Defect i'm Schools
Drives C,hildrento
Work, Says Expert
Laws Regulating Labor and
Compulsory Education
Not Enough to Solve
Problem, He Believes

Dissatisfaction with present schools
is driving children into industry. &C
cording to Owen r. Lovejoy, of the Ma
tional Child Labor Committee. Com
pulsory education laws and laws pro-
hibiting child labor are not sufficient to
deal with the situation, he says.
"All the notable studies made in the
last ten years of the reasons why
children under sixteen go into industry
concur in the conclusion that tho two
main reasons are economic pressure
and dissatisfaction with school" he
said, "and many persons who are in
close contact with these boys and girls
find that dissatisfaction with school is
the more common reason.
"Thc fact is that the typical school
does not hold the interest and al
legiance Of its pupils. We grown-ups de-
fend ourselves by saying that it is all
the children's fault thereby putting the
blame on somebody smaller than we
are, which in this instance is en- unin-
telllgent as we'll as cowardly thing to
do. To accuse children Of q lack of in
terest in school is to accuse ourselves.
If we made the school seem real and
practical to the children it would hold
them, and certainly the school ought at
least to seem real and practical"
Mr. Lovejoy referred particularly to
the cover worked machinery and ma
chine methods" Of the school, "its cut
aDd-dried, traditional curriculum, its
failure TO allow for and provide for in
dividual differences in children, it's
failure to give the work impulses the
same scope in school that the children
seek in other places" and its failure
to give the social instincts the same
scope that they have out on the play
ground.
"A large part of tho difficulty lies in
the niggardly attitude of the public in
the matter Of school equipment and
fair salaries for teachers" he said.
The school," Mr.. Iovejoy continued,
"has been irresistibly driving children
into ndustry~-usually without voca-
tional training or guidance. Industry
has had the pulling power Now We are
engaged in a back-to- school drive,
neccssitated by the enormous exodus
from the schools during the war. But
the school lacks pulling power. and in
scores of towns and citios it is being
found next TO impossible to get any Of
the boys and girls TO return, even
though good many have lost their
jobs 1t would be q great help in the
present campaign, from the standpoint
Of child labor reform, if in addition TO
the driving there could be more pull
ing'-in other words, back -to-school
pull And instead Of trying to build
a fence around tho school SO high that
children cannot jump out, why not
mako the inclosure attractive enough
80 that they will want to stay in? %

statements to the graduates on alumni
day, however. with reference to pro-
fessors' salaries, which he proposed

in "rnc Alumni Weekly" The issue
out to-day says cditorially:

toward Yalc's teachers to say, as Presi-

"Nor do we believe that Yale should

able to supplement their salaries by out

Drama
''Rcd Heart" Seen in Special
Performance at the
Republic
By Haywood Broun

Nlchard Fletcher did not hit the tar
get last night with mis- satirical play
"Rcd Heart" but he was slightly hand
'capped by the fact that he seemed to
have no notion of the object at which
he was shooting. The play was called
"A satire on Bolshcvism." but the
author showed no more knowledge Of
the beliefs Of tho Russian radicals
than the vericst Congressman. Social
ISM, anarchism, libcrt ism, Bolshe-
vism and FREQ love were used bv the
nulhor as practically interchangeable
terms. Thus when tha hero Of tho
piece said to the heroine, 81 want you
70 be my Mistress" she replied, $50
that's your idea Of socialism,"
SATIRE ls an excellent weapon Of at
TACK against foibles, but it hardly
serves It's purpose against things Of
larger scope. Whatever ono NAV think
of the rodicalism now rampant in the
world, he will hardly classify it as A
mere fad. We felt somewhat as if Mr..
Fletcher were throwing egeshells at a
rhlnoceros. He did seek to Justify
the satiric method Of atts cl, by de-
scrlbing the most rampant class of reds
as Naughty children, who want to
burn down the Christmas tree" Some
now we can't make this picture fit
our conception of William Haywood.
Tor instance. In fact, it did not fit
the most rampant radical in the plav.
Gilda Varesi, as Droutschka, gave such
remarkably vivid impersontion of a
Russian revolutionist that she quite
defeated the osteneble purpose Of the
play. Everybody found her SO much
more real than any other character in
Red Heart" that they found it impos-
slble to work up any bitterness against
her plan of gong out to blow up the
railroads. In fact, not a few persons
seemed ready to hand her 8 few home
made bombs il they we're merely per-
mltted to nominate one or two rail
roads on their own account Mr..
Fletcher was also in error in allowing
the only really fervent dcnunciation
of revolution to come r,om the district
attorney. He seemed to be unfamiliar
with the old stage tradition that the
sympathy of an audience is always ex>
tended to the accused ,.Vl never to the
instruments of the law.
Red Heart" has occad dional snatchcs
of good dialogue, but 1t is sngularly
jerky. Mr.. Fletcher, seemingly, forgot
to call in the continuity man when he
yrepared his drama. The play received
much better acting than il. deserved.
Gilda Naresi gave one Of the very best
performances Of the season and Job
yna Howland was able end amusing in
comedy role. Olive Wyndham and
Eugene O'Brien were less effective, but
they had their moments.

On the Screen
Mabel Normand Charms in Isis
Hopkins" at the Strand
Theatre

Styles In plots must have changed
as radically as styles in clothes since
sis Hopkins" was conceived, for at
10 time does Sis look beautiful, and
when she goes to the seminary she
does not emerge In six months all
educated and wearing Paris frock.
Indeed, this Is the first time in the
movies where the heroine has failed
her audience, When we say this" we
arc referring to Mabel Normand's por-
trayal of the title role in the Rose Mel
Vile comedy which is being presented
in screen form at the Strand. Probably
Sis viii not seem as funny to the
present generation as she did when
Miss Melville first presented her, for
we have seen so many limitations of
Sis since. Every comedy has one, only
most comedians are not brave enough
to remain pigtailed and panteletted
TO the end. They must blossom out
with self-satistiod smile which seems
to say: Behold, am beautiful"
''Miss Normand is right in her ele-
ment" Mind you, that is not our
verdict, but it IS the opinion which
is voiced by most every ono who sees
tho picture AS for US, we admire
Miss Normand so keenly that we en-
JOY seeing her in anything, but she
is capable of doing so much better
things! No comedienne on the screen
has greater gift of subtlety than
little Mabel; no one knows more the
the fine art Of suggestion, and no one
plays with greater appreciation OF
the humor of the situation. Miss Nor
mand IS beautiful girl and a real
artist.
Therefore, while she Is terribly
funny as Sis Hopkins, we didn't enjoy
her as much as we did in "Dodging
a Million" and some of her later
Goldwyn pictures. Miss Normands
forte is not slapstick. She Is too fine
for 1t, say we.
Hopkins, the country girl who goes to
the Cemetery" to be educated and
runs away because she hates it. Sis
loses her oil can on her way home
from the village store one day, aud it
falls in the spring. 1t is the time
of the oil craze, and when Nibert, the
near-villaiu, discovers oil In the water
he believes he has discovered an oil
well. so he buys the worthless mead
ows for $4,000, and the Hopkins fam
lily all live happy ever after.
Sis marries Ridg ScarborO, the local
beau, and Pa Hopkins goes away to get
rid of his rheumatism. Miss Normand
cannot conceal the fact that she is a
beauty even with her shapeless clothes
and her pigtails. The supporting cast
is excellent. Thomas jefferson is Pa;
Sam De Grasse is the villain, and John
Bowers is tho favored suitor. One of
the most amusing things in the picture
was his Sunday suit.
Another analysis of motion picture
"High and Broad Jumping" is listeo
as educational. But that need not
prejudice any one, for it is as amusing
as any comedy. The real comedy is

Little Basis for Criticisms.
Says War Fund Official
Just Back From France
Made Serious Mistakes
Good 1t Accomplished, How
ever, Has Never Been
Fully Appre late d

Mortimer l.. Schif. who returned
from France yesterday on La Lorraine,
declared that his study Of the Y. NJ. C.
AS war service overseas convinced
him that there was little basis in fact
fer most of tho criticism lovelled
against it. Mr. SchiT said tho Y. NJ.
C. A. had made mistakes, some Of them
serious ones, but that the good it ac-
somplished "far outweighs its failures"
Mr.. Schig went abroad as one Of a
committee TO supervise the expenditure
OF the funds raised during the United
War Work drive and TO coordinate the
activities of the various welfare or
ganizations.
II am aware Of the criticism of the
Y. ". c. A." he said. after close
study Of what II has done I believe
most of the criticism is without foun-
dation. In a way, much of tho com
plant against the Y H. C. A. is q
compliment, for our troops become so
accustomed to the service it rendered
them that they took it for granted when
they received it and grumbled when it
was taken away.
0OSL Ol lib N1llIOISul seems 10 CEN
tire around the canteens. The fact is
that the Y. Il. C. A, in assuming this
burden, made a substantial contribu-
ton toward winning the war by re-
leasing soldiers for training and fight
ing. Of course, it placed the Y. NJ.
c. A. in false position with tho men,
as the relation gave the soldiers tho
feeling that the contact meant spend
ing money and nothing else.
at is hardly necessary for mo to
repeat what has already been proved
that the operation OF tho canteens en-
tailed heavy loss on the Y. Nj. C. A.
In addition the organization gave away
more to tho soldiers than all other
agencies combined. We hear little of
tho great service it rendered in other
directions, providing theatrical and
moving picture entertainment, athletic
supplies and directors, operating ho-
tels for officers and men and other
activities.
~The Y. NJ. c. A. has perhaps beer
too ambitious, too grasping of oppor
tunitics when it was not in a position
TO do them justice. However. l an
convinced of the magnitude of its rea
accomplishment"
