COMPR ssSED SCHOOL HOURS

Two Milwaukee women teachers
have been doing some very advanced
thinking and have conducted an ex
pertinent, the results of which offer
great contribution toward the
health of school children. For years
they've been utilizing their oppor'
tunities to observe children and
long ago came to the conclusion
that keeping children in school for
long hours was defeating its own
object. They saw that the pep"
that the children brought to school
in the fall ran out toward spring;
they saw dancing, sparkling eyes,
so characteristic of the beginning
of the schoolrerm, take on an equal
ly characteristic and disquieting
end of-term look in the spring.
This didn't seem right to these
women. Being themselves vigor-
Gus minded they refused to consid-
er it right simply because it existed,
They therefore, began quiet per-
sistent fight for the life Of their idea
that few hours of concentration in
school is worth more than many
hours of time serving.
Conitions favored their radical
proposal to conduct an experiment.
al class in halliday sessions be-
cause the school was oyer crowded
in the primary grades. Their offer

demands without provision of 9th

a roit and we'll timed. Here was {

pupils in return for suspending for
a few months a fixed idea of re-
curing long hours of school attend
ance.
I've had a chance to observe that
experiment closely and | am no less
enthusiastic than the teachers about
the result. l believe that they are
absolutely right when they declare
that not alone can as much as, but
more, learning be accomplished in
a halliday session than in whole
day. What is lost in drill-time is
made up many times over by the
condition of the children's bodies
which are kept vigorous by out
door play. An equally important
factor is that their young minds
don't go stale by being pushed up
to and q little beyond the resilient
point each day. Children's minds
and bodies are not unlike rubber
bands which work best and last
longest when neither stretched too
FAR nor left idle for long in the stor-
age box.
The suggestion this experiment
offers to school authorities and to
parents ought not to be rejected or
accepted because it is new. But If
the proper upbringing of children is
worth any consideration whatever,
the testimony of the two studious,
intellectual, and entirely sane WON
en- deserves to be carefully weig he'd,
sitted and eva1uated by those who
prefer to be right than ortodox.

MUST PAY THE BILL
Even Though Their Tax Limitations
Have Been Reached, Court
OF Appeals.

Municipalities may not avoid liza
bility for damages occasioned by neg
ligence in the care of streets by rea-
son of the fact that they have reached
the constitutional limitation of their
taxes in providing for the ordinary
expensese of government, and the
Court of Appeals refused to accept the
argument that a city under such cir
oumstances stands in the attitude of
an insolvent Judgment debtor.
This point was decided in affirming
the Jefferson Circuit Court which
granted a mandatory injunction, re-
quiring the town of Oakdale to levy
special tax to pay a judgment of ST.
900 awarded the estate of Clarence
Sanders, killed in an accident caused
by defective street.
Execution on the Judgment was re-
turned mo property found" and when
suit was brought to require the addi-
tional tax levy the defense was inter
posed that under Section 157 of the
constitution towns the size of Oakdale
are limited to a tax levy of as cents
on the 800, and prohibited from be-
coming indebted in any manner for
any purpose to an amount exceeding
in any year the income and revenue
provided for that year without the as
sent of two-thirds the voters thereof"
II was shown that the as cents levy
is no more than sufficient to care for
the bonded Indebtedness and current
expenses, and asserted that the con-
stitution forbids further levy or in
curing indebtedness.
The court, however, in an opinion by
Judge Settle, held that the Limitations
contained in that section apply to in
debtedness created or attempted to be
created by the municipality by con-
tract, and having no application where
the liability incurred by the munich
pality is for a tort caused by or re-
sulting from it's own negligence. For
neglect of duty of the kind here com
planned of, the city is liable even
though it has reached the limit of
its power to contract debts or levy
taxes To hold otherwise would per-
nit municipalities to take advantage

the CAUSE
Fifty Students In the Lexington High
School viii Fail To Graduate
This Year-"SmOked Up"

At least fifty students in the Lexing-
ton High School will probably fail to
graduate this year on account of the
effects of cigarette smoking was the
declaration made in a communication
from the city school board sent to
George Land, commissioner of public
safety, urging the latter to use his ut
most efforts to enforce the laws pro-
hibting the sale OF cigarettes to min
Ors. II is stated in the communica-
ton that the grand jury found that
cigarettes could be easily purchased
in Lexington by minors, but 1t is sug-
gested that as there is little profit
in selling cigarettes the dealers might
be induced to voluntarily be more
careful in observing the law. In many
cases, the communication recites, the
cigarettes are bought by older per-
sons for boys, but as the law prohib-
its the possession of cigarettes by boys
under Is years. the police might learn
who had furnished the cigarettes by
promising immunity to the boys for
telling.

IMPORTANCE OF AMERICAN IN.
DUSTRY TO BE EMPHASIZED
IN SYSTEMATIC MOVE.
MRNT FOR ITS CON-
SERVATION.

New York, March 27.--Colonel
George Pope, president of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
today announced the Inauguration by
the association of nation wide move
ment in behalf of the industries of the
United States. This is in accordance
with the action of the board of direc-
tors at a recent meeting, when ample
provision for financing and conduct
ing the movement was made. This
campaign is intended to enlist the CO.
operation of all Americans, regard
less of their occupation, age or sex,
and is absolutely without concern as
to their political affiliations In maxi
ing the announcement Colonel Pope
said:
when the great European upheaval
is ended, vast economic, commercial
and financial changes are bound to en-
sue. In this international adjustment,
the stability of American industry can
be maintained and promoted only by
the intelligent and concurrent action
of all our citizens, Independent of age,
sex or political affiliations Our pur-
pose is fundamentally patriotic. The
problem involves equally the worker,
investor, merchant, manufactures,
farmer and every one directly or indi-
rectly concerned in our national indus
trial welfare.
1T is high time that employer, en-
ployee and capitalist should compare
notes on our industrial and CONNER
cial outlook. Joint action is absolute
ly necessary if we are to preserve the
sovereignty of our business and the
welfare of the millions of our citizens
who are its beneficiaries. The best
thought, the wisest counsel. must unite
and determine broad plans for indus
trial security.
IN such a crisis, those who would
attempt to humiliate, harass or en-
barrass patriotic American business
men, should be rebuked by an indig-
nant public opinion. The gravity of
the situation is too great to tolerate
attacks by jealous incompetents and
social experimenters.
1T is imperative that we take an in
ventory of American industry and APP
praise what forces are on the debit
and credit sides of the Occount. I'm
der unprecedented conditions that
now exist, all legislative action de-
signed to Cypress industry should be
halted. From patriotic considerations
alone, all clamor for class privilege
should stop, and all demand to re-
strict the free operation of industry
should cease. Every worker in the
United States-from the humblest
toiler to the highest corporation exec
utive-should realize, as never before,
the imperative necessity for united Of
fensive and defensive action, if our
productive industry and profitable
commerce are to endure. Every en-
ployer in the United States should
inform his workers and associates of
the positive necessity for cooperative
effort to conserve our Industrial re-
sources. II is even more important for
the worker to realize the situation
than for the employer His livelihood
is primarily at stake
