 RAVES ON HERO|SM
(By United Pressl

Pris, Jan. 19-Paris newspapers to- day feature Moscow dispatches to the effect that Premier Nicolia Lenine of the soviet government has become so weakened from overwork that his mind is deranged. The dispatches relate that Lenine has been imprisoned in one of his rooms at the former imper- ial palace, and that he continuously raves of his role as the great Rus sian hero who saved his country from the Kerensky rule. Soviet affairs are virtually in the hands of Minister of War Trotsky, it was said.

CAN WATER START A
 FIRE?

Boston, Jan. 1.-The phenome non-of water starting a fire is one that may occur in hose lines that are tested under certain conditions, but would never be encountered in practical fire department work, ac- cording to the conclusions of an ex- pert who has made tests with diff ferent engines and different types of hose as a result of the Boston fire de- partment report of the burning of a hose with no flame nearby.
 The tests which have taken the place of those planned by the de- partment were made by J. S. Cald- well, chief engineer of the New Eng land Insurance Exchange. The first was conducted here with a rotary en- zine and the flame burned through two cotton jackets in fifteen min utes. Another test was held with a centrifugal engine at Portland, Me, where the rubber lining was ruptured in eight minutes allowing the water to soak through the cotton jackets preventing milton. The third test at New Bedford was with a piston-type engine, and was stopped after eight minutes when the hose had become charred, so that chemical tests could be made.
 The cause of the water-induced flame was said by the engineer to be friction between the inner and outer jackets of the hose, the result of a , high velocity stream of water which caused vibration or fiuttering of the hose. The vibration was found to be produced largely by a variance in pressures on the pump side of the throttle gate and the hose side due to checking down of the opening.
 Under such conditions the type of pump and the make of hose are not factors in the result, Engineer Cald well found. He summarized his con- clusions with the statement that tthe possibility of burning hose while in tereStinE because of it's peculiar na- ture, is a matter which does not war rang Aany change in the design of eith- CT D p.Agnping equipment or hose as the conditions under which it is produced would never. be encountered in prac- tical fire department work

 Everything is reduced to the funda- mentals and the "school life is made as near like that of a good normal home as possible
 The children's day at the Unquowa school begins out of doors. Except during actual storms the morning drill and setting-up exercises. which lasts about 20 minutes, are held un- der a large tree out the. grounds The balance of the morning is prin- cipally devoted to book study in the class rooms and the afternoon to handwork which is planned in such a way that it bears a relation to the
 book work of the morning. supple menting it. and emphasizing it. Classes Go Outdoors.
 Not only >are the children given this sort of thing but whenever the nature of the work permits. classes are taken out of doors; as for in stance in geography, children, just learning about rivers and streams. are taken out by the teacher to the stream which bounds one side of the school grounds and given first hand 1 knowledge of water from actual ob- servation. A little later in their 1 course the tangle of bushes at the rear of the lot becomes a wild or a
 jungle in which they hunt crude l wooden animals which nave pre- viously been planted" for them. and
 in this way have fixed in their minds l the animals which are native to a 1 particular country.
 ! Little youngsters learning about | China take for the moment Chinese 1 names, dress in improvised Chinese l costumes are given a meal entirely | of Chinese foods which they attempt
 to eat with chop sticks In this way l a host of facts concerning China are l fixed in the ychfld's mind while he 1 only realizes that he. has had a fine 1 lark.
 The same principle underlies much of the play-work of the older pupils An example. Is that of the class study ing primitive man which was taken
 out of doors by the instructor and
 under her direction reproduced one
 of the first shelters of the race.
 Barn Work Shop.
 | The old barn has been fetted up
 for a workshop and in this the boys
 get three hours work week. Since the commencement of school they
 have done such practical things as
 repair the picket fence around the
 yard and built some of the appliances | for the playground.
 Another feature of the J-nquowa school, strikingIy differens rom the
 public school, is the fact that most
 of the pupils do not go home at noon
 but are given a lunch at the school
 After the lunch the younger pupils,
 wrapped in heavy blankets lay dow1, T for 5alf hour. if the weather is
 suitable, and if not in. the barn, while
 a teacher reads and explains to them
 some selection from standard Iitera- = ture. In this way from 12 to 20 books are gone through during a school year. t-.
 The tension of the ordinary school room does not exist at Unquowa, for . MT. Churchill says that ''education is not expressing children.

If some of the people who used to travel the Stratfeld road in the early days could stop at the old Toll Gate House on the left of the road just after it crosses Rooster river and take a look at the happy informal bunch of youngsters to be found in and around it five days a week they would scarce believe it was. a school.
 Yet that is just what it is In the oldest part of Bridgeport the newest and most modern ideas in education are being put in practice by a corps of able teachers under the eye and direction of an especially trained educational expert with broad eNperi- ence. Carl Churchill, graduate of Keu- ka College, with an M. A. from Co., lumbia College earned in course of school organization and supervision and more than half score years rec ord as superintendent and principal in various places.
 Looks Like Dwelling.
 So far can be seen from the highway the house is still just a nice example of an \old time dwelling which has been modernized slightly and with nothing to indicate that it is not being used still for its origin al purpoSe-a home. But it is not. It is the Unquowa school.
 To one who has never seen or thought of anything different than the traditional public school the at noSphere inside this building during the sessions of the school is, to say i the least unique. Nor is it alone the school atm mosphere which is diff ferent. On the day that The Times man visited it, day on which he was very glad of his overcoat and ! gloves. windows were open and the air from outside was being admitted i freely enough so that in spite of the 1 heat in the radiator the temperature !. pf fiftN and the group of busy, apparently | enthusiastic. youngsters sat with | their caps and wraps on.
 l This is all in line with the theory that the health of the child is ol primary importance and that while he must. of course, acquire sufficient 1 mental training. it must not be al lowed to interfere with his physica development. Following this line oi reasoning evetyt hing which is possi bie is done out of doors with the pupils at the Unquowa school or the three acres of land which the schoo
 has in the rear of the building, foi 1 Mir. Churchill believes that play i:

ITALIANS HIT BY FOOD
 ROBBERS

Rome. Jan. 1.-The Italian mid dle classes whose incomes remain substantially what they were before the war are angrily resisting what they denounce as the Courageous prices for necessities exacted by pros f1teers." The scenes of indignation which. occur in some of the stores OF Rome show the evaporation of the consumers.
 One man who was asked the equiv a1ent of S64 for pair of shoes told the sh opkeeper: Burglars who enter your house to rob are pot ths4 only holdup men in this town. You e9lne in the same category Another man, when asked the equivalent of $50 for a hat, told tke shopkeeper that he was the manufacturer of the hat and had sold it to the dealer for $10. He called the retailer "a robber.'
 Lately the shopkeepers have been compelled to mark the prices in plain figures on every article in the shop windows in the vain hope that trades men would be ashamed to ask eXor- bitant prices; the only effect appar- ently has been the level prices up- ward instead of down.

Indians Hit At British
 Schools

New York. Jan. 14.-According to adVices received by the India infor- nation bureau, the movement for non- cooperation with the British govern ment in India is being developed in the boycott of government-suppo "d colleges and schools. The. with drawal of children from all education al institutions which receive govern ] ment support was one of the blanks in the boycott platform formulated hv M. K. Gandhi, native leader, and accepted by the country at the spec ial session of the Indian national con- -rCSs, in September last. To date several Indian colleges have declared themselves in sympathy with Gandhis movement and students have aban- doned their classes and set up new colleges.
 In Ahmedabad under the chance lorship of Gandhi. National Col !. lc%c was recently opened. The in augural ceremony was attended by more than 5000 Indian parents and students.
 The student movement is not spo ; radio and f1eeting, according 10 the , information reaching the India. bu- eau. but rather serious attempt at ! "sta hlishing a new national educa- : 1iona1 system. To consider further | he status of the student body in 1n- ] dia at the present time of national , crisis conference of college stu : dents from all over India has been 1 announced. The appeal which mas 1. been issued relative to this confer 1 "nCe declares that ''it is now high ! time that the students should asser, | their corporate existence and decide : together the line of action that may 7 he desirable in the beet Interests oi , the country"
 In the wake of the new movement has come considerable apprehension on the part of the government, fol lowed by measures of repression. as in 1919. the India bureau is inform ed. Two editors on the Punjab have [ been arrested, one already convicted ! Following the arrests, demonStrat tions ot sympathy took place in Lahore an( i Amritsar, principal cities of the Pun
 lab, and at public meetings held ir
 lhesc cities resolutions were passed
 conEratulating the editors and eN
 pressing sympathy for them. A har { tai Cessation of business) is also re

Unquowa wants to fdget he fidgets, but this does not prevent his being kept at the task in hand and securing results.
 Another statement of Mir. ChurchilIs which explains the object of much that is done at Unquowa is he has some clear motive for per forming the task in hand. The child works in the same way If anything he is even more dependent on feeling motive for his work. When he has a clear object that appeals to him he will work hard and devise means

 Social Development.
 Unquowa attempts another differ ence from the public school. It gives study and attention to the de- veiopment of the child socially, not in the popular sense of the word but in the scientific sense.
 This MT. Churchill claims, is fully important as academic knowledge. The child must be prepared to take

AUTOMATIC RECEIVING TELL.
Frs PLACED IN OUR SCHOOLS.

The lesson of thrift is being taught
early to our school children. Even the
littlest ones are encouraged to save
their pennies, using the unique ma.
chimes provided by the First National
Bank of Wauwatosa.
The device, called an Automatic Re
ceiving Teller" works on the thrift
stamp system. When child has a
penny, nickle, dime or even a quarter
to deposit, he goes to this "bank," puts
the coin in the slot marked for it, pulls
the lever, and out comes the stamp
marked for the value of the sum de
posted. This is placed in book pro
vided for the purpose and when filed
is taken to the First National Bank
where the child is enrolled as de
positor
Two of the first and youngest ''finan-
ciers" of the school were Jack Boyd
and Peggy Stamm, and the business OF
making deposit of l cent each was at
tended to with great seriousness.
We sincerely hope the fathers and
mothers of all school children will co
operate in this move as it surely is a
splendid way of teaching our children
to save money.
