What of the Gary System?

1t is said by the political gossips that
"the Gary plan must CO." Mayor-elect
Hylan has made no statement regarding
his school policy, but his prediction ad-
vocacy of the little old red schoolhouse
and his attacks on the work-study- play
scheme left no doubt about his attitude
toward this hopeful experiment.
Two events must precede the exit of the
Gary plan, so called. One is a decision
by the Board of Education of seven men,
bers, which the incoming Mayor must
appoint, to abandon the plan as it is at
present operating in thirty-three public
schools, and the extension of it, funds for
which have been appropriated The Sec
end is the provision by the new Board Of
Estimate of funds for new school build
ings and enlargement of existing build
ings, in order TO furnish the seat for each
pupil which the old method of handling
classes necessitated. Now the Board of
Education not many months ago made
demand for s44,0O0,0OO for new buildings
and enlargement of old ones, so that a seat
for each child then on part time might
be given. The city had not such sum
available, and the belief that it never
would have enough money available for
new buildings to make possible the catch
ing up with the part time pupils was one
Of the deciding factors in the experiment
with the work-study-play scheme.
This alternating plan of using school
plant and equipment has not completely
eliminated part time, but it has greatly
lessened it. If the experimental really
does not deserve that Characterization. for
in spite of recognized shortcomings it has
already proved its success-be abandoned.
thousands Of school children now being
taken care of adequately under this
method Of instruction will be thrown back
into the old part time condition. The
contemplated extension Of the plan would
leave only about 1900 children on part
time in the entire city, it has been est-
mated; the abandonment of that extern
sion, even II the work-study-play system
we're retained where it is now in force,
would keep more than 10000 pupils on
part time. The immediate effect Of d tota

US with it. His obvious purpose was only
to contrast the effusive sympathy Of off,
cial Germany to-day with the indifference
and contempt Of the average German be-
fore the war, and for this purpose he drew
on one of the best and most popular Of
the German encyclopedias.
Whether this stupid and offensive Ger
man estimate tallies with his own is be-
side the point, but, seeing he likened one
particularly obnoxious passage to the work
Of "some one on the staff Of the Stats
Zeitung,'" it may be gathered at least that
his approval is not unmixed.
"Ardis" falls into a strange error in
confounding Professor Kuno Meyer with
the compiler of the "Neues Conversations
Lexicon" The complaint against the great
Celtic scholar was founded only on the
testimony of two Of his colleagues, one Of
whom quoted him specifically as saying
that the modern Irish were unfit to govern
themselves and ought to be dealt with as
his own country has hitherto dealt with
the Poles. He could, however, hardly be
guilty of so silly an article as that in
Meyers dictionary.

Savings From Junk
begun.

The suggestion for Junk dictator" or
supervisor of processes for retaining
valuable materials from what has been
heretofore considered waste has been under
consideration by the Advisory Committee
Of the Council for National Defence. 1t is
worthy of serious consideration, indeed Of
favorable reception. One lesson which the
war experience of European nations has
presented to the United States is the neces-
sity for saving, and then more saving
saving in money, in materials, in food, in
labor What is proposed in the suggested
utilization of junk is merely what many
business concerns have been doing, to their
great proft-the utilization Of waste for
by-products. Junk is the nations waste,
cut of which by-products of great value
now can be reclaimed.
This is not mere theory. 1t has been
tried cut and proved in Chicago, not, to be
sure, under commercial conditions or on a
large scale, but sufficiently thoroughly to
demonstrate the soundness of the idea. In
1914 the contract system Of employment Of
prisoners in the Chicago House of Correc-
ton was abolished. Two thousand prison
ors were left practically in idleness, for
the prison industries gave employment only
to few. The superintendent was a man
Of imagination. He noted that junk dealers
were paying higher and higher prices for
waste Of various sorts. He took up the
matter with the heads Of city departments,
ind finally was authorized to buy and sell
the waste of the departments. Electric
light bulbs were smashed and brass, flint
glass fragments and platinum were re-
claimed Conduit wires furnished copper,
lead and rubber. Waste paper, rags, fat,
scrap iron and many other articles pro-
duced a revenue.
The year prior to the trial Of this sal
wage work the city had received $4,000
from the sale Of unclassified junk. The
first year of the systems trial produced
$4,000 credited to the various depart
ments, the city received over $4,000 for
the labor of prisoners and $4,000 was set
aside for the relief Of prisoners families.
One man, mentally defective, maintained
at cost of so cents day, reclaimed more
than $4,000 worth of platinum in somewhat
less than year. Less than one dollar was
invested in his working equipment"
The purpose in this experiment was as
much the reclamation of men as of mate
1ials But if such results in the saving of
materials alone could be produced, the
worth of the scheme as measure of war
saving seems obvious.

Oh. far away is gay Seville.
And far are the hills Of home,
And far arc the plains Of old CASTLE

abandonment of the plan and a reversloh
to the old idea would be to increase
enormously the number of pupils on part
time.
The part time problem is not the only
important phase of this matter, but IL IS
an extremely pressing one. Even more
important is the question Of adequate edu-
cation-of genuine training OF children
for life More and more school experts
have come to realize that the old methods
have broken down, that they have not
been giving the young the actual tooE
learning and the mental training and de-
velopment which they were supposed to
give. In various forms in many cities the
work-study- play plan was evolved and
substituted for the old system, with happy
results. It proved broad, flexible, prac-
teal 1t has not been perfect, of course
but at the worst it has contained the
germ of better conditions, and in general
It has succeeded where tried. 1t has had
TO meet the opposition Of politics, of con-
servatism and inertia, Of teachers and prin-
cipals used to the old, but doubtful OF their
ability to handle the new; but it has made
Roadway in many places.
It would be a mistake-a mistake on
the practical score of providing immediate
accommodations for all pupils, still more
mistake on the score of turning away
from a modern, scientific and workable
theory of instruction-if this plan were to
Re abandoned in New York City. The
Tribune earnestly hopes the new Board Of
Education which will have to make the
momentous decision will prove intelligent
and enlightened enough, and devoted
enough to the city's interests, to continue
the work which has been so successfully
begun.
