she would be glad TO travel to the end
of the line in such good company.
When the train did at last get to the
end of the line, after eight hours OF
travel, the mother took off the three
children that had aroused the appre-
tensions Of the nervous woman. They
were very tired, but still good natured
and ready fer any new excitement that
might appear above the brink Of the
next moment. And the nervous lady
she had forgotten to be worried.

or when staying at home in the city

with the crayons the mother dipped
into her baggage again and brought
forth some "cut-out" pictures, with
two pairs of dull-nosed scissors. Sort
ing the pictures and deciding which
ones were TO be attacked first helped
TO eat up some of the time, and then
they were busy nearly an hour-with
the interruptions at stations and oc-
casional chances at the moving land
scape.
After a short period Of relaxation
the children were again ready TO do
something, and the mother suggested
reading a story. This seemed to meet
with approval, and the mother drew
forth a book; the children selected the
story, and the mother read to them.
They stopped to look at the pictures
and TO discuss the ethics Of Jacks
making way with the Giants wealth,
the elder boy contending that it was
rot really stealing, since the Giant had
taken Il all from Jacks father.
Then the baby awoke and mother OBJ
served that il was time for luncheon.
This was dispatched in happy and
leisurely manner. After luncheon had

also the hand with the pencil on the
other side. This arrangement makes
it easy TO make a copy Of picture on
blank paper, since the process is the
same as tracing the outlines directly.
This was apparently new to the chill
dren, and they went at it with zeal.
They tried first the pictures that came
with the toy and when they tired Of

pictures in the magazines, to see how
they looked in this wonderful magic

fFrom The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, June 27.-The decision
of the United States Supreme Court
knocking out the grandfather clause"
designed TO protect illiterate white men
from the voting tests applied 10
negroes. has encouraged the Congress

it's efforts to have Congress accept the

women on an equality with men at the
ballot box.

Burns, vice-chairman OF the union To-
day. at leaves the state governments
quite free to impose such edueatiohai
tests as they may think necessary; II
merely forbids the exemption OF one
class of voters from tests which are
applied to others.
ave hold that where women meet
fairly and squarely the electoral tests
imposed on men they should not be dis
franchised merely because they are
women. Il is absurd for the United
States government to forbid state to
discriminate politically against negroes
and not to forbid it to discriminate
against women as women. A more open
declaration of the political inferiority
of women as class to negroes as
class could not be thought Of.
"The purpose of our campaign IS TO
demand equal rights at the polls.
There is no reason why sex should
bar a citizen from the ballot. At pres
ent those Southern states which have
adopted the grandfather clause are
forbidden to grant the vote to illiterate
white men unable to meet the quail
fication tests prescribed for the negro.
But they would, under Federal SUI

decided that the grandfather clause

Educators in New York are asking
and answering these questions from
various points Of view.
"Of course, the all-year school is
coming" says Professor James E.
Lough, director of the New York Uni
yersity summer school. "a first class
school simply provides for young peo-
pie opportunities for delightful and
educative activity suitable for their
age.
"If we close these schools in sum-
mer we are locking the children out OF
their world.
Dreary Schools Another Issue.
"Of course if the schools are dreary
and oppressive, if children are driven
TO distasteful tasks, we must close the
schools to give the youngsters relief.
But such schools are unfit for children
for any part of the year.
Consider what all-year schools
would mean to young people!" Dr..
Tough continued. Eight years work
would be done in six.
AT least two years more Of efflcient
life would be given TO every child

Certainly not" DR.. Tough replied

causes the strain upon teachers as well
as pupils.
Too Much Drill.
"Our courses Of study in school are
deadened by this overdevelopment of
drill. The study of a subject which
leads US to understand and enjoy it
according TO our abilities is, strictly
speaking, education. Picking out Of a
subject points which we believe to be
fundamental, like dates in history, for
example, and forcing the children to go
over them repeatedly till they have
memorized them is drill.
Children Bored with Unapplied Knowl-
edge.

the dates when they know them they
are bored and annoyed by repeating
them in the effort TO memorize them.
