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. Ho left that
magazine to become editor of tho Illus-
t-..,...! Am..!rtnn ii HNnrt-livOU TH1D11-
cation. Later ho was literary editor of
tho New York Herald. Wbllo he was
carrying on that ork Mr. Walsh also
worked on bis books, being noted for
his prodigious volume of production and
wouoeriui memory.
Mr. Walsh was an interpreter of
literature. 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,". "Paradoxes of a l'bllistin,"
"Pen Pictures of Harlier Victorian
Authors," "Tho Story of Santa Claus,"
"Abraham Lincoln nnd tho London
Punch," "Dictionary of Quotations.",
Mr. Walsh was born in Paris in
February, 1831, the son of Itobert
Walsh, who was afterward United
States consul at Naples, Italy.

TEACHERS QUESTION
SCHOOL B0ARD'.S PLAN
Ask Why New Department Is
Being Created When Request
for Assistant Was Refused
Tcnchcrs of tho hpeclal class section
of the Philadelphia Teachers' Assocla-i
tion are asking the Board of Education
why a director's position nnd a new de
partment of special education are be
ing created at this time at nn expendi
ture of $G000 when tho board recently
refused to grant Dr. Oliver Cornmnn's
request for an assistant. 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."

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOL
HEADS IN STUDENT DISPUTE
Both Claim Scholars Make Best Records in College Harvard
Investigators Declare Private Boys Show Best Entrance
Exams, hut Public Graduates Make Better Records
"Public school students attain n
higher avcrago of scholarship at college
than private school boys," says Pro
fessor II. 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. "Public high schools do not
make a distinct effort for tho admission

cliools do. 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.
'the Jlev. Churles I,. Steel, rector of
Calvary Chuich, Forty-first dud Broun
streets, is of the opinion (hat the
desecrator had :i supposed grievance
ugainst high church litual.
"I am going to keep a close watch,"
he said today, "and take no chances."
The fanatic visited the Church of the
Annunciation, Twelfth and Diamond
streets, Satuidii, but no damage was
done. On the follow lug day a man
entered St. Clement's Chuich. Twen
tieth and Cherry streets, and attempted
vandalism.

without n license. Goodman was ar

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. Our activities are only limited
by our means. Will you help?
