Reading Figure in American Literary World for Many Yoar3 INVALID FOR LONG TIME William Shepherd Walsh, for forty years a literary figure in this city aud New York, died yesterday afternoon at tho home of his sister, Miss Kathcrlne Walsh, 230 South Thirty-eighth street. Mr. Walsh, who for Several years had been an Invalid, was sixty-five years old. Prominent In letters until ill health forced him to ccaso hli labors, hH lit erary career included the editorship of LIpplncott's Magazine for fifteen years previous to -8S0, durlug which time that periodical held a runking place In American literature. Ho was also .the nuthor of many books, all of recognized literary merit. Among his associates, who included the best-known literary men and .artists of this country, Mr. Walsh had many nlnoo ffinnila whn loved hlsTather UU- usual characteristics. Mr. Walsh vas .. tn Tfrnipsi. He was reinnrls nbly independent. At tho same time ho was a delightful aud always intercstin; comnanion. Mr. Walsh first became noted as editor of Lirmlncott'w.

In his ''Handy Book of Literary Curiosities." which is one of tho standard works in libraries, an idea is gained of tho breadth of his culture. "'The object of this handy book is to rntcrtain," ire wrote. "It is obvious that in so largo a field as Is afforded by tho curiosities of literature tho em barrassment has been mainly that ol riches. No single volume uor n dozen volumes of this size could exhaust the material. Nevertheless, it tho compiler has been even approximately successful, it his gleanings from tho rich harvest field have been fairly judicious, a gain In interest and even in vuluo has been achieved by consulting tho limitations (if fiT10.CC The book itself is an alphabetical com pilation of tqpics with the best litera ture as tho basis of information. Mr. Walsh possessed an interesting lively stjle with constant touches of the human element. . . . Tho list of Mr. Walsh's works in cludes : "Authors and Authorship," pub lished in two volumes; "Curiosities of Popular Customs," "A Handy Book of Curious Information, "A Handy Book of Literary Curiosities, " "Heroes and Heroines of Fiction," two volumes: "Joshua B. Lippincott, A Memorial Sketch,".

Doctor Corn- man is associate superintendent in charge of special classes for cripples and delinquents. In 11 letter to the board Miss Jane Wcltc, chairman, nnd members of the special class section refer to the rumor that Miss Margaret T. Mnguiro was scheduled to become director of this proposed new department. "AH of this matter is foolish," wild Superintendent of Schools Garbcr. "The department itself has not been created. It will come beforo the board today. Ilut even if it is created toduv. a di rector will not bo chosen till next mouth." Doctor Garber nnd members of the board refused to mention the name of any possible appointee for director of special classes. "Wo hope," the letter from Miss Wei to reads, "you will seriously con sider the qualities requisite for a spe cial class director beforo making the appointment. For the sake of the spe cial and delinquent children of our city f wlio need the teachers now iu charge of their classes, 'no trust jou will elect a director who is it recognized .authority, one specially trained in psy chology nnd one who can compete with tho best cducatornxalong this line. We hope for one who will be able to es tablish the same feeling of confidence and loyalty that has existed in this de partment under tho able supervision of Doctor Cornman."

W. Holmes, of Harvard, but heads of prlvnto schools in Philadelphia do not think so. Professor Holmes nnd (wo other members of the Harvard division of education, recently mado statistical study of -1000 freshmen who entered Harvard nnd showed that a larger per centage of students trained in tho pub-' lie schools did better grade work throughout, their courso than did students who prepared for Harvard ut privutc schools. On the other hnnd, private school students show a better entrance ex amination Tecord. Tho private schools wcro 10 per cent more successful in getting their students into college. "It's dungcious to draw conclusions." snld the Itev. Philip J. Stciumetz, head of Episcopal Academy. "But somehow or other testimony 1 have heard would Becm to point the other way from Pro fessor Holmes' findings. Hoys come to mo and say they want to study with us because their friends who had gono to public schools were often unable to keep up iu their college stnudiug. Number Supports Contention "One of the bicccst Indications that tho private schools arc doing their part, w the bnld fact tlmt there arc plenty of private schools existing. And jou know that the private schools can exist only so long 11s they are iible to produce tesults that will bring in other students nnd more money to keep tho schools go ing. But the public schools, you know, go on forever, like tuc brook. Itis a fair presumption to snv that private schools are keeping their average up." If you simply want jour boy to get Into collcce." said V. V. Gordou. a member of the. committee which imes tigntcd the comparative scholarship of the Harvard freshmen," the private school offers you au entrance record of 8S per cent success against 715 per tent for the public school. "But tho mcio fact of high percent age of successful candidates in entrance examinations is not in itself a safe cri terion of the thoroughness of the train ing for a college education. To be sure, (he private school offers advantages of training m Health, manners and le Hglon which nre of too great value to bj overlooked; but, given a boy of fair intelligence trained with his fellows in a democratic public school, jou need have 110 fear that ho will suffer in his col lege record cither in scholarship de portment, in eompoiison with his move fortunate qlassmatcs who nre carefully tutored at a private school." Conclusion Unfair, Sajs Osborne "I think that the conclusion is unfair to tho private schools," said Samuel Osborne, head of Germantown Academy. "The private schools have small classes with plenty of opportunity for Individ-' uul training. And the private schools have a peculiar task. "The private school's task is to get all their boys ready for college; the Eublic school is represented at college y only the very best of its students. Only tho choice public school pupils go to college, but all the private school students go to college, the choice and the, so to speak, unchoice. We must make ready for college boys who, left alono in public schools, would never put their foot on a college campus." "Mr. Osborne hit the matter on tho head," said Charles C. Ilcyl, president of the West Philadelphia High School for Boys.

The private schools en deavor to make It possible for all of their pupils to pass college entrance rc quircmJuts; the public high school au thorities, however, realize that only a small per cent of their graduates ever reach college, nnd consequently concen trate their effort iu tho training of qual ities rather than in the training of mathematics or Latiu or any other par ticular course. "I havu always believed in ncccnlu- 'nting this necessity for qualities, for persistence, application, attention, ini tiative, dependability, rather than for pioticiency iu any especial subject." Andrew J. Morrison, head of the Northeast High School, believes that there is a certain quality In public schools (hat is lacking Iu private schools. "A kind of democracy." h called it, "which puts a boy on his own' mettle and gives nun tho Kind of train ing that makes him work more earnestly and more siuccrely, even though bis work is not continually dliccted" by some older person." VANDAL VISITING CHURCHES Episcopal Clergy Guarding Edifices Against Work of Fanatic Precautions arc being taken at Epis copal churches hen- against possible damago by a fanatic win, has already attempted destruction in two edifices.

We are looking for A JOHN RUSKIN or A LORD PEMBROKE in Philadelphia Not that WE need them, but that Philadelphia does. When Octavhi Hill began her noble -work of rehous ing and re-animating the poor of London, John liuskin was her first ally Avith a liberal investment in houses for her to improve and manage. Later Lord Pembroke placed a generous amount in her hands for similar in vestment, and so the work grew, enlisting co-operation from the highest to the humblest. Many of London's sore spots back streets, alleys and courts that had been reeking with filth, disease and worse were made healthfully habitable, the tenants were lifted up to a higher physical, moral and intellectual condition, London itself was re lieved from sources of degradation that radiated into its higher life and ALL WAS DONE AT A PROFIT. For 23 years we have been emulating in Philadelphia Octavia Hill's example by the buying of buildings in neglected and degraded neighborhoods and lemaking them (and tho neigh borhood itself) into healthful, moral places for self-respecting small-wage earners to live in. We also undertake tho remaking and management of like properties for others. Our stockholders, except for a brief war period, have been regularly paid a dividend of 4.
