CONVENTION OF
 RECREATION ASSOC.
 TO BE HELD IN OCT.

New York City, Aug. 16.-The 11th National Recreation Congress is an nounced by the Playground and Re creation Association of America, un- der the auspices of which it will be held. The congress will meet in At 1antic City, October 16-21.
 Labor has a very vital interest in this conference.
 Last spring, organized labor in H. linois and Iowa helped tremendously in putting over successful local votes which established year round recrea- ton system9 in nirse cities in those two states. These referendum votes were made possible by recent 1egis1a- tion which required local elections on establishing public recreation on the presentation of a petition signed by a certain percentage of voters. The establishing of these recreation sys- tems will mean Ia great deal to the rank and file of working people and every citizen in the communities in volved.
 The American Federation of Labor, the United Mine Workers of America, and numerous other national and state bodies representing labor have heart fly endorsed the recreation movement and the leadership that has been given 1t by the Playground and Recreation l Association of America More than 1 680 cities and towns have established recreation facilities, and 281 of them i have employed year round directors to give leadership in public recreation and see that the greatest use is made of , facilities and opportunities afforded.
 Among the topics to be discussed are: Real estate and playgrounds objectives of community recreation community music, physical efficiency family recreation, and camping
 A whole session will be devoted tc industry and recreation.
 Information concerning the congres: may be obtained from Thomas E Rivers, secretary Of the congress com

disputes both within and without the organization. The time necessary for this work could not consistently and honestly be given to hte Federation and the national campaign at the same time and even though many of his staunch Labor friends in Connecticut advised against his retirement and ad- vocated appointment of a temporary officer to take his place, MT. Ornburn decided finally to resign as secretary and organizer so that successor could be named before the state con- vention and carry on the work.
 As to his position as second vice president of the International Union of Cigarmakers the situation Is greatly different The organization Is headed by George w. Perkins with Samuel Gompers as first vice-president and MT. Ornburn next in line. While thus he holds very important place in the cigarmakers councils, sessions of the executive body are held only from time to time and therefore will not in terfere materially with his campaign work for Davis election. It Is under stood that had it done so he would have also resigned from that office but was advised against doing so by other in ternational officers with whom he con- suited.
 When his appointment was an
 r. asked by newspapermen in New York whether or not 1t was an answer to the action of the A. F. of L. council Tn advocating the election of La Toilette and Wheeler. MT. Spellacy promptly replied that the campaign managers are not answering Anybody, but was going through the middle of the line and straight for a touchdown"
 [ MT. Ornburn has already taken up his duties m New York and naturally much of hls time must be spent in that city. He has no intention, however, of removing his residence from New Haven but will commute here as often ,.as possible during the campaign and take an active part Ill the campaign hereabouts in the fall He IS now busy perfecting his organization and has the hearty assistance of prominent Labor 1 leaders in New York and New Jersey who despite the action of the executive council will support Davis and the Democratic ticket rather than La Fol 1ette.

line of demarcation between gradua- tion from the elementary school to the high school. It is a great mistake in education that there is this division, and the best advantages will accrue to the education of all the people if the program is approached from the view point that education is continuous and there is no halfway stopping place such as the elementary school and junior high schools. It is the ultimate aim of our unions to have compulsory education provided for all the children up until they graduate from high school"

NEW YORK'S WINNING FIGHT
 ON GARY SYSTEM PRESAGES
 DEATH OF PLAN IN CHICAGO
By International Labor News Servic.

By International Labor News Service.
 Chicago, Aug. Mathematician La bor News Services account of the fight being conducted by the Chicago Federation of Labor and the Chicago Teachers Federation against the "Garyizing" of the Chicago public schools has attracted countrywide at tention.
 The account was read by Peter J. Brady, chairman of the committee on education and banking of the New York State Federation of Labor and New York City, who has come to the assistance of the organized labor forces of Chicago in an interesting and Illuminating letter that he has written to Victor A. Olander, secre- tary-treasurer of the Illinois State Federation of Labor.
 MT Olander is leading Chicago la bor's fight against the plan of the board of education to adopt the pla- toon system, junior highs and intelli- gence tests for pupils in the Chicago public schools. The executive board of the Chicago Federation of Labor has denounced the plan as an attempt to introduce the Hindu castel system into the local public schools, and the Chicago Teachers Federation, has

characterized the plan as the factory system of education"
 MT. Brady in his letter to MT. Olan- der refers to the new departure as the get-educated-quick' system, and tells of the methods employed by organized labor to defeat efforts to put over similar plan in the New York City public schools several years ago.
 After saying that it is evident that you have a situation in Chicago very similar to one we had in New York almost 10, years ago, when the late Mayor Mitchell attempted to Garyize our school system" MT. Brady then says in his letter to Mr. O1ander:
 Our unions took such vigorous interest in the school situation that the mayoralty election of 1916 was decided entirely upon school issues and we succeeded in driving out all of the per nicious influences of the Rockefeller Foundation and others which were then i'll control of our school system"
 MT. Brady inclosed copy of the New York State Federation of Labor educational program and gave valuable advice to Chicago labor. He further said:
 Please note in our State Fedora ton of Labor program that we are endeavoring to destroy entirely the
