INDIVIDUAL TEACHING
NEEDED IN SCHOOLS
Few Children Profit From Mass
Instruction and Quit Glasses
Too Early

Most school children are too individuallstiC
TO profit greatly from mass instruction and
have not been made TO appreciate the value
OF education. For these reasons many of
them leave school here as soon as they get
through the sixth grade.
This is the conclusion drawn by the White
Williams Foundation for Girls, in its 18th
annual report, from the fact that in one year
the Board Of Education issued 1888 employ
ment certificates to 55IS children in Phil
adelphia public schools
Economic reasons also are often respon-
sible for children quitting school too early.
and for these the foundation Is endeavoring
to provide scholarships
Five children had seven certificates each,
showing that they had changed their work
that number of times during the first year
Of employment. Sixteen changed their post
tonS six times
one boy holds a record of seven certificates
in six months and no progress registered.
Another had seven jobs in nineteen weeks.
ftfty-tve per cent of the boys and girls
applying for employment papers had COM
DIetod only the sixth grade in school. the
minimum requirement. Many quit school on
their fourteenth birthday and one-thIrd OF the
total number left before they were fourteen
years and two months old
These statistics are for the year 1915 the
first year Of operation OF the present child
labor law, and the year before the war, when
conditions were nearly normal, and war
wages for unskilled work did not add another
attraction to leaving school.
What Foundation is Doing
The White williams Foundation, formerly
the Magdaen Society, offered the help Of its
organization to the Bureau of Compulsory
Education in order to solve the problems OF
employment and to guide the children into
positions with a future.

WON'T BUILD NOW
Holy Name Church Buildings
Held Up by High Costs.
Houses for Priest and Sisters
Have Been Planned.

Industries are not the only things
being affected in Topeka by high ma
terial and labor costs. With two stories
of its school building completed, the
construction program of the Holy
Name church, Tenth and Clay streets,
has been suspended indefinitely
Father M. G. O'Leary, pastor of the
church, said today: I'VE will not at
tempt to do anything under present
prices"
The two-story building now COM
pleted is being used as a combination
church, and school. The complete
plans of the church. as they now stand,
call for the addition of third story
to the structure, the erection of a
handsome and imposing church, and
also priest and sisters houses.
The church and school site is To-
Gated on the northeast corner of the
street. The property on the northwest
corner has also been purchased by the
church and will probably be used for
the priest and sisters houses. Father
O'Leary is now living at Ninth and
Clay streets. while the sisters. and
teachers in the school are staying at

HINGES ON SOVIET
Question of Future Rule of Ger
many Will Come Up.
Is "der Tag" on Which Hun
Prospects Are Determined.

Paris, April S-This is "der tag"
on which the future of Germany may
be decided.
Advices from German and neutral
sources indicate the question of
whether Germany is to continue its
brace Bolshevism hinges largely on
the action of the soviet congress which
opens in Berlin today. The Scheide
mann ministry has granted further
concessions to the radicals, but is rep
resented as determined to resist with
all the force at its disposal any further
political encroachment on its powers.
While announcing formal accept
ance of the plan for establishment of
q national soviet as the third branch
of the legislative department, the gov
eminent was completing its prepara-
ton under War Minister Noske for
meeting force with force. Every mill
tary precaution. according to the latest
dispatch. has been taken both in Ber-
lin and Weimar.
When Shall Revolt Be:
The Spartacans, while laying plans
early last month for third revolu-
| ton, were divided as to. whether the
uprising should be staged the first
week in April or should be deferred
until after the soviet congress, when
it was expected the less extreme radl-
Gals among the workers would be
brought to the proper frame OF mind
for joining the REVOLT
Since that time certain develop
ments have had their influence on the
Spartacans' schemes. The general
strike now spreading to all parts of
the country was seized upon as the
means for the decentralizing the gov
ernment's military precautions AS
result the Spartacan revolt. instead OF
brea king out simultaneously thruout
Germany, has developed slowly in
scattered uprisings in widely scattered
communities.
Spartacan leaders, according to the
best available information, hope thru
the influence of their agents in to-
days meeting to inflame the workers
and weld all factions into a single
campaign for the overthrow of Pres
ident Ebert and Chancellor Scheide-
mann.
The government apparently has as
sumed an attitude of hands off" to-
ward the soviet congress unless politi-
cal incendiarism actually develops
if it does deveIop-and then Noske Will
strike quickly and with every force at
his command.
garded as having no little influence
on developments in the other parts of
Germany. Apparent success of the
new soviet revolution in Munich Is
expected to hearten the Spartacans
and probably win them many recruits
from the less courageous, though
equally dissatisfied elements in Ger
many.
No confirmation has been received
of the rumor of a counter revolution
in Hungary and dispa tches from Bud
apest filed yesterday, mention no un-
usual developments. The dispatches
further describe a conference between
General SHUTS and Foreign Minister
Bella Kun, who was supposed to have
been assassinated in the overthrow of
the government.
Hungary, it would seem, is thus'left
to conduct its communists propa ganda
SO successful in Bavaria and which Is
now expected to be directed strongly
at other German states, as it is being
done in Austria.
