calls her new book. at is the most
important thing we can do for our
country, is il not? To save children's

the Lighthouse on Fifty-ninth Street,

THE Encyclopaedia Bri-
i tannica is at once the
oldest and the newest Of
works Of reference. First
published in 1868. twenty
one years before the inaug-
uration Of Washington as
President, it has again and
again been rewritten and
reissued in enlarged and i'm
proved form. Each edition
has been more successful
than its predecessor. The
new Eleventh Edition OF the
Britannica is the culmina-
ton of a century and a halt
Of constant progress. How
useful The Encyclopaedia
Britannica is now and has
been for six generations
is proved by the fact that
more copies of it have been
sold than of all other ency-
clopaedias combined.

Gary plan carefully omit 70 mention.
More Classroom Time Under the Gary
Plan.
On November ?! the educational
page OF THE Globe" had long edi-
torial under the caption. Gary School
Plan Cuts Classroom for Many Pupils"
The Gary school plan does not cut
classroom time for pupils. and Mr.
Metcalfe knows IT, Let US assume"
he says. that the school day has been
heightened by one hour and extends
from 10 o'clock" And he then
goes on 70 outline supposititious
school day on the Gary plan, arriving
at the conclusion that the time for
classroom instruction is less under
this plan. The only trouble with his
figures is that they have no basis in
fact. or course, one can assume" any
thing one chooses, but as a matter Of
fact neither Public School 50. Brook
lyn. nor Public School IS. The Bronx.
begins its school day at 9 o'clock nor
ends at 1.
The facts about classroom instruc-
tion under the Gary plan are as fol-
lows: First. taking the whole eight
years together, child in either Pub
lie School SO, Brooklyn, or Public
School IS, The Bronx. receives more
time for classroom instruction than
does a child in the regular five hour
school. Secondly, the distribution Of
time for classroom instruction in the
several grades under the Gary plan is
more flexible than in the regular
school.
For example, in Public School 50.
Brooklyn, the children in the first
grade have the same amount of class
room time as the children in the regu-
lar school. In the second grade they
have less than the children in the reg
ular school, because it Is believed that
children in the first two grades should
have plenty of play. In grades 3 and
the children in Public School SO
have more time in the classroom than
in the regular school. In the fifth
grade they have seven minutes less
during the whole day for classroom in
struction. In the sixth seventh and
eighth grades they have forty TO forty
three minutes more than in the regular
school.
To sum up, In his statement about
the number of classes in schools under
the Writ plan, Mr.. Metcalfe deliber-
stely misrepresented the facts. In his
reference to the amount of time for
classroom instruction under the Writ
plan he stated that which he knew was
not So or if he was not aware of his
inaccuracy we would recommend for
his immediate serious consideration"
a study of the Gary plan.

ARABS ACTIVE IN EGYPT
Cairo Reports Frontiers Amply
Guarded-Senussi Quiet.

Cairo, Nov. 28.-Aggression against
frontier posts by western Arabs has
not been serious and an ample force
for protective purposes has been gath
cred, according to an official report
issued here. which says:
"The chief Of the Senussi continues
TO maintain an entirely friendly atti-
tude toward the government, but GER
tain hostile agencies have succeeded
in inducing some western Arabs TO
commit minor aggressive acts against
our frontier posts. In pursuance of
the governments policy of removing
any possible cause for trouble or frc-
ton at the smaller frontier posts, an
ample force now has been concen-
trated at Matrus to protect our Arabs
against any aggression"

WHAT THE WRIT PLAN DOES.

II takes children of the streets
and keeps them wholesomely busy at
work, study and play for six or
seven hours a day.
1t gives all children Just as much
academic work as the traditional
school, but by lengthening the
school day 1t gives time FOR practical
shop work. science, music, audi
forum and play for all children.
WHAT THE WRIT PLAN MEANS.
To every parent: A chance to give
his child the enriched educational
opportunities usually reserved for
the children of the favored few.
To teachers: No more hours OF
teaching, more congenial work.
To the community: Better cit-
zens; better schools FOR less cost.

~unification began, dates from 1926 and
falls into three periods. From 1926 to
lS4S, Capitalization was the political
idea at work. From 1S4S to 1867 there
was a confused period of war and con
stitutiOnal experiment. That put an
end to Capitalization and heralded the,
new system of dualism. 1t is under
dualism that the monarchy now oper-
ates-the power evenly divided between
Austria and Hungary. From 1867. the
period of dualism has been on trial. In
the opinion of Bidermann. Eisenmann
and many competent authorities, du-
alism not only has proved clumsy and
inefficient n found wanting-but it
has paved the way for the new political
ideal of federalism.

spring up. And under federalism there
will not be provinces su~bservient either
to Austria or to Hungary, but all will
have equal voice in the conduct Of af-

All that. of course. provided the en-
pire weathers the war, and does not

Of
AN EARLY SPRING
Great Prosperity Ahead for
Western Canada.

The most recen advices from all
points in Western Canada report that
conditions are apparent for an early
spring. Farmers are going over the
implements, getting their seeders
ready for operation, the plows in shape
for extended breaking, and there is a
general optimism. A great many new
settlers have already arrived, and the
reports from Canadian Government
agents in the United States point to
the fact that in a few days there will
begin the usual emigration from va
rious of the Central and Western
states. From the Eastern states the
number of farmers going to Canada
will be greater than in any past year.
There has been a fairly large snow
fall during the winter. which will
greatly add to the precipitation Of
last fall. which in the opinion of old
timers was in itself sufficient to in
ure a good crop during the present
year.
There will be very little titled land
that will be without a crop this year.
The authorities, though, are pleading
with the farmers to seed only such
land as has had careful preparation, for
rich as is the soil of Western Canada.
it is no more fitted to produce good
crops uncultivated than is that of any
other land anywhere else. There
have been accounts Of failures in some
portions of the agricultural districts Of
Western Canada, and also reports Of
small yields in some districts. A good
deal of this is accounted for from the
fact that Notwithstanding the advice
of men of experience. there are farm
ers who will persist in seeding land not
properly prepared. This may be done
this year, but those who cultivate on
reasonable and logical methods will
be certain of a paying crop. There is
every reason to believe that the high
prices of all kinds of grain will con-
tinue.
With thousands and thousands Of
acres of land waiting for the husband.
