemens knew, to absent-mindedness, and here is the story as Mark Twain tells it: "When I was leaving Hartford for Washington, Mrs. Clemens said: 'I have written a small warning and put it in a pocket of your dress-vest.
