The proposed celebration here in Phila

However, most of the returning soldiers
want no parade, They object to the time

filled with one big thought: ITO get to
their own home, sweet home, as they call

Sir-''The car rider in Boston pays
eight cents. Pittsburgh seven cents, st.
Louis six cents. Philadelphia five cents.
The above is copied from the Joke card
on the front of =. II. Il. car.
Why did they not go further and say how
many Philadelphia car riders pay eight cents
and even ten cents Il ride!
Some real funny chap invcnts these cards.
For months he has had the ears pasted up
with t1ashy cards that read like an adver-
tiscmcnt for Il new breakfast food.
If the p. X. T. would cut out this
"Kiddy'' stuff and Miss Safety FIRST
nonsense and replace the route card they
once had they would be doing better serv-

wonder how many five cent fares it
takes to pay for all these thousands of

Defends Juqo-SIav Position

To the Editor of the EUcmihg Public Ledger:
Sir-I would like to answer Randolf j.
Scott. chairman Junior Alliance for Italian
Relief. ] would say this port, Fiume, is
Croatian from history up till now and the
Italians have no right to claimit.
If Italians are not satisfied in Fiumc. let
them get out President Wilson should be
the sole arbitrator.
If it had not been for America there would
have been peace conference in Berlin and
the kaiser would be the boss instead of Will
son.
II it hadn't been for the American army
there would be no Italy left.
For this reason Italians ought to be glad
their country is safe. To Wilson and the
American army, who saved them. they owe
many thanks. The Jugo Slavs do not want
anybody's land. They want liberty and
freedom, and we are proud that President
Wilson is with us, because he represents
peoplc who love liberty and freedom.

LEDGER. the only paper we read.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS
FOR PRACTICAL TRAINING.
CARRIER Outlines Scheme for Enlist
ing Interest of Youth in
Concrete Problems

Thousands of young people leave the pubic
schools Of Philadelphia every year as soon as
the compulsory law permits them to do SO.
Most of them stop school not for economlc8
reasons, but because the school work has
ceased to hold their interest.
To meet the difficulties which confront
these girls and boys who are lnadequateiy
prepared for entering economic helds, the
Board of Education has designed a system OF
junior high schools, which provides general
course of three years following the compile
ton of sixth grade work.
The Junior High School deals with things
rather than theories and aims. at more
Dractical education suited to children of from
twelve to fifteen years of age, which is ex
planned in the following statement from Dr.
John y. CARRIER. superintendent of schools:
This different type of school furnishes
a splendid opportunity for broadening and
intcnsfying the natural and healthy in
stucts and cravings of this period OF life
through wider activities and the varied appli-
cations of the things begun in the elementary
schools to life and its activities. 1t also
furnishes fine opportunity for introducing
new subjects or new features of old subjects
that are OF distinct value in assuring success
and satisfaction in life.
''The Junior High School makes possible
the type of Education that assists the child
in making wise choice of the line of life
activity for which it means to be prepared
when it leaves school. For this purpose it
not only strives for a high degree of general
intelligence, but also presents as broad range
of vocational activities as is possible and with
a worth while preliminary training in each
The Junior High School plan is growing
in public favor. not only because it makes
these strong appeals of things worth while to
pupils and their parents. but also because
it is demonstrating its ability to hold the
mass of OFF young people in school until they
are better prepared for meeting the hard
and complex conditions now confronting
every one entering the strenuous world OF
business, industry or professional life. AL
though Philadelphia has at present only one
complete Junior High School several others
are under consideration, and the number
should be extended as rapidly as is feasible
until eventually every portion of the city will
have the benefit of this type of school for
its boys and girls.

have a growing impression that some
of the inspiration for this opposition comes
from the reactionary attitude of set OF

the code of the defeated kaiser and the de-
throned kings and so called mobility OF
Europe than with the ideals and aspirations
of a truly democratic people and OF the new
world that is evolving from the chaos OF the
war.
