Side by side with the names of

according to Michael J. 0'Brien. his
Photographer Of the American Irish His

bers in the clubrooms at 529 Wander
bilt Avenue, Brooklyn. last night. Null
ligan, a spy in the Revolution. was a
tailor who became one of the leading
merchants of the city.
Historians have omitted Hercules
Mulligan's name because of aversion to
the Irish and because they didn't like
his name" said Mr.. O'Brien. 81 be-
lievc when the true facts are made
known he will get his true place. He
was as great as Nathan Hale. bu.
hasn't been made immortal because he

that its adoption in New York schools
would result in religious strife and per-
secution.
/ After saving that 1.-THE genius of our

/ cited the illegal and religious Thanks

Rabbi Silverman said that an evil

question under the old rigid system.
Under the traditional system because
Of the rigidty of the school pro-
gramme children are necessarily edu-
Gated en- masse. Under the Gary plan
the only work that is absolutely COM
pulsory is the regular academic work.
Practically all children do take The
science and shop work, and drawing
and music, but they do not necessarily
take these subjects in the same doses
and at the same time A boy who Is
eager for shop work, but uninterested
in music, can substitute the shop work
for music. 4 boy who has distinct sci
entifc bent can have twice as much
science work as auditorium, or boy
who has a strong artistic gift and n
distinct dislike OF laboratory work may
take drawing instead Of science. Such
adjustments are made, Of course, after
careful consultation By the principal
with the parent and the child. Each
parent can have mis- child's programme
80 arranged that his boy engages in
these various activities when they
mean the most to his individual
growth. This whole question will be
taken up at greater length in later
issue.
