MODERN SCHOOL BOYS

A prominent British educator says this about the
English school boy:
The modern school boy demands far
variety and greater width of interest than his
predecessor, and is imaginative BY split
ting his interests, it is true he does not reach
that level of knowledge in any particular study
attained by his predecessors, who concentrated
on a narrow field of work. The present genera
tion has quite definitely far greater interest,
for example, in art, drama and musical appre
ciation which is reflected indeed in the curricula
of our public schools and the life of educational
institutions throughout the country. These new
interests were, doubt the latent possession
of his predecessor in the nineties, but they were
allowed to remain undeveoped, and appeal
made to them.
The obvious result of this change has been
TO strengthen the boys individuality
1t is likely that these things are equally Of
the American school boy sir. Here however, there
is complaint of too much variety and scattering of
interests which may also scattering Of ab-
tiles. We hear, too, complaints that schools are
turning out standardized boys and girls, all just alike
and lacking Individuality
There is some truth in these criticisms there IS
truth in the Engiishmans observations And possibly
there golden still to be attained in which
centraton and breath Of interest both be achieved

Hold Conference to
Aid N. Y. Strikers
BY S. GLo5ERMAN
worker Correspondent

LOS ANGBLES-(By Mail.)- The
Cloakmakers' Local No. So called a
conference. of local labor unions in be-
half of aid to the 10000 striking cloak
makers of New York. The first con-
ference was held on October IA at
Needle Trades Hall, where twenty-one
organizations responded.
Brother Shlomorvitz, president of
Local No. 80, acted as chapman, and
Secretary Sacks of that local as secre-
tary. .s
The conference went on record to
send $1,000 at once to the New York
strikers. The excellent spirit of the
conference is attributed to the prevail
ing sentiment for solidarity in the
ranks of labor.
The conference decided to arrange a
tag day and to hold various entertain
ments, etc. Altho this first confer
ence was successful, there are many
more organizations expected to take
part in the next one.
