ADMIRAL RoUSES TEACHERS
Says No Boy Over Ten Should Learn
From Woman

Trenton, April 24.-Rear Admiral
Casper f. Goodrich caused sensation
here by his radical views on education
in an address before the annual meeting
of the county superintendcnts of schools
and the helping teachers of New Jersey.
The admiral has been in charge of the
Princeton naval unit and graduated
from Annapolis in 1864 and was one
of the heroes of the war with Spain.
having accepted Cervera's surrender.
He was introduced by State Commits
sioner of Education Kendall as "a man
whose views on education of the young
are very hcterodox.'
The admiral opened his address by
declaring it "criminal' to force little
children to carry home from school
every day n big load of books for
study. THE people who take up the
time of the children outside of school
by making them study when they ought
to be playing and enjoying healthful
exercising should be punished" said the
speaker There should be no text books
for children under twelve years of age,
except readers, he declared. The par
ents are compelled to do the real teach
irg at home and the teachers merely
hear the lessons and get paid for it.,
in his opinion.
I'll be hanged if I'd do your work
and let you get the pay" was the way
he put it up to the educators.
In his concluding remarks he de-
clared: "No boy over ten years should
be taught by a woman
The educators received the address
with great interest and not a little
amusement, and at its conclusion gave
the admiral vote of thanks.

No Compromise,
Declares PenrOse
Continued from Page One

rected particularly ut persistent ru-
mors which are spreading about the
capitol to the effect that before the
Woodward bills pass the House COM
promise will be effected upon that clause
in the charter bill which provides that
the city of Philadelphia may end con-
tractor rule by taking over the business
OF cleaning its streets and performing
other municipal work if it so elects.
The bill provides that the city may stop
the letting of high price contracts to
the wares and other contractors if the
small Council so decides by two thirds
vote.
Statement by Penrose
Senator Penrosc was asked if there
was any truth in the compromise ru-
mors. He also was asked if he con-
sidered the contract clauses of the
Nharter bill one of the vital features
OF the measure. In reply he dictated
the following statement:
II consider the clause in the so called
charter. revision bill introduced by Sen
ator Woodward permitting the city of
Philadelphia to exercise the option of
either doing itself some of the municipal
work or letting it by contract as one of
the important features of the bill.
1t is hardly, in my opinion, worth
while to argue about the propriety of
this provision, because it must be OBJ
vious to any one of common sense. No
one could have the effrontery to go
before the people of Philadelphia and
argue against provision which permits
the city authorities to have certain mu-
nicipal work done in the way which may
be most advantageous and cheapest for
the taxpayers, already heavily overbur-
dencd by ever increasing municipal
taxes due to waste, extravaganza and
malfeasance.
1T is absurd to talk about compro
missing with garbage collectors and
scavengers, who naturally prefer the
contract system, particularly when a
large element of the overhead expense
of contracts consists of the amount paid
as subsidies to city inspectors and su :
pervisors.
'If the interested motives of such
contractors constitute the basic Gle =
ment in the opposition to these bills. as
some suspect, the sooner the Lcgisla =
ture and the people of the State know
| il the better "

among the consignment there are
pure Scotch bulls and heifers that will
no doubt sell in the ring at the highe st

In fact, the majority of the breed

have seemed to them that they alone
were holding fast when the entire fab

ing all around them. Also they get

army-a notion based on an entire
msconception of what was going on.
NOTION which survives to this day.
Naturally enough the French minor
ofncers, having received mysterious
orders to fall back. were puzzled by
the spectacle of Americans coming
forward. and here and there, urged
them to withdraw to safety.
At this time arose the great legend
tnat General Bundy, then commanding
the Second Division, had met the
French order to retreat with the reA
sounding refusal.
Retreat he'll, just got herer'
Which story, born of the mood of
those wonderful days, spread like
the tiue from continent to continent
It was not true. But it was not sheer
invention. Captain Williams of the
Marines, getting into position with his
company on the first day, was met
Dy an excited French officer who told
him that the order was to retreat
which as far as the French troops
were concerned, was quite true. And
Captain Williams told him to 90 to
he'll. - -
He did not know that he was max
ing an historic remark. When he re-
ported what he had said by runner to
regimental headquarters, it was not in
the spirit Of one whp proclams to his
superiors: "Oh. listen, | have Just done
a wonderful and, courageous thing. =
Far from it. He had spoken out of
his heart, and then fearing that per-
haps he had not employed the proper
attitude toward an Allied officer of
highe frank, he had sent in his own re-
port Of the proceedings to beat any
one else to it. Captain Williams was
wounded later, and when he was on
the operating table in the dressing
station he was killed by random
shell. He is among the multitudinous
dead who lie in the Valley Of the
Marne. But the thing he said and the
work he did is very much alive. III

possible, then added Some things
are hard to explain, aren't they?"
Smilingly one little girl looked up
land remarked. Just like the acorn
and the tree; we can't tell how God
ibid it. but we know it is true"
In this way questioning obedience
will, if properly and lovingly dealt
with, become confident, trustful
obedience.
obedience is subjection to riphtful
control at all times and in all plaees.
Yet many parents are satisfieI with
only occasional obedience. One day
a. mother expects immediate response e
TO her request, while a little later sh,.
waits indefinitely for obeiience. AZ
still another time, if she is busv At
some household duty or ne;chhoriv
conversation, she entirely forgcts her
request. What happensi The child
cide matters for himself, and his
motto becomes, with mother, obey
when i is convenient" Such child
soon. demoralizes the children of the
wrole neighborhood.
Lastbut perhaps OF greatest concern
TO parents is the advice to settle with
disooedience at the time. tally today's
books today, unless some act REQUIRES
future opportunity for correction.
Just here let us add one more word
on this important subject. Study your
child and his disposition; suit YOUR
corrections TO him. and to the particua
lar act in question. A certain punish
ment may suit one child and work
ruin In the life of another.
Perhaps the thought contained in
the following verses by an unknown
writer may help the mother to see her
life work little more clearly:
| took a piece Of plastic clay
And idly fashioned It one day.
And as my fingers pressed Il still
u moved and yielded at my will.
! came again when days were past
Ihe bit OF clay was hard at last.
The form gave it still it bore.
but could change that form no more.

And gently formed II day BY day. 4
