ION the other hand, I think that ouI

psychology that is far superior to the
Montessori theories. Montessori, how
ever. has a practical lesson for Froebel
"As the Montessori apparatus Is adapt
ed to young and undeyeloped children,
believe the establishment OF two-yeai
kindergartens, employing considerable oi
her methods in neighborhoods where there
is a large proportion OF foreign or back
ward pupils would be found decidedly
helpful"
Mr.. Ely's estimation OF the value of the
Montessori methods is unusually notable
because of the campaign being made for
him as a candidate to succeed Dr. Will
lam N. Davidson, who has resigned the
superintendency OF the public schools, for
which several citizens associations have
Indorsed him, and because also Of Mr..
Ely's other innovations in school work.
Among these are the fresh-air class at
the Blake School, now In its third year;
the coaching class at the Gales, and the
first club of Campfire Girls organized in
the District public schools.
As a result of his study of open-air
schools, Mr.. Ely has long been interested
in establishing centers in the District for
tubercular children, where they could be
segregated and cared for as their condi-
ton demands. In his report of last year
he made a strong plea for such schools
and is much gratifed at the encouraging
outlook.

Big ROAD MAINTENANCE

National Body Arranges for Object
Lesson on Highway Between This
City and Atlanta.
STATE COOPERATION IS ASKED

In order to demonstrate the value OF
practical maintenance Of highways, the
American Highway Association, the CEN
tral good roads organization of the
United States, has arranged, in co-opera-
ton with the Federal Office OF Public
Roads, and road officials in Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Georgia. for an ambitious maintenance ex-
pertinent on the road from Washington
to Atlanta, Ga. More than 200 miles OF
road are expected to be improved and
kept in condition as a result.
The maintenance object lesson road ex-
tends from Washington through a his
toric section of the country, passing such
points as Arlington, Mount Vernon, battle
fields OF Bull Run, Charlottesville,
SpottsyIvania, and Fredericksburg. en-
route to Richmond, thence southwark
through the capitals of North and South
Carolina, to Atlanta.
The American Highway Association
will enlist the support of the counties and
districts traversed by the road and.
whenever possible, induce local author
tiles to place the road under the super
vision of government engineers.
Probably 70 per cent of the total mile
age already has been improved by a sur
facing of stone, gravel, or mixture
of sand and clay. The object Of the
maintenance scheme Is to prevent the i'm
proved portions Of the road from de-
teriorating for lack of suitable care, and
to make the unimproved portions as COM
Portable for travel as possible with the
money available.
Leonard Tufts is chairman of the COM
mittee designated by the association to
have charge of the campaign, and he has
arranged to place 10 miles under govern
ment engineers. 1t is expected that all
counties traversed by the road will cheer
fully enter into the arrangement

He hopes to prove that because he and

view of welded life.
Mr.. Terrill, in applying to the public
health service for a physical examina-

Reed the evening before the wedding,

that that was merely necessity to a
happy marriage.
Mrs. Terrill, who is a petite blond, with
light brown hair and dark brown eyes.

disaster"
Corbett also finds fault with 8TcAllis-
ter for not feinting enough, but admit
ted that any defects in BOb's methods
might be traced 10 the fact that he had
so Outclassed all his opponents so far
that there had been no occasion for
him to school himself in many of the
tricks of the trade In other words
that Bob had had to depend merely on
right fighting, thus far in his career,
and that this had brought, him the best
results.
Good Reason To Be Hopeful.
Corbett acknowledged that there was
good reason for the Olympic club be-
ing hopeful in regard to McAuister's
future and said he doubted whether
any Of the present crop Of middle
weights could defeat the amateur
champion.
Bob's method of keeping himself well
balanced while in action. his fine. free
use of both hands, his quickness in
sending home a blow when his OppO-
nent missed and his particularly eff
fective style OF warming his man
ribs when fighting close, all appealed
to the veteran who. even with the de-
fects spoken of. pronounced McAlister
the most likely sappling he had looked
at in years.
The question Of turning professional
is still agitating McAllister but quite

it is cOncerned-he is in a class by him
self, but for all we know he may be
cursed with a glass jaw. Personally I'd
like to see Bob, thoroughly tried out
from an endurance standpoint before
I subscribed to the argument that he
ought to turn professional"
House Divided Against Itself.
In way the Olympic club is as q
house divided against itself over the
AIcAIlister matter, many Of the mem
bers urging him to take the plunge
while others are warning him to go
slow.
On this particular point Jim COrbett
has been noncOmmittal so far content
ing himself with remarkino sagely:
IF YOU make your mark as a prOfes-
siOnal you're all right, but if you don't
you're all wrong"
Meanwhile Bob 1IcAllister is Juggling
at the leash and the club directors are
thinking up schemes to restrain his
impetuOsity.
One way is to bring out here the
champion amateur heavyweight Of all
all, whether McAllister is beyond ar
gument the best gentleman boxer in
the country.
