SOMETHING NEW
IN EDUCATION
The Platoon System to Be Adopted in
Perquimans County.
Hertford, X. 0., Sept. 10.— (AI»)
—Something new in education is to
be in Perquimans county. It is new,
at least, no far an Northeastern
North Carolina in concerned.
It is known as the platoon system,
and is designed to make it possible
for a school to accomodate 25 per
cent more pupils than are now taken
care of, under the present syntem.
In addition, it makes it possible to
add to the curriculum music, art, phy
sical education, and many branches
of vocational education. All this is
said to be without additional cost,
except for the initial outlay for
■equipment.
Edgar Bundy, recently elected sup
erintendent. of schools, in making
plan- for introduction of the system,
which he hopes to. have in actual
force by next year. Mr. Bundy comes
to this county from Wilmington,
where he has been engaged in school
work.
The platoon system is described
as an arrangement whereby the el
ementary school makes the fullest
auditorium instead of being utilized
only fur perfunctory opening exer
ciser and occasional special events,
i.s occpied throughout the school day.
A physical instructor is busy all day
long, either on the playground or in
the gymnasium. The children are di
vided into platoons and move from
room to room as their study hours
change.
Under this system, the child, in
addition to the three r’s, is given
instruction in carpentry, mechanics,
printing, and the fundamentals of elec
trical egineering, as well as a variety
of other practical subjects.

SERVANTS’ SCHOOL BACKED
BY CHICAGO SOCIETY WOMEN
Will Teach Pupils Proper Technique
to Use in Answering Door Bell and
Other Duties.
Chicago, Sept. 10.—Society women,
weary of employing maids who think a
canteloupe or an avocado pear should
be' fried, are backing a school, the
only one of its kind in the United
States, which will open October 15th,
with a course running three montrs.
There is no matriculation or other
fees. Classes will be held in a model
residence and the student maids will
take turns at being “Mistress.” The
course includes instruction on how
properly to answer the doorbell, how
to use the telephone, or waiting on
table and making up bedrooms.
'Fne school is open to any girl of
good character and is calculated to
wave employers, the time, worry and
expense of teaching their own maids.
Skilled cooks and maids long in serv
ice will be employed as instructors
and the largest class will assemble
on Thursday, generally accepted as
the maids’ “day off.’’ Just how em
ployers will prevail upon the maids to
attend school instead of going to the
movies with their “regulars” is a
problem yet to be solved.

en route to Washington. Sept. 10. —
UP) —Well rested by bis eleven weeks’
stay at Swampscott, President Cool
idge was traveling back to Washing

tasks of his office immediately. The
train is due in the capital late today,
and tomorrow the President will open
his office with a cabinet meeting.
While no special problem caused

anxious to take up several matters
personally with his advisers.
He wants the government prepare
ed to distribute coal if the suspension
of activities in the anthracite field

pointment of an ambassador to Tokyo
to succeed the late Edgar Bancroft.
Mr. Coolidge is going to follow
through with Director Lord of the

budget estimate, a tentative schedule
of which already has been approved by
him. These and other questions deal

MAY ASK 20 PER CENT.
CUT IN SURTAX RATE
This Has About Been Decided Upon
For Treasury" Tax Reocmmemtui
tions.
Washington, Sept. 10.i — (A 3 )—The
Treasury’s tax recommendations to
Congress are now expected to in
clude a reduction in the surtax rates
to a maximum of 20 per cent, repeal
of the income tax publicity section,
and a lowering if not an entire elimi
nation of the tax on estates.
Other minor changes will lie sug
gested, largely to close up loopholes
in the present law.
Secretary Mellon, who returned to
day from a vacation, declined to say
how active a part the Treasury would
take in urging its recommendations on
the House Avays and means commit
tee when it meets next month. He
previously had indicated he would
make no formal proposal that could be
labelled a “Mellon plan” and might
only advance A r erbal suggestions in re
sponse to such questions as the com
mittee might ask. “The Treasury
holds to its often expressed belief
that a majority of the tax payers fav
or repeal of the publicity section. Offi
ficials say masses of letters of pro
test have come in since September 1,
Avhen this year’s returns Avere ob
