...naA I.I.NEE EncuRsIoNs. :.

The special matinee excursions on the steamer Park City which leaves Bridgeport every week day and Sun day at 1sSo p. m., are more popular this season than ever before. The residents of Bridgeport and vicinity are taking advantage of this very pIeasant outing There Is no short trip that embraces so many advantages at a moderate expense as tIlis invtgor- ating sail across the Sound to the quaint building town of Port Jeff ferson. The steamer leaves the wharf at the foot of Fairfield avenue at 1:3O o'clock, returning leaves Port Jeffer- son at 4:20 arriving In Bridgeport at 6 o'clock Thus you can enjoy three hours on the Sound and one hour and thirty minutes on Long Island If you have not taken Che trip you should certainly do so at as early a date as possible

SCHOOL NO PLACE FOR RELIGIOUS OR

Child Has Right to Freedom of Choice, Says Western
 Educator.
Agitation For Such Instruction Declared Based On Wrong
 Premises.

St Paul, July 1o-''Un1ess certain adjustments are made in the educa- tionaI system of the public schools of America they will lose their hold in our civilization and continue to exist only as decaying institution"
 This was the declaration of J. IT. Francis, superintendent of schools of Los Angeles, Cal, in an address today before the annual convention of the. National Education Assqciation which will close it's sessions tonight.
 Every child has a right to freedom in the pursuit of his normal develop ment, free from mertal, religious, po- 1itica1 or financial exploitation on the part of thosef stronger than himself. z MT. Francis Continued. Quiet opposi- tion of powerful organizations toward another change leading to greater in- dependence of thought or freedom IS one of the menacing difficulties facing those who would institute system of schools to meet the needs of chill dren.''
 Henry Cope, of Chicago, speaking before the Religious Education Asso- citation, said the present agitation for the teaching of religion in the public schools is based on three misappre- hensions," as follows:
 First, that the state may properly teach religion ;second, that religion can be taught as mathematics and many other subjects can and third, that teaching religion would solve all the problems of youthful delinquency and cure the general public apathy to ecclesiastical affairs.
 Tn recent times the attempts to meet that instruction in religion has taken on a large degree of educational seriousness. The churches are facing in that direction. It is the duty of the state to recognize every serious effort to meet educational needs. Whenever the work of the Sunday schools or similar agencies rises to the level of the work of the public schools. that common level of educational efn- ciency ought to have public recogni- tions'
 Shorter courses and longer hours were among the changes advocated I by the commission on the reorganixa- tion of methods in the teaching man ua1 training in secondary schools in it's annual report submitted today.
 T fear our schools are turning out too many .sissies and that the rough element is taking advantage Of if, r said Edward A. Ross of the university of Wisconsin. .sSixssevenths of American teachers are women. and there. is danger lest they, with their ladylike ideas of conduct, quench the natural pugnacity of our boys below the point of chfvalrous spunk

M Head, counsel for Warren Brothers Go, sent Mayor Wilson yesterday
 1T think T can safely talk for the other members of the board he con- tinued when say we will have nothing to do with this arbitration scheme.
