Faulty Nutrition Blamed P ^T-TEACHER T- r^r-ij ' n >r */ MOVEMENT DATES For Children s Poor leeth BACK 25 YEARS The Public Service Company of Colo- rado has begun the Installation of its second unit in the Valmont plant' and It will be ready for operation, within 60 days. The first unit has a capacity of . 20A>00 kilowatts and the second 25.000 kilowatts. This second unit Is the largest steam turbine generator between the^ Missis- sippi river and the Pacific coast. Its largest single casting weighs 60 tons, which, easily comes within the capacity Of the company's 100-ton electric crane that is p*rt of the plant construction. The generating units were built by the General Electric Company In Schenec- tady. The great efficiency that has been reached In the Valmont plant of the Public Service Company of Colorado, particularly through the use of pow- dered coal for steaming, has brought the operating costs to an extremely low level. The use of powdered coal allows the boilers to run at about 200 per cent of their rated capacity, and 80 per cent Of the Coal tonnage Is converted into Utilised heat, the 20 per cent loss con- .. sletlng of ash. 6 per cent, and radiation and chimney gasses. 16 per cent, v This plant is the largest single con- sumer of lignite powdered coal in the world, although a larger one is being Instilled in Texas, which will burn the lignite from that state. > The electric current Is generated at 13,000 volts and Is stepped up to 100,000 . volts f6r the transmission line leading to Denver and 44.000 volts for the trans- mission system distributing the current throughout northern Colorado. . Lake Valmont, upon whose shore the plant is located and which furnishes tho condensing water for the steam turbines, ' how has an area of 127 acres, or enough to care for four units similiar to the present ones. Land is owned, however, and a damsite laid out. to increase this area to 600 acres, which will take "care of the 10 units that are contomplarcd in the ultimate scheme. The first step of economy in the use . of powdered coal, according to the prac- tice at the Valmont plant, is the utiliza- tion of a grade of fuel heretofore largely waste, consisting of the dust and slack from the mines. Before the coal Is powdered, the dis- charged hot fumes from the boilers are passed through it, taking out the mois- ture. It is then ground In centrifugal mills of the Chilean type and lifted by air pressure from fans to the distribut- ing storage above the boilers. The mills each have a rated capacity of six tons per hour, but are actually grinding 10 tons. The distribution to the combustion -chambers of the boilers Is by screw con- veyor and air pressure, the air furnish- ing the necessary oxygen. A stream of powdered coal one foot in diameter Is led into the boilers at the rate of eight feet per minute. Within three feet after entering the combustion chamber the powdered coal is entirely incandescent and burns like gas. The temperature is 2.500 to 2,800 degrees. The ash falls as a fine dust through the grates, which are internally water cooled to prevent the ash from vitrify- ing, but as this Incombustible waste represents only five per cent of the or- iginal volume of coal, its disposal Is negligible. The coal used Is from the Frederick and Louisville mines, only a , short distance away. The present -con- sumption is one one-half pounds per horsepower hour, representing 400 tp 500 tons dally. The steam enters the turbine engines at a pressure of 3.76, pounds and a tem- perature of 680-de^ritoe, which Is suf- ficient to melt solder. The exhaust Is Into a vacuum of 24 Inches, corrected to sea level, or within one inch of per- fect vacuum. The feed water to the boilers is preheated to 260 degrees, under pressure. All free oxygen is removed from the water to prevent corrosion in the boilers. The"condenser chamber of the turbine engine equipment contains six miles of one-Inch brass tubing which circulates the cooling water, this entering at 70 degrees during the summer and dls- , charging at 78 to 80. The winter tem- ' perature is somewhat lower. Each unit uses 40,000 gallons per minute, which is supplied by two 20,000 gallon pumps. The steam turbine travels 1.800 revolu- tions per minute, giving the periphery a speed of 10 miles per minute. The turbine has ten layers of steam buckets, each layer containing 300 buckets, or 3,000 In all. The generators is cooled by a closed circuit of washed air, which circulates around the field and through the arma- ture windings. As no fresh air is ad- mitted, and as the air in use is thoroly washed after each circuit, it is kept free pf all dust which would injure the me- chanism. This cooling keeps the gen- erator temperature slightly lower than WOMAN COULD NOT SLEEP Her Mother-in-Law Knew A Remedy Mrs. Belle Thompson, of Georgia, •was in a very weak and run-down condition for four^years. She had "great diffi- culty in getting to sleep at night and even then did not sleep soundly. She would wake up again and again. Besides this her appetite was poor.

Aug. 16 (£•).—Faulty nutrition by mothers before their chil- dren are born and faulty feeding of children In their early years o*u**s most of th« cases of abnormal and mis- fitting teeth. Dr. Percy R. Howe, 6f Boston, noted orthodontic specialist, de- clared today. Speaking at the First International Orthodontic Congress before 600 ortho- dontists from all parts of the world. Dr. Howe presented conclusions he had drawn from experiments In feeding monkeys In order to produce the eame types of teeth found In human beings. By varying the monkeys' diet, he stld he had produced the same deformities which are produced In «humans by faul- ty diet. Pointing out that human milk is the ideal food for building up tissues holding the teeth, he said the milk of modern mothers Is often too scanty or deficient in some of Its prop- erties to provide the tissues with the nlcessary building materials.

Aug. lV(^).—"Gay Paree" would get quite a shock If Mayor Frank X. Schwab could hold the reins of gov- ernment there. He said so himself to- day In an address of welcome to dele- gates to the annual convention of the Fraternal Order of Police. "If I were mayor of Paris for 24 hours I would turn the city upside down," the mayor asserted. He said he learned during his recent European tour that "the city of Paris is no decent place for a decent woman bqcause a decent woman is not respected there." "I made an inspection of the city with members of the Paris police, and I was amazed at the things that went on," he said. "The reason for conditions there Is that French policemen are not re- spected as are American policemen. .In Paris they believe In the iron shackle, the wagon and the judge. Buffalo policemen know humanity ami are schooled in courtesy and kindness." Troy Motorist and Companion Are Held WATERVLIET. August 16 (Special).— John Quinn and John Doyle, both rest- dents of Troy, were arrested yesterday by Captain Frederick Broderick, the for- mer on a charge of intoxication and the latter charged with reckless driving. Acting on a telephone complaint that a car was being driven North on Broad- way at excessive speed caused Captain Broderick and Patrolman Conlan to sta- tion themselves at Fifteenth street.

Fire Destroys Mill at Guilderland Center The. Schenectady College Woman's Club'Is an organization of graduate! of colleges throughout the country who are living in Schenectady. It was organized In 1902 and its membership has grown steadily, until it now numbers about 225. For many years it has given a scholar- ship to a graduate of the high school to enable her to continue her studies. The amount given has increased from time to time and this year $400 was divided be- tween two girls. Five years ago. the club organized Its first exhibition of pictures, and since then an exhibition has been held annually In Hanna Hall of I'nion College, the club meeting the deficits from its treasury. The Young People's Concert have had two seasons, offering the best of musical literature at a minimum cost and at a time of day when young people can at- tend. Members oK^the club and their friends have met the deficits on these concert. In 1922 under the leadership of Presi- dent Ada Comstock of Radcllff College, the American Association of University of Women was found to unite the gradu- ates of colleges of the United States so their community efforts might be made more effective and to affiliate with uni- versity women of foreign countries and soon after the Schenectady College Woman's Club became a branch of the national organization. It was evident to the women who pro- moted this association that the one sub- ject in which all college graduates,, as such, would or should be Interested In education; and it has definitely chosen education as its Held of work. The Schenectady branch is following the lead- ership of the national association in this respect merely emphasized what has al- ready been its chief interest. At the present time the A. A. U. W. has three educational aims, to assist In the forma- tion of an enlightened public opinion re- garding the foreign relations of the United States; to collect and disseminate scientific information regarding the edu- cation of the young child below school age; to study and ~>f possible rrfeke a contribution in the field of elementary education. The Schenectady Branch has groups of members seriously studying in each of tfiese "fields indeed the Young People's Concerts were the first outcome of the work of the elementary education study group. It Is the policy of the A. P. U. W. and of its branches to cooperate with other organizations already In t^e fields of their endeavors, and to -avoid duplica- tion of effort. . The Carnegie Foundation for the Promotion of Peace and the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial have given generous grants to the asso- ciation to enable it to strengthen its program and the local branch has the benefit of its national assistance and guidance in all its own work. The old Hurst grist mill at Guilder- land Center was destroyed by fire last night and for a time It was feared that the flames would communicate with the village hotel and the freight house. Help was summoned from Schenec- tady and the combination chemical and pumping apparatus of station S was sent to the scene. Although Guilder- land is approximately 12 miles from this city* the reflection was so bright that many persons here believed the fire was In the Bpllevue section. Surrounding property was saved through the efforts of employes of the Walsh Construction Company, which Is engaged in highway construction work in that section. The Walsh Company employes with thej use of a small gas- oline pump succeeded In keeping the flames in check until the Altamont Are department and the Schenectady appar- atus arrived. Two horses, which were inla barn In the rear of the mill, vyere destroyed. Girl Found Buried in Sub-Cellar With Her Head Nearly Severed GREENVILLE.

It early entered on a national campaign for co-operation be- tween the two greatest social institutions influencing childhood, the home and the school. Miss Mary W. Backus became interest- ed In the work and at her suggeitlon the first Parent-Teacher's Association In Schenectady was formed in the Euclid avenue school by Miss Frances A. Un- derbill, now principal of the Howe school. One of Its earliest accomplish- ments was to equip the playground with apparatus, some of It still In use there, when playgrounds so equipped were not common. From that small beginning there have grown up active associations in IS schools. Brandywlne, Elmer Avenue, Ky- clid Avenue. Franklin. Fulton. Halsey, Horace Mann. Howe, Lincoln. Yates, Nott Terrace, Van Corlaer and Woodlawn schools, and a community association in Oneida school which has functioned in some respects as a Parent-Teacher Asso- ciation and now has under consideration changing to one. ' In the early years meetings were poor- ly attended, were usually held in the afternoon when fathers could not attend, and the associations were of relatively little importance in community life. Now several associations have an aver- age attendance of from 150 to 250. Each month during the school year an average of 2.000 persons In Schenectady are brought into contact with the schools through association meetings. No prin- cipal of a Schenectady school with a P. T. A. will be Inclined to exclaim with the headmaster of a private school, "if there is one." class of peopU who ought not to have children. It is parents! Working for a common cause has brought mutual respect and mutual un- derstanding between parents and teach- ers. Parent-Teachers' Association meetings are now usually held in the evening when fathers can attend, and many take advantage of the opportunity. There have been at one time in recent years three associations with men presidents. A student in Columbia recently wrote of Alexander the Great,—"He was more like tiis mother than his father, and he never lost a battle'." The inference may he true, yet the growing Interest of fa- thers Is a hopeful sign of better things for our schools. And then Parent-Teachers' Associa- tions have come to be looked upon as community assets for they bring all to- gether In a unity of service. No other organizations have as all inclusive a membership. They are as democratic as the public school Itself or they are not functioning 100 per cent efficient. They have no distinctions of class, color, creed or politics. They represent a vast cross section of public opinion; and as such are admirably fitted to develop pub- lic sentiment and public support of the schools, their methods, their problems and their needs, and that Is becoming an increasingly important aim with Schenec- tady Parent-Teachers' Associations. Two years ago the Schenectady Coun- cil of Parent-Teachers' Associations was formed, not so much as an organization in itself, as for a clearinghouse for par- ent-teachers' activities and interests. It has been of mutual benefit, and together the associations are working for co-oper- ation of home and school, for an edu- cated parenthood, and for a public that shall so understand and appreciate Its public school system that we may have adequate buildings and equipment as modern as that of our great industries, and teachers well trained and generously paid. The Parent-Teacher Association move- ment is entering on its 25th year In Sche- nectady, forward looking, earnest and solicitous for the best for the children of all the people.

War With Spain Is Being Fought Again DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 16 (JP) — The war of 1898 with Spain, wa^s fought over again here today as delegates to the 28th anatlonal encampment of the l.'nlted Spanish War Veterans took the city by storm, to hold It until adjourn- ment next Thursday. While the spirit of the reunion was finding formal ora- torical expression at the city coliseum, individual members were reviving many a good fight on street corhera and In hotel lobbies, materially assisted by a score or more of drum and bugle corps that paraded flag-bedecked street*. A dramatic point In the encampment proceedings came when Governor W. W.

PLANT INSTALLS ITS SECOND UNIT

Will Be Largest Steam Turbine : Generator iBetween Missis-

sippi and Pacific.

Faulty Nutrition Blamed P^T-TEACHER T- r^r-ij ' n >r */ MOVEMENT DATES For Children s Poor leeth BACK 25 YEARS

The Public Service Company of Colo­rado has begun the Installation of its second unit in the Valmont plant' and It will be ready for operation, within 60 days. The first unit has a capacity of

. 20A>00 kilowatts and the second 25.000 kilowatts.

This second unit Is the largest steam turbine generator between the^ Missis­sippi river and the Pacific coast. Its largest single casting weighs 60 tons, which, easily comes within the capacity Of the company's 100-ton electric crane that is p*rt of the plant construction. The generating units were built by the General Electric Company In Schenec­tady.

The great efficiency that has been reached In the Valmont plant of the Public Service Company of Colorado, particularly through the use of pow­dered coal for steaming, has brought the operating costs to an extremely low level. The use of powdered coal allows the boilers to run at about 200 per cent of their rated capacity, and 80 per cent Of the Coal tonnage Is converted into Utilised heat, the 20 per cent loss con-

.. sletlng of ash. 6 per cent, and radiation and chimney gasses. 16 per cent,

v This plant is the largest single con­sumer of lignite powdered coal in the world, although a larger one is being Instil led in Texas, which will burn the lignite from that state.

> The electric current Is generated at 13,000 volts and Is stepped up to 100,000

. volts f6r the transmission line leading to Denver and 44.000 volts for the trans­mission system distributing the current throughout northern Colorado. . Lake Valmont, upon whose shore the plant is located and which furnishes tho condensing water for the steam turbines,

' how has an area of 127 acres, or enough to care for four units similiar to the present ones. Land is owned, however, and a damsite laid out. to increase this area to 600 acres, which will take "care of the 10 units that are contomplarcd in the ultimate scheme.

The first step of economy in the use . of powdered coal, according to the prac­

tice at the Valmont plant, is the utiliza­tion of a grade of fuel heretofore largely waste, consisting of the dust and slack from the mines.

Before the coal Is powdered, the dis­charged hot fumes from the boilers are passed through it, taking out the mois­ture. It is then ground In centrifugal mills of the Chilean type and lifted by air pressure from fans to the distribut­ing storage above the boilers. The mills each have a rated capacity of six tons per hour, but are actually grinding 10 tons.

The distribution to the combustion -chambers of the boilers Is by screw con­

veyor and air pressure, the air furnish­ing the necessary oxygen. A stream of powdered coal one foot in diameter Is led into the boilers at the rate of eight feet per minute. Within three feet after entering the combustion chamber the powdered coal is entirely incandescent and burns like gas. The temperature is 2.500 to 2,800 degrees.

The ash falls as a fine dust through the grates, which are internally water cooled to prevent the ash from vitrify­ing, but as this Incombustible waste represents only five per cent of the or­iginal volume of coal, its disposal Is negligible. The coal used Is from the Frederick and Louisville mines, only a

, short distance away. The present -con­sumption is one one-half pounds per horsepower hour, representing 400 tp 500 tons dally.

The steam enters the turbine engines a t a pressure of 3.76, pounds and a tem­perature of 680-de^ritoe, which Is suf­ficient to melt solder. The exhaust Is Into a vacuum of 24 Inches, corrected to sea level, or within one inch of per­fect vacuum. The feed water to the boilers is preheated to 260 degrees, under pressure. All free oxygen is removed from the water to prevent corrosion in the boilers.

The"condenser chamber of the turbine engine equipment contains six miles of one-Inch brass tubing which circulates the cooling water, this entering at 70 degrees during the summer and dls-

, charging at 78 to 80. The winter tem-' perature is somewhat lower. Each unit

uses 40,000 gallons per minute, which is supplied by two 20,000 gallon pumps.

The steam turbine travels 1.800 revolu­tions per minute, giving the periphery a speed of 10 miles per minute. The turbine has ten layers of steam buckets, each layer containing 300 buckets, or 3,000 In all.

The generators is cooled by a closed circuit of washed air, which circulates around the field and through the arma­ture windings. As no fresh air is ad­mitted, and as the air in use is thoroly washed after each circuit, it is kept free pf all dust which would injure the me­chanism. This cooling keeps the gen­erator temperature slightly lower than

WOMAN COULD NOT SLEEP

Her Mother-in-Law Knew A Remedy

Mrs. Belle Thompson, of Georgia, •was in a very weak and run-down

c o n d i t i o n for four^years. She had "great diffi­culty in getting to sleep at night and even then did not s l e e p s o u n d l y . She would wake up again and again. Besides this her a p p e t i t e was poor. "My moth-eiMn-law told me

of Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Cornpound and Lydia E. Pinkham's Sa.nat.lve Wash," she writes. "I took six bottles of the Vegetable <Jompound and I was not the same woman at all. I could sleep and would get up In the morning sing­ing and feeling fine. I am tho mother of three children and always after thp babies came I had to take treatments, but I can truly say that this last time I have only used the Sanative Wash. It does me more food than the treatments. It keeps me on my feet to care for my chil­dren and I do most, of my work. 1 feel it my duty to let you know how both of the medicines have helped me."—Mas.

N E W YORK. Aug. 16 (£•).—Faulty nutrition by mothers before their chil­dren are born and faulty feeding of children In their early years o*u**s most of th« cases of abnormal and mis­fitting teeth. Dr. Percy R. Howe, 6f Boston, noted orthodontic specialist, de­clared today.

Speaking at the First International Orthodontic Congress before 600 ortho­dontists from all parts of the world. Dr. Howe presented conclusions he had drawn from experiments In feeding monkeys In order to produce the eame types of teeth found In human beings.

By varying the monkeys' diet, he st ld he had produced the same deformities which are produced In «humans by faul­ty diet. Pointing out that human milk is the ideal food for building up tissues holding the teeth, he said the milk of modern mothers Is often too scanty or deficient in some of Its prop­erties to provide the tissues with the nlcessary building materials.

The original Valmont inst i l lat ion and buildings. Including the first generating unit, cost six million dol lars; and the second unit, with Its Installation and appurtenances, will cost $600,000. The ultirrrate cost, when all units are com­pleted, is estimated at 12 million dollars.

T w o independent transmission lines furnish outlets from the Valmont plant to Denvor. Boulder. Fort Collins and Greeley, which Insures against Interrup­tion of service.

A social feature of the Valmont insti­tution is an assembly room and kitchen, where guests may be entertained.

Mayou Schwab Would Totally Upset Paris

BUFFALO. Aug. lV(^).—"Gay Paree" would get quite a shock If Mayor Frank X. Schwab could hold the reins of gov­ernment there. He said so himself to­day In an address of welcome to dele­gates to the annual convention of the Fraternal Order of Police.

"If I were mayor of Paris for 24 hours I would turn the city upside down," the mayor asserted. He said he learned during his recent European tour that "the city of Paris is no decent place for a decent woman bqcause a decent woman is not respected there."

"I made an inspection of the city with members of the Paris police, and I was amazed at the things that went on," he said. "The reason for conditions there Is that French policemen are not re­spected as are American policemen. .In Paris they believe In the iron shackle, the wagon and the judge. Buffalo policemen know humanity ami are schooled in courtesy and kindness."

Troy Motorist and

Companion Are Held WATERVLIET. August 16 (Special).—

John Quinn and John Doyle, both rest-dents of Troy, were arrested yesterday by Captain Frederick Broderick, the for­mer on a charge of intoxication and the latter charged with reckless driving.

Acting on a telephone complaint that a car was being driven North on Broad­way at excessive speed caused Captain Broderick and Patrolman Conlan to sta­tion themselves at Fifteenth street. The car did not stop and Captain Broderick leaped on the running board of the sec­ond car and gave chase. The men were overtakes at Port Schuyler, but not be­fore Captain Broderick had been thrown from the machine to the roadway. Doyle and Quinn will be arraigned In Police Court tomorrow.

Secret of Women's Beauty Is Divulged

BUFFALO. Aug. 16 UP).—Women have discovered that light, loose gar­ments, bobbed hair and exercise have brought health, grace and a clear com­plexion. Dr. Klmer B. Mountain of Des Moines, chairman of the health conser­vation committer of the National Fra­ternal Congress said today in an address at the opening of that organization's annual convention. He. said women, lightly clad, have fewer colds and less pneumonia than men with their unven-tilated clothing.

The 500 delegates, representing more than four score affiliated societies, were welcomed to the city today by Mayor Schwab and other Buffalo speakers.

Fire Destroys Mill at Guilderland Center

The. Schenectady College Woman's Club'Is an organization of graduate! of colleges throughout the country who are living in Schenectady. It was organized In 1902 and its membership has grown steadily, until it now numbers about 225. For many years it has given a scholar­ship to a graduate of the high school to enable her to continue her studies. The amount given has increased from time to time and this year $400 was divided be­tween two girls.

Five years ago. the club organized Its first exhibition of pictures, and since then an exhibition has been held annually In Hanna Hall of I'nion College, the club meeting the deficits from its treasury. The Young People's Concert have had two seasons, offering the best of musical literature at a minimum cost and at a time of day when young people can at­tend. Members oK^the club and their friends have met the deficits on these concert.

In 1922 under the leadership of Presi­dent Ada Comstock of Radcllff College, the American Association of University of Women was found to unite the gradu­ates of colleges of the United States so their community efforts might be made more effective and to affiliate with uni­versity women of foreign countries and soon after the Schenectady College Woman's Club became a branch of the national organization.

It was evident to the women who pro­moted this association that the one sub­ject in which all college graduates,, as such, would or should be Interested In education; and it has definitely chosen education as its Held of work. The Schenectady branch is following the lead­ership of the national association in this respect merely emphasized what has al­ready been its chief interest. At the present time the A. A. U. W. has three educational aims, to assist In the forma­tion of an enlightened public opinion re­garding the foreign relations of the United States; to collect and disseminate scientific information regarding the edu­cation of the young child below school age; to study and ~>f possible rrfeke a contribution in the field of elementary education. The Schenectady Branch has groups of members seriously studying in each of tfiese "fields indeed the Young People's Concerts were the first outcome of the work of the elementary education study group.

It Is the policy of the A. P. U. W. and of its branches to cooperate with other organizations already In t^e fields of their endeavors, and to -avoid duplica­tion of effort. . The Carnegie Foundation for the Promotion of Peace and the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial have given generous grants to the asso­ciation to enable it to strengthen its program and the local branch has the benefit of its national assistance and guidance in all its own work.

The old Hurst grist mill at Guilder-land Center was destroyed by fire last night and for a time It was feared that the flames would communicate with the vil lage hotel and the freight house.

Help was summoned from Schenec­tady and the combination chemical and pumping apparatus of station S was sent to the scene. Although Guilder-land is approximately 12 miles from this city* the reflection was so bright that many persons here believed the fire was In the Bpllevue section.

Surrounding property was saved through the efforts of employes of the Walsh Construction Company, which Is engaged in highway construction work in that section. The Walsh Company employes with thej use of a small gas­oline pump succeeded In keeping the flames in check until the Altamont Are department and the Schenectady appar­atus arrived. Two horses, which were in la barn In the rear of the mill, vyere destroyed.

Girl Found Buried in Sub-Cellar With Her

Head Nearly Severed G R E E N V I L L E . Tenn., Aug. 16 UP).—

Mrs. Robert Tipton, charged with mur­der, and her husband, held as a material witness, are In jail here tonight as the result of finding the almost decapitated body of Leola Winkle. 13, In a sub-cellar of the Tipton home near here today.

Mrs. Tipton was accused by an officer as the slayer of the missing girl and Is said to have admitted the killing and led the searching party to the body.

The child's body gave evidence of hav­ing been dead for three or four days. The face had been beaten almost to a pulp and there were two huge gashes In the throat

The National Congress of Mothers— now the National Congress of Parents and Teachers—came into existence In W'uhington in 1897. It early entered on a national campaign for co-operation be­tween the two greatest social institutions influencing childhood, the home and the school.

Miss Mary W. Backus became interest-ed In the work and at her suggeitlon the first Parent-Teacher's Association In Schenectady was formed in the Euclid avenue school by Miss Frances A. Un­derbill, now principal of the Howe school. One of Its earliest accomplish­ments was to equip the playground with apparatus, some of It still In use there, when playgrounds so equipped were not common.

From that small beginning there have grown up active associations in IS schools. Brandywlne, Elmer Avenue, Ky-clid Avenue. Franklin. Fulton. Halsey, Horace Mann. Howe, Lincoln. Yates, Nott Terrace, Van Corlaer and Woodlawn schools, and a community association in Oneida school which has functioned in some respects as a Parent-Teacher Asso­ciation and now has under consideration changing to one. '

In the early years meetings were poor­ly attended, were usually held in the afternoon when fathers could not attend, and the associations were of relatively little importance in community life.

Now several associations have an aver­age attendance of from 150 to 250. Each month during the school year an average of 2.000 persons In Schenectady are brought into contact with the schools through association meetings. No prin­cipal of a Schenectady school with a P. T. A. will be Inclined to exclaim with the headmaster of a private school, "if there is one." class of peopU who ought not to have children. It is parents! Working for a common cause has brought mutual respect and mutual un­derstanding between parents and teach­ers.

Parent-Teachers' Association meetings are now usually held in the evening when fathers can attend, and many take advantage of the opportunity. There have been at one time in recent years three associations with men presidents. A student in Columbia recently wrote of Alexander the Great,—"He was more like tiis mother than his father, and he never lost a battle'." The inference may he true, yet the growing Interest of fa­thers Is a hopeful sign of better things for our schools.

And then Parent-Teachers' Associa­tions have come to be looked upon as community assets for they bring all to­gether In a unity of service. No other organizations have as all inclusive a membership. They are as democratic as the public school Itself or they are not functioning 100 per cent efficient. They have no distinctions of class, color, creed or politics. They represent a vast cross section of public opinion; and as such are admirably fitted to develop pub­lic sentiment and public support of the schools, their methods, their problems and their needs, and that Is becoming an increasingly important aim with Schenec­tady Parent-Teachers' Associations.

Two years ago the Schenectady Coun­cil of Parent-Teachers' Associations was formed, not so much as an organization in itself, as for a clearinghouse for par­ent-teachers' activities and interests. It has been of mutual benefit, and together the associations are working for co-oper­ation of home and school, for an edu­cated parenthood, and for a public that shall so understand and appreciate Its public school system that we may have adequate buildings and equipment as modern as that of our great industries, and teachers well trained and generously paid.

The Parent-Teacher Association move­ment is entering on its 25th year In Sche­nectady, forward looking, earnest and solicitous for the best for the children of all the people.

War With Spain Is Being Fought Again

DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 16 (JP) — The war of 1898 with Spain, wa^s fought over again here today as delegates to the 28th anatlonal encampment of the l.'nlted Spanish War Veterans took the city by storm, to hold It until adjourn­ment next Thursday. While the spirit of the reunion was finding formal ora­torical expression at the city coliseum, individual members were reviving many a good fight on street corhera and In hotel lobbies, materially assisted by a score or more of drum and bugle corps that paraded flag-bedecked street*.

A dramatic point In the encampment proceedings came when Governor W. W. Brandon of Alabama, after, telling the veterans that the men who fought In '98 gave flnst proof of a re-unlted na­tion, took the hand of the chairman, Col. L. W. Alnsworth. of Des Moines, Into hla own and said:

"I wish, sir, that the governor of your great commonwealth were here, as he Is not, I want to plaoe m y hand in yours. It l* the hand of th* south In the hand of the middlewest—we feed, and clothe the world."

Governor Hammlll of Iowa, had left the platform for hla offlc« ahortly "be­fore, due to the preas of official busi­ness.

Senor Cayetano de Queaada, coruul attache of the Cuban embassy, repre­senting the Cuban president, brought the delegates to their feet, cheering and applauding, when he told them that the younger generation of Cuba had pro-fund gratitude for the American aid In gaining Cuban Independence.
