MEMS CLASS AT NORMAL.
Twenty Enrolled Are First Fresh
men to Be Admitted

For the first time "freshman"
class of young men has been admitted
to the normal school, Thirteenth and
Spring Garden streets. The Board of
Education is rejoicing over the pros
poets of gainging more trained men
teachers.
The normal school was established
primarily for the training of women
teachers, and for a number of years
the public school system included n
school of pedagogy where young men
were trained. The normal school was
open to graduates of the school of peda :
gogy who wished to take additional
courses. But the number of students
grew so small during the war that the
school of pedagogy was abandoned more
than year ago.
About twenty young men have en-
rolled in the class at the normal school
so far. Their classes will be held sepa
rate from those of the women, for the
most part, as their training will be
somewhat different.
Enrolment figures have not yet been
submitted to superintendents, but Doc =
tor Wheeler estimates an increase of
1000 students in the higher schools.
This is an unprecedented increase, due.
he believes, to the fact that war in =
dustries last year kept so many high
school age students out of school.

CONWELL'S BOOK FOR BLIND
Acres Of Diamonds Will Be Printed
in 'BrailIe' for Soldier

Arrangements are being made today
to print a book in letters for the blind,
which a Philadelphia boy, who lost his
sight while fighting in France, ex
pressed wish to read. He is Lieu
tenant Frank SchOevel. His happiness
will be shared by many others, as the
book printed in "Braille" will be read
by hundreds of the blind.
Lieutenant Schoevel expressed a wish
to read Dr.. Russell II. Conwell' S
Acres of Diamonds" to Miss Baird,
a secretary of the American War
Library Association. AS the organiza
ton has facilities for press work and
binding, but not for ''Braille" printing
Miss Baird wrote to the Rev. William
ID. McCurdy, of the Baptist Temple. At
the service last night Mr.. McCurdy told
of the blind soldiers wish and asked
if any one present would meet the cost
$125, of the needed plates in letters for
the blind.
Homer Toulon, who was in charge oi
the Sunshine Hut in France, offered to
| furnish the money.

Atlantic City boys who served in the

Mayor Bacharach Immediately fol-
lowing a rally of American Legion boys
which Endorsed" the Victory pier
project declared himself uncompromis-
ingly against 'commercializatio Of
patriotism.
Judge White contends a great pier
convention hall to include a shaft en-
blazoned with the names of all the boys
Atlantic City sent to the front and
quarters open always to world war
veterans who come to the seashore, will
be a much finer memorial. He de-
rlarcS the Sterling Reality Company,
which holds the pier property at 5000,
600. is ready to sell it for memorial
pier at $450,O00. and estimates the to
tai cost at $500, 900.
Judge Whites letter disclosed that
legislation covering every phase of the
! Victory pier project was enacted al
Trenton last winter through the efforts
of Underwood Cochran, now city
/ commissioner.

WALTER C. SMITH
BACK FROM EAST
Member Of Relief Expedition
Tells Of Conditions in
Armenia
MANY PROBLEMS TO FACE

Walter George Smith, lawyer and
member of the American committee
for relief in the Near East, is home
after months work in Armenia. He
left this country last February, and re-
turned Saturday TO his home at Torres
dale, having arrived in New York on the
White Star liner Adriatic from South
ampton.
In an interview today he summed up
the work of the commission in Armenia,
and told of the serious problem that
still remains of repatriating the
Armenians. who we're driven out of their
own country by the Turks during the
war and dare not return for fear of
massacre.
Give $50, ,OOO, 900
Through the efforts of the American
committee for relief in the Near Fast,
said Mr.. Smith, "abOut 100000, 900
have been subscribed and paid by the
American pcope. from the dime of the
Sunday school scholar to the hun
dred thousand dollar subscriptions of
wealthy New Workers.
This vast sum has been expended
for food. clothing and agricultural in
struments, as well as medical and hos
pital supplies throughout the Turkish
empire. In addition. Director Herbert
Hoover has appropriated from the
funds allowed him by Congress for the
purpose additional moneys to cover
tho cost of flour, which has been ship
ped to Batoun monthly to the extent of
5000 tons. The navy and army depart
ments have aided the commission
greatly by putting at their disposal
transports which have been taking out
cargoes from time to time, so that it
may be said that the Investments of
the American people for the relief of
the sufferers from the war and mas
sacres in Turkey aggregate S35 900 900
or more.
People Driven Away
Turkish Armenia is almost com
pletely in possession of the Kurds and
Turks. its Armenian population having
been in part massacred, in part driven
south. and in part over the mountains
into Russian Armenia" said Mr.. Smith.
This last named country, the capital
of which is Erivan, has set up pro
visional government and has made some
progress in organization. Its problems,
however, are beyond its capacity with
out foreign help. The scanty resources
of the country were destroyed by the
Turks in their fighting with the Rus
SLAMS at Kars and elsewhere through
out the region.
The British authorities estimate
that 800, 900 Armenian refugees added
to the population to be supported. They
We're driven from their villages over the
mountains. with no possessions virtu-
ally but the rags that covered them.
There was no provision for them. and
the mortality from starvation and the
diseases that ensue from it was very
heavy. During the winter the unfor-
tunate wretches had the added suffer
ings of cold. When the spring came
they were able to get the warmth of the
sun and exc out wretched existence
by cooking roots and grasses"
