PRINCETON MAN
HITS AT SCHOOLS
Baltimore, Nov. 13. The Americas
school system was severely criticised
by Prof. Royal Meeker of Princeton
university In an address before the
American Prison association. Profes
sor Meeker's subject was "The Con
nection of Our School System and Our
Prison System." He tried to show
how the population of the prisons
could be reduced by reforms that be
gan In the schools. !
WhlRS- !i acknowledged,, that, our
schools pay, he declared hthey
should pay better. "But," he Said. "1
think it probable that we could get
a!l the good results achieved by our
schools for less than one-half what we
now pay.
"I think," continued Professor Meek
er, "the supposed influence of our
schools upon our morals is greatly
misunderstood and somewhat exagger
ated. Ignorance Is commonly used
synonymously with Immorality, vice
and crime. Some of the 18th century
writers thought that man could be re
deemed from sin and crime by the A.
B. C's and the multiplication table.
We now recognize that mere Informa
tion has little to do with right con
duct. Those familiar facts of our
childhood, 'The bug Is in the rug,' and
'Seven times nine is 53 or 67,' what
eve rlt may be, do not incite to deeds
of high moral emprise. I doubt the
efficacy of those 'excessively moral
yarns contained in the school readers
about George Washington and the
cherry tree, and the bad little boy
who sto'.e apples from the old apple
woman and, years afterward, died a
miserable death in the workhouse as a
result. It may be that the ability to
read does make some individuals
more virtuous.. I am 6ure it makes
some more frivolous, more worthless,
more wicked by enabling them to feed
upon trashy reading matter. Neverthe
less, our schools do promote morality
much more than immorality.
"The greatest value of the public
school consists in its democratizing in
fluence. They give us a common me
dium of intellectual exchange the
Knglish language. Without a com
mon spoken and written language,
union and democracy would be im
possible. Of course, we are less sav
age, more sympathetic, more truthful,
more honest because we have a com
mon "literature, a common morality.

probably be impossible to eradicate
these evil influences without eradicat -
ing the public school, ir we bad no
schools, plainly the schools could not
be blamed for these evils. It is often
charged that the public schools spread
contagious diseases and immorality.
Would these evils cease if the public
schools were abolished? Certainly
not! They would be disseminated
from other centers. The schools did
not invent immorality and personal
uncleanness. They found these evils
existing within the community. The
worst that can be said of the schools
is, that they have been unable
! eradicate these evils. Who can doubt
that our schools have lessened them?
iWe ought to be careful in criticizing

CHICAGO POLICE
TO WARON GANGS
Chicago, Nov. 13. A war of exter
mination on street gangs, composed
of hoodlums, toughs and ruffians,
which terrorize different parts of the
city, was ordered yesterday by Chief
of Police John McWeeny as a se
quence of the murder of Policeman
Charles Jones of the Rawson Street
station by gangsters last Sunday.
The work of wiping out the lawless
bands was begun in that district of
the northwest side in the vicinity of
Girard street and Bloomingdale road
and Blackhawk and Noble streets,
where the gang whose members killed
Policeman Jones were accustomed to
gather.
Twelve men and boys, declared to
have been among the crew of thugs
which Jones and Policeman Charles
Gierman were attempting to disperse
when the former was shot, were un
der arrest last night at the Rawson
street station. Other members of
the gang, It was believed by Lieuten
ant Thomas Duffy, would be caught
within a few hours.
The district is notorious for crimes
committed by gangsters. From this
locality came the murderers of Fred
Guelzow, four of whom expiated their
crime on the gallows. It was In the
Bame district, at North Paulina and
I West Ohio street, that Policeman
Thomas Schwelg was shot dead In
July, 1911. Also In the notorious gang
district at West Elm street and Gauit
court Policeman Eric H. Miller was
dangerously wounded by bandits last
January.
W. Lester Bodine, superintendent of
compulsory education, who has spent
years in studying the "gang problem,"
declared yesterday that it has become
one of the most serious menaces to
law and order the city has to deal
with.
"Contempt for law, drunkenness,
vice, insults to women there are the
characteristics of the gang," said Mr.
Bodine. Of all the downward influ
ences that lead young men and boys
tc become criminals, I believe that the
gang easily overshadows all others.
If the life histories of the young men
from 18 to 25, who crowd our jails,
are examined it will be found that
running with the gang constituted the
greatest destructive agency.
"I have catalogued the gangs Into
different groups. The group from 18
to 20 leads astray the group from
16 to 18, and the latter, taking the
j boy from 14 to 15, transform them
into hoodlums and roughs. i
"The enforcement of the compul- i
sory education law has wiped out j
many gangs of boys from 14 to 16
years, and it is up to the police to
break up bands of older men. The
gangs of men and boys are permitted
to loiter at street corners and In
front of nickel theatres. Such gangs,
if for no other reason than that they
are a menace to young girls, should
be made to move on.
"The police should use moral sua -
tojsion first, and then their clubs. It
is to be hoped that the municipal
court judges will co-operate with the!
police in breaking up these gangs
by imposing stiff penalties whenever
the evidence warrants on all gang -
sters arrested for vagrancy.

SPAIN MOURNING
PREMIER'S DEATH
Madrid, Nov. 13. The body of as
sassinated Premier Canalejas lay in
state today in a temporary chapel in
the chamber of deputies. A vast
crowd gathered to pay last respects.
The population of the capital appears
deeply impressed by the crime. Work
Is almost entirely suspended and
nearly every business house is closed,
while most t the houses in tha.resl
dentlal section are draped in mourn
ing. The assassin, Manuel Pardlnas,
who failed in his attempt at suicide,
is a man of distinguished appearance.
When arrested he had several manu
scripts. One, In cipher, had Inscribed
cn the outer sheet "International con
flagration." Another was a thesis on
the "anatomy of the human stomach."
Pardlnas was expelled from Buenos
Aires last March on account of parti
cipation In anarchistic agitations. He
traveled in various cities in Europe.
As he left Paris for Madrid, the police
in Paris notified the Madrid author
ities and also told of an article he had
written against King Alfonso, for an
anarchist paper In Paris. The Madrid
police, however, didn't know of Par-
dinas' arrived in the Spanish capital.
trlcts should be treated the same as
the gangs in the poorer sections of
the city.
"The social centers in the small
parks and schoolhouses have helped
to combat the gang evil. What many
of these young men need is proper
social recreation."
Chief of Police McWeeny said
"It will be necessary for the courts
and prosecutors to co-operate with
the police in breaking up the street
gangs of toughs and hoodlums. Time
and again these rowdies have been
arrested and let go or given trivial
punishment. The police will do their
part."
Frank Orman, 1310 Holt street, 22
years old, one of the suspects arrest
ed, admitted that he was one of tha
five men who ran into the shed In the
rear of 1733 Girard street, from which
were fired the five bullets which pierc
ed Jones' body. Orman denied that
he did the shooting, and gave the
police information which may lead to
the detection and arrest of the mur
derer or murderers.
Other men taken In the dragnet of
the district were John Rammel, 1628
North Hermitage avenue; Steve Golin
sky, 1740 North wood street; Wal- Pent riot gave rise to the action. The
ter Gruzalskt, 1938 North Winchester judge took umbrage at this statement:
