Watson, a member of the committee having the matter In charge. Mr. Watson, who Is secretary of the Public Education and Child Labor Asso elation of Penpsylvanin, explained todny that a school survey is not an nttempt to unearth n Vcandnl. Instead, he said, it is an examination Into the system to find out what Is good, so it may bo encouraged, nnd find what is inefficient, so it may be discontinued. "About 1B0 cities of this country have already had these school surveys," said Mr. Watson. "It Is just as if a large industrial concern's managers had said, 'We will get the best efficiency engineers we enn find nnd have them go over our plant thoroughly, exnmlno our buildings, our machinery nnd our methods. The plant needs overhauling, wc must do a larger business and we have not the capacity necessary.' "In Philadelphia the Boprd of Edu cation renllzes ocutelv that it must do a bigger business with the funtls at hand. That is the whole situation. Hence this survey. "One of the best things alout n school survey is that it shows tho splendid things we have that no one knows nbout or appreciates. It also finds out what is needed, so the Board of Education may have something definite nnd authorltntlve to present, so when it goes to the people for a large appropriation the people will know what the money is for. "Not only will the entire system be charted out. but thero will be a printed renort. showine the survey results, and making conntructivp recommendations ior luture guidance oi me uouru. A stuuy win oe mauc oi every hciiu.ii building in the city, and through this tne actual neetls can Dc pointed out in each locality. A general plan for ex pansion will also be pointed out. "Recommendations are liable to be made for various reorganizations, from the Board of Education down. Tho work of the survey will last anywhere from two months In n vear. The effort will be to increase the school facill tics o we can do in Philadelphia tho largest business possible with the re sources nt our command." , SWITCHMEN MAY STRIKE 16,500 In Chlcano Thraten to Walk Out Before Monday Chicago.

May" Go to Connecticut Miss Paul is closely in touch with tho suffrago situation in Connecticut, Ver mont and Louisiana and probably will make a trip to Connecticut before re turning to Dover. Gratifyng results were , obtained by the Delaware suffragists, who compiled a state-wide drivo today to win sup port for tho ratification amendment. Although defeated in the House at Dover on Thursday the measure will bo taken up again on Monday and the suffragists believe they have now muB tered enough strength to force tho reso lution through. Mrs. Lawrence Lewis, rhnlrman of the national ratification committee, and several other Philadelphia women, took part in yesterday's drive. They went to every nook nnd corner of Delaware and urged the suffragists in each town nnd hamlet to remind their representa tives where they stood. The antis are not idle. Today they formed a permanent organization in Dover, which is their biggest strong hold in Delaware. They declare they have a few surprises in store for tho suffragists, and hint that they will be strong enough to defeat the ratifica tion resolution in the Senate, just as they did in tho House. Claiming fifteen votes sure for suf frage in the House, only three more be ing needed, an attack was begun today in the district of Representative Clen daulel, of Sussex. Clendanlel is a suf fragist, but voted with the antls to please his constituents. If another con be won over the fight in the House is won, as Danzenbaker, who did not vote, says he will support the resolution if his vote is needed. Word went out from legislators that snffrngc would be sidestepped next week for other business, if that plan can be i .irrU.i i,rnirli I happens, will spend the week campaign The suffragists, if this , ing in Sussex county.

Prosidont TWO VIEWS OF MANDATE By Uio Associated Press Washington, April 3. President Wilson transmitted to the Senate today the report of the American commission, 'headed by Major General Harbord, which investigated conditions in Ar menia, The report had twice been asked for by the Senate, first last November and then under a resolution adopted sev eral weeks ago. The commission made no recommen dations as to tho United Htatcs assum ing a mandate over Turkey nnd Ar menia, but its report contnincd ex tensive arguments for and against such action, y No mandate should be taken, the commission said, without formal agree ment with France and Great Britain and nlso "definite npproval" of Ger many and Russia. The inhabitants, the mission stated, desire America to take the mandate first, with Great Britain their second choice. Two Views of Question Tho principal arguments advanced in favor of tho United States ncccptlng a mnndato were that tho influence of tho United States would tend to overt wars: that tho Inhnblants wanted American protection and that this would give, tho United States nn oppor tunity to do a great humanitarian work. Reasons advanced against a mandate were that it "would weaken our posi tion relative to tho Monroe Doctrine," that "humnnitarianlsm begins at homo" and that the first year's cost would be $275,000,000, including $88,000,000 for the army nnd navy. "Better millions for a mandate than billions for war," said tho recommen dations favoring a mandate "If America accepts a mandate for tho region visited by this mission," snid General Harbord, "it will undoubtedly do so from a strong senso of interna tional duty and at tho unnnlmous de sire, so expressed at least, of ita, col leagues .in the League of Nations. United katcs Should Make Conditions "Accepting this difficult task without previously securing tho assurance of conditions would bo fatal to success. The United States should make its own conditions, certainly before and not after acceptance, for there nre a multi tude of interests that will. conflict with what any American would consider -a proper administration of the country." "In our opinion thero should be specific pledges in the terms of formal agreements with France, nnd England and definite approval from Germany and Russia to the disposition made of Turkey and trans-Caucasia and a pledge to respect tnom." In administration and sanitation, the rcpoVt said, America could old tho peo ples residing in the territory, and against the expense it would save the amount now given charitably for Near Eastern aid. Mandator' for Constantinople Without recommending whether the United States should or should not ac cept a Turkish mandatory, General Harbord's conclusions were that a man datory by some power was tho only solution of tho problem. The manda tory territory, he stated, should in clude Constantinople. Estimates of the number of troops required for a mandatory. General Har bord stated, varied from 25,000 to 200, 000, but. he added, that he believed 59,000 would be required the first year. The Turks, he said, would not object to a mandatory over Armcnln and pos sibly other sections, while a plebiscite would show nn overwhelming majority in Armenia nnd In some other sections for American supervision. Separate mandatories for different sectioHS of Turkish territory was dis approved.
