HENRIETTA RoDMAN. w

With facts and figures as their wcap-

cities arc waging a war against tho
old fashioned curriculum which has
been driven for years into the helpless
brains of young America. They are
proving that tho years spent In tho
schools arc practically wasted. so far
as the acquiring OF a sound education
which will help the children to fight
life's battles is concerned. Corps of
counselors are being organized to train
the young Idea to shoot straight, and
not to stagnate In q slough of useless
subjects
In the van of this insurgcnt army Is
Miss Henrietta Rodman. of the New
