High Schools Under the Gary Plan.

MADAM: II you have space and OPP
portunity to emphasize some features
of the Gary plan schools, may suggest
one of the points to be repeated that
the Gary schools do not provide a sep
arste high school building? Your val
liable articles printed in The Tribune
are doubtless being followed by resi-.
dents of smaller towns. In many of
them there is the problem Of building
new or charging present high school
buildings. In our own city some ade.
quate provision must soon be made: two
old small grammar schools which sh1u'd
be abandoned are approximately in tire
same district as our present high

The principal Of Public School 4. The
Bronx. says the Writ plan is n
great opportunity for New York
teachers.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-11-11

here that do not think enough tribute
has been paid TO the splendid service
of the teachers in Public School so, in
Brooklyn, and Public School As. The
Bronx. These teachers are voluntarily
working six hours day without grum
bling, trying to make the plan sue
cess.
zone of the important things about
this plan is that it is the only possib!s
solution Of the question Of teachers
salaries. Teachers are at present piti-
fully underpaid, ard the only solution
is a more economic distribution of
the budget Just as long as huge
sums of money have 20 be spent or
buildings there is little prospect OF
the teachers salaries being increased.
But il you don't have TO spend 20
much money on buildings, and the
Gary plan eliminates this need, there
will be more for teachers salaries
No Children Leaving the Writ School
in Brooklyn for Religious Instruc-
ton.
"The only new element In the Writ
plan is the religious feature. The best
proof that this religious instruction IL
not an essential part of the plan - the
fact that there are two schools in this
city at present running on the Gary
plan, and in one d them, Public School
So Brooklyn, no children at all are go
ing to religious instruction. This point
seems to have been entirely overlooked
in the current discussion of the sub
ject, and il should be a sufficient an
swer to those who fear that the re.
ligious feature is necessary part OF
the plan"
1t is men like Mr.. Hirsdansky, Prin-
cipal Flowden Stevens, of Public School
IA, Angelo Patre and the other Bronx
principals, who are throwing them
selves into the reorganization OF their
schools on the work-study -and-pla
plan with such hearty cooperation, who
give the general public faith in the
broadmindednes and vision OF the
teaching profession. New York IS
fortunate in having such men TO help
direct the destinies OF its schools.

FRozEN coRN MAJ BE USED
Makes Fair Silage Before Stalks Have
Dried Too Much

A Grant county farmer wrote the
state agricultural college about the val
ne of soft corn for sllage and received
the following reply:
''We have your inquiry concerning
corn that is Just in the roasting stare
or in the milk to be placed in the siIo.
Corn in this stage where the leaves
have been frozen will, of course, not
make as good silage as that which has
matured more fully, but 1t can be used
better through the silo with less loss
than in any other way. The silage may
be little sour, but If so the quantity
fed should be smaller. II should go in
TO the silo before the stalks have dried
out too much. If they become dry
some water will nave to be added.
Sour silage is less Objectionable than
that which has become mouldy through
admission of air Or improper packing. +"
Many farmers in our section have al
ready cut and placed their frost nipped
corn in their silos, y lille others have
expected TO do so, but are holding off
permitting ears and stalk 70 further
mature before cutting.
Unless we have three or four weeks
Of warm weather there will be very
little hard or seed corn gathered in
