The One-Session Question

The following communication comes
from one of the pupils of the Mount
Holly high school and probably ex-
presses, on some points, the feelings of
parents, teachers and pupils. The
letter says:
Mount Holly, N. J., April ID. 1919.
Editor Mount Holly News.
Dear Sir:-In regard to the article
concerning the one session day, /, as
one of the students of the Mount Holly
high school, wish to say that the opin
ion in general is that the one session
system is the only one to be used in
high schools This system is used sue
cessfully in practically all high schools,
and if the system were not good one,
it would not be used so extensively.
Before this system was considered by
the Mount Holly board Of education,
parents were requested to write notes
stating their views on the subject.
Ninety-nine out of hundred advo-
Gated its adoption. This system would
not do for the younger pupils in the
grammar and primary departments.
Since the grades are dismissed only
ten minutes later than the high school
the difference in time OF the beginning
of their lunch periods is not so great.
Why should the parents object to the
system There is no legitimate reason.
Better results are obtained from
students in afternoon classes, and
they have practically all the afternoon
To themselves. The system has sue
ceeded elsewhere, and it should here.
Yours sincerely,
Royle w. Eddy,
M. HI. Fl. 8. 20.
While agreeing in the main with the
suggestions above we cannot coincide
with the idea that the lower rooms are
not entitled to some consideration on
this point. There appears to be prev
valent opinion, in some circles, that
there is nothing to our school system
but the high school. This Of course
is delusion. The young correspon
dent is an only child, hence the incon
venience of getting meals for one chic
and then getting ready a half houl
later for another is not noticeable in
that particular family. There is no
any good reason why the high
school should lbe given special priv
leges, while the younger children, whit
need just as much extra concessions a
the others, should be excluded. If tn,
system is good for one class it is goot
for another. Our correspondent say
"better results are obtained from stu
dents in afternoon classes" If thi
is so, why not keep the high school a
work in the afternoon We think tn
system now enjoyed by the high schoc
should be given to all. There shout
not be any partiality or special elias
legislation in this matter.

Delegate Makes Speech That Coasinces Audi- ence at Prince William
 Sound City.
WILL LEAD BY 500 VOTES
Those Who Know Confi- dent SuIzer Will Carry All Parts 3rd DviSi0n;
 Have Big Majority.

VALDEZ, Oct. 21. Delegate Charles A. Sulzer held great meet ing here Saturday night. He ad dressed one of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences that ever as sembled in this little city. The largest hall in the city was packed to its full capacity.
 Delegate Sulzer rendered com plete account of his activities at Washington in behalf of Alaska. He was frequently interrupted by pro longed applause, indicating that the audience was we'll pleased with the manner and energy shown by the Delegate when looking after Alaskan affairs at Washington.
 He analysed various speeches made by Wickersham in different parts of Alaska, and exposed the fallacy of Wickersham's pretended claims of having worked sincerely for Alaska s while he was in office. He established conclusively from the records that Wickersham during the eight years he was Delegate had been so busy working out his per sonal animosities that he had no time left to devote to needed legislation for Alaska
 He showed up Wickersham's insin- cerity in his claims to favor self government for Alaska, proving by the record that he tried to write an organic act that would not permit the people to amend their election law, or have any power that they could use for or against themselves. He showed that Wickersham had said the people wanted less than any other Territory ever had. and that he was afraid to trust the people
 The Delegate disproved to the satisfaction of all the falsity of Wick ersham's every charge against him.
 Third For suizer By 500
 Those who have made a careful canvass of the Third Division are absolutely confident that Delegate Sulzer will. carry the Division over Judge Wickersham by more than 800 majority. He will carry every in. corporated town in the Division, in cluding Anchorage.
 Delegate Sulzer has covered the Seward and Anchorage regions in his campaign. and left here yesterday for Cordova.

YANKEES MAKE ANOTHER BRIGHT
 MILITARY PAGE
Two Divisions Fight Ger mans Back from Rheims and Are Praised for
 Their Great Work.

WITH THE AMERICANS NORTH OF RHEIMS, Oct. 21.-Another gIor- ious page in American military his tory was recorded in the Champagne battle in which the Second and 36th. American Divisions played a big part, driving the enemy back from North of Rheims, in the face of the most desperate kind of resistance and the fact that the enemy commanded picked ground.
 The 36th. Division entered hard fight without having been under shell fire before and withstood sol idly against bitter counter attacks, refusing to give ground an inch, and advanced five and one-half miles so rapidly, that German counter at- tack planned on larger scale had not time 10 naterialize.
 Gen. MauIe, of the French forces, publicly praised the work of the Americans in his orders of the day.
