NEW YORK oct. 17.-Repeatedly as
sorting that he could not get a hearing
IN the newspapers. Thomas w. Churchill
former President Of the Board Of Edu-
cation, attacked Mayor Mitchell and the
Gary system last night at the Labor
Temple. 18th street and Second Avenue.
II broke with Mitchell over the Gary
idea and the fatuous. foolish notion of
putting military training into New York
schools" said Mr. Churchill.
He described his ten days trip to Gary
with Mayor Mitchell in the spring of
1914 and asserted that he came back
enthusiastic over two features he had
seen in the Indiana schools. These feat
ures were large grounds and the group
ing of elementary and high school
classes under one roof, so co-ordinating
the studies.
There are good features in Gary"
Mr. Churchill said, but they didn t
bring them here. Wirts work in New
York is best represented by School No.
AS in the Bronx. which isn't finished yet.
when the European war broke out the
Mayor said. Here's a chance TO cram
the children in the schools and appear
to economize He changed the Gary
plan from ono Of efficiency to economy
Mr. Churchill read a letter sent him
by Mayor Mitchell an September, 1915.
expressing satisfaction that the Gary
system permitted economy and "iucress $
cd educstio efficiency at the same
time
THAT last phrase is thrown in for
good measure" commented Mr.. Church
H. we condemn the system and we
see II chasing A child from teacher to
teacher when II ought to be mothered;

Mayor Mitchell Of New York, indie
