WHICH SCHOOL?
(Continued from front page)

first case he has plenty of room to participate in games and ample opportunity to use whatever playground appara- tus present, besides being re- Quired to exercise under the leadership of the teacher in charge. Of course, the long periods of play are possible because the school day is long CT. In the second case where the whole school comes out together he rushes from. a crowded room, maybe, to find that the playground is also crowded, that too many others are before him on the slides, etc., and that he must invent something, even if it is mischief, in order that he may obtain the necessary di- version. If he fails to fit in anywhere during the short period he, possibly, sulks back to his room with anything but the idea of work in his head.
 We admit that the first plan is not a panacea for all our ills. When it rains the gym nasium is all but too small for our needs. Some children, moreover, do not know how to play games and sometimes the teacher in charge had rather sit down and read or rest than to give the proper encouragement. Still other pupils are too lazy or indiffer- ent to exercise energetically and give the impression of useless idleness.
 But taken all in all, if these pupils are not kept upon the playground at stated periods, even if they at times get only huge but beneficial doses of pure, fresh air, they might be disturbing or crowding other pupils who at the time are perhaps deeply concen- trated upon some subject be- ing taught better by an un- molested teacher.
 The fact that at all times during the. day some pupils may be seen upon the play, ground may have caused some observers to think that the system is all play and nc work. The following daily program for a sixth grade pupil may serve somewhat te dlspel such a conclusion:
 First Period-Goes to class

 Second Period-Goes to classroom for history and geography.
 Third Period-G o es to playground.
 Fourth Period-G o es to auditorium to study.
 Fifth Period-Goes to class room for language, literature or reading and spelling.
 Sixth Period-Goes to play ground.
 Seventh Period-Goes to auditorium for current events, citizenship, nature study, educational pictures, etc.
 Eighth Period-G 0 es to classroom for arithmetic and writing. &nr
 It can readily be seen that a pupil in this grade spends six periods at work or study. the total time of the six periods being 5 hours and 20 minutes. Under the old plan he spent 5 hours and 30 minutes at his desk-a differ ence of 10 minutes in favor of the old plan. The old pro- gram was somewhat as fol- lows: History, study, re- cess, language, study" loaf, noon, arithmetic, geography, talk, reading, spelling, home. Which curriculum seems rich CT?

active part in these audi tOrlum exercises.
 Still another new feature is a laboratory for physical science. In a laboratory stress is laid upon the actual doing of things. Actual do- ing is said to be 10 times as effective as seeing, and seeing 7 times as effective as hearing. So, if this be true, we can be said in this particular instance of science to be accomplishing 70 times as much as formerly. More and more this is coming to be a scientific age and young people are urged to study science in high school.
 Attendance, Etc.
 The comparative records of attendance, etc., for the first three months of last year and this year are given below:
 1. Total enrolment in 1919 in grades 219; 1920, 2O6.
 2. Total enrolment in 1919 in high school Al; 1920, 58.
 3. Average daily attendance 1919, 1865; 1920, 219.4
 4. Per cent of attendance 1919, 89.5; 1920, 91.4.
 5. Number of cases of tar diness 1919, 338; 1920, 490.
 An analysis of these figures would require too much space, but suffice it to say that any system that will hold pupils in the high school longer is worth having. One part of the record almost appalls us, however, and we are taking steps to remedy it. This part is the large number of eases of tardiness. An earlier open hour and a 40-minute noon period are, of course, re- sponsible. Parents must CO., operate here or we cannot inn prove very much. We are ashamed of the showing. But we might add that most of this record has been made by comparatively a few pupils who live in town, the pupils from a distance usually being prompt.
 Which School?
 After a thorough trial had been given the new plan every pupil was asked to vote on the question of which school he preferred. Four pupils of the grades voted for the old system, while the high school voted 100 per cent in favor of the new. The four could give no reason for their choice ex- cept that it was "harder to keep up with our books"
 As I write this the whole school has been thrown sud- denly back to the old plan for one day. If our patrons could hear the protest being sent up they might one and all readily concede the laurels to

The Special Work.

Every child from the first to the sixth grade, inclusive, has an opportunity to learn the basic principles of music and drawing under the new system. Mu s ic authorities maintain that the child should be taught to read music as we'll as English. When we reflect how closely music is woven into our very lives we can see the reason for the con- tention. Drawing is taught for fundamentally educational reasons-not that many of the pupils may develop into real artists, although some may do so. But when they draw they construct, think, plan. This is the cradle of education. However, few boys and girls and even parents have not yet realized the purpose of this department.
 Sewing and cooking are another feature this year. It does not take many words to prove the wisdom of teach ing these subjects in school. They are fundamental activ- ities of future life, and often the basis of real happiness and contentment.
 Regular auditorium work is also given with the new sys- tenn. Far more often than is sometimes suspected such fea- lures prove to be the inspira= tion of young lives. Lectures, programs, talks, good pie lures, music, etc., often lead to improvement of mind, soul and body. Special teachers of chorus and community sing ing are provided, and never before have the pupils had such an opportunity for the | cultivation of the voice or the enjoyment of good music. A 1 daily record of all the pro grams, etc., is kept and it is interesting to contemplate the amount of this type of work offered up to the present l time. It must be remembered also that the pupil takes ar

AS was to be expected, the "New
Yorker Staats-Zeitung" defends, or
rather halls, the expulsion of Profes-
sor Fagnani from Germany. Did
not the professor strongly support
Americas part in the war?
The details Of the Fagnani case
are not yet at hand, but unless part
of the story has been suppressed it
speaks only little better for the
German authorities than support of
this act speaks for the "Staats-
Zeitung." In the case of thesGerman
authorities there is the excuse of
misguided hate. But it is difficult to
see how the same excuse can be made
for the supporters of this action in
America unless they are more Ger
man than the Germans.
It is beside the point to argue that
every nation has a right to exclude
whom it will. If pro-Americanism is
to be made a cause for deportation
from Germany, then pro- Germanism
justifies expulsion from America.
The "Staats-Zeitung" should con-
slider where it lands itself.

Clean Hands
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A policeman to be efficient
should make it rule to keep his hands
clean and accept presents from no per-
son. Experience has taught me that
when a person offers money or gift
to policeman there is something be-
hind it-there is \ price attached to it.
1t may or may not be something that
would get policeman into trouble; it
might be simply to keep his eyes or
mouth closed.
If policeman accepts $4,000 or an
automobile from person he would not
feel justified in arresting that person
if he saw him committing criminal Of
tense after receiving such gift. If he
did it would be cast up to him.
By not keeping his hands clean Mr..
Enright has not only put himself in a
bad position but he has set bad ex-
ample to those under him and also lost
prestige. Yesterdays evidence before
the Meyer committee shows that he is
not fit to be on the police force in any
capacity, and he should be removed
without delay. Elk P.

Full Publicity

Senator Harrison's resolution de-
manding publicity for the proceed
ings of the Washington conference
may hardly be rated as born Of
friendliness to the conference or to
see the Harding Administration
profit from the lessons of Mr.. Will
sons adventures, but it is not neces-
sarily to be condemned on this ac-
count. If it is not possible to have
to a perfect degree "open covenants
openly arrived att it seems feasible
to prevent the repetition Of three
great blunders of Paris-secret ses-
sions, loose records and political
censorship.
The Senator urges (D chat the
conference admit representatives Of
the press to the meetings Of the full
conference where the questions for
which the conference was called are
considered;" (2) that "the confer
ence maintain and preserve a record
containing the proceedings Of the
conference" and (3) that the Amer
ican delegates "use their influence
against any form Of censorship on
the part of the conference that will
prevent the public from being in
formed through the press Of the at
t;tude of delegations and nations
touching questions considered in the
conference"
These stipulations in no way seek
to hamper the negotiations of the
conference. They recognize that pre-
liminary informal discussions can
not invariably be made public. But
they also seek to avoid the mistakes
of Paris. The greatest possible pub
licity consistent with the successful
prosecution of the conference must
be the standard Of the Administra-
tion.

The Irish Deadlock
Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune has a reputation
for honesty and fair play. which has
caused me to take exception to certain
remarks with regard to the British
Premier in your editorial entitled "The
Irish Deadlock" in your issue Of the
17hl inst.
In his reply to De Valera. Mr.. George
plainly pointed out that if the British
government recognized the Irish dele
gates as representatives Of a sovereign
state and received them as such it
would entitle those delegates to de-
clare (if they wanted to do so) "that
in preference to the British Empire
they would decide to associate them
selves by treaty with some other for
eign power" and any one who knows
anything about the Sim Fein Irish is
fully aware that they would decide in
favor Of some other foreign power in
preference to England.
This being the case. you are, there
fore, wrong in your conception of the
situation when you say that De valera
was engaged in the ancient and hon.
orable practice Of saving his face" and
that the Premier neglected, on q tenn
porary issue, to close bargain he has
been most anxious to make

Three confirmed Japan's assump-

China's objections were overruled on
the ground that Japan had been fore
sighted enough to compel China in
1915 to agree to a disposition Of the
Shantung rights through negotia-
tion between Japan and Germany.
Albania never made such an as
signment Of rights or territory to
Jugo-Slavia. Whence, then, comes the
jurisdiction which the Council Of
Ambassadors has assumed? Is Al

Albania and Shantung

Albania has asked the League of
Nations to compel Jugo-Slavia tc
stop encroaching on Albanian terri
tory. Jugo-Slavia responds that she
is not encroaching, because the boun-
daries of Albania haven't been fixed
The Council Of Allied Ambassadors
is determining what these boundaries
are to be and hasn't come to q de-
cision.
Albania was recognized Eu-
ropean state before the war, ruled
over by chocolate soldier King,
William Of Wied. This monarch stole
away from Durazzo in panic, but
his abdication didn't alter Albania's
status. She didn't enter the war on
one side or the other, although most
of her territory was seized by Aus
tria-Hungary and she became a sub
theater Of war in the Balkans. Italy
occupied Valona and claimed for a
time protectorate over the whole
country. But this claim was reduced
and then practically waived.
The neutral nations which are
members of the league are much in
terested to know how the territory
OF neutral state can be subject to
delimitation by the Council of Am
bassadors. Why are it's boundaries
OF 1914 not its boundaries now? It
is hard to see what right the victors
in the war have to partition non
enemy state.
Much the same question arose
when the German rights in Shan
tung were transferred to Japan at
the peace conference against China's
protest. Germany had leasehold
in Shantung. Japan expelled her,
China then being neutral. Later
China entered the war on the side
of the Allies. But at Paris the big

Left Ericsson and his people, who dis
covered America nearly 500 years be-
fore Columbus crossed the sea, are not
to be reckoned with the reputed old
Morse pirates, whose customs Mr..
Maxim SO vividly describes. They-the
discoverers Of America-were descend
ants Of early Morse pilgrims who, in
the ninth century, during a period of
sixty years. emigrated to the number
Of $4,000 from Norway to Greenland.

"Big Six"

President Harding will scarcely
lose friends because, breaking in on
busy day, he found time to affix his
signature to a baseball which is to
be auctioned in New York on Septem-
ber 80, when the city, at benefit,
is to honor Christy Mathewson, now
fighting his way back to health in
the Adirondacks.
The act was not that of politi-
clan seeking to WOO popularity by an
affected interest. When his time was
more at his disposal Mr.. Harding
never regarded the time wasted
which he spent with JOY among his
fellow fans. He knew and admired
"Big Six"-his manhood as we'll as
his skill-and thrilled over his
achievements in the days when he
was unbeatable.
There never was such a baseball
hero. He was "Mike" Kelly, "Pop'
Anson and "Pete" Browning COM
bined, with enough left over to make
an CAP Spalding. During the six
teen years his uncovered arm
snatched victory from defeat at the
Polo Grounds he became cult, and
almost a religious deity. Who will
ever forget the fair hair and the
smiling countenance and the hurled
thunderbolts that came whizzing byo
But his prowess was not all physi-
cal. BY the force of his example he
lifted American baseball from rowdi-
