Several days ago. a Chicago man was arrested and haled into court €>n a charge of having forced his at- tentions upon a young lady while on a suburban train. The man gave a fictitious name and the Judge, before whom the case was tried, either wit- tingly or through some misunder- standing, allowed tbe case to be dropped after the defendants attor- ney had said that to reveal his client's name might "ruin his beautff-: home ilea.'* Immediately a storm of pro- test arose and the matter was taken up by some of the most prominent club women injLbe city with the re- suit that the case has been reopened, ft now looks as though not only would the culprit's identity be disclosed but that he would be properly punished for his actions. The man unquestion- ably has home lies, but we very much doubt whether or not he can boast of "beautiful home ties." Men such as he has shown himself, to be never have such things. The fact that this man li a prominent business man is no reason why his Identity should be hid- den. As an example to others of his Ilk he should be held up to public censure and ridicule, nut why u u ■ WHAT A CHANGE! What would those old New Eng- landers think If they could sense the meaning of the Thanksgiving day of the present? The development of %\Wm^-^W-ia^W§^^W^ Now Trior high school, addressed a meeting of the Evanaton Parents and Teachers association. High School di- vision, on Thursday evening In the high school building. His subject was "Junior High Schools." Dr. Bigelow, chairman of tbe division, Introduced the speaker. Mr. Brown began his address by calling attention to tbe,,marvelous growth of the American public high school, all within leas than a century. The first high school was organised in 1821. In 1880 there were 800; in 1912 there were 13,100. The high school oc- cupies now an enviable position. It was once an object of some jealousy. Grade school teachers thought it un- duly favored In equipment and salar- ies. College men thought a public high school could not properly prepare for college. The colleges are now over- crowded and are looking around for some relief during the first two years, and. are willing to accept help from the high school. Grade schools recog- national football day from the day set aside for fasting and prayer of thanks- giving for a bountiful harvest after a season of almost famine is amazing even from our point of view. Seen in retrospect, tbe change can bo marked step by step, its features accounted for by the altered character of the people and the continuous nature of our pros- perity. The wildest speculation of the future of Thanksgiving day in the early days of our national life would not have been likely even to approach tbe truth of today. If they could have looked Into the future of Thanksgiving day in the verted into a day of hilarity and sport, those grim old Puritans would cer- tainly have become grimmer still and we should have had no Thanksgiving day. * * % better work in connection with high schools. Public confidence is shown by the large sums expended in such build- ings as the new Nicholas Senn and Hyde Park high schools. The. public high school Is a conspicuous success. Yet it Is susceptible of further adap- tation. The Junior High School. The speaker outlined the experi- ments now being tried in changing the grouping of the school years by forming intermediate schools, or jun- ior high schools, including grades seven and eight, and one or more of the present high school group. These re-arrangements are known technical- ly as the 6-3-3 plan, the 6-6 plan, and the 6-2-4 plan, according to the group- ing of the twelve school years adopt- initiative. It gives earlier acquaint- ance with high school subjects. The study of Latin and modern languages Is better begun at 12 years of age than later. There la also economy of the pupil's time. In the nine years of grade school and Junior high school one year's time can be saved by elimi- nating non-essentials, by avoiding repetition, and by better correlation between grade and high school. Con- cord, N. h., has proved this, try* ing successfully a 6-2-3 plan. Fur- ther the number of pupils dropping out of school Is lessened where Jun- ior high schools are organized. The greatest loss now occurs at the sixth and seventh grade. This Is partly from lack of interest Berkeley. Cal., reports a leas of only 16 per cent as compared with the estimated average loss of 60 per cent under the old plan. The principal of the Grand. Rapids junior high school reports an increase in attendance in three years from 430 to 871. Ha adds that the work of the third year pupils Is of distinctly hith- er grade than the work of the fresh- men class of the ordinary four year high school. Has Been Successful. The Junior high school has in no case proved a failure. ' Everywhere success' la reported. Our present change from grade school to high school is too abrupt and comes at the wrong age, psychologically. Our ar- rangement of grade and high school years Is Illogical and based on acci- dents of history. No other great mod- ern nation has such a division. Ohio Minnesota and Michigan lead in the organization of junior high schools. Illinois schools have given marc at- tention to extending the high school course Upward to cover the first two years of college, as in Jollet and in several of the Chicago schools. This often results in the saving of another year's time to the pupil by better cor- relation of studies. The University of Chicago and Michigan university ex- 10 10 that such eases occur with such alarm- ing frequency? This is not, by any moans, thfrilrat case of its^rfnd that has happened recently. An article ap- pearing in the Chicago Dally News signed "Business Woman," may, at least partially, answer this question She says: "Much has been said about th« mala WOMEN AH HUM AX BEINGH.

The advantages of tbe junior high school are the change at the sixth grade to departmental teaching, with greater freedom of discipline and in- struction; sonic -freedom of electives, as in language and manual training; and the solving of the problem of vo- cational and pre-vocational' wo-'.., which should begin at the seventh grade period, and requires a more flex- ible system "than that of our present The junior high school jpirt.

The public scarcely knows whether to look upon the character of women's meetings as evidence of their qualifica- tion to vote or the lack of It; whether the boon of the ballot raises or lowers woman to the level of men. it ought not to be a surprise to see women behaving much as men do un- der the same circumstances, for women giving scope for the development of The Illinois law nowhere defines a high school, and the courts have not passed upon the question, but there is probably no legal obstacle In the way of establishing the junior high school in Illinois. After the address, when opportunity offered, the rapid-fire of questions asked of the speaker gave evidence of the lively interest of the audience, seventy-five in number. The meeting was then turned over to the social committee and adjourned to the school lunch room, where refresh ments were served. Gaga'a sub., lot 9. e. %, n. w. %. 17, 42. 13, Nov. 10--L. «.

Hardly had the vessel's prow touched the seaweed when the flies, at- tracted by the savory fumes of the cargo, began to swarm about the deck. They -gathered in countless numbers, penetrated the wicker sugar bags, then attacked the crew, stinging men about the face and bands. For five days the flies continued their on- slaught, driving the men almott to desperation. Then there came an un- expected rescue. A flock of boatswain birds circled and wheeled above the steamer, and then swooped down upon it. In one day the birds cleared the Kensington of the pests, and then flew away.
