William W. Beatty, superintendent

and president of the Progressive
Education Association, charged
here yesterday.
Mr.. Beatty insisted that this
RECOMMENDATION in school procedure
must be broken in such a way
that more emphasis will be placed
on the needs and interests of the
individual pupil.
Mr.. Beatty blamed the "stulti-
flying influence of the colleges" for
what he termed the failure of sec
ondary schools to meet the needs
of large percentage of the STU
dents.
He deplored the colleges insist
ence on the same iron-clad en-
trance requirements for every
student.
These requirements" he said,
make it necessary for high
schools to hand out a prescribed
educational diet of so many credits
in language, so many credits in
science and so many credits in
mathematics. Some Of the students
would be doing much better by
studying art and music"

VINO 1el8I6Q lIOil tO4 W DOL D. -
In the third year of his reign,
the king was forced to Danish his
queen, Vashti, because she dis
obeyed a royal command to ap-
pear at a banquet.
The problem Of choosing a sue
cessor was solved by Haman, one
of the kings chamberlins, who
suggested all the beautiful
maidens of Persia be gathered to-
gether and a queen chosen from
the group.
The maiden chosen queen was
Esther, beautiful cousin and Waro
of Mordecai, a Jew living IN Shu-
shan.
AS a reward for his suggestion,
the king elevated Haman to po-
sition second only to the KING
and ordered all to bow before
him. The only person to dlsooey
was Mordecai, refusing to DOW
before any one but his God.
A NGERED, Haman learned
N Mordecai was a Jew ana
plotted to destroy all Jews, in re-
venge. He casts lots (the WORD
for lots in Jewish is Purlm' from
which is derived the name OF holl-
day), to determine the date of the
slaughter. The lot fell on the thlr-
teenth day of the month OF Adar.
Through a ruse, Haman OBJ
tanned the kings permission ana
the royal signet ring, with which
he signed a decree ito destroy, to
slav and to cause to perish all
Jews both young and old, little
children and women, in one day
and to take the spoil of them for
a prey
Hating Mordecai, Haman Or
dered a gallows built on which to
hang Mordecai. That night the
king could not sleep. He read the
book of records and saw where a
plot by two wicked chamberlalns
to kill the king had been fruS-
trated by Mordecai.
Learning Mordecai had not
been honored for his service, the
king called Haman and asked:
What shall be done to the man
whom the king delights to
honor?"
Hannah, thinking the king re-
ferred to himself, rejoiced and
suggested a public tribute. He
was crestfallen when the king or
dered the honor paid to Mordecal.
IN the meantime, Queen Esther
l. had dared the kings wrath
and arranged for him and Hannah
to attend feast she was prepar-
ing. and exacted from the king
the promise to grant her a wish.
During the feast she named her
wish, namely that her people be
spared from determination.
In anger, the king asked: who
is he that dares to presume in his
heart to do SOP"
Dramatically, Esther pointed to
Hannah. Just then a chamberlain
appeared and told the king the
gallows Hannah had ordered for
Mordecai was ready, and the king,
greatly angered, caused Haman to
be hanged, instead of Moredcai.
Unable to countermand the Or
der issued by Hannah, because it
was stamped with the kings sig
net ring, the king sent letters
warning all Jews in his provinces
to arm themselves against any
who might attempt to kill them
on the appointed day.
The day of calamity thereby
was changed into day of rejoic-
ing. From that day to this, the
anniversary of Purim has been
celebrate as a joyous occasion by
all Jews in remembrance of their
great deliVeranCe.
