WANT U. P. TRUSTEES
TO SILENCE WfTMER
Education Board Members
Answer Psychologist's Chal
lenge to Debate
Members of the Board of Education
answer Prof. Mghtner Wltmer's criticism
of the board and challenge to debate by
an appeal to the board of trustees of
the University of Pennsylvania to "keep
Doctor Wttmer silent."
Thomas Shallcross, member of the
Board of Education, to whom Doctor
Wltmer Issued a challenge to debate on
the defects the University psychologist
sees In the city's educational system, has
announced that the University trustees
will have the matter officially brought
. before them.
one unuersity trustco said he en
tirely disapproved of tho attack on
the board," said Mr. Shallcross. "Doc
tor Wltmer must bo a Socialist. lie
talks llko one."
He objected to the "open-letter'
method of criticizing the Board of edu
cation which Doctor Wltmer used, de
clined to meet lilm In debate and called
on hiin to 'mind hie own business."
Simon Gratz, who has had fifty years'
sVrvice on the education board, has
also declined to meet Doctor Wltmer In
debate, and David- II. Lane called Pro
fessor Wltmer's criticisms "merely milt
terings of tho times."
Thomas S. Boyle, another board mem
ber, said he might debate with Doctor
Wltmer on building ortflnanclal matters,
but "I don't know anything about edu
cational matters," ho said.
In answer to Mr. Shallcross's threat
to bring the pressure of the University
Irustees on him, Doctor Wltmer Issued
the following statement:
"I did not send Mr. Shallcross a let
ter and I do not propose to send him
one. He knows that an open letter Is
tho recognized method of asking a ques
tion publicly, and he is only dodging an
answer. ,
"Mr. Shallcross publicly called me a
'liar,' and I ask him publicly, 'Is he man
enough to join mo In debate where ho
will have a chance to prove his point
and I to answer him?'
"Mr. Gratz publicly accused me of
Bolshevism. I ask him If he Is man
enough to meet mo In public debate on
this Issue. I ask the Board of Educa
tion, Individually and collectively, will
they choose three representatives to
meet in public debate three critics of
competency and of the efficiency of
the public schools under their adminis
tration." SON DEFENDS FETTEROLF
"Not That Kind of Man," His
Reply to Alienation Charge
A statement defending his father, Hor
ace G. Fetterolf, a wealthy Germantown
rug manufacturer, who has been sued
for $150,090 for alleged alienation of af
fections, has been made by M. II. Fet
terolf. "I have only this to say about the
matter," he said, "I have known Mr.
Fetterolf longer and more Intimately
than any man living, and I think there
Is something very strange about these
charges. I do not believe them. My
father Is not the typo of man to do the
things charged against him."
His fathar'ls named defendant In a
suit filed by Lawrence M. O'Loane. a
JBoston salesman, who charges the
manufacturer, who lives at Wyncoto,
caused the plaintiff to lose the affec
tion and companionship of his wife and
nine-year-old son. ,
In his affidavit, O'Loane states that
the manufacturer Induced his wife and
child to leave his home at Boston.
They moved to a New York apartment
at first. It Is said, and then moved to
Philadelphia, where they maintained a
home near that of '.Fetterolf. Mr. Fet
terolf la married.

gave communion to the women this

The "true democracy" 'that existed
among tho American troops at the front

pend solely on their grit and faith."

about by the war. v

service will be donated to the women
missionaries at home and abroad.

Scotch proficiency in home- g
spun woolens is internation- g
ally respected. In Scotchspun i
we have transplanted the
Scotch mood and method into M
the field of cravatings. The S
shades and tones are remin- B
iscent of Scotland, and are pos- 9
sible only by the weaving pro- il
cess employed. m
Many of the silks are of g
Scotch origin others have H
been duplicated in America by jj
weavers who have migrated S
from Scotland. jj
The 1919 patterns and de- B
signs are exclusively sold by g
us in this city. gj
