In order to cope Kth the situation n new course has been adopted b'y the Board of Educa tion which maxos use of the problem project method and conveys to the child a better realization of the subject under dlscusilon. , The new course was mapped out only after many years work on tho part of a .committee of about twcnty-fivo promi nent educators. The committee started to form the course in 1018, but when the great war started was forced to give no the work. Last spring the commit teemen were again called together and after much revising and correcting of their former plans constructed the course of study that will begirrwith the first grade and contlnuo through the entire grammar school. The greatest difficulty today is to ob tain text books that aro up to date. Most of the publishing houses are anx iously waiting for more settled condi tions io Kurope before revising their books. Pome have placed on the market books which contain the old maps and the political boundaries of the countries with the new or probable boundaries marked by colored lines. Dr. George Wheeler, associate super intendent of schools, explained yester day the manner in which maps would be used so as to givo the children last ing picture's of tho countrlea. "The teachers," he said, "will be provided with blank outline maps which they can fill in with tho lines as they now stand. Each child can then copy the man nnd nnste his copy in his book. That will enablo them to keep abreast with the times, and mane tnem inde pendent of any special book which is out of date. "Another method that, we may employ is to mnkc stencils of the map of Europe and then distribute them for careful comparison with fho map as published In the past." The new course as instituted will enable the teachers to be very explicit in their explanations to the children. It' is made up in a most interesting man ner and tnkes somewhat tho form of a travelogue starting from Philadelphia and going all over the world. As each place is "discussed important questions are asked pertaining to its products, in dustry ana commerco, as for instance: On leaving Philadelphia, the Delawaro river h noted, end questions asked about its use for shipping. Its advantages over sending goods by rail to New York. FUGITIVE SHirHERE Ruitlan Gaptaln Foara Confiscation of Vessel by Bolshevists ,. Jaring to go homo, knowing that J, ?'" so tne "Plendld steel ship on which they were sailing would bo confiscated by the Bolshevists and thoy themselves probably be made prisoners. Captain T. Tenne and his. crew of fifty Bailors, manning tho Russian steamship Irtysh, now in tho Philadel phia port, have been roaming tho scaa since Lenino and Trotzky set up tho Bolshevist rule in .Russia. Probably no set of men reaching American shores are moro homesick than they. In far away Russia fath ers, mothers and older relatives await their return. After long waits at New York, Bal timore, Norfolk and Newport News, Captain Tenne concluded to bring his ship to this port, arriving hero Au gust 15. Yesterday ho was fortunate enough to mako a contract to tako C0OO tons of gas coal to Rotterdam, and said ho hoped that tho Poles would havo defeated the Reds that by tho time his vessel got to Rotterdam, so that It would .be safe for him and hl crew to once moro visit their homes.
