Teachers Robbed,

The teachers were shocked and speeches. when they discovered pretty little Miss Snow Drop peeking shyly out of the corners of her lovely brown eyes at the young football hero and even writing to and receiv- ing notes from him. They were not speeches. long, for the edict has gone forth that little Oriental yam pires over fourteen shall be banished from the coeducational classroom.
 Just what effect this severe ruling will have upon the University of Picking is not known. A number of Chinese young women of the more serious type are attending this uni versity and making a splendid record. Will the doors of the college be clos ed to co-eds almost as soon as they are opened because of the gay little fappers?
 The butterfly, who does not go in for high-brow accomplishme ments, wh o has a private tutor who teaches her English, French, dancing and foreign manners and customs. does not worry her pretty head about the actions of the Ministry of Education. She is interested in learning the latest dance step, in following the newest French and American fashions and adopting the style as far as possible and in embr roid ering her elaborate rousseau.
 Educators, parents, old fossils, an- cestors may rave and rant and tear their hair-but so much are the dainty little lappers in fair Cathay like the American girl that we don't believe all the laws and rules and punishnlents in China will stop them.

DR. SIMONS SUGGESTS PLAN ID ASSIST
 SCHOOL BOY

Washington, Nov 3o-.'The imme- diate need in educational circles to- day is to purge the United States of the sation-the Condemnation that we are a nation of 'siXth-g grad ers'," declares Dr. Abram Simons, eminent rabbi and widely-known edu- cator.
 "Unfortunately a large portion of the children that attend school are compelled to abandon their studies af- ter they reach the sixth grade" said Simons. This is due primarily to the fact that adverse financial circum- stances in the family make such a step inevitable"
 Asked what remedy he would sug- gest. Simons said:
 "A system should be inaugurated in the public schools of the country whereby the boy whose financial aid is required in the home can attend his school classes for the theoretical l instruction, and then, as part of the school work, be given actual practice in the work which he is studying
 'This work Sinlons continued should be actual in it's scope, for which the boy should receive remu- eneratGon. In this manner the boy would be doing his bit for the house. hold and at the same time be enabled to continue his studies in school with out interruption-'

 The last mentioned point is. of course, the most vital in the decree, in dicaing as it does the end of the attempt to ration a population of over 120, 100000 by the government.

 What the Rations Were As a matter of curiosity the rations distributed in one month among high government officials, men of learning who live in the government hotels, and Soviet sailors are appended: High officials (nonthly 5 pounds of flour, pounds of sugar, 500 cig- arettes, Is pounds of meat, F pound of tea, pounds of chocolates, 2 pounds of salt, 1 pound of soap, matches.

MUCH WORK AHEAD FOR COLLECTOR
 AND STAFF
13O,OOO Tax Bills Must Be Made Out By Tax CoIlec- tor Within Few Months; Three Taxes Coming Due State Personal Tax, Municipal Regular Tax, and Special Tax.

Before The advent of the new year. 1So,ooo individKal tax bills must be made out by the tax collectors office and forwarded to 130,0o0 taxpayers. This will give a small idea of the great volume of detailed work that has accumulated and must be com pleted within a. limited space of tine by Collector Edward A Drew and his clerical staff. When the 1ast~bil has been made out and despatched as g warning to the property owners and voters, then the hardest task of all must be tack1ed-that of making coll lections for the 130.000 bills.
 Within the next few months, three separate and dis tnct taxes are due The first is the state personal tax, or poll tax as it is known in some places. This year. the clerical work win be doubled due to the eligibility of 35s- GOO women to pay the tax, in addi- ticn to the 45,o0o male voters
 The second is the regular municipal tax of 2se, and the third $ the spe- ciaI six n2i1l tax. For both the regular and spsdal tax, 25.oo0 bills mus. ne made out and collected.
 And besides the work that is con- sta ntIy developing. there still remains Alle gigantic duty of collec ing q ,Ooas- eco in back taxes for years gone oy

London, Nov. s0-what left Rus sia the newspapers. thus refecting public interest in the matter, were full of explanations of and comments on the decree, signed by Leniu and other commissars of the people, in which in effect the practical abolition of the rationing system and its substitution by wages in money was announced.
 This decree, the logical sequel to that issued three months back auth orizing private trading. marked a.n- other stage in the process of turning undiluted Communism into a system of modified capitalism.
 The failure of the world revolu- tion'' Is offered as the explanation of this reversal of policy on the part of the Soviet Government, although other causes, such as the realization that many reforms have been too rap i'd and too radical to be dtgested by toned.
 The decree referred to Is a really statesnnannke and courageous docu- mtnt, in which some blunt truths are which, If they came from capitalist governn ents. would most certainly pnovoke storm of protest. Payment By Results
 In effect the popular (and ignor- ant) conception of Communism, as meaning no work and plenty of food, and wages supplied by the govern ment for everyone excepting the hated bourgeois, IS replaced by one which insists on hard work.
 The need for the adoption of the payments by results" system in the Russian factories, and the rejection Of the theory that all should be paid alike-the unslxi1led laborer with the highly-ski1led, technically trained manager-were the most striking fea- lures of the decree.
 Some fears were entertained in gov ernment circles when I was in Rus sia that the blunt truths mentioned might not prove pala ble to the Rus sian workers, and attempts were be- ing made as I left Petrograd to ex- plain, by means of posters, as gently as possible, the meaning of the de- cree to them.
 What the Decree Means The following summary, transcrfb- ed from posters affixed in the city, indicates the main points of the de- cree and the way they have been put before the Russian working classes: 1. No square pegs in round holes; no more skilled engineers doing the work of stabIennen;no efficient trade unionist as potato growers; no girl typists acting as charwomen.
 2. The more you produce, the more you will earn.
 3. All payments previously made in kind to be made in money.
 A. Wages to be paid to the worker must be such as will enable him to meet the expenses of rent, heat, light ing water, clothing barber, bath, theatres and other amusem ents, rail- way travelling, food for himself and family.
 5. Output of work to regulate pay

STAMFORD

To start off the work of placing a new valuation on Stratford property, the first meeting was held last even. ing between the local members or the tax board and the Philadelphia representatives who expect to cover the town in abou1 two months. one Of the first l.umors to emenate rom the session was that a valuation or $100 a front foot on center property would be enforced. Some say that a piece of land couldn't be purchased in this section for five times that amount, but if the same light valu- ton is placed in proportion all over the town, and enough money is then realized from a tax not to exceed 70 mills, there would probably be no complaint. Otherwise there may be another howl added to the long chain
 of kicks and complaints. In the meantime, there are still some with temerity enough to suggest that 1t perhaps might help if people were made to pay taxes, in many cases long overdue.
 Tomorrow night a special meeting of the council will be held. At that matters will occupy all of the time, and perhaps a definite tax rate will be forthcoming. However, it is hard to understand how this can be settled until the Philadelphians have a chance to tell the folks what is what, unless in the meantime the old valua- tions and something similar to the old rate, is allowed to prevail for another year.
 While all this is going on another Stratford citizen who believes that the courci1-manag plan Is going all right far; that the town man. ager has enough authority to manage affairs without interference, and who hopes that the manager will not listen to too many suggestions, but go it on his "own,' has been dfscov- cred. This citizen is Attorney John

sion Is financing the extension of the paving on Barnum avenue from Main stree to the town line. The interval between the present paving and the tracks Is being paved, and even this addition to the paved portion of the highway will be a great help, and will take away large element of danger, danger to autoists, and dan ger to the present paving which is rapidly being damaged.
 After the work is done, under the direction of Town Engineer Paul H. Goodell, the state will take up the legal question, as to whether or not the Connecticut company is required to pay any portion of the amount; and if so how much. Stratford people are gratifed to learn that the State Highway Commission is going to have the paving done first and iron out the technicaEies afterwards.
 The committee that so successfully took care of the Washington bridge celebration will meet in the Town court room tonight and settle up all affairs in connection with the mem orable occasion.
