ASSAILS SCHOOL SYSTEM
Grade Work Is Monotonous, Club
women Are Told

A scathing arraignment of the present
system Of public schools in this city
was given by Mrs. Joseph 7. Mumford,
formerly member of the Board OF Ed
ucation. at a meeting of the legislative
committee of the Philomusian club this
afternoon.
"Two-thirds of the children who leave
school before they have reached the
higher grades. or even high school, are
not forced to do so by their circum-
stances at home" said Mrs. Mumford.
''They do so because the grades above
the fifth are made extremely monoto-
nous, and their surroundings anything
but pleasant. Complaints have reached
the Board of Education on this subject
tut they are never heard of again.,
Mrs. Mumford also said that the sal.
ary OF the teachers should be raised
and in that case a more efficient groul
should be secured, as the present grour
does not measure UP to the proper
standards, she asserted.

that he would telegraph soon for a con-

Mr.. Veeder testified then that he was

today that Mr.. Logan told him Sunday
he had written the Diamond 7" letter,

Questioned ON Secrecy
Asked why the writer wanted the let

an exchange Of kilograms, Mr.. Veeder
said this was because he thought they
might be misconstrued."
He said Mr.. Logan's employment by
Swift & Co. was solely for the
purpose of advising on matters OF publ
city. It was a fact, however. he said.
| that all of Mr.. Logan's letters were on
matters other than publicity and that he
always sent gossip or information lie
thought might be useful
| Senator Norris suggested that Mr..
Iogan's letters in themselves appeared
to be the opposite of giving publicity
to matters. Mr.. Veeder said 1t was
true all packers had advertising and
publicity staffs, but that Mr.. Logan was
employed because he was considered an
| expert.
Mr. Veeder knew Of no reason why
Swift & Co. should conceal Mr.. Logan's

was because Mr.. Logan thus would be
better able to get information in Wash

on Against Bolshevism

To help meet the menace of Bolshe-

serious problems of radicalism in the
country, a truly democratic national in

ricula of the secondary schools.
This opinion was expressed this after

the William Penn High School, at a
Spruce street. :.
I'VE should evolve an intelligent basis
for the teaching of democratic prin-
cipies to the bows and girls in the high
schools" he said, land we should then
apply these principles through the ef'
fective organization and administration
of the school itself
I'VE should have some course In the
high schools which would show the
youth Of the land the right and th'
wrong Of their attitude toward the pub
lie and civic questions. They should hav'
a conscience based on intelligence II
