plant here, would result in summary

been averted had all persons con-
cerned faced as intelligent people
insted of savages."

no intention of importing armed
strikebreakers, but declined to say
whether unarmed men would be
brought in. They also denied the
company had employed any armed

opened the meeting, explaining its
purposes. She then read a letter
from Mrs. Clarence C~rittendon Call
houn, the president of the founda-
ton which in itself contains the
aims. both idealistic and practical of
the foundation. Several women ex-
pressed their opinions of the move
ment, nearly everyone endorsing it
and the meeting adjourned after a
unanimous stand taken to become
charter members.
The idealistic aim of the foun-
dation as set forth in the letter
from Mrs. Calhoun, the president,
is to unity the woman power of the
country along civic. welfare and pa
triotic lines and its practical aim
is to do this through a modern
acropolis TO womanhood to be erect
ed in Washington. D. c., the capital
city. The acropolis will be a GEN.
ter where questions of any import
ance to women win be taken up.
Here an experimental kitchen will

TO STUDY HISTORY HERE
WHILE IT IS BEING MADE

OF have the pupils of the public
schools study history while history Is
being made is the purpose OF Super
intendent Samuel J.. Shull and the
Board of Education. especially in the
case of the conference for the hmi-
tation of arms. The activities in
Washington at the present time 1t is
thought are of great importance in
the education of the youth and the
following letter today went out to
the principals of the schools of the
city:
Perth Amboy. ". J..Nov. 1s, 1921.
principals: .
"As the present conference at
Washington. ID. c.. on limitation or
armament will prove n of the
epoch-making historic events of the
times, il would seem to be both wise
and expedient to lay special empha-
sis day by day on the transactions
of the conference. We believe this
is OF so much Importance that other
parts of your history work can be
given less stress and the children de-
rive more profit from a knowledge
of the great events that are taking
place during their w lifetime.
"Yours truly,
