RED SCHOOLHOUSE NOT FINE MODEL
 IT IS PAINTED

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Add to the list of idols smashed to smithereens by the efficiency of modern science that quaint institution of American rural life-the little red schoolhouse" how denounced by educational ex- perts of Columbia University as "a danger to national progress"
 Experiments conducted for the past year in a tiny school in Warren Coun- ty, N. J., have proved to Dr. Fannie Dunn, of Teachers College, Columbia, that the problems attending the evils of the "cult of the little red school house." as Dr. Dunn calls it, can be solved by the same methods that have brought progress in teaching the young of the cities 'how to shoot"
 Forty-four pupils attended the typi- cal schoolhouse in Warren County, which was seven miles from trunk line railroad, two miles from a post office, and out in the open country. A single teacher was forced to instruct eight grades. There are still 00,000 similar schools in the United States, just 100000 too many, Columbia edu- Cators say. They hope to cut the num- Der to 10000. Changes that seem ap- pallingly revolutionary to Americans ,,rhn hor tho iriI r1o ct o-t demeanor that was exacted of every country schoolboy who was forced to attend the little red schoolhouso of ears ago, are recommended for thOsa cne-teacher institutions that will re- main. Unrestricted movement about the room, the installation of pupil helpers for the teacher, more "clubby" spirit among the youngsters. and the application of the "automat" idea in teaching the children to gain large part of the education them selves from the school library, are part of tho now 0lan evolved from the War zen County tests.
 Desnite Whittier's legend of the fam. ous schoolboy of the "li'l red build, l ing" whose fleet of tan" betokened splendid health, Professor Thomas W Wood of the Eye Sight Conservation 1 Council of America, who Is interest, ed in the experiments, says that S7 per cent of the pupils in rural schools 1 in New York states have health de fects, as opposed to 72 per cent of un healthy city children. Tn the whole 1 United States, Dr. Wood says, 15.O0O, | 900 of the 24OOO,O00 school children ] have bodily defects.

SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE "COLOR" FOR CITIZENSHIP

HONOLULU, Sept. 29.-The United States Supreme Court will be called upon next month, probably for the first time in history, to decide the "color" of a man in the appeal of Takao Ozawa, Honolulu Japanese, who is attempting to gain American citizenship by naturalization, accord ing to advices reaching here, Upon the outcome of the test case rests the disposition of several other sim liar suits in which Japanese have at tempted to become naturalized
 Ozawa contends that he is entitled to citizenship on the ground that he has sought to mould his life along strictly American lines in accordance with the best American customs and ideals, and on the further ground that he is "white' and is eligible for citi- zenship under the law which provides that only free white person or per son of African descent or nativity may be naturalized.
 Ozawa's efforts to obtain citizen ship began here several years ago. The United States district court for Hawaii denied his contention and this decision was upheld by the federal cir cult court of the Ninth District in Cali yciN hn pealed to the Supreme Court.
 Ozawa contended that originally Jananese were of the white race. He traced the history of Japan several thousands of years to the Ainu tribe and said that James M. Beck, solicitor general of the United States State Department had expressed the opinion that that particular branch of the Japanese race has characteristics of the Caucasian.
 Ozawa came to Hawaii when a young man and was educated In the American schools here. In one of the briefs submitted here Ozawa said that he had taken special pains to educate his children in American public schools in order that they might be. come loyal American citizens, citizen, ship having been acquired by them through their birth on American soil He said his children had not been taught the Japanese language and that nothing pertaining to Japan or the 1 Japanese had been allowed to creep into their daily lives, education or their religion"
