TO DENOUNCE SCHOOL
SYSTEM HERE, PLAN OF
PROPOSED GATHERING
Call Issued by Germnntown
Patrons in Protest Against
Removal of Principal
Sowden From Fitler
NEW CODE ADVOCATED
Steps to hold n mnss-mectlng In tho
Metropolitan Opcrn House were tnken to
day by citizens of Ocrmnntown to pro
test against tho Hoard of Kducntlon In Its
general management of the school sys
tem here. Tho transfer of William II.
Sowden, prlnelpnl of tho Fitler Public
School, ngatnst tho wishes of Clermnntown
patrons brought matters to a climax.
Hundreds of letters were sent out to
civic, fraternal, business and Industrial
associations ln all parts of tho city cnll
Ing attention to the necessity of nmcndlng
tho school code. These communications
wcro signed by Samuel J. Houston, chair
man of tho committee nppolntcd by tho
parents who protest against Mr. Sowden's
removal.
NHW CODR PtiANNHD.
Th? chief purpose of the proposed
meeting Is to discuss the ndvlsnblllty of
taking steps to amend tho school code.
If the Hoard of Kducntlon were mado
an clcctlvo Instead nf nn appointive body,
It Is contended that tho people would
have a moro equal chance.
In discussing thn matter, Mr. Houston
said the Uonrd of Education seemed to bo
nblo to do Just as It pleased. "Tho
people havo no say whatever and can't
even cro.n the first lino of trenches," ho
said. "I know of no other place which
has a Hoard of Kducntlon selected ln such
a manner.
"The proposed meeting Is not aimed at
nny Individual. Tho caso of Principal
Sowden Just brought matters to a climax.
There nro other Instances In which the
Hoard of Kducatlon showed poor Judg
ment. Theso cases worn never brought to
light becauso the pcoplo had no support
back of them and no organized move
ment." Many organizations throughout tho city,
It Is said, hnvo expressed a willingness to
participate In such a meeting and It Is
proposed to select representatives at tho
meeting for each organization which
takes pait In the movement. These
reptrscntntlves will form n general com
mittee nnd map nut definite lines to
hi Ing about tho proposed lcgl.-datlon.
It Is tho hopo of thoso planning tho
mass-meeting to hold It within the next
throi" weeks.

service was attended by 3000 men and
Women.
"It's guld," said he. "to see that Dnrby'B

"I weigh ITS pounds, nnd It's nil muscle,"
Mr. Nicholson continued, shaking his pul
pit. "It's a good pulpit. Thnt Is, Its In
tentions nrc nil right, but It wasn't built
by nny one who knows inc. that's evident.
Why, mon alive. I'd topple the thing over

Hoglster of Wills Shoehan has been In
formed that Mrs. McCallum executed two

In opposition to tiio will executed hi

Instead of being on a train this morn

Htough Is here. Furthermore, ho Is to
Btny for another week of saloon nssault
activities. Kverylhlng was decided In
keeping with tho original plan until lato
yesterday afternoon, Then It was found
thnt nil appeals for n liberal free-will
orfcrlng to the evangelist for what ho had
dono for tho town had produced but $2200.
I.nst night the "closing" service produced
$100 additional. Ktlll the shoro pastors
were not satisfied with what they re
garded as n sorry showing, since Hnztcton
gave Htough $7000. They pressed Htough
to stay for another seven da.s and glvo

The Appeal to
Women!
FINE, dainty apparel appeals to all
types of femininity. But, alas! not
every woman has the wherewithal to
purchase it. The "better-than-average"
buyers, whose incomes encompass life's
little luxuries, look upon the Public
Ledger as an index to the sources of
supply.
Most Philadelphia merchants know
that the Ledger covers the city's strong
est buying power ; that it has an appeal to
women to the type of women who pur
chase dainty better-than-ayerage apparel;
and that in many instances the Ledger is
the only Philadelphia newspaper such
women read.
The gown illustrated on the left is
reproduced from the advertisement of a
local Ledger advertiser.
