AN EXPERIMENTAL SCHOOL
A New Departure By an Australian
Educator. .

Al Brighton on the Sands, marine
suburb of Sydney, Australia is new
school, designed on model architecture
lines, which was founded two years age
by Mr.. Board, director of education
for the state of New South Wales. Mr.
! Board believes that the curriculum Of
public schools involves the expenditure
OF an inordinate amount of time upon
purely theoretical education, and wished
TO demonstrate that il only half the

ject" instruction children would get
on as well in general education, while
at the same time receiving a practical
objective education.
II is a one story building, standing
in four and a half acres of land, and
has accommodation for about $50 pu-
pills. The conspicuous feature from an
outward inspection is that it looks as
though it were built of glass. On en-
tering the school one is surprised to
find himself in gymnasium, The cen
ter of the school consists of a large
hall with tanbark floor plentifully
provided with all sorts of gymnastic
apparatus.
Opening off this gymnasium, on each
side, are a number of classrooms, so
constructed that their outer walls con
sist of series OF glass panel windows,
swung to open outward to right
angle. so that each classroom is open to
the air The doors by which the rooms
are entered from the gymnasium are

that when both doors and windows are
open the air has an unobstructed circu-
lation right through the whole building,
which is thus converted into what IL
practically huge open-air school.
For certain period in each day the
children are allowed to exercise on the
bars, swinging or horizontal ladders,
and other gymnastic appliances. These
exercises are conducted in such way
as TO increase the muscular and chest
capacity of the children and develop
their physique generally. Care is taken
that no boy or girl shall occupy any
department of the gymnasium exclus

while Others not so proficient have to
stand and wait
During the morning session the school
is largely devoted to theoretical instruc
ton usual in an ordinary primary
school The afternoon is devoted
mainly to subject instruction, 1t

child becomes rapidly exhausted and

The object of this school is to cease

There can be no denying that the
prohibition question is in politics.
IL isn't politics in the comparatively
trivial form Of a question whether
one-half of one percent OF alcohol
shall be permitted. or whether two
and three-quarters percent shall
be permitted II is a very great pity
that a question relatively so trivial
should embarrass the consideration
of great principles Of domestic and
foreign policy. The unhappy truth
is that I'm the present state Of the
world. and I'm the presidential year
of 1920 a good many issues in

Obscurcs Really Big Issues.
A. the New York state republican
convention last month the platform

't't-N IN a. RID F'ftOA EAlrE4 on I'd
have the various states pass local
state statutes permitting the sale
81 alcoholic drinks up 20 two. three
or four percent or higher. Here
TOO. the purpose Of the effort is
moral effect rather than practical re-
suits Nobody can seriously hope
that any local state statute can pre-
vail over a national statute 20 the
contrary.
When the 18Th amendment was
adopted it contained this extraor-
binary clause.
The congress and the several
states shall have concurrent power
70 enforce this article by appropri-
ate legislation"
The reason for the presence Of
thai unprecedented sentence in the
amendment is this: At the time t.
was passed the prOhibitonists We're
IN the saddle. very much In the sad
die. They were able 20 get what
they wanted, and what they wanted
was a sure thing. They wanted TO
have two bets dowr. so 20 speak.
II congress should say that 'intox-
icating liquor" IS four percent al
cOhOl. they wanted the state 20 be
able 10 reduce il TO one-half OF one
per cent. OF viceversa. For the
present, congress has gone the limit
and made the test one-half OF one
percent.

passing. two. three and four per-
cent statutes in the various states
are merely, 30 far as they are sin
cere at all. efforts 10 start law suits
in truth. they are really for the pur-
pose OF making propaganda.
All OF this Is very complex and.
la truth. the situation is even more
complex than Is here stated; but
the public will roughly have an ap-
proximate grasp OF the situation IL
they understand that the real fight
5etween ihe Anti-Sa' Don league on
the one hand. and IN wet" forces
on the other is TO elect enough mem
bers of congress to change the pres
ent statute and 20 permit the sale
two. three or four per cent OF al
cohol.
May be Bryan's Big Chance.
In reality. the talk OF making
Gov. Edwards a candidate for the
democratic nominations also a
mere feint- No well-informed per-
son believes that Gov. Edwards has
the faintest chance of getting the
nomination. More than that, every
person who understands conditions
in the democratic party throughout
the country knows perfectly we'll
that no man can get the democratic
nomination for the presidency whose
record and probable intentions on
the subject OF prohibition are not
fllly acceptable 10 those western
and southern states that have made
prohibition possible.
