Some of the most striking figures
about the advantages of having tho

oned are the following: In the Fros-
bel school in Gary, twelve years in sle-
mentary school and high school. cost
the city. for one student, twelve times

years in elementary school cost the
city for one student eight times S402i,

In Gary for the S3si.20 a student could
also get more vocational work than is
given in a separate trade school. A
New York boy would get none of this.
Even II we compute the cost in Gary
on the basis OF the average salary paid

the panic of 1907 Mr.. Zabriskie. father
OF the petitioner, lost part of his fort
une and Mrs. Smith was forced 10 ac-
cept employment as a mlliner at $50
a week.
Reduced in circum stances, Mrs. Smith
said she found II impossible to care for
her children in the manner to which
they had been accustomed. Therefore
she turned them over TO the care of her
mother-in-law, with the understanding
she alleged, that when she might again
be in position to support them she
would expect the grandmother to re-
store them 20 her.
That time has now come. according
to the younger Mrs Smith. Her father,
she says, has regained his fortune and
occupies fine three story house at
SO Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, and Mrs.
Smith is able and anxious to care for
the boy and girl. In fact, she has long
been awaiting their return. she asserts,
but for two years was without infor-
nation Of their whereabouts. Not UNI
Ill she engaged detectives 10 find them
did Mrs. Smith learn where her chill
dren were.
When she got the information, on
September Is, she went TO the Harlem
address where her mother-in-law had
been keeping them and forcibly took
her son away. He was in her custody
one week. In that brief time, she says.
she learned enough to make the present
move to recover Pierre and Camilla.
Also, she asserts, she heard with ach-
ing heart the story which the grand
mother had, il is alleged, told the chill
6ren that their mother had deserted
them and cared nothing about them.
Mrs Smith complains that her chill
dren are seldom permitted to leave the
luxurious apartment where the grand
mother maintains them. One reason
they are not sufficiently fed, Mrs. Smith
alleges, is that the rother-in-law is a
Chronic debtor" and fails to pay the
with whom she deals. As
for the candy. the mother says they
get too much Of the sweet stuff, their
allowance for sweets being 10 cents
each a day. which the mother contends

Mrs. Smith, their education being en-
tirely neglected.

prospective principals Of Gary school
stated in an interview yesterday that

great opportunity of the teachers.
There is nothing new about the
Writ plan" said Mr.. Hirsdansky, but
the great thing is that it gives the
New York principals and teachers the
opportunity TO do the things which
they have been longing to do all these
years II ia said that New York has
always had all of these different ac-
tivities. That is true, and 1t isn't ;ruc.
II is true that we have had shops, sci
ence rooms and Fairgrounds, but we
have only had them piecemeai, and 1t
is sometimes forgotten that even thece
things, piecemeal as they are are
found only in the modern buildings
Under the work-study and-play plan,
on the contrary, all these things are
made possible for all the children all
the time. In Public School we have
been longing for years to have a well
equipped gymnasium and shops. Now
we shall have them, and We are de-
lighted that the work-study- and play
plan makes them possible. | believe
that when the teachers thoroughly un-
derstand the plan they will embrace it
as an opportunity TO carry out their

What a Gary Parent Says About the
Schools.

Walter J. Parsons, engineer in charge
of the construction OF He'll Gate Bridge,
paid a tribute the other day to the
Gary schools. Mr.. Parsons lived in
Gary for two years and a half before
taking up his present position here and
his children went to school there. The
interview took place in his Office, in
Astoria, at the foot of the great bridge
which he is building.
"A demonstration of what the Gary
schools can do is what they have done
for my children" Mr.. Parsons declared.
THE striking thing about the attitude
of the children toward the schools in
Gary was the great interest which they
took in their schooling and the ease
with which they learned. Here, on the
contrary, their work seems hard for
them. They bring work home, and 1t
stares them in the face all the after
noon and prevents them from playing.
Sometimes they spend all afternoon and
evening on il. | notice that some peo-
pie object TO the Gary plan because
children study geography and history
as late as or ? o'clock in the after
noon. II il is bad for them 10 study
Mt that time-and do not think il is
how much worse il is FOR them 20 do Il
all afternoon and evening.
"In Gary they did not bring any
work home. They did i all in school
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-11-11

and they did it easily. They were in
terested and they worked with great
concentration. Ny eleven-year- boy
is now in the seventh grade, and my
daughter was graduated from the Gle
mentary school when she was cnly
thirteen, and ] lay II entirely 70 me
good groundwork which they received
in the Gary schools.
1.-THE Gary schools render the max
imum of service because the whole
school plant is used over and over
again. This is a fundamental princi-
pie of good management. For exam
pie. II is the same principle which was
applied in constructing Hell Gate
Bridge. Let me illustrate" and Mr..
Parsons walked TO the window over
looking the river. He'll Gate swiried
and spsrkled in the sunlight as the
tugs and schoorers pushed their way
through trcacherous waters. And
above the river stood the great bridge.
1000 feet long, the highest tip o. i,s
sweeping arch 307 feet above the Wa
ter. IL is great achievement IN EN-
ginecring. and il is beautiful monu-
ment that will stand 10 the glory Of
New York for generations.
THE watchword governing the cree
ton OF that bridge, or any other great
enterprise, is the maximum efficiency
from our outfit. Only 10 per cent OF
the erection material was special. that
is. used for only one purpose. All the
other material has had double use. For
instance, these back stays (polnting
to the giant steel arms which run
from the ground 10 the arch span
held up the two halves of the arch
span, but they will be used again in
the approaches, and in the floor Of the
arch span itself. The Gary school
system is used in the same way. IN
stead of having special equipment for
special classes, all equipment is used
over and over again-seats, machines.
laboratories, auditoriums. Fairgrounds,
etc.
"My children keep asking IL .hey
cannot have the kind Of schools they
had in Gary" Mr. Parsons smiled a
little ruefully. ~ wish that they
might. My only fear is that New York
will not have them in time for the
children to benefit by them"
In Gary the shops used by the high
school boys are also used by the ele-
mentary school boys, and again in the
evening by men and boys over sixteen.
The auditoriums are used all day long,
in the evenings for dramatics, and on
Sunday In the Froebel school $500
children hear concerts, and later on
1900 adults hear concerts or lectures.
The elementary school children use the
swimming pools, gymnasium, and play
grounds all day, and in the evening
the adults can use them.
