MILWAUKEE GIVES
SPECIAL TUTELAGE
Personal Attention Available
Free to Handicapped
Children.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 2s.-
Carrying out byword of "a place
in school for every child" the Mil
Waukee district school system is con-
Quoting a continual survey and
advisory department to afford men
tally and physically defective stu
dents the advantages of special
classes in which some $500 pupils
now are enrolled.
The special classes, which are con-
Quoted without cost to parents or
guardians, made their first appear
ance here about 1910. Now they
are under the direction of Miss Car
rie B. Levy, who has been affiliated
with this form Of education since the
system was given a broad scope in
1915.
Teachers in Milwaukee's public
school system constantly are survey
ing their classes for pupils afflicted
with poor vision or hearing, retarded
mentally or physically from under
nourishment or underweight, nervous
ness or the like, or those who show
some peculiar aptitude for some
form of learning and contrasting
lack of ability to learn other forms.
Adjust Deficiencies.
"Often we find students who can
do third grade arithmetic problems
with ease, yet stumble over first grade
reading exercises" Miss Levy said.
1T is the object of our classes to
adjust them to the particular studies
they need"
Outstanding in the special class
system is the schooling afforded
crippled children. Through the use
Of visiting teachers, classes for the
eight grades and four years of high
school are being conducted for So
pupils in hospitals and II in their
homes.
The teachers make regular calls, CIV
ing almost personal tutor service,
and give the same tests as those used
in the school. When the pupil COM
pletes the course, he Is given the same
diploma he would receive had he at
tended regular school classes. Grip
pied students able to attend schools
are transported to and from their
homes in buses.
Open-air classes are used in teach
ing children found to be delicate in
health. There are rest periods
throughout the day, and three special
lists give health examinations. Win
dows are wide open throughout the
year, the temperature is kept at an
even level, and in cold weather the
children study while clad in long
macknaws, heavy caps and boots.
Great success is being noted every
day In the fresh-air branch" Miss
Levy said. Eighty per cent Of the
pupils are brought back to normal
health each year." The enrolment
Of fresh-air classes is about $50 an
nually.

Christmas Orders as Play
things Go Modern.

NEW YORK, April 2S CP.-Santa
Claus, little boys and girls, has
brought all his Christmas toys to New
York.
He wears no red suit and he has
shaved. He stands around with his
hands in his pockets, smoking a big
cigar. He talks to elves running
around buying toys and calls them
The Trade" They call him Mr.
Manufacturer"
A sign over the door says, "The
American Toy Fair, the largest show
ing of toys in the world" Mr.. Manu-
facturer and The Trade are the only
ones at the toy fair. Little boys
and girls will have their chance to
see the toys about six weeks before
Christmas, when Mr.. Manufacturer
puts on his whiskers and red suit to
become Santa Claus again.
For Mamma and Papa, Too.
More toys are being shown for
mamma and papa this year, but most
OF them are adaptations of such
childish playthings as marbles, hoops
and games.
A metal weaving loom, too compli-
Gated to be called a plaything. has
been built both for parents and chill
dren. 1t is constructed in miniature
by a company which makes indus
trial looms, and on 1t can be made
almost any design made by regula-
ton machines.
Although there are more than 1.5OO
new games" Mr. Manufacturer saws
there are few games entirely new in
principle, most of the games being
reUvals Of old standbys.
One new game-"brand new" saws

decoys. So far only one person claims
to know the rules, and she was some
place else the day Of the demonstra-
ton, but the rules will be worked out
before Christmas, Santa Claus prom

Greenwich Village, a place where
artists and writers frequently go to
bed without their dinner, but not be-
cause they have been bad. Those who
know the game have been teaching
others, so that they all may stage a
tournament and get their pictures in
the newspapers.
A clever idea, and quite simple, are
flexible blocks that fold around into

dren," says Santa Claus. Also for
children are the "makings" for card
board boats. Cut out the cardboard,
build the boat. cover it with water
proof preparation, and Sail ho!"
Santa Claus also has brought out
bicycles with two speeds and sleds
with three runners. The bicycle has
a gear shift arrangement like dads
automobile, and the third runner Of
the sled between the two longer run
ners Is for steering.

NEW YORK, April 28-Students,
cross section Of New Workers attend
ing the unique industrial art show
here in the Museum Of Modern Art.
Also listed was Socialist agitator-
! one," but from top to bottom of the
list the general public didn't agree
entirely with decisions Of thIae promi-
nent judges who made their selections
Of the most beautiful objects before
the show formally opened.
Subjects in the show were not nec-
essarily art or museum pieces, but
they certainly were modern. Included
were kitchen ranges, bits Of glass,
springs, dental drills-everything hold
ing an inherent beauty and used n
industry.
1000 Students Register.
There were nearly 1900 students
registered, more than $50 housewives
and nearly 800 artists. Nearly al
many engineers attended as writer's,
and there was one each in the classi-
fications of astronomer, geographer.
anthropologist, inventor and botanist.
There were 81 actors and actresses
and two professional models, but there
also were in attendance plumbers,
10 electricians, trade union organ

Business Representation.
Those in the business world, such
as clerks, salesmen, bookkeepers, ana
the like, we're high in the numerical
list. Under the medical hearing there
were 18 physicians, IL dentists, 4
psychologists and small groups OF
others.
From this cross-sectlon votes were
taken on favorite exhibits. They
didn't like the section Of coil spring
given first place by the three judges.
Instead, the public named a triple
mirror used in signal lights as the
most beautiful object. Women out
voted men to / on this selection.
Propellers received second and
third place IN the mass voting and
a propeller put in second place by
judges was shifted to eighth by ths
visitors A streamline kitchen sink
was seventh, with women voting
two to one man.

NEW YORK, April 28.-"That con-
siderable reVamping of the machinery
OF representative government will
come quickly is greatly to be desired" +"
declared Lindsay Rogers.
DR.. Rogers is professor of public law
at Columbia University, and formerly
deputy administrator of the N. r.
A. in charge of several codes, includ-
ing newspaper and graphic arts. In
November, 1888, he became chairman
OF the Board of Labor Review of

power to certain autonomous groups
or quasi-public corporations" DR..
Rogers continues in his book, "Crisis
Government" published today. so
that they may make decisions within
the limit of authority given them.
Should Fix Limits.
"But the government would deter
mine these limits and remain the final
arbiter. When the government di-
rects in detail, mistakes are paid for
by the whole community. Individual
capitalists can plan and their mis-
takes to some extent cancel each
other. If the planning is by great
groups, there will be a considerable
measure of cancellation.
ANY one who has seen govern
ment and industry at close range
should be convinced that attempts by
the former to administer the latter
would in the United States be ac-
companied by waste and suffering far
greater than the waste and suffering
of a rugged individualism which Is
neither rugged nor individualistic.
Quotes Definition.
""The purpose of Fascism,' in Mr..
Strachey's definition, is to defend by
violence the private ownership of the
means of production, even though
our modern civilization has become
incompatible with a social system
based upon private ownership
"But compatibility can be secured
by gradually increasing government
control and by the substitution in
special cases of public ownership for
private ownership with it is to be
hoped, experiments in administrative
devices which will avoid the necessity
of administration by bureaucratic de-
partments.
Thus 1t may be possible to escape

bS ILc ASSOCldlcu HIcoS.
CARTHAGE, N. C., April 26-Park-
wood today lies desolate, as If sud-
den plague had wiped away its people.
The Grand Hotel register is dusty
on the desk; letters remain in cob
webbed mail boxes; machinery rusts
under rotting mill roofs-in the vii
lage that was deserted 40 years age
for reasons no one seems to know.
In a large granite basin-from
which once famous millstones were
quarried-sun perch haunt themselves
in transparent waters; piles Of lumber
are rotting end on end; homes and
stores remain virtually untouched ex-
cept by wind and rain which have
stolen away the habitable quaintness
OF the abandoned village.
Near Main Highway.
Few persons know of the existence
Of the village, although 1t is only a
mile off the main highway, and S
miles from here.
Once Parkwood existed principally
for the manufacture of millstones.
Faded broadsides found in a trunk in
the hotel attic describe them as
Moore County grit grindstones, q
blue-colored cement stone, filled with
white flint, which when dressed has a
much sharper and better cutting edge
than any other stone yet found"
The hotel registers last entry re-
cords the name of Moses Faber of Bal
timore, who stopped with his horse
and driver on April 2, 1891, at cost
of rs cents.
Post Office Undisturbed.
Underbrush and trees have grown
up among houses, streets and mills.
Even the old post Office with its rec
ord of registered mail and letters in
pigeon holes remain virtually undis-
turbed.
Only the walls Of the three story
corn meal mill. are left-the stairs,
mills and roof rest in blue stream
which once turned stones that made
meal for the towns inhabitants.
Nearby are the planes, the saws, the
lathes of q huge sawmill-rotting. A
high steel cable hangs lonely across
jutting pine trees toward the quarry
from which once came the Moore
County grit millstones. A rusty steam
engine and 200-foot smokestacks stand
like forgotten sentinels.
That is Parkwood, the deserted vii
lage. No one here processes to know
the reason for the sudden apparent
exodus of the villagers. The evidence
is that they left en- masse, permitting
most Of their fixed, worldly goods to
remain.
And there the crumbling houses and
machinery probably will stay-occu-
pied now only by snakes and rabbits
and owls and birds and bats.

EDUCATION VITAL,
DICKINSON ASSERTS
Tells Teachers They Must In
struct Children in Habits
of Thought.

In this modern and fast moving
world education has ceased to be
luxury and has become a necessity,
John Dickinson. Assistant Secretary
of Commerce. told the Department of
Elementary School Principals of the
National Education Association at the
Shoreham Hotel last night.
Dickinson likened the work of ele-
mentary teachers to the placing of a.
foundation and stressed the necessity
of teaching younger pupils habits of
thought and expression.
"As teachers of the Nation" he said,
"the Nation looks to you to train
population which shall be sufficiently
educated not to add to the Snarls and
tangles of life by their inability to
take advantage of our new technology,
and which shall also be sufficiently
wise and far-Sighted and self
restrained to choose and follow wise
and far-sighted leadership.
Assistant Secretary Dickinson will
deliver another address to the Depart
ment of Classroom Teachers at the
Mayf1ower tomorrow night when he
will discuss Commerce and Educa-
ton
