Individual Versus Mass Teaching in the
Elementary Schools" and advocated II
working combination of individual and
class instruction for such institutions.
individual Instruction." he said, "is the
old and tried plan of procedure, while
class instruction Is a relatively modern
invention borrowed from Germany The
strictly individual method involves
waste of time that could not survive un-
der modern conditions, yet mass teaching
lends itself TO routine, the path of least
resistance"
an view of these facts" he continued,
"I heartily indorec the flexible grading
taking the place of the rigid classification
of the former day-thc extra teacher for
instruction, the shifting group
plan of class management, the supervised
study period and the individual record OF
attainment I'm the classroom"
This evening a dcClamatory contest will
be held in connection with Schoolmen's
Week at the Asbury Methodist Episcopal

CHIEF AND 6 FIREMEN
SEVERELY BURNED
Men Refuse to Leave Scene of
Blaze After Store Ceiling
Falls Upon Them.

Battalion Fire Chief Hugh CoEan and
six firemen were severely burned about
their heads and faces this morning while
lighting a fire in Brdesburg. Chief Col
gan was the most seriously injured. He
refused to so to a hospital. and, after re-
ce!ving temporary treatment remained
on the scene and directed the hremen in
their work. The other men are Russell
Stackhouse Charles Weiser and William
Mcknight, OF Engine Company No. 7, and
Albert Broadbent Sylvester Lelby and
Harry Shultz, of Engine Company No. H.
They were also treated at the fire.
The chief and firemen were engaged in
eXtlnguishing a blaze In the religious sup
ply store of Joseph Wesotowski, Almond
and Orthodox streets, when the ceiling
of the storeroom fell upon them. Other
firemen helped them to get out of the
building and beat out the flames that en-
veloped their clothing.
The fire destroyed the stock of Weso-
towslSs store, entailing a loss of about
$1,000, and damaged the contents of the
basement of the building, which was oc-
cupled by the Polish American Citizens
Club. The loss to the club Is said to be
about $1,000. which, with damage of about
$4,000 to the building, brings the total loss
to 5000,
Although Wesotowski had at first
thought the fire was caused by enemies,
it is believed that it was started by an
Overheated stove, since no person was
seen near the building previous to the
discovery OF the fire, and "A large hole
burned near the stove indicated that the
blaze had started there.
