COEDUCAT|ON NEW
 PLAN IN SWEDEN
Complete Reorganization of the Educational System Is
 Planned by Commission
By hshociated Press

Stockholm, July S.-SWeden's edu- cational system today faces reorgan- lzation, the purpose of which is to place full educational advantages within close reach of every child in the land irrespective of the child's social standing in the community.
 Under the new plan all of Sweden's s public schools, from the elementary grades to the universities, will be CO., educational. At present only the elementary schools and the universi- ties receive both sexes. The Swedish school commission purposes to open the "realskola" and the gym nasium" to girls as well as boys. An important change will be the elimination of several subjects as compulsory and the concentration of individual students on a similar group of subjects, logically related to the occupation or profession which most interests them. Students will be per mitted to start specializing much earlier than at present.
 It is now proposed that virtually the whole educational work of the coun- try, with the exception of few private schools. be taken over by the state. Tuition fees will be practi- cally eliminated. and students will not be encountered by the study of non- essential subjects. The estimated cost of the new system will be about s1000,00 a year more than at present.
 It is proposed also to establish a school. new to the Swedish system of education, to be known as lyceum" which in seven years will take pupil directly from the elementary school to matriculation for the universi- ties.
 Among the languages offered under the new plan will be Latin and Greek and three modern languages in addition to Swedish, namely, English, French and German.

PROD|GAL JUDGE COMES ID ALCAzAR
Screen Production Deals With Old South When Liquid
 Corn First Came

One feature of "Ths Prodigal Judge" which. comes to the Alcazar next wek. is tho painstaking care which Is put Into every little detail rof costume and local color. The story deals with the old south of about 1895, when slavery and coru whiskey were still permitted by the Constitution. To get tho correct Backgrounds. several big location trips were deemed necessary
 For the first, large company was transported to Cedar Rapids. on tho St. Lawrence river, wher on keel boats and rRfts of the type used on the Mississippi before the war;" the actors shot the treacherous rapids.
 Several hundred feet of intensely thrilling action was filmed on this trip. The Cedar Rapids. in all pro- bability, are without parallel on the North American continent. Director Jose stated that he wanted to film the best and most dangerous rapids available. Nothing else would do. The Cedar Rapids were decided upon after several weks of location search and consideration. Albert E. Smith. president of Vitagraph. accompanied the producing units to Canada and stated that his return trip to New York was a much more comfortable one, as these rapids had never been "shot" in a boat as small as the one in which Jean Paige and a few other members of the company used In spinning through them.
 The story of The Prodigal Judge" is well worth all the pains that have been expended in making 1t. It has been built on solid foundatlon--a real story. Everyone who has read the novel can understand why 1t took the country by storm. It abounds in quaint, picturesque and lovable char acters who appeal both to the heart and the sense of humor. The people in 1t are not just "characters"-they are men and women who laugh aud weep, who hate and love and do things. There are many big scenes, such as race tracks, death defyins s rapids shots-which are all of this the rapids used being the most treacherous in North America--the flight through the weeds, the big row scene, the quaint duel scene be- tween Mahaffy and the blackguardly Fentress and scores of other big scenes. The last Is one of the mos, famous pistol fights in history CT fiction. The Judge. who has chal- lenged Fentress Is treacherously de- 1ayed from appearing on the field of combat. His old friend Solomon Ma ha'N who has never held a pistol in hand in his entire life, keeps the rendezvous. determined that hts friends honor shall not be smirched He and Fentress take their positions 10 paces apart When the judge finally appears on the scene he views a slight that Is dramatic.

What has come over the pres ent generationf Here was a perfectly good officer, one who had seen ser- vice with the A. F. r. in France. who knows all the hardships and horrors of modern warfare, an officer who has seen the untold suffering caused by war: yet he was so little im- pressed by all that he had seen and heard that he got married.

 Due to a typographical error in the letter advising the date of encamp- ment as being from August IA to 27, it-is desired to give the correct dates which will be fro mAugust 13 to 27, inclusive.
 All troopers should consult their employers, such as have not been seen. and make arrangements for ob- taining leave of absence for this period. The Sabres> strength is low, due to having lost several troopers who have permanent ymoved from the state, and there will be little time which can be devoted to recruiting back to full strength. For this req son 1t will be necessary that every man do his utmost to obtain leave to make the encampment this year.
 There are many reasons for going into the field and learning to do things The chief one is the effect of this period on the soldier In train Ing. Theory is excellent. and neces- sary. But just as excellent, and more necessary. is practice. One can theorize on the correct method of raising vegetables, or Cain, or any thing else. but the man who can &C., tually raise the article Is the man upon whom the consumer looks as the producer. Field training for the sol- dier is as necessary to his well being and education as cultivation is to a vegetable, and the well-trained sol. dier is almost as necessary to tho welfare of the nation as Is the prod uct of the soil. Far more necessary to the civilian soldier than to the regular Is the period of field train ing. The physical must be considered

He is placed in position where he either does not have the time to improve his physi- cal conditions or is engaged in the pursuit of wealth and happiness to such an extent that he pays no atten- tion to anything else. In the latter case, it would take more, considerac:y more, than Is days to wean him from the idea of making money; to make him forget it long enough and thor oughly enough to derive any benefit from the training. It Is with the former case. then, that we must deal. Having arrived at the place of en- campment, the area of the organiza- tion is policed: made livable. This usually requires about three days. Then the real fun begins. First call at 5:15, with Is minutes to dress. After reveillee, a short bout with a setting-up exercise; then breakfast, and a few minutes rest before the days work begins. Two or three hours drill in the morning, and school or other form of instruction in the afternoon constitutes an average day.

DISAPPEARING MONEY

 In an effort to avert the small change crisis France issued onze- aluminium "jetons," or one-franc and two franc tokens. These are disap- bearing at the rate of s0o,000 a day almost as fast as the mint turns them out. According to authorities these tokens, though intrinsically all most valueless. are going into the "woolen stockings" of the notoriously thrifty French to join the silver coins that vanished long ago. Means are being sought to force the people tc disgorge the Jetons.

When the smoke of battle cleared away the bride was found, but no groom. nor had he been seen within the past two or three hours. Discouraged. but not daunt- ed. the dusty and powder begrimed troopers began all over. It was now II o'clock, and another hour would see them victorious or defeated. Did say defeated? Never, Not if they had to break the world with Ther- mold. At 11:30, Lieutenant Riddle, leading his patrol in boni point form ation down Twentieth street. caught sight of party approaching from the opposite direction. Halting the patrol and concealing 1t behind the loose paving blocks of Second avenue, the doughty lieutenant crept forward through the mud to investigate. Imagine his surprise and delight at espying Lieutenant McCray. Dazed and uncertain in fhe progress down the street. the hunted officer was no match for the powerful party which attacked him from all sides. Several cups of strong coffee gave the offi- cer strength to get back to his hotel where she refused to speak.
