PUBLIC SCHOOL ECONOMY WE
NIGHT APPROPRIATE.

South Bend evidently isn't the only
city that is suffering from over-crowd-
ed schools. and for much the same
reasons. but not all Of them appear
as slow as South Bend in devising
prospective remedies. OF course, il
Is presumptuOus To point city like
this 10 a burg like New York, for any
thing like an example in educational
methods. but since New York appears
10 be not above coming to Indiana
Gary.-to find its remedy, maybe we
can venture a reference 10 New York,
and thus copy Gary in that roundabout
way. at least without injuring our
dignity.
New York city, with its 100000
school children. is in a bad way for
lack Of accommodations. The in
crease OF children has far outrun the
facilities for handling them, At the
close of the last school year there
were 1872, 900 pupils in school less than
the regular numbe of hours, because
there was no room for them. At pres
ent the mum Der restricted TO part
time" is said to be considerably over
800. 900
The board of education estimates
that the new buildings required to
provide adequate accommodations
would cost from 5000, 600 to $40.
600, 900. And the city is so hard up
that teachers pensions are unpaid.
and the administration is planning
special assessment on personal prop
erty to make up big deficit.
Now, it happens that Mr.. Writ, the
originator Of the famous Gary sys-
tenn Of instruction. has been asked
TO submit an estimate Of the cost of
installing that system in all the New
York schools. 1t has already been
tried. and proved successful, in some
OF them He reports that for $4,000
600 the present school buildings and
grounds could be put into proper
shape to take care Of all the children
in the city.
There is a saving. TO begin with, OF
$4,000. 600 to $4,000. 900 And the
director Of the Public Education asso-
citation estimates on the basis of
Brooklyn experiments, that $4,000, 900
or $4,000, 900 a year could be saved
i'm salaries. though that is less GER
tain
The enormous economy effected un-
der the Writ system is simply the re-
suit OF making full use of a city's
educational plant" as a private man
ufacturer or merchant makes use Of
his factory or store. The school build
ings are used all day The children
don't all come and go at once. They
attend in shifts. And so the cost is
less per pupil, in spite Of the fact that
they put in more hours day than
under other systems. and have wider
opportunities for study, work and
play There may be a saving in teach
ing expense. too, because the flexible
system makes it possible to distribute
the work more uniformly among the
teaching staff.
The educational results obtained
with the pupils themselves are, of
course. the main consideration. That
aspect has been much discussed,
usually with conclusions in favor of
the Writ system. But the financial
argument alone is calculated TO ap-
peal TO any city. large or small, par
ticularly when emphasized by the
millions of dollars involved in the
New York problem II there is any
light in it for the South Bend school
authorities. most assuredly they are
welcome: thrice welcome.

OWNERS OF SEIZED WHEAT
HAVE FILED NO PROTESTS

No protests had been received at the
State Department today from American
owners of wheat seized by the Canadian
government.
Officials said it was doubtful whether
any action could be taken should such
complaints. which are expected be re-
ceived. Crops. it was explained. were
considered to have a mercantile or busi-
ness nationality. Crops in Canada, con-
sequently are considered Canadian prop
erty regardless of their ownership.
Precedent for this opinion is said to
have been established during the Span
war. when property in Cuba
owned by an American citizen was held
by the Supreme Court of the United States
to have acquired an enemy character.

Demands Experienced Leadership.

Il cannot conscientiously accept
your invitation unless positively as
sured beforehand that at least ten men
well known and deservedly trusted as
peace advocates of experience and good
judgment form the leadership of the
expedition. AS an officer of the wom-
ans peace party / am deeply grateful
for the confidence you show in the pur-
poses of that organization, and the
calling of a conference of neutral ma
tions is a part of our program. We are
also committed to trying to secure an
unofficial conference of neutrals and
peace workers provided no government
sanction can be secured. 1t would
therefore be great disappointment if
your proposed backing of our program
should prove fruitless. Any gathering,
however. whether official or non-offi-
cial, in the interest of a speedy close
of this war and the prevention of fu-
ture wars snould be preceded by care
full private conference to the per
sonnel of those invited, plans of pro-
cedure in the United States and method
of securing foreign assistance.
Il cannot too strongly express my re-
gret that such preliminary steps were
not taken before public and, as regards
some items, inaccurate statements were
made. / must therefore ask for reaa
surance on the points indicated before
actually accepting your invitation. 1
dislike to seem ungracious in view of
the great generosity you have shown
and of my own deep conviction that a
conference of neutrals should long ago
have been initiated by the people of the
United States. l am compelled, how
ever, to speak thus plainly in so i'm
portant 4 matter, although assuring
you of my profound appreciation of
final answer waits for further informa-
ton.
