Board of Education Swats Prof. Wiliam Wirt's Enemy. NEW TORK. July 30. A letter from W. G. Willcox of the Board of Education to M H. Maxwell, superintendent of schools, regarding the Oary plan, was made public recently. The venerable city superintendent, who has been rmich of the time in a sanitarium or at health resorts on account of a stroke, has been opposed to the Gary schools from the beginning. He got Into the present controversy on his own account, his friends say, and has no connection with the political scheme of the "old guard" in the school board, allied with Tammany Hall, to "Garyize' the coming campaign. Alterations to Cost $7,000,000. The Board of Education already has committed the public treasury to more than $7,000,000 of expenditures in building or altering schools for duplicate sessions, and the next hoard, if it continues in the same policy, will have the spending of more than $30,000,000 on that kind of schools. Mr. Willcox rebukes Supt. Maxwell for a communication attacking the Gary plan, and adds: "It is neither fitting nor seemly that you, a subordinate of the Board of Education, should address such a letter to its President." Here are the superintendent's charges: "There are three localities in the Bronx so urgently. In need of new elementary school accommodations that no amount of 'Garyizing' or 'duplicating' existing schools will satisfy the demands of the people." "School No. 54 in Brooklyn Is an old bui'-ding which should be replaced by a new building on a neighboring site purchased for that purpose." "School No. 140, Brooklyn, Is, a comparatively modern and well equipped and rot overcrowded building, and to spend money to 'Garyire' that school is to divert funds that might be more profitably employed." "The high schools are In urgent need of additional accommodation. President Willcox's answer Is that Red Cross Today Issues Urgent Call From Washington. (Special to The Times.) WASHINGTON, P. C July 30 Twenty experienced motor truck drivers, twenty helpers and ten expert mechanics are needed at once by the American Red Cross for service in France, according to a cabled request Just received by the Red Cross War Council from Major Grayson M. P. Murphy In charge of tho Red Cross mission to France. The mechanical squad will Include master carpenters, body builders, painters, machinists and electricians two each. The trucks for which drivers are sought are of two-ton capacity and will be used in the rapid transfer of Red Cross supplies from seaports to their destinations, a service made necessary by the congested condition of the, railroads in France. Volunteers beyond military age have been asked for this service by the American Red Cross to work without compensation and Red Cross officials are hopeful that employers of motor drivers and the other expert help required wpl contribute the services of the men, paying their salaries while in Red Cross service. The Red Cross will ray the transportation and living expenses of the men while abroad. It Is the Intention when the men are recruited to give them intensive mechanical training, some drill and if possible some preliminary instruction in the French language. This contribution to the American Red Cross by employers of skilled labor would be similar to the contributions of large organisations to the Red Cross staff at headquarters which includes nearly seventy-five volunteers, many of whom are paid by outside organizations while working for the Red Cross. Offers of assistance along the line of these Red Cross needs should be made to A. W. Staub. director of the Atlantic Division of the American Red Cross, Metropolitan Tower, New York City, or to the nearest Red Cross chapter. NEW MARRIAGE LICENSES GRANTED (Special tq The Times.)

ATTACKING GARY PL!

I provision has been made for two new buildings in the Bronx; that a new school. No. 54, is to be built: thnf a school nearby. No. 140, has 1.000 children on double sessions, and that 1.K00.000 has been appropriated for high school accommodations. He denies that the Board of Superintendents is opposed to Gary schools. City's Bad Spellers. According to Mr. Willcox. the Washington Irving high school has "made good" under the Gary plan and no longer deserves Superintendent Maxwell's condemnation of it as "a tragedy." Mr. Wil'.cox add.?: "f fully Fhare your solictrude for proficiency In reading, writing, arithmetic and kindred branches. I am mortified to find how much basis there is for the widespread criticism of tho results achieved by the traditional schools in these directions. "I have Just received a letter from the vice president of an important industrial corporation who states that "there were received in the accounting department of this company during the six months ended June 20. this year, 193 applications from public school graduates. Of this number 95 were rejected, principally because of poor penmanship and inability to perform simple arithmetical problems." I have also received from one of the leading banks of the city the following report of a spelling test . given a first-year high school boy who applied for a position in that bank: Gary Spelling O. K. "Releave, decieve, belelve. sive, inflrmation, retribution, consternation.' "'Now is a rrofishoiis time for you to consurve your resosous." " Such showings as those, Mr. Willcox tells Mr. Maxwell, are responsib' - for the recent report of a Chamber of Commerce committee condemning the school system. He accuses the Superintendent of "very imperfect knowledge" on the Gary plan's results, says he doubts the .Superintendent has visited such a school since he got hack from his sick leave, denies the board has directed the Superintendent to investigate these schools, and demands loyal co-operation from the Superintendent and all other employes In carrying out the duplicate sessions plans. CMOS SET COLLEGE HEAD Dr. Wm. L. Bryan of I. U. Meets Friends From Region Cities Here. "Keep the colleges going." is the keynote of the president o Indiana university tour over the state. Dr. William L. Bryon in behalf of the colleges la meeting the people and explaining the urgent need of the educated man and woman In the present crisis. H-j visited Hammond Saturday afternoon, greeting Alumni and friends of the college from Whiting, Gary and East Chicago. "Don't throw away educational ad-anttg-s. This war is a scientific one. It needs men and women with ability. Ey no r eam should the high school graduate stop his educational career. The graduate needs college training now mere than ever bfore. President Wilson agrees with college professors over the county on this question," excerpts from an interview with the president at Mee hotel by a Times representative. Dr. Bryan said he did not believe that the freshman classes of the colleges would suffer. "It will probably be the upper classes that will bear the brunt of the falling off in attendance." WORD TO ALL HEALTH OFFICIALS Letter Instructs Them to Enforce New Law. The state board of health today sent to health officials throughout the state a letter ordering tbem immediately to begin the enforcemen". of the law of the 1917 legislature which provides for a more adequate registration of cases of tuberculosis in Indiana.

Prizes 'were awarded yesterday in various contests that have been In progress during the past several days, a resolution condemning "profiteering" in the sale of foodstuffs was passed, and some minor changes in the laws of the order were enacted. Among the latter, probably the most important was the vote of the delegates and past dictators to the effect that hereafter subordinate lodges shall be prohibited from giving physicians' services to their members except in cases where the annual lodge dues per member amount to at least $12, and then only when the lodge is authorized by the supreme dictator to supply such services. This enactment, it is said, will not affect some of the older lodges of the order. It was rumored and not denied by officials of the order that this step was taken to counteract the tendency of a small number of physicians in certain localities to "squeeze" subordinate lodges by charging them excessive rates for services rendered.

Are You the Man Who "Wouldn't Have a Player Piano in His House?" IF so, you are just the sort of person whom we want to meet. For the more keenly you feel the limitations of the piano "player," the easier it will be to interest you in the Ampico Reproducing Piano. The Ampico is not a "player piano" although it can be used as one. It is a new invention of infinitely greater artistic possibilities. It reproduces not merely the notes of a musical composition, but the way a distinguished concert artist plays those notes. ... Public "comparison concerts" with some of the greatest living pianists, have proved that the Ampico's reproduction is the artist as clearly, as recognizably as if he himself were seated at the piano. We invite you to hear the Ampico. at your convenience, in our warerooms. The Ampico may be had in the famous Marshall & Wendell piano at prices from $750 upward.
