SCHOOL WEEK TO BE
OBSERVED DEC. 5-12
Ministers, Teachers, Commun-
ity Organizations to
Cooperate

In accordance with a suggestion
offered by DR.. P. P. Claxton,
United States Commissioner of
Education, the State educational
authorities with the approval Of
Governor Townsend have desig-
mated December SIP as School
Week. In letter to the minis
ters of the churches, asking for
their cooperation, the following
specific aims and suggestions are
set forth:
ut is suggested that not only
the schools but the churches,
Parent Teacher Associations,
women's clubs, mems clubs,
oranges, and all other civic or
ganizations should conduct pro-
gram some time during the week
which would focus public atten-
ton on education and develop
public sentiment in favor of better
schools. Some Of the following
specific aims could be in such pro-
gram:
l. To secure regular school at
tendance.
2. To insure satisfactory health
conditions in schools.
3. To provide adequately train
ed teachers.
4. To make possible a high
school education for every child.
5. To convince the public of the
worth of education.
6. To botain adequate financial
support for schools.
"It is suggested that the minis
ters in carrying out their part of
the program use one or more of
their church services for empha-
sizing the Importance of educa-
ton. If any minister finds that he
cannot devote any part of his
services to education on Decem-
ber 5, the following Sunday, De-
cember IL, will do just as we'll.
The ministers, especially, are
appealed to from the fact that the
home, the church, and the school
must stand together against those
influences which, for the purpose
of saving a dollar, would rob the
child of his rights to a good. edu-
cation in our public schools.
"The suggestion is made that
ministers call upon the superin-
tendents of schools, principals,
teachers, and high school pupils to
assist by delivering four-minute
speeches on some educational
topic of local interest at one of
the church services on December
5th.
eff the ministers are willing to
observe an Educational Sunday
annually, the Department of Edu-
cation will gladly assist the min-
listers another year by preparing
and educational bulletin contain
ing much valuable material.
MANY problems of social
economic or industrial nature
must be settled in the near future
The church and school can render
needed assistance"
Teachers are urged to cooper
ate with the ministers and to
carry out specific programs on
December 10. Parent Teacher
Associations and oranges are ask
ed to assist.
The value Of education is urged
in a suggestive outline which
gives the situation in a nutshell
as follows:
Education is the Nations Bulwarh
Because:
|. 1t is a financial investment
that yields the highest dividends.
2. 1t results in safe and sane
citizenship.
8. 1t increases the ability anc
desire to serve others.
4. 1t adds to the appreciation
and happiness of life.
5. 1t multiplies the chances o.
success in life.

Child Recants Tale
Of Murder; Coached
By Aunt, She Says
Disavows Story Told Allan
tic City Police of Quarrel
Before Mother Was Slain:
Describes Th cdr Flight

Nine-year-old -Concettina Cont, whose
aunt, Maria Tucci, is under indictmen,
for shooting and killing Mrs. Angelins
Cont, the girls mother, in their home
80 West Houston Street, broke down in
the District Attorneys Office yesterday
and told Of the events that led to the
murder Of her mother.
Sobbing Concettina told John F.
Joyce, Assistant District Attorney, that
the tale she told authorities at Atlantic
City, where she and Maria Tucci sur.
rendered themselves day before yes
terday, was false.
The child had said her aunt killed he,
mother in struggle following quar-
rel resulting from Mrs. Conti's reques 81
that her daughter and sister lead i'm.
moral lives in order that they Nigh,
have more money. A revolver was dis
charged In fight after Mrs. Cont
attacked her sister with knife. the
child averred.
She recanted that story under exam
ination by. Mr.. Joyce and admitted she
had been coached by her aunt to tell
that version Of the murder to the au-
thorities. Here is what really hap
ened in the Cont homo, the child de-
clared:
Mrs. CONT, Maria Tucci and Concet-
tina went to bed early Sunday evening
all In the same bed, the child sleeping
between the two elder women.
The child was awakened about ]
o'clock Monday morning by tho sound
Of a shot, she told Mr.. Joyce. She said
she saw her aunt kneeling on the bed
with revolver pointed at the back Of
her mothers head. Crimson stains were
on the bed clothes.
what are you doing, Aunt Maria r
the child said she asked the Tucci
woman.
Then, Concettina says, her aunt
fired the second shot into her mother's
head: Subsequently, she declared, they
fled to Atlantic City, and en- route ths
aunt coached Concettina in the story
she was to tell the police.
Acquaintances Of the sisters in
formed Mr.. Joyce they quarreled fre-
quently. Concettina said they had
quarreled the Saturday preceding the
shooting. The girl was taken back
to the quarters of the Children's Soci-
ETY., where she is being held as a ma
terial witness.

it costs to produce It and will get a
lower price in April.
Jefferson County dairymen to-day
said that inasmuch as the big milk
companies have lost their European
market they cannot be expected to buy
the farmers milk and sell it at loss.
Therefore reduced production is es-
sential to q stabilixation Of the market.
This can be accomplished without any
permanent bad effect on tho industry,
but If the production were kept up and
the New York market flooded, the re-
tall price there would be forced down
and would prove a boomerang to the
farmer by driving his price lower.
Such condition would 80 demoralize
the milk producing industry that the
cries Of "kill off the cows" heard from
dissatisfied farmers during the milk
strike Of the last three years, would be
revived. Killing Of cows would create
"a serious milk shortage, forcing prices
mp permanently, and such q condition
would take at least three years to
remedy.
All through this section there is a
movement for enlarging the butter and
cheese production as a means Of util-
izfng the surplus milk. This will have
q. tendency to force prices down in
those markets from five to ten cents
within the next two months.

With Freshies to Right of Him, Freshies to Left
of Him, He Modestly Admits Foiling Dastardly
Attempt to Keep Him From His Class Dinner

A somewhat breathless voice, chant
ing saga Of collegiate warfare and
the deeds Of might and daring per-
formed by Arthur Touroff, president
Of the New York University's sopho-
more class, came over the telephone
wire to The Tribune last night.
Between gasps for wind it sang an
epic Of Homeric battle; Of blows
doughtily given; Of odds Of thirty to
three and Of smitten freshmen lying
in windrows, victims Of their dastardly
attempt to keep President Touroff
from the dinner Of his class at
Brownies Chop House.
Before the singer reached his eli-
max he paused. out Of consideration
for the mangled emotions Of tho re-
potter on the other end Of the wire,
and confided the freshmen were de-
feated and their aforementioned das-
tardly attempt had gone for naught.
President Touroff, he said, had reached
the chop house safely. In fact, this
was President Touroff speaking. After
that reinsurance he took up tho bur-
den Of his chant, thus:
And So He "Beat IT.
"Well, when I saw there were 50

Air Express Service
To Chicago Proposed

r. F. M. Cowie, vice president of the
American Railway Express Company,
IN speech at the Aeronautical Show
yesterday, said that his company
planned to contract for an airplane ex-
press service between New York and
Chicago as soon as the operating COM
pany could be formed.
. 1--WE plan to offer this service as
the next step in the evolution Of ex-
press transportation" he said.
Mr.. Cowie declared that the Inter
state Commerce Commission was the
logical body to control commercial
aerial navigation. He said that an
aerial service to other cities would also
be- established. "Ths nine-hour fight
to Chicago will mean cutting tho pres
ent time In two.
"1n my Judgment the success in tho
immediate future Of commercial avia-
ton depends first upon mail and ex-
press, then upon passengers"

Huntermark and Quade got into the

"Well. that left me there all alone. I

them with the stick. There must have
been thirty Of those freshmen, and we
were all battling around and sweating

"Well, the sophs in the cab hollered
for tho driver to back up, and he did,

freshmen hanging around my neck. and

started of.
"well, we found that there were three
freshmen in the cab, and then we had q
those three freshmen out on their
heads at 167th Street and Webster
Avenue, and then we started downtown.
"Well, one Of those freshmen had
done something to the lights, and A.
nally at 145th Street cop stopped us
and handed up Q summons.
"Well, crowd gathered, and there
we were with our clothes all torn and
our hair mussed up, and nj bet they
