GOOD SCHOOLS MEAN MUCH
IN CHARACTER OF COMMUNITY
DR.. Lingle said that good schools al
ways mean much to any community
Not only do they mean intellectual prog
ress, he said. but they mean charac-
ter development. IL they fulfill their
higher mission.
"Ginter Park has been improved in
many ways during the last few years."

has just been laid. will be worth more
to us than all these things combined
Here Is where our children will be
trained to play their part in life.
There are. to my mind. two strik-
ing things about our public schools
their thoroughness, which leads al
ways to efficiency. and their democracy
which is very essential In country
such as ours. Here the children OF
the rich and the poor all mingle to-
gether on equal footing. leading to
that feeling OF Fellowship which must
obtain in great republic. They are
I might say, the great Jewelers. Of
American life.
There are two tendencies in our
public school system that we must
guard against-the tendency to make
machines Of tho pupils and to make
machines OF the teachers Every child
and every teacher has a personality
an individuality. For their best inter-
ests they cannot be harnessed In one
groove. They must he given an op-
portunity to expand along those lines
peculiar TO them. Any attempt to
limit them is always harmful.
I'm conclusion / would emphasize
the fact that we must not stress too
much the intellectual side OF a child's
development. to the detriment of his
moral development Both are essen
tial, but they go hand IN hand If We
would have the beat Iesults of train

SCHOOL GIRLS DEBATE
WON FOR SUFFRAGTSTS
Three Judges Give Unanimous
Verdict for Affirmative in
William Penn High

Woman suffrage in Pennsylvania would
be instrumental in bringing about a re-

state according to a decision rendered
by three young women judges yesterday.
The decision was unanimous. It was
received with applause by a throng of
ardent young suffragists and even by the
"antis' who had gathered In the William
Penn High School for Girls, after both
sides Of the question had been ably pre-
sented by fair pleaders.
The suffrage debate was held by the
English class of sophomores. Interest

Miss #. Nurnberg, Hiss Epstein and Miss
