TO SCHOOL ROVING KIDDIES
Miss Llla Acheson Will Open Insti
tution for Children Today
Upon MIsa Lilr, Acheson, director
of the first eastern states summer school
for migrant workers' children, which
opens today at Itiverton, N. .!., de
volves the responsibility of protecting
communities in the strawberry districts
from roving bandi of youngsters.
The pnrents have for years moved
from the cities to New Jersey and
other communities to pick strawberries
in summer. Their children go nlong,
and it has been developed by the sur
vey of the Intcrchurch World Move
ment that theso children arc cntirly
uncarcd for. They arc bothersome to
residents of localities where their parents
work in the berry fields, and grow up
without supervision and guidance.
x Children will be taken by motor bus
each morning to the school, where there
is a day nursery for the youngest, nnd
graded schools for the others, with a
good noon-time meal. Miss Acheson
Is assisted by Miss Emily Yntes, of
the Trenton Young Men s Christian
Association, nnd Miss Margaret Ward,

RECTOR SPEAKS AT PENN
Education Should Develop Spiritual
Nature, Graduates Are Told
"Xo education is complete unless it
develops a spiritual nature."
A statement to this effect was made
by the Itev. Dr. Louis C. Washburn,
rector of Old Christ Chinch, who de
livered the bnccalaureate sermon yes
terday 'morning to the graduating clnss
of the University of, Pennsylvania.
"My firm conviction is that in our
modern process of education there is nn
over-emphasis upon the merely physical
nnd mental development, leaving the
moral nature unfocused nnd threaten
ing to stump our civilization with
spiritual illiteracy.
"Has. your education kindled in you
the undying fire? Has your sense of
values been so trained as to magnify
and magnetize life's true goal in the.
trinity of truth, beauty nnd holiness'
The youth who survived the trenches
hns caught n glimpse of the Christ and
has come to define God ns the 'God of
heroic enterprise,' n God who cares,
and cares immeasurably, for the wel
fare of this planet."
Dr. Washburn cited examples of fa
mous men who have gone before the
present dny, who furnish n fund of "in

DEATH STARTS WAR
AGAINST SPARKLER
Mayor Will Be Asked to Put Ban
on Fireworks Causing
Fatality
FIRST VICTIM THIS YEAR
Mayor Moore will be asked to pro
hibit the sale of "harmless" Fourth
of July sparklers today. A delegation,
of city officials wilt ask such action as
the result of the death of Cotter Slack,
seven yenrs old, this year's first victim
of the sparkler.
Cotter, the only child of Sir. nnd
Mrs. Harry M. Slack. 714 South Fifty
ninth street, died Friday night after
four days nnd nights nt ngony. His
clothes were Ignited Monday night while
ho was playing with a "harmless"
sparkler. The funeral will be tomor
row.
Although no less than thirty-seven
little boys nnd girls of., this city have
met dentil in tho last thirteen years as
a result of playing with the "harm
less" sparkler, the police department
thus far lias persisted in its attitude
of not Including tho deadly toys in the
restrictions governing the sale of fire
works sent to the dealers each year.
This year's regulations, issued by the
police Inst April, again fall:d even to
mention tho sparkler.
Cortclyou Investigates Hoy's Dcatli
Prominent members of the adminis
tration nro determined that this con
dition must be changed nt once nnd for
eood nnd all. Director Cortclyou, of
the Department of Public Scfsty, yes
terday began nn investigation of the
Slack boy's death. lie hns pledged
himself to do all in his power to have
the "harmless"' sparkier placed tinder
the police ban, and ho is one of the
men who will confer on the subject with
the Mayor today.
Another member of the city govern
ment who has promised to use hN in
fluence for the protection of Philndcl
phla's youngsters Is Edward A. Nop
unl nctiel-nnt director of the Depart
ment of Public Welfare nnd chairman
nf Mm mnnlclnal committee on n safe

death may be the means of protecting
hundreds of little children in tnc tuiiirc
Tho 'harmless sparkler must go. Chil
dren should not ue exposed to n gnu-
some death by faulty police regulations, j
nnd pnrents should be spared the heart-
brenking ngony of losing their little
ones through thoo horrible pla things." I
Jfr. Nonnel today will place thc mat
ter before Director Tustin. of the De
partment of Public Wclfnre, and he
also will call upon Mayor Moore.
Police Captain Sympathetic
Cnptnin George S. Tempest, assistant
superintendent of police, ye.sterdny ex
pressed confidence that Director Cor
telyou's Investigation would result In
an order forbidding the sale of thc
"harmless" sparkler."
."The order has to come from the
director," said Captain Tempest.
"Without his approval, the superin
tendent can do nothing in a en so like
this. Hut I am confident thc order
will be issued.
"The most importnnt phase of this
entire thing Is the human aspect. Direc
tor Cortclyou has children of his own,
and he appreciates the danger ; he, too,
can imngine what the father and mother
of this little Slack boy arc suffering, I
have little ones myself, nnd it is not
difficult for me to put myself in their
place." And the big police captain wns
visibly affected as he added :
"No one wants n little child to die,
i ml least of nil to burn to death."
Cotter Slack met his death about
three weeus earner than any "harm

to take serious action on Sundny. mem
bers of the Nntlonnl League of Women
Workers, who met nt Hryn Mnwr Col
lege yesterday, voted to change the name
of the organization to the Nntlonnl
League of Girls' Clubs.
The selection of n name developed
some of the warmest discussions of the
convention. At tho close of the Satur
day afternoon session the matter wns
referred to a committee. That action
would have resulted in the postponement
of a new name until the next convention
nt Vnssnr College In 1022. Several del
egates insisted that the nninc nc se
lectcd before the convention ndjourned
yesterday afternoon. The question then
arose whether It were Icgnl in l'eunsyi -

0$ An interesting side
light on the trend of
business our way, is
found in thc largely
increasing number of
our new customers
who formerly dealHn
other stores.
fi It has been so marked,
especially this season, that
our salesmen have called at
tention to it. They are an
observant lot of men,1 and
if a customer leaves an old
suit to be sent home, which
has another store label on it,
our men make mental notes.
3 Wc are not at all surprised
at the trend our way, be
cause we know that many
stores having caught thc re
duced price mania arc cater
ing to it rather than sustain
ing Oie quality of their mer
chandise, hence many of
their regular customers are
dissatisfied.
TEMPLE CLASS WARNED

Doctor MacCallum, in Bacca

"Allow no material interest to ternpt

"Don the sacred altar of learning nt this
Bhrlnc," was the advice of the Ilcv. Dr.
I. A. MacCallum, pastor of the Wal

delivered the baccalaureate sermon to
the graduates of Temple University yes
terday in the school forum.
"Most of the world's Ills today arc
due to the failure 'of the leaders to make
truth their blithest interest." the clergy
man said. "The temptation to lower
our standards is always strong nnd
here tho danger of the educated man is
greater than that of the ignorant, for
he has further to fall."
Speaking of the dangerous elements

Cnllum said :
"The gravest menace which confronts
our nation and our civilization Is not

of the ruling classes put the stress upon

"Our Ideals must be transformed
