TNHERE Is nothing wrong with the
L schools. This Is the general answer
Of very large majority of those best
In position to know from intimate rela-
ton with the schools. the teachers OF
high and low classifcations, to the critics
who say the school system Is awry, dis
jointed, minus propulsive power and
smooth-running mechanism, who charge
In short that the system Is "all wrong"
That Is. there is nothing much wrong.
This modification IL needfui in view OF
the fact that nearly all teachers, prin-
cipals and high school professors. who
contributed to this investigation, were
candid in admissions that here and there
methods. operations and customs might
be changed and possibly bettered, but
were emphatic In the statement that
their suggestions covered easily rectin-
able matters and that basically the
schools were adequately performing their
function and showing self-evident re-
suits.
Confirmation of the justice OF this
general defense entered by the teachers
was afforded from another source. II
was not deemed sufficient to make them
the judges In case In which their
endeavors and accomplishments were the
issue.
BUSINESS MEMS VIEWS
Business men. professional men and
college professors were asked for a
verdict on the products of the public
schools and their personal experience
was preponderantly that the schooling
of Philadelphia's boys and girls aver
aged very high. Here and there a busl-
ness man was found who invelghed
against the poor spelling or dabstering
at figures of some Office boy. junior clerk
or other employe just out OF school, but
none could be found who would con-
denim the schools unqualifiedly on this
account As one said. the trouble prob
ably lay with the indocile character OF
the lads In question or their constitu-
tional inability to master a certain sub
| ject. possibly with the negligence or In
diligence of their parents. rather than
with the teachers or the teaching. This
theory was confirmed in two offices by
records Of half dozen boys over a
series Of years, in which trained capa-
bility and excellent preparation, better
than expectation, were assets OF most
| OF the boys concerned
! Parents who were consulted In general
expressed satisfaction with the kind OF
education their offspring were receiving
though some felt that there were too
many books and too much home work
and two were frankly Of the view tina,
too much responsibility and participa.

been an evolution; n retrogressive recon-
struction flying in the face of results

AT NAVAL PRACTICE

A stricter ban of secrecy than is
usual during the preparations for a
game against West Point, went into
effect yesterday afternoon while the
midshipmen engaged in football prac-
tice and worked on plays which they
will use against the team of the Great
Lakes Training Station here on No
yember %. This afternoon, those who
were allowed near the field we're limit
ed to naval officers and midshipmen,
other members of the service and civ
ilians being strictly barred. The rule
was thought to be necessary as naval
men connected with the Lakes Station
or interested in them, could easily be
present at practice to get all the
points they could. The rule will prob
ably be continued during the whole

cured for Thanksgiving Day or No

cagoans may end the season. The
squad is now in good condition, though
