UAV1U tIUHUUH( BCllChUIJ " VW
Trcdyffrin district nclioel benhl and di
rector of the Pnell Scheel, wifd today
that treuble there ' between ntipllH and
teachers, which led te a parent' In In
dlgnatten meeting last night, is Caused
by the largencs of the classes Jind the
unnillness of many of the pupils.
"There are only four teachers," said
Mr. Whltwerth, "for 200 pupils. The
clas-'cs, therefore, are tee large for
proper dljclplbie.
"I have Tlsltcd the school many
times. I have found the children in
many instances extremely disobedient.
The teachers nrc net cruel or brutal. In
one Instance, a teacher struck a pupil
In self defense. I think it was justified.
I have heard of ether cases where pupils
threatened te 'bent the teachers up.'
There must he some means found te
keep the children in line, for their own
geed."
Charges were made nt the Indignation
meeting that teachers pulled the chil
dren's hair nnd bent them. The meet
ing was held last night at the Itcd Cress
Heuse, Pnell.
"Humors and downright lies." was
the mnnne: in which II. Hewnrd neb
bins, supervising principal of the
school, snid today when told of the
meeting and charges.
"One bir difficulty we encounter," he
Bald, "is the refusal of some parents te
co-operate with us, and the result is
that the children from these homes are
openly defiant of the teachers' rule.-"
Xaw Teaching Force
Samuel IV. Tencrt the only member
of the llenrd of Education present at
the meeting, said today that he believed
much of the trouble wag due te misun
derstanding nnd lack of co-operation
between teachers nnd parents.
"We havn a new tenchlng force nt
the school,'' he said, "and, nnturnlly,
some difficulties arc being encountered.
One or two of the teachers nre rather
Inexpevlcnced nnd need nld from parents."
As a result of the failure of the ether
members of the Heard of Education te
attend last night's meeting, nnethe.r
gathering has been called for the high
school at llerwyn en November 12, und
all Cue beard member nrc expected te
attend.
' One of the most serious complaints
mndi lust nlgnt came trem a .Mrs.
Ilervl. who said her son had been
dragged about the room by the hair by
his teacher, nnd later subjected te ether
severe punishment for some miner in
fraction of the rules.
Says Girl Was Abused
"A c rl nunll who dared nretent
against tills inhumnn treatment wan
subjected te n volley of disgraceful
abuse by tlm teacher," Mrs. Ueryl hnltl.
Walter Eves said thnt his eldest
daughter, Ksther, fourteen years of
ige, hart been struck se violently .across
the face by a teacher that the mark of
the blew was still plainly visible when
Esther reached her home.
"I de net inflict physical punishment
upon my children, and I won't have
tiwbed.v else doing It." be said. "I
called upon Miss Wheatley, the teacher,
and she admitted striking Ksther, but
said that it was done in a moment of
anger.
"Frem my knowledge of conditions
at the school, I would bay that the chil
dren are making little progress in their
(turtles and there is an utter lack of
discipline."
Sajs Ears Were Beel ,
Mrs. M. Lancaster, whose son, Rich
ard, is in MKs Whentley's class,
rharged today that the child had been
truck ever the head four times with a
ruler nnd. his ears were boxed. She
raid he had been punished frequently,
and often the punishment wns uncalled
for. Yesterday, she said, n girl had
asked him a question during nn ex
amination and he hath answered "no."
Thereupon, the mother nlleged, the
teacher refused te let him take the
examination, but gave it te him later,
fearing he would tell his mother and
the matter would be brought up at the
meeting.
Similar charges are made by ether
parents, and denied or explained by the
teachers.
.Miss Eva W. Wheatley, one of the
teachers accused of having slapped
Esther Eves, said today that the child
had pushed past her when told te stay
in school.
"I breucht her hack." snid tlm
.teacher, "and must have pinched her
prm in doing se. She ran out of the
deer again, shook her fist at me nnd
nert. then, unexpectedly, she struck
le. I slapped her face.

te me that they are trying te force us
te' resign,"
ninme Ileth Sides
Mrs. William M. Smith, member of
a committee appointed by the towns
people te luvcstlgatq the trouble at the
school, said today she thought the
blame lav en both sides,
, "Pupils nnd tenchcrs alike nre te
blame. ? think," said Mrs. Smith.' "The
township needs discipline. The teach
ers are having trouble largely because
.the classes nre tee large for them te
handle.
"I de net see hew wc can solve our
problem unless we get hearty co-operation
between teachers, parents and
school directors,"

Mrs. W. Harry King, wire of the

hnd made threats against Bartlett some

thought that neHslblv Asn.v when he
went en the rmnpnge in the jail, was
really hunting for llnrtlett as Ihe victim.
The Kinu family lived In .Tne street.
Burlington. Fer nine years the Iis-

"I hnd n feeling yesterday morning

Stirred by statements of n prominent'
professor of dentistry nt the University
of Pennsylvania belittling women ns
dentists, Dr. Ellzn Yerkes. for thirty
years a successful practitioner, will pre
sent the matter te the Women's Dental
Society.
It was Dr. It. Hamllt D. Swing, pro
fessor of oral surgery and anesthesia at
the University who made remarks that
have reused Dr. Yerkes and ether prom
inent women dentists of the city.
Dr. Swing held his sister dentists te
be excellent en theory nnd admitted
that women made geed teachers en some
subjects in dentistry but he summar
ized by contending that they never made
geed practitioners.
"I have never yet seen any high
class work done by a woman dentist,"
he said. "Their work is sloppy."
"I am surprised te hear Dr. Swing
mnke such assertions," Dr. Yerkes said
this morning between busy moments nt
her office nt 4004 Chestnut street. "He
has only te leek around him te find the
successful woman dentist. I personally
have bean practicing for thirty years
and I am sure I wouldn't have done
that if I were net in some measure suc
cessful. "Mere and mere women are taking
up dentistry every year nnd they nre
successful nt it because they are vir
tually suited te it. Women nre con
scientious nnd patient. These arc their
outstanding virtues nnd thnt Is what the
practice of dentistry requires.
"A woman holds the chair of dental
hygiene at Columbia University. That
doesn't prove that wc nrc se bnckward.
does It? As for the contention that
women s work is sloppy, that is absurd
Of course it isn't. But the work stands
for itself nnd deesn t admit of argument.
"I shall bring Dr. Swing's state
ments before the Women's Dentnl Se
ciety at its next meeting, which Is In
two weeks."

As a result of pretests made by the

of the motorists were fined.
J. Mnxwcll Smith, hecretnry of the
Keystone Club, pointed out te Chief of
Police Dennghy that the signs establish
ing the fiftccn-mlle meter vehicle act of
