WAR SYSTEM FOR AMERICA

DURHAM. N. C.. Dec. e.-MaJor Cen
eral Leonard Wood. in an address he.
fore the students Of New Hampshire col
lege today on Preparedness, discussed
the Australian and Swiss systems OF
military training and declared that the
Australian system seemed the better fit
ted for American conditions. He said
that "the amazing efficiency shown by
the Australians in reaching Gallopoli
and landing In the face OF perhaps the
strongest opposition that troops had ever
met under such circumstances" merely
illustrated that the United States must
not be lulled into false sense of Sc
curity by the fact that the Atlantic in

To Warn the Lads
Might Put Idea
Into Their Heads

What is the psychology of pedagogy?
Superintendent Graft of the public
schools has sent teachers a circular let
ter calling attention to the annual prac-
tice of boys throwing snowballs at ami
mate objects. preferably peddlers- 1t is
alleged that sometimes the missiles are
loaded.
The superintendent asks cooperation of
teachers in abating this practice.
''of course, as teachers. we will forget
entirely that such thing is possible as
the loading OF a SNOWFALL. The suggestion
offers too dramatic a climax" states the
superintendent In his circular
The psychology of pedagogy is, for ex-
ample: A teacher must bear In mind
that loaded snowballs sometimes are
thrown, but she must not let the child
think that she knows, nor must she de-
clare an inhibition in advance of the ac-
tu0l misdemeanor. The theory is, that to
warn the boys against loading snowballs
would result in increased activity of the
youthful mind and hand.

makes the average pupil gladly re-

formerly.
William A. Writ is the director
and inspiration of the famous pub
lie schools of Gary These schools re-
main open all the year round be-
cause the boys and girls who attend
them are hungry for the kind of
education they furnish.
G1rN children go to school at $3.50
in the morning. They leave between

Writ system a building of given size
will house twice as many pupils as

All day long some of the pupils
are playing in the open air. Som'
of them are in the swimming pool
Some at manual training and other
in the class rooms. Every child ha
