and true little story:

lavishly distributed to other prisoners.
lie thought, therefore, that he would

So he wrote the following letter t
"Dear nod Please Bend me ten

Tho Hermans, seeing the Iptter ad
dressed to tho Almighty, thought It was
the same address as tho war Office In
London,
They sent It to the War Olllce and
tho branch to which It was sent sub
scribed among themselves nnd sent the
lonely soldier three pounds (115).
They- got an answer, again addressed
to tho Almighty, and again forwarded
by the nermann to tho War OtTlco In
London, In which the writer said:
"Dear Clod I know you wanted to
rend mo ten pounds, but If you. do send
It to me In the future don't send It
through tho War Office, bcCauae last

"Anglophobia," or Intense hatred of
tho Kngllsh race. Is a marked feature of
most flerman newspapers these days.
Deacons of hate flash through them all,
like fireworks, and such phrases as
"Faljc-hearted Albion." "nrltlsh Scum"
and "the vile Kngllsh," mingled with
other gems of persiflage, adorn the prin
cipal pages of the Kaiser's newspapers.
Tho Deutsche Kurler, a Ilerlln paper.
Is particularly bitter. In a recent copy
of It I rend the following:
"In tho heart of every Oerman man,

a" beacon of hate, the flames of which
must be so tremendous that they reach
Kngland In her vitals 1
"Wo hae again nnd again attempted

our hearts aflame, with a hatred so
Intense and concentrated that, like a

I. W.W. PLOTTED TO KILL
CATTLE, SAYS SUSPECT
Planned to Bum Grain, Houses and
Mills on Pacific Const, As
serts Prisoner
HAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12. Alleged
plots of tho Industrial Workers of the
World to poison cattle and bum grain
farmhouses and lumber mills along tho
Pacific coast have been bared in a con
fesslon by Fritz Hngerman, nUan.Charles
Alsenbach. who said he had participated
In some of the actions proposed, ac
cording to a statement by officials of
the Fire Prevention Bureau.
Hagerman was arrested at Susanvllla.
Cal. He confessed, the officials said,
that he had set flro last September to
a lumber mill In Lassen County nnd at
the time of his arrest was on his way
j, back to the plant, which he was contcra-
piuiuiK minimi; mt-"'.
Hagerman Bald, according to the Fire
Prevention Bureau officials, that It was
a common understanding tnat me al
leged plots to destroy cattle and build
ings were supported by German money,
'Hagerman, the officials asserted, pro
fessed svmoathy for the Germans. He
fc came to the United States from Ger
many In 1910. they said.
J ' It is understood that Hagerman will
y be turned over to the Federal authori
ty ues'
In London we must all state our exact
age on our sugar cards. And tho can
tankerous jieople who will not state their
ages will get no sugar I
Hence there are many lively and
heated complications.
No act of Parliament says that they
must state their ages. But no act of
Parliament glvo them sugar If they
won't ! Tho ages aro needed for the
system of checking.
This concealment nf ago Is nothing
but out-of-date snobbery. The person
of fifty who looks forty should boast
nhout It, not hide It, no matter to which
sex he or she belongs.
An amusing scene occurred tho other
day at a London railroad station A
British officer (of the famous Guards)
was wearing his long gray overcoat
which looks so much like the German
servlco coat. At the same time a large
number of German prisoners were ar
riving nt the station, sent from France.
A dear old 'lady had arrived also at
the station, hoping to see the German
prisoners. Tho moment sho saw the
Guards officer she rushed nt him, hit
him violently on the head with ljer um
brella and shouted" loudly, "Baby
Killer I"
Luckily tho British Guardsman had a
sense of the ridiculous and could take
a Joke, oven though a somewhat strained
ono. But 1 think ho will feel more dis
posed for the futuro to wear the khaki
garment known as a "British warm"
than the overcoat which has a German
aspect. , t
The plcturesqueness of the American
language "good United States, nrf sho
is spoke" is arousing Immense delight
and Interest in Londoners. Lndless ex
amples of "delightful and expressive
American slang" are quoted to mo Dy
Britishers who, fqr the first. time In their
lives, have met and talked with Amer
ican officers.
The other day, lor Instance, an avia
tor from the other side of the Atlantic,
now In England, flew his machine Into
a British aerodrome, and, marching Into
the commanding onicers nui, icmanceu
airily:
"Say! Are you the big noise In this
constituency? Guess you are. Well
A well-known Norwegian editor, Au
dun II. Telnaes, Is now paying a visit
to London. Ho has ery pleasant Im
pressions of the city nnd says:
"Apart from seeing soldiers every
where In Kngland, I find It difficult to
think there Is a great war on, I menn
there Is no aspect of suffering or misery.
The people you meet In the utrcets have
cheerful faces. Kvery one is smiling.
They look confident
"The Impression I have gained from
talking to people Is that you did not go
to war willingly jou did not want to
go to war, but felt you had no other
course but thnt. being at war, you are
going through with It until ou secure
a peace worth having,
"I read of tho food shortage In Kng
land, but do not seem to notice It. Apart
from the fact that my supply of sugar
Is limited, I can find nothing to com
plain about Moreover, I hae been
down to tho docks, and I do not think
there Is much danger yet awhile of
Kngland being starved by the U-boats.
"I think the English people should
eat more fish. In Norway we have four
or five meatless days already. We
nearly live on fish. Then why should
tho Kngllsh worry about food, when the
North Sea Is full of fish?
"As, yes but there arc no men, no
boats to collect those fish.
"There Is one thing I should like to
say about Norway. We have done
everything wo can, while remaining
neutral, to help the Allies, and wo have
suffered much. Our ships have been
sunk and our seamen drowned, The
U-boatR have not only sunk our ships,
but they havo fired on our men while
In boats or whilo In the water. It will
bo a very long time before the people
of Norway forget or forgive the Ger
mans for that."
SUGAR FOR PRESERVES
Housewives Informed There Will Be
Plenty for Summer Use
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. Ample sup
plies of sugar will bo available during
the coming summer", the food administra
tion announced last night, to meet tho
necessary requirements of food manu
facturers and for household nnd pre
serving purposes.
"All manufacturers of essential food
products," a food administration state
ment said, "are advised that they will
be able to obtain their full necessary
requirements. This applies particularly
to the packers of fruit, condensed milk
and such vegetables for the preserva
tion of which sugar may be .neoessary.
as well ns to the housewUes for usage
in preserving purposes. As tho car short
ago Is relieved, supplies of sugar will
be available for the necessary preserva
tion purposes. Shipments from Cuba are
steaUlly increasing."

A SURVEY OF THE SCHOOLS
ii iii
Philadelphia's Schools Defended by Teachers,
Principals and Educators--What Business
'and Professional Men Think The
Views of Parents
it,
THERE Is nothing wrong with the
schools. This la the general answer
of n very large majority of those best
In position to know from Intimate rela
tion with the schools, the teachers of
high nnd low classifications, to the critics
who say the schoot system Is awry, dis
jointed, minus propulshe power and
smooth-running mechanism, who charge
In short thnt the system Is "all wrong."
Thnt Is, there Is nothing much wrong.
This modification Is needful In view of
tho fact that nearly all teachers, prin
cipals nnd high school professors, who
contributed to this Investigation, were
enndid In n'dmlsslons that here nnd there
methods, operations nnd customs might
be changed and possibly bettered, but
were emphatic In the. statement that
their suggestions covered easily rectlfl-
ahle matters nnd that basically the
schools were adequately performing their
function and showing self-evident re
sults. Confirmation of the Justice of this
general defense entered by the teachers
was afforded from another source. It
was not deemed sufficient to mnke them
the Judges In a case In which their
endeavors and accomplishments were the
Issue,
BUSINESS MEN'S VIEWS
Business men, professional men nnd
college professors were asked for a
verdict on the products of tho imbue
schools nnd their personal experience
was preponderantly thnt the schooling
r rhllade iihla's boys and girls ner-
nged ery high. Here nnd there a busi
ness man was found who inveignen
against tho jioor spelling or dabstcrlng
nt figures of some onico boy, junior cierg
or other employo Just out of school, but
none could be found who would con
demn the schools unqualifiedly on this
account. As ono said, tho trouble prob
ably lay with the Indocile character of
the lads In question or their constitu
tional Inability to master a certain sub
ject, possibly with the negllgenco or In
dulgence of their parents, rather than
with tho teachers or the teaching. This
theory wis confirmed In two offices by
nn examination or recollection of the
records of half a dozen boys over a
series of years, In whleli trained capa
bility and excellent preparation, better
than expectation, were nsscts of most
of the boys concerned.
Parents who were consulted In general
expressed satisfaction with tho kind of
education their offuprlng were receiving,
thoua-h some felt that there were too
many books and too much home work,
and two were frankly of the view that
too much responsibility and participa
tion In their children's education was Im
posed on parents. A teacher to whom
this criticism was Imparted said crisply:
"After all, the parents nre responsible
In the very largest sense to God for their
children's wellbelng nnd salvation, part
of which Is their mental as well ns
physical, moral and sulrltual education :
we teachers are sesponslblo to the city
and the nation to turn out equipped, ills
clpllned, potentially worth-while citizens
primarily, even while we nccepl will
ingly our share In the moral develop
ment. Parents must co-operato with the
schools, and the only way they can Is to
seo that children study lessons. If this
Is a large responsibility It Is nevertheless
theirs: If It takes a long lime or proves
Irksome, they have hot their children
under proper control."
DANGERS OF RECONSTRUCTION
As to lessening thq number of books
or reducing the home study require
ments, a principal pointed out that this
would mean a reconstruction of a sys
tem th'at has been bullded slowly through
years of test, experiment, failure, com
parison nnd elimination Into a mechan
ism ndnpted to the demands of modern
life, The American school system has
been nn evolution ; a retrogressive recon
struction flying In the faco of results
found not only In Philadelphia, but to
greater degree elsewhere and nttalned
nfter trial and difficulty would mean
dexolutlon. Simplification of subjects
would be fatal In this specialized era.
Less homo study would make Inevitable
longer school hours In a stretch, moro
expenditure In a largely Increased bud
get for teachers' salaries, and the loss
of opportunity for recreation nnd leisure
between the closo of school nnd the hour
for home study under the evening lamp,
a brnln-rest period Imperatively de
manded for the health of tho growing
child body and mind, according to
physiologists and psychologists.
Proceeding along another angle of
approach, and one of vital Importance
ns divulging tho effective gradation of
the schools, questioning brought out a
very general belief from teachers In
upper grndes and higher schools thnt
the children handed on to them were
acceptably qualified to pursue advanced
studies to which they were promoted.
This1 attitude was widespread enough
to be formulated Into a principle, namely.
the ordering of grndes and preparing
of pupils In them Is promptly correclated
and progressive and with an efficiency
and sufficiency' In results equal to nil
leajonamo expectations. This nrincm e
naturally, canno: be taken as absolute.
Dirins to the nature of the material,
childhood of varying temperament nnd
environment and the fluctuations In the
agencies that shape the material: that
is, the varying spirit, capacity and en
thusiasm of the teachers.
In thft Sectional hlo-h nrhnMa tfie
I '
opinion was advanced that the pupils
were fairly equipped to cope with ad
vanced work and at least had the pre
liminary training to handle It efficiently
after a few months of the more Inten
sive methods of tho higher Institutions.
In the period from five to fifteen years
ngo, an' eminent educator felt, boys sent
to him averaged higher In mental dis
cipline and knowledge, and lie ascribed
this to two causes, one a controverted
fault of methodology, tho comparatively
recently Inaugurated "promotion by sub-
Jects," that Is, exempt from examina
tion i the other a cause exterior to the
schools themselves, namely, the exten
sion ot the high school system, which
makes a much larger and more miscel
laneous high school population.
EXEMPTION VS. KXAM.
"Promotion without some sort of ex
amination," confirmed a sectional high
school professor, "Is an evil, the effects
of which were Imperceptible at first, but
which have been cumulative and are
now beginning to be noticeable. It Is
only a minor menace now, and no great
or lrretr!cabla haarm has been done
to tho morale of tho schools, which, I
think, are excellent In drill nnd teach
ing, but it should be eliminated before
real damage Is ddne. Pupils can camou
flage Ignoranoo to the point ot exemp
tion, but If they had to take exams, their
smattering would not get them by, Ex
aminations, considerately and fairly con
ducted, keep pupils 'on their toes.'
Combined with exemptions. Judiciously
allowed, an Idenl could be reached that
would not bo hard on the nenous child
nnd would ultimately eliminate tho
'slacker.'"
Great praise was accorded matricu
lates from the Philadelphia public
schools by several University of Penn
sylvania professors, for whoso special
ties the boys and girls were said to
be better prepared than the majority
of their classmates, and tho record lists
of honors and prizes won by graduates
of the public schools here were adduced
ns confirming evidence.
