Miss Olivia Leventritt, Commission
er Of the New York Board of Educa-
ton, said in an interview yesterday:
81 believe that whatever opposition
there is to the Gary plan is in large
measure due 10 misunderstanding. At
first ii was said that the Gary plan
would not give as much chance for
academic work as the ordinary school.
We all know now that that is not so.
Again. the slogan in New York for many
years has been a school seat for every
child and when the Gary plan was
first proposed it was opposed because
it did not give a school seat 70 every
child. Now it is generally recognized
that the Gary plan not only gives n
school seat 70 children when they need
il, but gives them many other things
also. The opposition has apparently
dwndled down now to the question of
auditorium work and play and religious
instruction. The statement sometimes
made in the press that the auditorium
takes the place of classroom work is
not so, and cannot be too often con-
tradicted. The auditorium is a fine
social laboratory for children. As for
play, il is high time that our children
in New York had a chance TO really
play. As too many cooks spoil the
broth, so too many adults spoil play.
Mr.. Wirt's plan is in line with the best
playground tradition. As for religious
instruction, | am In favor OF the pro-
vision made for IL in the Gary plan
because it will keep religion out of the
schools"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-10-21
What the Gary Plan Does.

II takes children Of the streets and
kecps them wholesomciy busy at work,
study and play for six or seven hours a
day.
IL gives all children just as much
academic work as the traditional
school, but b. lengthening the school
DAY ii gives time for practical shop
work. science, drawing, music, audi
forum and play for all children.
What the Gary Plan Means.
To every parent-a chance TO give
his child the enriched educational OPP
portunities usually reserved for the
children of the favored few.
To teachers-no more hours OF
teaching; more congenial work.
To the community-better citizens;
better schools for less cost.

Christ spirit or the Kris Krlngle version.
Never give candy to child" she ex-
horted
Chewing gum as an aid to digestion re-
celved a severe blow at the hands of the
speaker, Chew your food and leave gum
