No Exams, No Home Work In
These Public Schools.
Evanston superintendent Announces
New Regime Which includes hu-
sic, Folk Dances and Movies.

Evanston, nl.--Muslc is just as Inn
portant as the multiplication table and
folk dancing Is as great a spur to
youthful brains as Ii geography, In
the opinion of Frederick W. Nichols,
superintendent of school district No.
70. comprising the South Evanston
schools, who announced a new regime
for the Lincoln. Oakton, Central and
Washington grade schools.
The four schools will be open 10
the pupils from 8 $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 60
home at any hour their parents de-
sire.
II am going to eliminate home
work." said Superintendent Nichols.
"It 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
for special classes In manual training,
music. languages, art, dramatics, ath-
letic 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
a 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 themselves. Dancing and
music lessons will be mental tonics
By the new classes pupils will gain
self-reliance, love Of school life
and agile minds"

u. S. DISOWNS YANKS
Men Who Joined Spanish Army
Hit by State Department.
Officials Say American Recruits Need
Not Apply to consuls or Diplomat
le Agents for Assist
ance.

Two hundred and fifty Americans
who have enlisted In the Spanish army
and taken oaths of allegiance to the
Spanish crown, are now at Ceuta. a
iebarkatlon point on the coast Of Mo-
rocco.
They are awaiting transport to the
zone where Spanish troops are waging
war on Moroccan reyolutionists.
These Americans are mostly yeter-
ans of the World war. Some OF them
we're officers. They were picked up by
Spanish recruiting agents In New
York and New Orleans. Most Of them
Joined the Spanish forces as a refuge
from unemployment and starvation.
If the reverses and heavy casualties
which thus far have marked the Span.
lsh campaigns In Morocco continue
when the Americans get into action,
their chances of returning to the
United States alive will be very slen-
der.
Spain has used the same methods
in colonlzlng Morocco she used in set
Ting South Amerlca-murder, raplne
and pillsge. Her tenure OF Morocco
has been marked by series Of wars
and rebelllons, while French occupancy
of adjacent sections of North Africa
has been highly satisfactory both to
natives and Europeans.
Lieut.. Col. Victor p. Vidal, military
attache of the Spanish embassy here.
officially verified In an interview re-
ports that Spanish agents had recruit
ed In America forces for the Morocco
campaign.
But we stopped a month ago" he
said. "Up to that time we had ac-
cepted $50 men. Hundreds Of appli-
cations still are pending. Many OF the
recruits were of Spanish or South
American descent"
The State department declared II
will have nothing to do with Ameri-
cans In the Spanish forces. and that
they need not apply to American con-
sular or diplomatic agents for relief In
case they get into trouble.

RATHER BE A BOOSTER

I'd rather be booster,
The smallest one in town,
Than to be the biggest knocker
And try to tear it down.
I'd rather be a booster,
And only boost a mite,
Than to be a knocker, knocking
At everything in sight.
I'd rather be booster,
And wear a pleasant smile,
Than be a grouchy knocker
Complaining all the while.
I'd rather be a booster,
With a purpose good and true,
Than sit around a-knocking,
Now, really, wouldn't you?
