ITALIAN AMERICANS
DISCUSS WELFARE
OF THE IMMIGRANT
Alliance in Convention at
Wilmington Gives Today's
Sessions Entirely Over to
Business.

WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. s-The
lteiian-American Alliance held interesting
sessions with increased attendance today.
Save for theatre party at the Playhouse
tonight, all attention will be given to
business.
A considerable part of the session today
is being devoted to discussing plans for
Americanizing the Italian immigrants
coming to this country. The idea of the
alliance is to make them good American
citizens, at the same time retaining their
love for the motherland.
The principal address at the morning
session was made by the Rev Michele
Raimondi, of Buffalo, N. Y, who spoke
of the general improvement of the italian
Americans. His address was in italian.
DIR. Ben De Vecchis, of Philadelphia,
will be the principal speaker tomorrow.
He stirred the alliance to cries of bravo
with his paper urging the Italians to
educate their children to improve the
immigrants who come here and to take
their proper place in the community and
to become real Americans. The speech
was ordered printed and sent to the 3OOO
italian societies in this country.
When the convention was not In ses-
sion, the delegates were taken on sight
seeing trips by local members OF the al
lance. They viewed with interest the
italian colony, where about 1000 Italians,
including a number of builders, con-
tractors and other business men, live.
Local members OF the Alliance are much
pleased at the fact that the attendance
at the convention is much larger than
at the last meeting in Buffalo. SIX
hundred delegates attended the first con-
vention three years ago. Last year at
Buffalo the number fell to about l6o. Ihls
year 300 delegates are attending. m
Thursday evening the banquet will be
hold Mt the Hotel du Pont and number
of guests will be present in addition TO
the delegates to the convention. GOV,

at least one foreign language should be
taught in the public schools, with a pref
erenCe for Latin. and a committee of
three was authorized to report at the
next meeting as to the course to pursue
in reference to two other languages.
There was only one vote in favor of Ger
man taking the place of Latin in the
schools. although II developed that in
certain sections of Montgomery County
the teaching of German was preferred
and two languages could not be taught
because there was not an adequate teach
ing stan.
In the rural section Clarence G. Cooper,
supervisor of rural schools in Baltimore
County, Nd, in talk on composition,
told the 200 or more rural teachers that
the trouble was that many of the teach
ers were talking things instead of doing
things.
He told the teachers to avoid sarcastic
remarks in the schoolroom. arguing that
they had a depressing effect upon the
pupil and said that the rod had better be
used. do as Theodore Roosevelt says"

tardation in the grammar grades was
discussed by Leroy A. King, Jenkintown,
and Miss Wager, OF West Norton, while
poetry for the grammar grades was the
subject discussed by J. G. Carter Troop,
of the University Of Toronto.

EDUCATION BOARD !
MAY REVISE HIGH
SCHOOL SYSTEM
Associate Superintendep,
Wheeler Advocates Plan
of Junior and Senio,
Courses for Reasons Of
Economy.

Complete revision of the gradas !.
the public schools to effect an annrni
saving of 100000 is being planned ~.
George Wheeler, associate superlntAn5,
ent.
The plans involve the establishments :.
junior and senior" high schools ana
the reduction of the elementary conrss
from eight to six years. Boys and girls
would attend the lower grades for s,
years after which they would be pror,o,N
ed to the "junior" high school, Tbo,
would spend three years In the latts,
and three years in the Senior school
Pupiis now spend IL years in the public
schools before completing the course. ana
the same time would be required Under
the new plan, but the subjects would ba
taught In different grades
Instruction in the foreign Languages
would begin at the age of 12, whereas
the average child now starts the study ~
French and German at the average aga
of Is.
Mr.. Wheeler and Superintendent Brum.
baugh urged the board to revise the coursa
last spring, but the plan was not an.
proved because the term was then almost
ended. In all probability single school
will be erected where the plan will be
applied experimentally, and If 1t proves
successful the change will become gem
eral one.
The system which Mr.. Wheeler adyo-
Gates is now in operation in Boston,
Kansas City, Kan: Springfield, ILL.,; Ro.
chester and other cities.
Mr.. Wheeler believes with the new
grading congestion In the high schools
will be removed. He called attention to
the overcrowding at the West Philadel-
piia High School, which was built less
than two years ago at the cost of $780,
900.
PROBLEM OF THE BOARD.
ut is logical to believe" he said, THAT
the board will face the same problem
In the future in Germantown, Kensing-
ton, South Philadelphia and Frankford.
Although large high schools are to be
erected in those sections, there is
strong possibility that they, too, will
prove inadequate. The annual report Of
President Edmunds of the Board of Edu-
cation shows that the high school pop.
ulation in this city has increased about
100 per cent. in the last ten years.
THE cost per pupil for building and
furniture in the elementary schools is
S27O and in the high schools, s57O. Under
the new system the cost would be reduced
to such an extent that difference OF
s12 year per pupil would be found In
the interest which the board must pay on
loans floated to supply these facilities"
A reduction in the cost of high school
equipment would be another factor, In
the economy, he said. Since the Junior"
and Senior high schools could be hous-
ed in separate buildings expensive equip
ment would not be installed in buildings
where all the pupils can not make use OF
the costly apparatus.

PROSPERITY KEYNOTE
OF BUSINESS MEN
AT ATLANTIC CITY
II ard w are Convention
Adopts Creed in Cheerful
Refutation of Gloomy
News of Calamity Howlers

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. rs. 49, Calamity
howlers took to the tall timber when the
American Hardware Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION and the National Hardware AS
ISOLATION, in joint convention at the
Marlborough -Blenheim, today cheeringly
adopted a new business creed promul-
gated by w. d. Taylor, of Cleveland,
president of the latter association.
What we need to do now to take the
fullest possible advantage of condition
without precedent in world affairs is to
educate American people to buy goods
bearing the made in America label.
When we have done that we need have
no fears for the future.
South American trade is important and
we need 1t. but not half so much as we
need the trade of our own country for
American enterprises. Next in relative
Importance Is the trade of our Canadian
cousins. After that should come the
trade of Central America, for Canada
md Mexico are going to offer us immense
commercial possibilities.
Optimism pervaded the convention of
seven hardware manufacturers and job
bers. They laughed at every hint of
pessimism, opened their meeting by sing
ing God Bless Our Native Land with a
swing and stood with bowed heads while
the Rev. John r. Davies, of Bethlehem
Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, pray
ed for spiritual guidance for the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet "in these days of
stress and perpleXity," for the peaceful
adjustment of international problems, the
building up of industrial prosperity, and
the sheathing of the sword abroad to the
end that the fearful waste Of life there
may be speedily ended"
Mr.. Taylor. speaking of the effect OF the
European conflict upon American trade,
said, It had. by suspending imports, erect
ed wall vastly more effective than the
most radical of protective tariffs.
'Tt should develop new enterprises and
= new sense of patriotism; for from this
time forward Made in America goods
should always receive the n.eferenCe," he
said. IF this sentiment prtvails existing
enterprises will be running 100 per cent
instead of 40 or 80 per cent; giving en-
ployment to our own people and the
millions who will come here from abroad
when the war is ended there
This distinctly is not a time for bust
ness pessimism. We must avail ourselves
OF every opportunity, at home first, then
in Canada, next in Central America. and
then In South America. Europe cannot
use our raw materials, but will take all
the finished products we can send"
He said the country owed debt Of
gratitude to President Wilson for keeping
the country out Of war with Mexico.
Secretary T. James Fernley, Philadel-
phia, said the views of business men laid
before President Wilson had been ac-
cepted in revising the antitrust and trade
commission bills, which promise to be
beneficial to legitimate business.
