ATTACKS Class
DISTINCTIONS
Devine Talks Against This
in London-Others Would
Displace Languages.

London, Feb. 2S.-(Corresponden
Of the Associated Press ).-While 9TH
er educational reformers are striving
to displace Latin, Greek and the old
non investigating methods of study
with science and modern 1angua ges.
Alexander Dcvine. headmaster of
Clayesrnore school, Winchester, has
come out with an attack on class dis
tinctions in school life.
The English elementary and pre-
paratory boarding schools, known
here as public schools, are the main
prop of the aristocratic system. 1t is
necessary that the students of these
institutions belong to the gentry, while
the free schools are left for the sons
the public schools that give the Eng
lishman Of the better class the man
ner that is his special distinction. To
come from a public school almost set
ties the young Englishman's status
in society. Positions in official life
and the dignified branches of COM
mercial life above the menial, are
largely limited to public school mon.

to gather together those of q good
class socially. The name counts
much as membership in college fra
ternity does in the United States. with
the exception that it carries weight
among all classes Of people in Eng
land
Professor Devine said he viewed
with deep concern the widening Of the
gulf between class and class. which
was becoming peculiar to England
above all the nations Of the world,
and showed itself strongest in the
matter Of education.
'sThe uppeTt Or so-called governing
classes" he declared, hold strongly
to their own institutions of prepara-
tory and public school. and aristoc-
racy shields itself under an attitude
Of superiority Of blood, breeding and
tradition.

past all aid until the block of ico

Normal school, died after brief ILL
ness from pneumonia. Her parents.

A WRITER OF "REAL
 LIFE" STORIES

Fannie Hurst. who has won wide fame as a writer of short stories was born in St. Louis twenty-seven years ago today, Oct. 19, 1889, and has been writing fiction ever since she gradu- ated from Washington University seven years ago When she took up the literary game" Miss Hurst de- cided to get a real insight into the lives of the people she sought to DOT tray, instead of depending upon her imagination. In this she displayed great originality, for magazine edi- tors say that the average novice in short story writing seeks to- introduce into his tales scenes, characters and modes of life of which he knows nothing. The shop girl with literary aspirations almost inevitably chooses a Fifth avenue mansion for her miss en scene. The wild and woody west, the Canadian wilderness, and the equatorial jungles appeal strongly to the aspiring author who has never been beyond Hoboken, while the gay life of Broadway is described by many would-be writers who. in their native environment, look upon a man from Chicago as an easterner.
 Miss Hurst entertained the novel idea that the best preparation for a story of stage life was to live in i'm innate companionship with the chill
 dren of the stage. When she decided to write stories about shopgirls she didn't rely upon her imagination to provide the raw material, for her tales. but got a. job as a '"saleslady'' in a department store. When a wait ress in a restaurant was to be her heroine, she found employment in that humble capacity When she sought to gain an insight into the lives, thoughts and ambitions of the human material that pours into the American melting pot, she adopted the expedient of making trip across the Atlantic in the steerage.
 Miss Hurst's success holds a les son for all who seek to see their names in the popular magazines. It is probable the world has lost thous- ands of interesting stories because candidates for literary fame have be- come discouraged after vainly try ing to dispose of stories based pure ly on halting imagination. It is only the genius who can ignore real ities and despise personal experience and still achieve permanent success as writer of fiction.
