Water Is Pumped Into
Dismal Swamp to
Put Out Fires

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 27.-
RightfulIy taking its place with
the classical "Coals to New
CASTLE paradox, is the spec
,tacle Of forces of workmen to-
day engaged in pumping water
into bitches in Dismal Swamp
to control fires that are still
smouldering in the dry bogs
and underbrush there.
Forest wardens say the blazes
are under control.
Due to shifting winds,
dense mantle Of smoke from the
Dismal Swamp fires enyeloped
Norfolk and other Hampton
Roads cities and towns during
the night and made breathing
difficult. The smoke screen OK
tends far to sea and passengers
on incoming steamers today be-
lieved great fire had occurred
in this city.

ARMENIAN ORPHANS GET
 AMERICAN TREATMENT
Each Child Treated as Individual, Method Hitherto Unbcard
 of in Asiatic Country.

Leninakan, Russian Armenia, Sept. II CP -' A novel experiment in education is being tried with signal success by one of the great American orphanages here. Each child is treated as an individual, and a separate timetable is drawn up for his benefit. Class work is largely abolished in favor of indi- Vidual training in workshops and at daily household tasks. Each child is encouraged to specialize in the particular work for which he seems to have capacity and in- Clination.
 This system is particularly neces- sary in these Near East relief insti- tutions because every child is re- quired to leave the orphanage al the age of 16, by which age he must be equipped to earn his own living at some trade. Twenty-nine different trades and handicrafts arc being taught in the workshops. and the graduates who have been ap. prenticed out during the past three years are now employed in 235 diff. fcrent occupations, many of then showing great promise of success.
