"S. socialized education in harmony

"Qn the other hand, those who oppose
the immediate and wholesale adoption OF
the duplicate plan for the elimination
Of part-time express doubt as to certain
novel features of school administration
which it enbodies, such as departmental
teaching for all children from the first
year through the eighth, instruction OF
groups Of children by pupils instead of
teachers, the grouping together OF young
er and older pupils for auditorium, lab
oratory, and workshop exercises, the sub

the deferring Of scholastic work for

ernoon. They urge that sufficient time
has not elapsed to test the worth of
the scheme.
"A further criticism is that outside
instruction in the home or in the church
is permitted, but that no means is pro-
vided for seeing that such instruction is
the equivalent of regular schooling.
TO this criticism the reply is made
that it would be very unfortunate if the
school undertook to insure that such in
struction should be the equivalent of
regular schooling, for in that case the
school would be supervising religious in
struetion, which the law expressly pro-
hibits. The program simply provides
that the child can be excused during
the day to take private lessons at home
or attend religious instruction, if the
parent so desires These periods are
never taken from the academic work and
therefore do not detract from the regu-
lar work of the school. As in the case
of play and auditorium, it is simply |
time which, in the traditional school, |
the child would spend upon the street. |
What is taught in these outside classes |
and how it is taught is not and should |
not be the concern of the school"
Interest in the Gary plan is by no
confined to the larger cites, Super
Van Sickle finds.
Even in communities where the part
time problems is either less acute or
else nonresident, and where the ex-
penditures for schools have not become
so burdensome as in New York, there
will be decided interest in the Gary du-
plicate plan. This gigantic experiment
in education, now in full operation in
one of the smaller cities and in partial
operation in the largest American NUM-
.ipality, is unquestionably of vast inn
Dortance, yet the changes required in

Why Tolerate Catarrh?

You have noticed. no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the
flow of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find lodg,

catarrh when the cod subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos
trils frequently with solution ofwarm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re-
firing, and take a spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals for one month.
SCOTS acts through the blood to feed

Benefits of Apple Eating.

For everyday eating, the apple has few
rivals among the fruits, and it may be
said with truth that we can eat apples
every day in the year without getting
tired Of them. Certain it is that most
OF as do eat them with relish almost
every day, and the old adage, An apple
day keeps the doctor away" is being
more clearly proven every day.
The food value OF the apple lies prin-
cipally in its acids (of these the most
important is malic acidl and mineral
salts, all of which are invaluable in rid
ding the body of unwholesome aecumula-
tions which develop upon secretion into
very decided poisons. They purify the
blood and give tone to the organs OF di-
gestion Much of the mineral content of
the apple is found in the skin. There
fore, apples should not be peeled before
using. although the skin, like that of all
other fruits should be very carefully
wiped with wet cloth.
Apples are very easily stored during
the winter and require little care if
stored in cool temperature. They
should be bought in quantity-and while
the modern fiat may not be equipped to
take care of barrels of apples like the
cellars of our grandmothers, there is
ample room for box at time, and
bought in this way apples are one of the
cheapest fruits in the market. In buy
ing apples select firm, sound fruit of
good quality.
It is never better than when eaten raw,
but the apple is full of culinary posi-
bilities, which are increased in number
each year. As accessories, too, TO other
foods they have & very definite value.

Governor Capper Praises
His Efforts for
Peace

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 3.-President VII

He was greeted with salute of 2
guns and escorted by state troop
through the principal streets to the resi-
denee of Governor Capper, whose CUES

an audience in the auditorium.
The president was met at the station
by Governor Capper, Mayor House Of

For the first time on his present tour
the president participated in long
street parade, lasting 45 minutes.
Governor Capper, introducing the pres
ident to the 6000 persons gathered in
the municipal auditorium, praised him
for keeping the United States out OF
war, but added "many of us are not in
accord with the program OF vast arma
ment.' He continued, 1--WE welcome the
fullest discussion"
Governor Capper declared the presi-
dent had spoken for peace 'as we would
speak for it. He has steadfastly kept
us out of the terrible conflict in Europe.

WITNESSES
ARE ARRESTED
Two Negro Women Accused
of Perjury in Mohr
Case
THEY TRIED TO SAVE
THEIR BROTHER
Through Alibi for Brown
and Spellman-Are
Locked Up

Providence, r. l., Feb 3.--Mrs. Bessie
Spellman, the wife, and Mrs. Gertrude
Daley, a sister of Henry IL. Spellman, on
trial with Mrs. Elizabeth i. Mohr and
c. Victor Brown, for the murder of DR.
c. Franklin Mohr, were arrested yester-
day on a charge of perjury.
The women had testified at the morn
ing session and had given evidence in
support OF an alibi for SpelIman.
The first intimation by the state that
it was preparing to lay foundation for
perjury charges came up during the cross
examination of Mrs. Daley, who denied
that in a statement to the grand jury
she had declared she did not know what
time Spellman returned home the night
of the killing.
Yesterday she explained that she did
know because she had heard him.
William II. Lewis, of counsel for the
negroes, objected to this line of question
ing, but the court held that it was prop
er as it was the only way by which the
state could attempt a prosecution on
such a charge.
Mrs. Spellman testified that on the
night of the murder her husband, with
whom she was not living at the time,
came to her mothers, home where she was
stopping, and after getting something to
eat went TO his sisters home to sleep.
Mrs. Daley denied nearly all of the
testimony she is alleged to have given
before the grand jury.
Mrs. Edna Campbell, who had already
testified as a state witness, was called by
the defense yesterday.
She testified it was very dark at the
scene of the shooting and that one could
not see blood on the face of anyone at
any distance. George Heals had stated
he saw blood on DR.. Mohr's face from
the forward end of the automobile.
Cecil Victor Brown was called to testi- |
fy in his own behalf yesterday after |
noon. He denied that he ever told George |
Heals that Mrs. AIohr gave him poison |

threatened the doctor, that he told Heal I
