A report from Stockton says: "Pete, Side Streets (By United Press) CLEVELAND, 0. A system of crediting grammar school pupils with units of work instead of the present system of grades is being developed in the. Cleveland elementary schools. Designed to' permit students to advance as rapidly their qualifica tions merit, and to failures, thei systen divides the 19 subjects taught, into work sheets which when solved, entitle the student to a unit.

Thus a normally fifth" grade student would have to his credit 1G73 units of work. Subtractions would not be made for failures but would group the student into one of three classifications. "Work sheets are prepared for three classes of students in each grade," explained H. M. Buckley, assistant superintendent in charge of elementary schools.

"The pupil is the highly inquisitive child who learns rapidly and wants more detailed information about the subject. "Then there is the pupil who learns less rapidly and who does not require quite so much detail. "The third group is the classification who grasp quite slowly and whose inquisitiveness is satisfied with a minimum of detail." Students would be a iven work sheets and ten days or two weeks in which to complete them, whereupon they would be granted a credit and a new work sheet furnished them. The system has 'been installed in the citys nine curriculum centers and is gradually being extended to other elementary schools.

"It's not a new idea," said Miss Winifred Chamberlain, one of its most ardent advocates, "but it really never has been developed. Very few of us know how to relax, and it's hard to learn. We are hoping that by teaching it to children, it will eventually become a natural and valuabe asset. All children, or most of them, know how to play, many can settle down to intensive study, but very few know how to relax, in mind and body." In Miss.

Women Like Men" is! based on the experi ences in the ambulance corps of nine girls! How different from other war pictures; none of the frenzied cursing of soldiers near death; in stead, clever repartee and dialogue.

Here are the "nine' girls: EVELYN BRENT the lead: A who knows 'what she wants in life and goes after it. LILLYAN TASHMAN the vamp: Three divorced husbands at home.

"How I'm going to handle so much temperament, I don't know," Beau dine laughed. "I am hanging up a big whip on the set and the first one of those girls who needs it is going to get it." He said that not a male face will be seen in "Women Like Men." Yet there will be romance: The men the girls left back home; marching feet belonging to soldiers; hands reaching across No Man's Land. "I think we are going to have a great picture," Beaudine said. "The public likes the unusual. The pictures made with no women in the cast have been successful.

The final scene culminates in a break between Randall and the Gazette's owner after Randall and her husband have prevented Jenny from killing the owner. The acting is uniformly excellent. Arthur Byron is starred in the role of Randall and does some of his finest work, but the outstanding contribution is that of Malcolm Duncan as Michael Townsend. Merle Maddern as Mrs.

Townsend and Frances Fuller as Jenny are commendable. The production itself is something worth comment.
