Evanston superintendent Announces
New Regime Which includes Mu-
sic, Folk Dances and Movies.

Evanston, Ill.--NluSc is just as inn
portant as the multiplication table and
folk dancing is as great spur to
youthful brains as is geography, in
the opinion of Frederick w. Nichols,
superintendent of school district No.
&c, comprising the South Evanston
schools, who announced new regime
for the lincoln. Oak on, Central and
Washington grade schools.
The four schools will be open to
the pupils from $50 O'Clock in the
morning until ten at night. Glasses
will last until 3 80 in the afternoon.
but pupils will be permitted to go
home at any hour their parents de-
sire.
II am going to eliminate home
work." said Superintendent Nichols.
ut is the bugbear of school children.
And there will be no examinations !;
they merely worry the youngsters.
The students will do all their scholas-
tic work right in the classrOoms."
In addition, the schools will remain
open until ten o'clock in the evening
music, languages. art, dralnatics, ath-
letlc games, folk dances, domestic
science and movies. The parents will
be invited to come to these classes
with their children.
Examinations are an unhealthy,
antiquated tyranny" added Superin-
tendent Nichols. "Growing children
should not be compelled to SIT in class
rooms all day and then lug books
home for night lessons. You can't
get an estimate Of a child's mental
equipment by insisting that he cram
lot Of facts in his head and scribble
as many as he can remember on the
semester exam papers.
I'm going to teach these youngsters
to think for t, rmseves. Dancing and
music lessons will be mental tonics.
BY the new classes pupils will gain
self-reliance, love Of school life,
and agile minds"

ROSEPINE NOTES

Everyone at school has been extreme
ly busy the past week with mid-term
tests. Wednesday. Thursday, and Fri
day were devoted exclusively to exam
nations. A halliday was given to
each examination and when through
the pupils were allowed to go home.
The eleventh grade boys went hunt
ing Thursday afternoon and had the
good luck to get one bird. The eIev-
enth grade girls and the entire eighth
grade remained at home Thursday, as
there was no examination for them on
that day. All the teachers were
groaning under their heavy load Of
papers which have to be graded. We
kids think it hard to take test, but |
presume if we had those stacks of pa
pers to correct, we would be nearly
killed.

From an economic points of view.
the disarmament amounts TO little. Per-
haps 81 a year taken off the taxes of
the hundred million people of the Un-
tied States. And dozen or two battle
ships scrapped means nothing in view
of the development of the airplane and
the submarine. The chemists and av-
iators are now the fighters, Of the com
ing battles. Clouds of poison gas can
be droppel from the sky and whole cit
les wiped out. This scares some, and
a law is to be enacted that civilians
cannot be attacked. That was tacit
law in the last war. yet devastated
