FAREWELL PLAY OF

"Alias Jimmy Valentine" is Given Capital Performance
 by Augmented Cast

The old saying Last But Not Least" was brought forcfbly to the mind of each spectator last night when the Poli players in their farewell offering at the Poli theatre on Fairfield avenue presented Alias Jimmie Valentine" as fitting valedictory. "Alias Jim mic Valentine is a four act play written by Paul Armstrong and deals with the fortunes of Lee Randel serv- ing a ten year sentence for burglary under the title name In the art of safe-cracking he has not beer, the niece of Lieutenant Governor Fay who secures his pardon, he vows to re- form, even though his old pals, Bill Avery and Red" Jocelyn, try to

 A. H. Van Beuren in the principal part carried the expectations of his audience to the highest pitch and made a final display of that refined yer satiIity which has justly made him so popular here. Miss Ethel Clifton as Rose Lane was charming picture. Mark Kent as Doyle, the detective, gave a most able reproduction of the part of the ''bu11' and typified the part in detail. It was but another demon stration of his marked ability to DOT tray character and though cast in a part designed to oppose that of Val entine his exceptional talent evoked much interest. Stuart Fox and Guy Harrington as pals Of "Jimrnie'' were seen at their very best Miss Jessie Pring1e and Marguerite Starr al- though cast in minor roles maintained the standard of excellence which has made them favorites
 Harry Fisher and Cecil Rowser gave impressive illustrations of scheck-forg- ing and 1ock-picking and though seen but for few minutes held the interest Of the house.

 to Endanger Health Trouble Might be Settled if Teachers Used Judgment in
 Apportioning Home
 Work

New York, Dec. 31-Educationa1 cir cIes countrywide were deeply interest ed, today, to learn whether the sug- gested protest against home work by school children, which in effect, would reach the proportions of a general strike. will materialize when school is resumed safter the holidays The scheme originated with the Ladies Home Journal, which. character1z1ng g the present public school system of the country as a magnificent inSt1tu- ton gone lamentably wrong" suggest ed that parents generally refuse to permit their children to study at home in order ito preserve their health"
 How generally the suggestion will be taken up is problematical but it is plain, today, that educators are di- feree with child development. Miss Grace c. Straichan, district superinten- dent, who recently won the great fight of the woman teachers for equal pay with the men, made it very plain that, while she believed in home study, she thought some teachers Overdtd it. But the teachers hands. She held that action by the parents in refusing to permit home study would be fnterfer- ence with school discipline.

In deplorable number of cases, the parents and chil- dren are right in their protests simply because teachers forget, in assigning tasks, that they are not the only ones who give out subjects for home study.
 ''If every teacher would remember that child has probably been assign ed tasks in four or five other studies and reduce the amount of work ac- cordingly, the problem would be solved. If the teacher would remem- Der that the child is probably nearer the bottom of the class than the top, that every fact he acquires is in a brain fatiguing struggle and would then make the lesson correspond, the cause of the complaint would be elf- minated.
