through famous thoroughfares, visits to
the stock exchange, the United States

remarks as "Hello. Prince!" and

Cross beat the red flag," said J. X.
Berkey, of Pittsburgh, (it the civic con
ference of the Pennsylvania Educational
Congress today; "set the mblcm of
America before the badge of any group ;
place the union of America above the
unions of labor or of capital ; these arc
the only means to bring back the con
fidence nnd trust of our foreign popula
tion." This is tho program to organize n
twelve-year citizenship course enabling
children to understand and to appre
ciate American forms of government,
and to counteract radical theories; such
courses will be offered in all Pennsyl
vania schools, as a result of decisions
reached at the conference.
Leadership in industry und in com
munity life will also be furthered, ac
cording to plans drnwn up by the con
ference following addresses by Miss Jes
sie C. Evans, of the William Pcnn
High School, Philadelphia ; Edward 13.
Adams, school superintendent of Rad
nor township, and J. M. Gambrill, of
Columbia University.
"Problems of Democracy" in Schools
Introduction of a new course of study
to be entitled "problems of a democ
racy" will be the climax of the twelve-
year program and will provide oppor- j
lunity for every high school child to j
undci stand the real importance of
events like the steel strike und tlie coal ,
strike. Explanation of such lubor dis-,
putes will be given from n purely Amer- ,
ican standpoint, according to Miss
Evans, who suggested its introduction.
Industrial civics studies to make clear
to all students the importance of the
activities of his own city, state and na

Little Bed Sclioulhouse Obsolete
Firrewcll to time-honored high school
courses; school instruction in the fac
tory, tlie office, the public library and
the swimming pool will take the place
of work inside the walls of the famous
little red schoolhousc, if suggestions
made by tho congress are adopted.
Men like Dr. Emery II. Johnson,
University of Pennsylvania ; E. E.
MeXary, United States shipping board,
and Atreus Wanner, of York, all agree
that tho mission of the school is now
in active business. Or ns Dr. Daniel
Knowlton, Newark High School, says:
"The school must fit its boys to take
their places in the world, no matter
when or where the child may grad
uate." But while the men who plead for in
dustrial and commercial education are
talking there is a group of men headed
by Dr. Thomus 13. Finegnn, state su
perintendent of schools, who are actively
pressing for the wider use of the school
plant by men und women of the neigh
borhoods as social 'centers in the ufter
noons and evenings. These men nre
arguing that use of schools as com
munity centers would be an untold
blessing to thousands of men and women
who are without a meeting place.
