SCHooLBOYS EFFEMINATE,
DUE TO WOMEN TEACHERS

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 7.-ACcom-
panying his resignation as athletic di-
rector of the Cleveland public schools
with a declaration that school boys
are becoming effeminate, George w.
Ehler opened a heated discussion.
Schools are not turning out manly
lads" he said. They are cutters. In
their games they show no sportsmen's
honor. They want merely to win. They
lack the qualities a man would teach
them by example. Women teachers,
too, inculCate habits of tale bearing,
and their pupils run constantly into
the woman teachers 'don'ts,' missing
inspiration to constructive, character
building effort"
Superintendent w. H. Elson and
members Of the school board cried:
"Bosh!" but President Thwing, Of
Western Reserve university, said:
In America four-fifths of the public
school teachers are women; in Japan
four-ffths are men. l think it would
be we'll for us to introduce Immediately
the Japanese system of men teachers
to avert the fem%inization Of our youth.
The present method of training must
be altered If our children are to be as
manly as their fathers"

HOW TO TOUR EUROPE
WITH ONLY A SUITCASE

New York, Sept. Mrs. z. G. Nc
Allister, widow Of q cousin OF the ia
nous Ward, has arrived from Naples
with merely a small suitcase, a we'll
fitting and gauzy dress of blue and a
triumphant smile.
Mrs. McAllister may be 45, but she
does not look near 1t. She has the
spirit Of a widow in the 20s. Her smile
of triumph Is due to a problem she says
she solved, for her, at least-that of
travelling abroad and back again with
out excess baggage. h was willing
to tell exactly how she managed to
spend more than two months touring
Europe, with a wardrobe not too big
to put in a suitcase and not too heavy
for a spirited m to carry all by
herself.
She learned at Miami, Fla, that a
tourist party would leave this city on
June 20. She got here in four days
with only her little suitcase, and began
to plan how she could carry all she
might need on her trip.
First, she discarded her white ruffied
skirt and her t~wo-piece underwear,
buying in their place q brilliantine
skirt with double frills and three union
suits.
The rest of her apparel was:
Four pairs of tan hose, one pair of
tan shoes, one brown tan suit, one silk
waist to match, one lace waist for
evening, four linen waists. three pairs
of gloves, six handkerchiefs, one UNI
brella, one brown veil, one small hat.
At first the other women in the
party were inclired to treat Mrs. Nc
Allister's experiment humorously, and
then they began to regret that they
had not tried it themselves, particu-
larly when they came to frontiers
where customs officers insisted on
looking into their trunks carefully.
while they were sweltering over
their trunks" Mrs. McAllister said, Il
Just sat around and smiled at them"
