these courses by encouraging
pupils TO undertake specific du-
ues In the home.
1--WE have a still more i'm
portant purpose In mind. We
wish to have the pupils rec
ognize that they are members
of a family, and the fact that
they attend school deos not re-
lease them from undertaking
some of the home duties. The
home is the true center of our
present civilization and the pu-
pill cannot learn TOO soon his
proper relation and RESPONSE
biliry TO this institution. The
school has, in the opinion of
some, encroached on the home;
we believe that it can now
serve a useful purpose by i'm
pressing on the pupils the dig
nifty, importance and true worth
of all the duties incidental to
family life. This plan now form :
ulated is aimed to interest the
pupils in the work of the home. :"
Pirtsburgh--A street car was
derailed, the line tied up and a
score of West Pittsburghers
we're badly mussed up late at
night when a wee bit of a
mouse made its appearance in a
car carrying theater goers back
to their homes.
When the mouse meandered
out on the floor of the car the
women made wild leaps and
gyrations In their efforts to get
out of the front end of the car.
They knocked the motorman
down, and the car, running at
high rate of speed, ran into a
switch and went over into the
mud. The line was blocked for
an hour.
St. Petersburg--The mostcG
loSsal murder trial in the an
nails of history will begin at
Archangel next month when
woman "philanthropist," Nine
Kusnezowa, will be placed in
the dock charged with murder
ing l,0l2 children by poison.
The orgress--as such she is
termed here--kept baby farm
outside the town, where illegiti-
mate children we're adopted for
SIS and upward. Special prices
we're made for aristocratic mo-
theirs.
The fact that ever since the
place was opened five years
ago the death rate among the
infants has been tragically high
1920 died in the year 1907
did not attract attention, as
child mortality in this icy nor
thern region is normally high.
Eventually, however, the police
began to make inquiries. After
examining number of bodies
in the cemetery adjoining the
home they arrested the woman.
A remarkable feature of this
whole sale massacre of in
'nocents Is that proper death
certificates were given In each
instance. Several of the chill
dren of course, had died of ma
tural causes but the vast major
ity were found to have been
poisoned. AT one period there
were 450 children In the home.
Search is being made for the
doctor while several of Nine.
Kusnezowa's staff are under
suspicion. The trial, In which
the greatest interest is being
taken, is expected to last sew
eral months, as each case will
be taken more or less separ-
ately, and the evidence of over
800 mothers will be heard.
