ARTIFICLALITY or MODERN SCHOOLS CALLED SECRET
OF FAILURE OF PRESENT-DAY EDUCATION SYSTEM
H. Which
mht

hour each day is spent in perfect quiet,
to teach the value of relaxation.
Visitors are often surprised that there
is order without discipline, and learning
with so much JOY abounding. That the
school is n success is attested to by the
fact that the scholarship of its pupils
equals. or exceeds, that of the pupils
Of other Buffalo schools, and that many
supposedly unmanageable pupils from
other schools are sent to the Park School
and successfully educated, according to
reports.
I'VE have no trouble because the chill
dren are interested in acquiring an edu-
cation for themselves, instead of having
1t given to them" continued Miss Lewis.
Most schools prevent the acquisition of
the qualities of good ctizenshp-good
Judgment, self-control, assumption Of re-
sponsibility, clear thinking, courageous
action, and consideration for other per-
sons. If children. children. are not
trained to think and investigate for
themselves, when will they learn to think
clearly and independently? Perhaps all
the education that the people of a city
have is aimed to kill all of these things
as early as possible. Study the crowded
conditions of some of our large city
schools and see II that Is not true. The
Park School is attempting to provide
happy. serviceable and efficient citizens
for future Buffalo,"

MOVE FOR WOMAN
CITY SCHOOLS HEAD
GAINS ADHERENTS
Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson,
President Of Severa a |
Club S, Enthusiastically
Indorses "Woman for a
Woman's Job" Idea.

''There is no reason whatsoever why
an experienced woman should not be
elected superintendent of schools"
This statement made today by Mrs,
Cornelius Stevenson, honorary president
of the civic Club and president of the
Acorn Club and the Contemporary Club
and a recognized leader in many phases
of woman endeavor, is regarded as
sure indication that a woman will be
supported by the members of those clubs
for the position made vacant through
the death of the late Dr. William Q.
Jacobs.
1.-THE best person for the position re-
gardless of SEX should be elected said
Mrs. Stevenson. THAT. I think, repre-
sents the attitude of the Civic Club. "
a woman prove the best administrator,
she should be chosen"
Mrs. Stevenson pointed out the excel
lent opinion which Chicago has of its
superintendent of schools, DR.. Ella Flagg
Young.
Doctor Young, who has been teacher
and educator since 1862 is regarded by
many as having been one of the decid-
ing factors for woman suffrage in Illinois
Her record, virtually an unbroken tri-
umph, was pointed to as an example Of
what woman can accomplish In posi-
tion requiring unusual administrative
ability Doctor Young mas been superin-
tendent of the Chicago schools since
August /. 1909. except for a period of 13
days in 1913. when she resigned and was
later triumphantly reelected. She is
prominent in educational and women's
clubs and Is also an editor and author.
Mrs. Stevenson named three Philadel-
phia women who, in her opinion, repre-
sent the highest educational ideals. They
are DIR. Lucy L. w. Wilson. head of the
biological department of the Girls Nor
NAL School; Miss Katherine r. Puncheon,
head of the Philadelphia High School for
Girls. and Miss Margaret T. Mcguire,
principal of the George Washington Pu5-
lie School,
'All three are admirable women. and
all three have made good'" continued
Mrs. Stevenson. Mrs Wilson, in par
ticular, has enjoyed peculiarly excellent
advantages If it came TO a test of prep
aration for the position of superlntene+
ent one would find that Mrs. Wilson has
the best preparatory record.
Mrs. Wilson's training has been rare,
even for a man. She has finished courses
in several colleges and three universi-
ties, besides studying abroad This has

schoolroom When the children needed
cocoa they made it; when they needed
ollcloth-covered tables they covered the
tables. In such work there was n real
motive"
After q year OF natural freedom In
health, scholarship and attitude toward
school as a place of business, the expert
ment was pronounced n success. When
Miss Lewis went to Buffalo she secured
an old estate of about two acres, with
an old home, which was remodeled Tor
Offices dining room and assembly room.
Simple and cheap open bungalows were
built among the trees. The children, VINO
ranged from the kindergarten through
the seventh grade, made oilcloth aprons.
raised chickens, constructed a concrete
walk across a muddy stretch and made
all the simple apparatus for their gym
nasium. A motive was apparent in every
thing they did. Through their games and
work they learned TO. have consideration
for other children, thus making for team
work"
"One of the grades set hen, and when
the chickens were Matched a coop had to
be made" said Miss Lewis. Then they
made a runway The next year the same
children took over the chicken business,
selling eggs and buying feed. They
actually made a profit of more than $40
with nine hens. Can any one wonder why
1t is impossible to punish one of these
children by keeping him in after school!
II have a perfect horror of the typical
domestic science laboratory, where each
girls problem is to cook an onion, make
cream sauce for the onion and then eat
the onion. Our girls planned the entire
furnishing and equipment of our kitchens,
and the food they cook is hungrily de-
voured by the hundred children who stay
for lunch every day. The cooks get the
praise, too, that women get all too sell
dom for n well-cooked meal"
At the table the children sing, II they
care to. and tell narratives, or engage in
an impromptu language lesson, while the
head waiter pupil chosen because of
his merits, directs the other walters,
also pupils in the novel school. One

IMAGINE a school where the children
j rush off eagerly in the morning for
their lessons and must be urged to leave
in tho afternoon!
That is the kind of school founded
and conducted by Miss Mary II. Lewis,
for Ave years a member of the faculty
of the University of Pennsylvania Sum-
mer School. The children figuratlvely
"cry for school," and the Joyousness with
which they attend classes has attracted
the attention Of the leading educators of
the country. For three years Miss Lewis
has been putting the theory of the school
into practice.
Modern schools are too artificial" said
Miss Lewis today, as she watched n
group of her wards engrossed in a
fence" which they were hammering to-
gether at the Newton school, 35th and
Chestnut streets. Miss Lewis is conduct
ing her school of observation and semi
nary in elementary education there. THE
secret of success in teaching children Is
to get away from the artihciality which
surrounds them"
Miss Lewis who is the founder and
principal of the unique Park school, at
Buffalo, N. Y, began the innovation in
primary education by kidnapping" some
school children in New York for the first
experiment.
IT had a theory that something was
wrong with the education Of little chill
dren." she said. "I first came to this
conclusion about six years ago by OBJ
serving the effect that primary education,
as administered in the schools seemed
TO have upon little children. They seemed
10 be missing something vital and i'm
portant. I finally decided to kidnap my
children and take them where they could
have the sort Of environment which they
ought TO have. 1 took them to the
schools roof, where they were constantly
thrown upon their own initiative, free
from the artifcialitles of the modern

She had heard of the outdoor world
from the big rag doll, who, being very
old and quite colorless. was often let on
the front porch or In the hammock. And
the big rag doll, having no beautiful silk

A Corn Holder

There are great many Hastdious
people who refuse corn on the cob be-
cause of the difficulty in eating 1t. Any
critical observer will admit that 1t is
more or less of a revealing operation to
take large ear of corn, or even piece
of one, and navigate it successfully
enough that the hands are perfectly dry
after the performance. Enterprising
manufacturers gave us the new corn
holders a season or so ago. They were
made of plain tin or steel, with sharp
points at either end which are inserted
in the soft fibre of the centre of the ear.
These will keep the hands quite dry, and
are fashioned of bone, plated ware, or
plain material, according to the fancy of
the purchaser.

REDINGOTES AND ADAPTATIONS
OF SAME FOR AUTUMN WEAR

THE popularity OF the
redingote promises
to remain with us until
late in the autumn
to Judge by the num-
ber OF street frocks
which are being shown
by the N e W Y or k
wholesale houses in this
unique design. You VIII
find that most women
favor the one-piece
trotteur for street wear
because II is so emil
nently sane and prac-
tical. And it's just as
comfortable as 1t is
fashionable, so there
are plenty OF argu-
ments in favor of the
redingote,
OF course, each sea-
son brings in its varied
styles in fabric and
color, and fall modes
reflect the best choice
and thought of our
American costumers.

days at the seashore or
in late October on the
street. The material
utilized is fine navy
serge, with a combin-
ing silk in the green
and blue plaid tints.
The style recalls the
redingote, although II
could be traced back
TO the old fashioned
princess gown in this
season OF Tevivals.
The guimpe is made
OF the taffetas, with
large ball buttons run
ming the full length Of
the sleeve. A sort OF
Jumper effect is given

wide armholes are dis
