jEvanston Superintendent Announces
New Regime Which Includes Mu
sic, Folk Dances and Movies.
Evanston, 111.—Mvic Is just ns Im
portant ns tbo multiplication table and
folk di nciiig is us great a spur to
“iiful biuins as is geography, in
h r opinion of Frederick \V. Nltliols,
superintendent of school district No.
70, comprising the South Evanston
schools, who announced a new regime
for Ihi' Lincoln, Onkton, Central and
Washington grade schools.
The four schools will be open to
the pupiTs from 8:00 o'clock in the
morning until ten at night. Classes
will lust until 3:30 in the afternoon,
but pupils will be permitted to go
home at any hour their parents de
sire.
"I cm going, to eliminate home
work,” said Superintendent Niehols.
“It is the bugbear of school children.
And there will be no examinations;
they merely worry the youngsters.
The students will do all their scholas
tic work right In the classrooms.”
In addition, the schools will remain
open until ten o'clock in the evening
for special classes In manual training,
music, languages, art, dramatic*
letlc games, folk dances, domestic
science and movies. The parents will
I be invited to come to these classes
I w ith their children.
“Examinations are an unhealthy,
antiquated tyranny,” added Superin
tendent Nichols. “Growing children
should not he compelled to sit in elass-
; rooms all day and then lug hooks
home for night lessons. You can't
get an estimate of a child’s mental
; equipment by insisting that tie cram
i a lot of facts in his head and scribble
as many as he can remember on the
semester exam papers.
"I'm going to tench these youngster's
'to think for themselves. Dancing and
music lessons will be mental tonics.
By the new classes pupils will gain
I self-reliance, a love of sciiotd life,
land agile minds"

a law providing Sis si week “allow
ance” to the unemployed man lmvlng

wife and six children. The average
wage received by the Londoner who
works is 815. Tints it would benefit
the worker h.v Just ?.'! to quit Ills jot)
and join the ranks of the unemployed.
Shoreditch and Hackney boroughs
have fixed “allowances" at $22.50. a
week. The I onrd of guardians of
occupation or business for which they ] Woolwich borough is considering an
“allowance” of SCfi a week. Socialist
leaders u bo have gained control of
