Other features of the new styles
that can be gathered from any repre-.
sentative showing, reveal that high
shoes continue to be very high as com.
| pared to high shoes Of few seasons
ago. The fact that skirts have been
heightened little has made no differ
ence. The very high shoe is more trim
than the moderately high shoe and
more practical. The uppers in these
shoes are Of cloth just as often as Of
kid. AS fine kid is not the sort Of
leather that Is needed in the army
there IS no reason why the very high
shoe should not be worn with q clear
conscience. But cloth tops are just as
attractive and Just as desirable as the
kid and maybe little easier to keep
clean.
Oxfords and slippers will divide
honors with high shoes for street and
sports wear this summer. In all Of
them toes are somewhat pointed but
not to the length Of discomfort. Con-
siderable decoration in perforations
appears on all styles Of shoes as may
be gathered from the group pictured
here which includes a high walking
shoe, oxfords and dress slipper The
high shoes are In black kid with com.
nonsense Cuban heel. Wherever
seam Is required for joining the DIFF
ferent parts OF the shoe, there perfor.
atoms occur. And the toes have q
small pattern that is purely decora.

The Oxfords are In tan leather, fln-
ished in much the same way as thu

After travelling 1000 miles to get a
chance to Join the United States army,
Joseph r. Guiteras, a mining engineer,
appealed to Draft Inspector Martin
ConbOy Of New York to aid him to
realize his ambition. Mr.. Conboy gave
him a letter Of Introduction to the
commander Of the Twenty-seventh En-
cheering corps stationed at Camp
Meade.
Guiteras was graduated from the
School Of Mines at Columbia univer-
sity with the class Of II. For the
last two years he has been working
for the Braden Copper company in the
Andes mountains. When war broke
out between America and Germany the
young engineer, he is about thirty
years old, went to the United States
embassy In Valparaiso, Chile. and ask.
ed for permission join the
American forces in his professional ca
pacity. The embassy officials were
unable to make the arrangements.
Then the draft law was passed and
his father, Daniel n Guiteras, former
ly surgeon in the navy. registered
him in Denver, Colo. His brother, Ju-
liam G. Guiteras, went with the expe-
dictionary forces to France. The min
ing engineer finally threw up his Job
and started for the States.

HARTFORD NOT
 FOND OF NEW
 EDUCATION BILL
Knocks District System Sky High and Opens Up Pros
 pect for Morrison.
NATURE OF MEASURE
 ARRAYS OPPONENTS
Project to Let Secretary Hines Down Easy Said to
 Be in Background.

Hartford, Dec. 28- Consid- erable secrecy has surrounded the preparation of a proposed new educational code which was described by The Times Friday as having the approval of Assistant Secretary Morri- son of the State Board of Edu- cation. News that such a code was in state of preparation and as to it's parenthood caus- ed what might be described as Q sensation among teachers and school officials of the state. Briefly stated the code provides for an absolute standardized state sys- tenn of schools, with local control re- duced to as near nothing as possi- 1 ble. There are some things about it which undoubtedly are attractive, | such as the means it offers small 1 towns for getting better teachers | than they are at present able to, and there are other things which
 make it seem extremely unlikely that the legislature will adopt it un- til they are erased, and if they are ! erased the value of the code will be 1 lost in the view of those who have | prepared it.
 | It should be said, of course, that
 the draft which has been prepared is undoubtedly in the rough and
 subject to modification. It is not to
 be regarded as a finished product,
 ready for the vote for the legislators. s One thing the bill would do would
 be. to knock Hartford's district sys-
 tenn 'slzy high,'' for the bill provides
 that each town shall compose a
 sck ool district, it's affairs to be man. aged by Board of Education and a
 superintendent. There is no, provis-
 ion for maintaining present district
 entities or their powers. 1 One thing is certain, namely, that
 this one feature of the bill is suffi-
 cient to array against it every schoo.
 district committee in the state, and
 with school district committees
 against the bill its passage would be
 made most difficult.
 At this time it is easier to discuss
 the chances of the bill for passage
 than to comment upon it's merit
 Perhaps it is sufficient to say that ir
 it's rough form it contains enough features that will tread on different
 groups of toes to make its passage } most difficult if not impossible.
 The fact that the bill has beer : prepared at this time is especially interesting in view of recent rumors
 concerning the State Board of Edu l cation. It has been stated that Sec retary Charles D. Hine was about tt
 be retired and that MT. Morrison
 would be named to succeed him. | viii be noted that the bill provides ) fo1 a secretary of the State ,Boar( of Education, with duties largel! , clerical and a superintendent wht \ shall be the active school head in thu state. The thought suggests itsel l that this arrangement may b.
 planned to provide a convenien 3 shelf for MT. Hine, by continuing = him as secretary of the board, witt S only nominal duties as compared t. f his >presant duties and powers ant e the appointment cf his present as ; sistant as superintendent.
 - It would not be more or less idl y to discuss the bill until its advocate
