rnlcate pnlItlcal LcsSnns.

At a meeting Of public school principals
in the assembly rooms OF the Board Of
Education building yesterday afternoon
City Superintendent Maxwell gave the
teachers some sugge suon3 AZ TO how to
teach nature study
Suppose, said the superintendent, that
you should give each pupil few seeds
and tell him to 60 home and plant them.
II he could not afford flower pot he could
at least get cigar box in which to put
earth and nourish his plant
The superintendent asserted how by
watching the plant grow the child would
learn useful moral and political lessons.
1T would teach the child resourcefulness
and self-relianoe, he continued, 1T would
teach him to observe. because he would
have something to observe. and when he
is doing that he il learning to think
"In watching the plant grow the child
gets training Of the will. he must reason
and concentrate bis attention He learns
the moral lesson Of carefulness too and
becomes accurate.
The superintendents idea was that
these seeds should be distributed among
the pupils early in the spring. and then in
June flower show should be held and
prizes given to those who had produced the
best results.

The wrath Of Justice Zeler, sitting In

day by a story Of inhuman treatment in
the Westchester Temporary Home for
Children at White Plains. told by young
William Hellwig The Justice Numbered
out a message to Deputy Sheriff Frank
A. Vim Of White Plains TO take back to the
authorities there. Vim says he cannot
deliver all the message because he hasn't
the power OF language the Justice possesses
and an yhow he wouldn't dare.
Young Hellwig isn't an awfully good boy
He has been in trouble before. But Justice
Zeller said he had questioned the boy in
private and believes his tale Of III usage
The boys story reflected chiefly on
man named Royce, who Is said to be in
charge Of the home Deputy Sheriff VIM
thinks Royce was removed recently.
Henwig's family used to live in New
York but they are in Mamaroneck now
Three weeks ago his mother bad him sent
10 tho home for tr,ianoy. On the first day
there, Hellwig says, one OF the boys spoke
while they we're in line. Royce. who was
in charge. thought it was he, and, he says,
pulled him out OF the line and beat him
on the back with a thick stick until he was
black and blue. Hellwig promptly ran away
from the school but was caught before
night and taken back. Then. he says, Royce
put him In little cell on the top floor Of
small outbuilding and kept him on bread
and water for three days, beating him
every once in a while Morning noon and
night, the boy says, he receive two slices
OF bread and cup Of water. The cell, &C

was no bed or CT, and the boy says he slept
on the floor rolled up in two blanket
week after he got out Hellwig tried to
run away again, but was caught and put
back in the cell and beaten again by Royce
beaten and choked, he alleges. until the
blood came from his ears and nose. After
a week on bread and water he was let out
again and week later ran away.
Last Monday PatI Gilman George Lehn-
hof found him at ie9th street and Third
avenue and knowing him rom past Ell per-
ienoe picked him up and turned him over
TO the Gerry society
To Deputy Sheriff Vim, waiting TO take
the boy back to White Plains IL he was re-
leased. Justice Zeller exclaimed
Il shall not release this boy 10 be taken
back TO such place. You teli those people
! am sorry | have no jurisdiction there.
Such conduct on the part Of one who should
chow kindness TO children ia ecandalous
Such a man deserves no pity. He should
be made to suffer and am sorry cannot
reach him
The boys mother was in court With
jacket spotted with blood which HellwIg
says he wore when he was ohoked He
was committed TO the Juvenile Asylum.
During the whole hearing he was terror
stricken lest he be sent back to White
