The course on "Pupil Self-Govern-ment," to be given at the Adelphi College under the auspices of the Brooklyn Teachers Association, opened this morning. The address was made by -Miss Jane Brownlee, formerly principal of the La Grange Public School at Toledo, O. She gave her audience to understand that there was no greater occupation in life than to know something well and then tell that something to others.

Miss Brownlee believes that a new note in education is being struck. Teachers are beginning to learn that their pupils have souls and when the teacher's own soul awakens the soul of the child will respond. She told of the method worked out In her school in Toledo. She taught the children first of all to be conscious of themselves, that their bodies and minds were their servants and that they themselves were the misters of both. She outlined the plan ol self-governmnt and gave the teachers suggestions as to how to install it in their schools.

The lecture next week will be given by Miss Grace Strachan, who will tell of how the form of self-government has worked out in schools here in the city. There are to be fifteen lectures In the course and those teachers who desire it are to be credited with attendance at the Board of Education. CALLS SWEETHEART FORGER.

His com Dispute Over "The Hen" In Christ Church Sketch Is Crowing.

NO CRUELTY, AFTER ALL. Complaint Was Made to Rector, and He Admits He Had Only Hearsay Evidence. George A. Demlln.a member oftheenter-tainment committee ot the Men's League of Christ Church, refuses to let the controversy end between the rector of the church and the league. There Is now a considerable dispute over the sketch which was to have been put on at an entertainment given at the church Wednesday evening.

Mr. Demlin wrote a skit entitled "A Session of the Darktown Court," which was to have been the second part of the programme, but It was not given, because, It was said, Cauon Chase had "stopped it." Demlin, who lives at 141 Rutledge street, said today that he called on Canon Chase last evening after reading the lat-ter's disclaimer that he had stopped the production and asked him if he knew anything about the sketch personally, or had any facts before him as to a hen, which apparently occupied the limelight in the piece, being tortured by the Men's League. He replied that he only took thu stand he did Canon Chase had telephoned to Dr. George E. Henderson of the committee regarding the matter Wednesday.

night on hearsay. The sketch was read to the rector last night, and he said that he found, nothing objectionable except that a hen was to be placed in a crate, with a cloth over It, according to Mr. Demlin. Later Mr. Demlin went to a of the entertainment committee, whlcli was being held in the chapel.

He was there but a short time when he received a letter addressed to him and "for whatever use he might see fit to make of il," and which read as follows: "Mr. George Demlin has explained to me the uses of the live hen which he proposed to use in his sketch and how he; was to take special pains not to causo the hen any suffering. "I am convinced from what he ways that it was true that eintended to tako such precaution. It was because of my Ignorance of the farce when complaint was made to me that 1 left it to the committee and did not think it best to forbid its performance, but merely to refer the matter to the committee for action. (Signed) "WM.

SHEAFE CHASE." This letter was referred by Mr. Demlin to the commitee and after It was passed upon the following statement was made: "The thought that the second part of the entertainment was in any way in -prop, never entered the minds of tho committee. The question as to Its propri-ty came from the proper authority and received the committee's respectful attention. Not desiring to rely solely on Its own judgment it deemed it best to abandon the second part. "But the committe desires to state emphatically that there was nothing whatever in the farce of an improper nature nor was there any cruelty to animals in volved.

(Signed) "NEWTON" G. CHASE, "Dr. GEORGE IC. HENDERSON, "ARTELL A. AUSTIN, "LOUIS K.

VOGEL, "GEORGE J. DEMLIN." It Is not the intention of the committee, lo let the matter rest where It Is at the present time, but to pass a resolution at Its next meeting asking Canon Chase where he got his information from regarding the nature of the sketch. WALDO IN FLATBUSH. Police Commisisoner Waldo is coming to Brooklyn next Friday evening to visit the Flatbush section and to deliver address before the Men's Club of All Souls Church, at Ocean and Ditmas avenues. Just now, when there is so much Hon In Brooklyn Commissioner Waldo's visit possesses peculiar interest.

The Commissioner is going to talk on the police situation and an informal heart to heart discussion will follow. Some pertinent questions concerning the nt nll.n (in.l the need of a greater force for Brooklyn will very likely be put to the Commissioner and he wll come prepared. He will drive about the Flatbush section and se for himself how It. is being policed beside tearing at first hand what its needs are. He very rarely makes a speech, but he wants to reach a thorough understanding with the citizens of Brooklyn about police matters, so he has made an exception to the rule.

It is expected that the church hall will be crowded to overflowing with taxpayers and property owners and that the meeting will prove one of the most interesting that has ever been held in that section.

and Off I From Washington Ave. House. FINGERPRINTS ONLY CLEWS. Silverware Bundled Up, but Not Carried Away Safes Looted of Private Papers, The home of Ur. James P.

Warbasse, chief examining surgeon of the Civil Service, at 384 Washington avenue, wag entered by burglars early Thursday morn 1" "1 robbed of rings, a watch, a sticK- pin, stocks, bonds and papers oi a pn-vate nature which are worthless to anyone except Dr. Warbasse himself. The jewelry and the watch which were taken are valued at about Jl.OOn. The stock and bonds are not negotiable. Hundreds of dollars worth of silver had been bundled together, and would have been removed had not the intruders been frightened away by the noise made by someone moving in the rooms above.

With the aid of photographs which the police have of finger marks on the safes and on the envelopes and papers which the burglars disturbed, detectives 'rom headquarters hope to make arrests shortly. The finger prints are the only clews which the police have, so far as can be learned. The WarbasRe home is a three story and basement brown stone structure, spacious and set apart in a large yard, near Gates avenue. On Wednesday night there was a reception at the house, about 100 i.f Mr. Warbasse's friends being present to greet Professor Karl Barnes of Phila delphia, who was the physicians guesi on his visit to Brooklyn to lecture last night at the Brooklyn Institute.

Following the reception the Warbasse family retired about 1 o'clock Thursday morning. Dr. Warbasse's brother, Assistant District Attorney Herbert X. Warbasse, slept on the top floor, and Dr. Warbasse and -his wife and children on the second floor.

Xone of them was disturbed by the burglars, and it was a servant who discovered that there had been a robbery, at 6 o'clock. Mrs. Warbasse had arisen at 5 o'clock to attend her baby, and the police believe she frightened away the burglars. It is not certain how the burglars got in, as all the windows had been locked and there were no Bigns that they had lieen pried open. One window was found open in the morning, but the police think this was left open as a blind.

Dr. Warbasse desk in his study was unlocked. The burglars broke into compartments in the desk, took out the keys to the inside doors of two safes and valuable enough to. others to be stored in safe deposit and that he had the safes to protect these papers from fire, and had given no thought to burglars The Intruders took things from Dr. Warbasse's study and from his secretary's room, and went Into the dining-room, but did not go above the first floor.

In the dining-room they had Dr. Warbasse's leather traveling bag stocked with silverware, but left it behind. Outside in the yard the police found two stockings with Ihe feet snow-crusted, end they believe that the burglars wore stockings over their shoes to avoid making unnecessary noise.
