COOPERATIVE PLAN PRE-
SENTED TO SCHOOL BOARD
Funds and Equipment for NeWark School in
Return for Teacher Training PriDiege

proXimately eight weeks, all of her
work being under direct supervi-
sion and subject to the approval of
the supervising principal and the
members of the local Board of
Education"
In a discussion following Dean
Robinson's proposal on Thursday,
number of points were made
plain. In response to the query
What will the College expect
in return for the $500 paid
ward the superintendent's
salary?" it was stated, "The col
lege wishes to afford an opportun-
ity for the students to come in con-
tact with a we'll trained, practical
man; to provide the privilege of
discussing courses of study, equip
ment for schools, and questions of
dicipline with him; and the oppor-
tunity to attend his teachers meet
ings. In return for the $500 offer
ed for training teacher salaries, in
the various grades, the College
will be compensated by the privi-
lege afforded the pupils of witness
ing the theories they have studied
in practise. The plan as proposed
here has been tried this year. in
the eighth grade, where Miss
Snyder is in charge. Both parents
and pupils are loud in their en-
dorsement of the result.
The plan proposed, it was ex-
planned, will bring to the school
$2500 worth of the most ap-
proved supplies and equipment
such as supplementary reading
books, charts, maps, globes, refer,
ence books, etc. The object of the
College in placing these, it was
stated by Miss Rich, is to bring the
students in training in contact
with the best type of school ma
terial and to give them working
standard.
In contrast to the advantages af
forded by the proposed plan the
question of distance from the cen
ter of town to the Annex, the ex
penditure for equipment, the in
stallation of drinking fountains
toilets and janitor service wer
discussed. The matter was takel
up at an adjourned meeting hel,

MUSIC WORK
DEMONSTRATED
Interesting Afternoon at the
Clubhouse

That splendid results in music
instruction have been accomplish
ed in the school during the year
just closing was illustrated last
Monday at the New Century Club.
Groups of school children under
the direction of Miss Shepardson
were present, and gave exhibitions
of actual class room work. In the
first grade work the director dem
onstrated the teaching of the scale,
and the idea of rythm. A number
of simple folk songs and dances
were given, in a manner that de-
lighted everyone. with the second
grade Miss Shepardson demon
strated exercises in rythm and the
children sang a number of folk
songs. A feature of the part of
the program provided by this grade
was the duet by Dorothea Rose and
Tom Young, the latter singing a
second part with ease and accur-
acy. The third grade pupils sang
songs more difficult.
Pupils from the sixth grade IL
Illustrated the work in sight read
ing, including two part songs
Eighth grade pupils read music al
sight, the teacher conducting the
work as class in the school room
High School pupils illustrated
the more difficult work. The first
NUMBER beautifully rendered, was
a three part song, set to the music
of Greeg's Morning Mood" ant
the second a trio of girls voices
rendering one of Brahms Hungar
ian dances.
Mrs. c. o. Houghton, in a shor
talk referred to the work accom-
plished in the two years that musit
has been in the local schools. TIL
children throughout the grade
have learned to sing in sweet
musical tones; they have learne'
to love a better grade of music
and their interest has been stirre
IN musical things. Mrs. Houghto
related an instance of seeing chi
,, dren on the street conductin
music classes, the staff havin
been drawn with chalk on the side
walk.
Owing to financial condition!
whether or not music shall be cor
tinued as a part of the school cul
! riculum is an open question at. tn
Board meetings, and an expressio
from taxpayers is at all times we
I coined by the members.

PHOTOGRAPHS FROM
THE BELGIAN FRONT
Miss Wander Filler Describes
Conditions

Miss Hendrika Wander Filler,
daughter of the chaplain to Queen
Wilhelmina Of The Netherlands,
who visited America two years ago
to raise funds for relief work,
spoke at the Newark Opera House
last Wednesday. Miss Wander
Flier'on her first visit, collected,
unaided by any committee $4,000
for relief work. During her brief
visit here she spoke ninety times,
spent thirty nights in sleeper.
She left Holland again last Febru-
ary and on this visit working with
the Holland-American Relief Com
mittee to assist her, she antici-
pates greater results.
Miss Wander Flyer shows slides
following her talks on conditions
| in Holland. The slides are actual
photographs taken by an English
man during the first days of the
war when the distressed Belgian
population were fleeing into Hol-
land. The photographer was kill
ed and the film taken from his
dead body. Miss Wander Filler
purchased the film from the Ger
man government.
"My whole country" Miss Van
der Filler said, ''is no larger than
the state of New Jersey, and the
population of New York. In
my home city we have 100000
, Belgian children, 600 French
children, 1000 English soldiers, be-
sides German prisoners, German
, ladies married to English men, all
the people that Germany doesn't
want, and England doesn't want.
E We have, to take care of $4,000
Belgian widows, widows with four,
five, six, seven, sometimes nine
, children. The population of one
town increased overnight from TO-
600 to 100000.
, Miss Wander Filler exhibited the
: model of College which repre-
n sents the plan for which she is
e working. Holland has set aside 9
f tract of land upon which the col.
= leges can be erected, the colony tc
d become the home of the Belgian
h widows. The little homes are de.
+ signed for the mother" and sever
h orphan children. 1t is estimated
r that $4,000 per year will maintain
/ one child. Miss Wander Filler asks
:. churches, schools, societies and in
p dividuals to adopt one Belgian
e orphan, pledging the $4,000 th'
t. child's maintenance.
= The Women's College responded
y to the plea by pledging the neces
sary funds. Other local societies
