As the curtain fell with a dull thud the awlft rush of prop boys, carpenters, electricians back and forth across the stage began. Hammering, pounding, grating of wood against wood the acenory collapsed, folded up and moved back against the walls methodically.

As though a miniature earthquake had rocked a painted town, housei and streets were swallowed up and new vistas of gardens, homos and greenery wore belched forth, teetering uncertainly for a moment and then settling Into a semlilanre of concrete order, Intermingling odors of powdor, perfume nnd warm, damp llosh Illled the air.

(Special Gable to AUoona Mirror and Chicago Dally Ncwi.) July children should have a voice In the control and direction of schools, declares a resolution submitted to the world Federation of Education associations by the members of the American delegation. The novel proposal shocked some of the European and oriental educators who are accustomed to dutiful obedience on the part of pupils, bu like other American Ideas It was made the subject of a discussion among the teachers assembled from forty countries. Miss Solma Borchardt, of Washington, vice president of the American Federation of Teachers, dispelled the Illusion that In the United States school attendance Is compulsory for all youth.

Research Into American school legislation proved that seventeen states waive school attendance If the children are Twenty-two do not require education If the child lives too far from school while the.Tennessee law frees children from all necessity of attending -school If the parents claim they arc unable to provide suitable clothing, Miss Borchurdt told the delegates.
