Harry s. Gruver Of Worcester Interviewed
 By Education Board

sick allowances in his community were so generous that teachers who bought health insurance were some times able to earn more money while idle for illness than by teaching.
 Progress Here
 Connecticut is progressive with re- spect to pensions for disabled and superannuated teachers.
 It appears that the tendency near ly everywhere is to make a more in- tensive use of the schools, and the broad, slowly progressing tendency is toward the all year school, which pro- vides 40 weeks of the usual compu1- sory attendance and the rest of the year for voluntary attendance One invention, brought by war in to the schools is the so called intel ligence test, widely used to insure a square deal for children of varying types and capacities.
 This consists of certain questions and operations of a kind which can usually be accomplished, or answered by child of a stated age. Calendar age and mental age, however, are not always the same Some children | reach mental maturity more rapidly than others. Some children are strong in English, some in arithmetic a.bles these children to be loaded ac- l cording to their powers In Worces- ter. the tests are applied under state ! authority.
 
 MT. Gruver says that there is an exceedingly close correspondents be- tween the actual standing of the children in grades, the. teachers judgment and the conclusion drawn from the intelligence tests Almost universally additions are made to the school day, or year, or both to permit more handwork and more physical exercise, and health now has in nearly all curricula an equal standing with book education. The school house is sharing in the general progress.
 Auditoriums and gymnasiums have been added. They are used in the platoon plan in such a. way as to de- crease the cost of the plant per pu- pill, while increasing the value of the school.
 Almost without exception the su- perintendents who have been inter- viewed report a growing sense of the importance of erecting a school house on a larger piece of land, by which aside from health and athletic values, positive dollar economies are often produced.
 For Larger Units The tendency is to the erection of larger units, because they provide a superior school spirit, more advan- tages and great dollar economy. Some places have even suggested tearing down, or selling, a number of smaller schools, and erecting one larger unit
 with the proceeds, taking the savings | from the administration of the larger l schools to pay interest on the bonds l for the new and larger school Broadly, the effort in cities is to restore to the school the advantages of the all around training in mind and hand, which the children have who attend the country school, situ- ated in the midst of a farming pop ulation.

" arlington, July 8.-While the met 'opoltan press is being assailed in the Senate in the interest of tariff extortionists, 1t does not lack defend CTS in that body The able Demo cratic senator from North Carolina CMr: SimmonS), former chairman of the Finance Conlnittee, not only de- tended the integrity of the press but . his usual clear and forcible manner in a recentaspeech. In part, he said:
 'I assume that these gentlemen (Republican tariff makers) are not ment stores so much as they are after the newspapers of the country, the press of the country. That is their obective. We did not hear much talk about the activities and the sinister motives of these importers and depart ment stores until we began to read in- to the Record these editorials from the great metropolitan newspapers of the country denouncing this bill in unmeasured terms. It was these edf- torials under which the senators on the other side, in charge of this bill, sQuirIned and writhed- It was these editorials that drew their fire. But, it became necessary to ascribe a sin ister and a corrupt motive to the . newspapers, especially of the Repub- 1ica press, that were so severely criti- cizing and denouncing this bill; and then for the first time, coming in force, in overwhelming force, we saw and heard these assaults upon the de partment stores and the importers. For what? For the purpose of fixing an ulterior and unworthy motive upon the newspapers for their attacks upon the bill.
 When these great newspapers de- cIared themselves, and when their lead was followed by the big papers of all the large towns of the country, without reference to whether they were importing centers or not. when senators on the other side saw that the clamor against the bill. which started with these newspapers, was being talk en up by the smaller dailies and weeklies throughout the country, and saw the number, day after day, of these assaults from Republican sources, from newspapers that had al- ways supported the theory of protec- ton and Republicanism. with respect to whose partisan Republican affi1ia-

In The Theatres

In the course of the photograph ing of "Beauty's worth.'' a Sophie Kerr story starring Marion Davies, Robert G. Vignola, the director, had a birthday anniversary. Miss Davies decided that a party should be given him and made the arrangements at a weu-known hotel.
 The star invited the director, his assistant, the cameraman, Forrest Stanley, her leading man, and sev- eral other members of her company. Before the dinner began Miss Davies instructed the waiter to wait until the meal had started, then switch off the lights in the private room, take the centerpiece off the table, light the candles on the cake, place it on the table and thus surprise MT. Wig nola.
 When the dinner was under way Miss Davies herself got the surprise. Instead of finding the lights going off, the star noted that even more were lighted. Then the waiter entered with the cake. A circular section had been cut out of the centre of the cake and the candles were out but had obviously been burning. The walters intentions had been good but he unfortunately reversed Miss Da- VieS' instructions.
 "Beauty's worth," a Cosmopolitan Paramount picture, will be presented at Polis theatre four days starting Sunday. Besides the feature picture, showing Earle Williams, in 'The Man from Downing Street." a mystery story of India, there is a comedy, School Day Love-
 "The Little Cottage" comedy with music, heads a vaudeville bill showing for the last times today. There are four other acts of real va riety and merit, making in all & very attractive entertainment.

SENATE NEEDS
 MRS. 0LES0N
Newspaper Article Con- mends Woman Run ming for High Office.
Special to The Times)

Washington July s.-Under the above caption MT. Edward G. Lowry
 sends to his paper, the Philadelphia
 Public Ledger (Rep.), an article high
 ma Dickie Olesen. the Democratic
 nominee for the Senate in Minnesota.
 MT. Lowry expresses the hope that the voters of Minnesota will send Mrs
 O1esen to the Senate, saying that she
 will do the Senate good and that it needs her.
 Sooner or later there will be a wo-
 man Senator" says MT Lowry, "and
 the innovation could not be inaug- urated more happily than by seizing the present opportunity"
 Jeanette Rankin and Alice Robert
 son." says MT. Lowry, have not ap- preciably affected the manners, meth ods, color or practices of the House"
 but he adds, there is warrant for ex- pectation that Mrs. Olesep in the Sen ate would be another story; that she would make her presence felt.' MT. Lowry tells of a speech by Mrs. Olesen at a Jackson Day dinner in Washington where she more than held her own with such Democratic orators as MT. Bryan. the late Champ
 Clark and J. Bruce Kremer. Mrs: Olesen's election" MT. Low
 ry concludes, would freshen the Sen
 ate and quicken interest in it's pro- ceedings. That is worth while. We never have had fair trial of what a woman could do in a legislative body Maybe Mrs. Olesen could re form the Senate"
 The New York World says editorI- ally of Mrs. O1esen's candidacy: Mrs Olesen, judging by her record, would unquestionably be found far less out of place in the Senate than some men who are already there There are many Scandinavians, a race which has favored the entrance of women into public affairs. And, of course the women will vote. Mrs. Olesen has | a least a. chance"
