NEW YORK's GARY SCHOOLS.

New Yorkers continue to urangIe over the merits OF their Garyiz
schools Mr. Wirts plans already loom up as me of the big issues, in II
municipal campaign, and if the system is to continue in the metropol
Il means Mayor Mitchell will have 10 be reelected. There arr varyl
q to the efficacy OF the Garyized schools. and one enthusiast no
says New York has better Gary schools than Gary has herself
How q New Yorker views their operation is shown Ii the foloVfI
to the editor of the world:
In your issue Of July 80 you print a letter from a Mrs.
Harris IN answer to a letter Of mine about the Gary schools
which appeared previously in your columns She asserts that
every mother would love to have the Gary system IS it is
worked in the vest and then goes on to say that New York
is getting only a duplex system as She terms il, which is
injurious to the children because they have 10 school desks or
wardrobe and have 10 carry their books and wraps with them
and keep marching every fifty minutes
Mrs. Harris cannot have kept closely in touch with the
Gary plan as it is being adopted in our New York schools or
she would know that in all New York Gary schools children
have school desks a IS long as they an use them. AS for car
pfng their books and wraps, this is true in only a few Of the
schools where lockers have not vet been provided, and is only
a temporary inconvenience. AS for the frequent changing Of
classes, it is interesting to know what two Of the principals
who have taught longest in New York Gary schools have X say
on the subject Both Mr. Patri of P S. As, the Bronx. and Mrs
Ritter Of P SO, Brooklyn, assert that there is no more moving
about under the Gary system than under the present system.
According TO Mr.. William P Mccarthy, assistant director
of the division of duplicate schools of the department of educa-
ton, New York has better Gary schools than Gary itself, Mr.
Mccarthy makes this statement after returning from a trip TO
Gary. where he made 2 careful study of the schools there
If Mrs. Harris really believes in the Gary plan as ii works
in Gary, surely it would be foolish for her to fight the plan in
New York. Why not use that energy in helping New York to
get the real Gary plan. She can begin with P. s. ITO, where
her children attend. That is not yet a Gary school

Dandruff Soon
Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick.
beautiful. glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
= It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandrun is to dis
solve it, the-l you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of or
binary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hun
bred times better You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. 1t is in
expensive and four ounces is all you
will need, no matter how much dan
druff you have. This simple remedy
never fails.-Advertisem

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
WeIl-kEown local druggist says every
body IN using oId-time recipe of
SAGE Tea and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, duh and
lifeless. is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dcr'- and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men
who value that even color, that beau
tiful dark shade of hair. which is SO
attractive, use only this old-time re-
cipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug store
for a 50-cent bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally. so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications. it also
brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives it an appe@ra of album
dance.
Wyeth's Sage ard sulphur Com

impart color and a youthful appear
anee to the hair. 1t is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or prevention
of disease.-A6vertisen

Washington, d. G., April 6.-An
overwhelming majority of letters

Washington which come from pastors

against declaration of war, but Rep
resentative Anthony of Kansas, has

noteworthy exception to the rule. from
Rev. ]. E. Ingham of Topeka, Kansas,
who is state Sunday school superin
tendent of the Congregational church.
Rev. Ingham shows that he is not
only a militant defender of the faith
but also a militant defender of his
country, which he says has gone the
limit and far beyond it to avoid war
with Germany and he quotes Luke
XXI, SO in justification of his atti-
tude:
take it, and likewise his scrip; and
he that hath no sword let him sell his
garment and buy one
Commenting on this verse Rev. Ing
ham says: The context shows that
in the last extremity disciple of
Jesus is justified in even selling his
garment to buy a sword to prepare
for war
His attitude in the pending crisis is
expressed in the following language:
Americas extremity has come. We
have gone the limit and far beyond it
to avoid war with the Prussian hordes
who rule Germany. 1t is not Germany
of the Assyrian barbarism: it is Prus-

Students Feel Injustice Is Being

The lower classmen of Washburn
who respond to the call to arms Will
receive practically no announcement
from Washburn, according to the &C
ton recommended by the board Il
trustees IN their meeting Thursday
afternoon. Those who are called out
will have the privilege of taking ex-
aminations over the full terms work
when they return, this plan suggests.
The seniors who would graduate this
spring, however, will receive their di-
plomas without taking the final eX-
aminationS.
President Womer, of Washburn, has
been awaiting a suggestion from the
trustees for the last three weeks. He
felt that any allowances should first
be sanctioned by them. The plan ad-
vanced by the trustees will be taken
up at the next faculty meeting of the
Washburn professors which be held
next Thursday.
until some definite plan has been COM
pleted by the faculty. A committee
was appointed Thursday by the direc-
tors to frame a policy for the school
The committee consists of President
Womer as chairman, and DR.. w. >.

members. I'VE ask that no student of
the school enlist IN any organization
until the policy we are now working
on is completed and is announced"
said President Womer this morning.

The students feel that the allowance
J is too small and are far from satisfied.

said today:
From the appearance of the world
war situation, number of Washburn
! college students will have to leave
school Immediately in response to the
call to arms. 1t strikes me that these
students should have their credits for
this term. Other colleges do it that
way. but Washburn seems to be hold
ing out. President Womer gives the
boys no satisfaction, saying the board
of trustees must pass upon the matter.
