the employer TO the employe and similar
questions of moment.
Great Importance is attached to the
reading Of the newspapers and much in
telligent discussion follows in the wake
Of this. 1t is not unusual to bear able
handling of the current questions that
would be more or less Greek to the
average middle aged dyed In the wool
American. Before the students ar.
graduated they must read sixty good
books. ..
In spite Of the fact that school closed
several days ago, the principals Office
hummed with activity. Girls and
teachers whisked in and out of her
stronghold informally, asking for just
a minute and always getting 1t.
I'VE believe u great deal In the In
dividual here" DIR. Wilson explained.
That, believe, is one of the reasons
Of our success with the girls Of various
natioDallties. For instance. we divide
each class into three groups. The girls
are ranked according to their quickness
to grasp things and are given brief
intelligence test for the groupings.
THE intelligence test Is made by
means of pictures. so that absence of a
working knowledge of English has
nothing to do with the success Of the
answers
English courses are In charge Of Miss
Olive Fly Hart, history courses under
Miss Ruth Wangcr and science under
the direction Of DR.. NJ. Louise Nichols.
DIR. Wilson pointed tc the fact that
these three teachers have more oppoi-
tunitics than others for close contact
Americanzation work because of the
nature Of the branches, but she gave un-
stinted praise to the co operation OF
all teachers nt the school and attributed
its efficiency to this co operation.
Co. operate with Parents
A particularly powerful agent of
Americanization in work outside the
school is Miss Elizabeth Mcdowell. who
is known is the school visitor. She
goes into tho homes Of the girls and cf-
fccts co. operation between parents and
teachers.
One student who has attracted q
great deal of attention because of her
unusual talent is Marian Anderson.
She is colored girl with remark
able voice. She is able to earn money
for singing lessons by her concert work.
The girls Mt the school are proud of
her and enthusiastic about her future.
She expects to go on in concert work.
In addition to the regular course in
the school, which included all business
and academic ones. the clubs of the
girls are looked upon as strong agents
of the melting pot.
South Philadelphia High is the school
which brought out the famous Manual
Of Manners. teaching girls how to con-
duct themselves under. all circum-
stances. Plans are under way to bring
out the manual in book form. The
proceeds of the sale of 1t are to go
toward founding scholarships for girls
who cannot stay at school because their
support is needed at home.

Confined from Pare One
was being led to the jail in default Of
500. 900 bail.
Zell, it is believed, had planned TO
escape. 1t developed last night that the
trust company's officials had discovered
O shortage in his accounts several weeks
ago. The matter at that time was tenn.
porarily adjusted, but with the visit of
the examiners from the State, Iell was
dismissed pending an investigation and
had been at home two days. When the
officers arrived at his apartment he was
near the door with his hat and coat on.
A taxicab stood at the curb. IL van
ished MS the detectives brought him to
the street.
Within recent months Zell had been
dabbling in stocks and bonds through
Philadelphia house. it is said. He spent
hour after hour during the day watch-
ing the blackboard at a local broker :
house. Heavy speculation and down
ward trend Of the market caused him to
make inroads into the trust company's
funds in an effort to save himself. is the
theory advanced by his friends. who
seem still to have faith in him.
Known As james Wilson
II is said that Zell used the name OF
James Wilson" during his specula
ton. He is declared to have plunged
so rccklessly in Philadelphia that his
name was frequently asked. AS James
Wilson he attracted attention on the
stock blackboard rooms in Philadelphia
An account Of James WILSON, 10
which Iell has been linked. has been
discovered in the closed bank.
A fund Of 800. 900. set aside for an
unspecifed purpose by the directors of
the trust company, has been placed win
the banks assets to cover shortages due
to Iells populations.
This was decided upon last night AZ
q meeting Of the directors OF IN" trust
company offices. At the close Of the
meeting members of the board stlll
that they did not know how
deep Yell had reached into the banks
funds and would not know definitely for
some time. They admitted that 5000
depositors had more than a million dol
lars in the trust company's Christmas
fund These deposits are exclusive Of
the big accounts and farmer deposits.
The bank will remain closed today.
Iell still refuses to discuss the details !
of his speculations. Immediately after |
being confined in the county Jail he re-
1ucsted that all visitors be kept away. |
His speculations are said to have been !
carried on for a period of two years.
Recently he purchased a plot Of
ground In this city on which he plan
ned to erect handsome home. He
owns a cottage at Ocean Grove. which |
his wife and two children are now oc-
rupying.
Icll came to the trust compdny in
1916. Born in Akron Laucastcr
County. he knew the thrift and the
habits of the Lancaster County farmers
and was thought the ideal man to bring
their business to the bank. He was
'ashier Of the Maytown National Bank !
