FERNANDEZ LAYS RELIGIOUS BUGABOO Feature by No Means Essential. She Says. Leaving Matter to Parents' Choice. A frrr dlscutslon of the Gary system proposed for the New York pub!: school? took place last evening at the Hi?,?' High School. Brooklyn. The sentiments of the audience, which WBB composed largely of teachers from the schools, was plainly sgain?t adopting the plan. The speakers were Mr Al.ce Harrows Fernandez. Dr. Will.am A Grady, principal of Public School fit. Manhattan; Mr?. Alice Ritter, prmcip.l of Public School 8f?. Brooklyn, wher?. the Gary plan is being tried, and Dr 'ami's Sulliran. principal of the Ho-, High Behoof. Mrs. August Drover, president of the Long I?land COBBCil o Women's ?'tubs, ?vhich arranged the raeetiag, presided The meeting ?lose?! with a nimber of arguments from member? of the ainlience. The noisy opposition sf the sadisaCS wat son.ewhat quieted by on.? man, who said '.M was neutral on the question of adopting the plan, but con lidsrsd it altogether wrong for an audience which contained so many teachers to exp-ns? its antagonism te an educational measure before it had received a fair and thorough hearing. Walter J. P'irsons, the engineer in charge of the construction of the Hell Gate bridge, who lived for three year? In Gary, Ind., whence the system got its name, spok?? for it. He based his arguments on th' results observed in the education of hit own two children. Ha denied that the parents in Gary arc ; -. .1 to the ? ? A't-.n. Mrs. Fernanden sai.l that neither de? partmental nor religious instruction was necessary in the ?.chools. She thought that ?he parents should choose the meaner in which the children would u?? their playground hour under the system, and tais that she saw no sleepy children In the schools of Gary. Thej were either too interested or too busv. 1'lan a "Panacea." Dr. Grady discussed the defect* of the system and saifi that .t* advocate consider it a panacea for all ills. He referred to a letter from Mayor Mitehel saying that the Mayor ap? proved of the system because the ?ehool buildfaga could be altered is three months to permi'. its adoption and the ?petera pat late effect :. ? i 'i ?>f five month- at a cost of only tOJOOOfiOO, He asserted that the argu menta for the adoption of the system in New York were based on an inade? quate e\perimcnt in tare schools. Re? ferring to the religious side of the qu?'.tion. >ie said: "The minute you connect the school and the Church you stir up the foulest dregs of human nature. The safety of our school system depends on a com? plete divorce between it and the Church." Mrs. Ritter ?aid her school was bet? ter than before the system was trie I there. "Altogether we are doing a good, happy, useful kind ot work." she said, "and I am glad that my tchovl was chosen iih one for the experiment." The Gary plan would have small chance of success. Dr. Sullivan aal I. If the schools hadn't auditoriums, work? shops and playgrounds. He said the plan was aiready in operation on a modified scale in the Boys' High School and had been tried la New York in 1899. Dr. .Sullivan thought Mayor Mitehel favored the plan because of it?) promise of economy.
