New System Results in Country Schools
CHICAGO.—Garrett Triezenberg, a
sixteen-year-old graduate of the
Evergreen Park school, is a hustling
argument in favor of the back to the
farm movement. In two years, by
doing chores on a farm, selling the
onion crop from one acre, and making
a profit of $30 on a pig which he
raised, Garrett has saved $1,596.
Garrett was one of thirty-nine grad
uates of the new achievement classes
of the Cook county public schools,
who were awarded medals in the of
fices of County Superintendent Ed
ward J. Tobin. All of thean. hoys and
girls, have achieved distinction
through their earning capacity at gar
dening, canning, sewing, music and
baking.
The class was the first to graduate
under Superintendent Tobin’s new
system of combining practical and
theoretical study in the county
schools. The system provides for
seven country life directors, who have
charge of the students the year
around, both at school and at home.
Tillie Guadagni, seventeen years
old and it graduate of the Sticknev
school at State road and Seventy
ninth street, has earned almost as
much as Garrett. She boasts of a sav
ing of $1,200, the result of canning.
She is saving her money for a college
education.
“My father has given me a plot of
ground in exchange for my help on
the farm,” she said. “I help him with
•lie hoeing and planting and weeding,
and in my spare time I take care of
my 25 by 425 feet of tomatoes. In the
winter 1 sew for the family.”
Elizabeth Vanderwall, fifteen years
old. of Blue Island, has no bank ac
count, but she has turned to good ad
vantage what she has learned in the
achievement class.
“Mother was sick last winter,” she
said, “and I was able to take care of
her and the family. I did all the cook
ing. Then I sew all the clothes for
my two sisters^even their winter serge
dresses. I make mother’s house
dresses.”
Will Contains a “Voice From the Tomb ?
PERTH AMBOY, X. J.—The will of
Joseph Kramer of Perth Amboy
will be contested by two members of
his family. The will calls for the di
vision of the greater portion of the
estate, which is said to be large in
realty holdings, between his son, Ar
thur, and another daughter, Esther
Kramer. There are also bequests to
the Perth Amboy City hospital and
the Jewish Memorial building fund.
After directing the division of the es
tate the will reads:
“Expecting my will to be ^read by
my executors before my funeral, it is
my earnest wish that my wife, Min
nie, and daughter, Jennie, do not at
tend my funeral.
“I do give, devise and bequeath to
my wife, Minnie, only the dower inter
est which the law of the state of Xew
Jersey provides I shall give her and
^ she shall not share in any other part
or division of my estate.
“I do hereby give, devise, and be
r~ queath to my daughter, Jennie, the
sum of $12 a month, to be paid to her
from my estate as long as she shall

live. My purpose in devising this
monthly sum is as follows:
“Five dollars a month to remind
her of the time in 1910 when she said
to me, ‘Black pig, don’t sleep with my
mother.’
“Five dollars per month to remind
her of the time in 1918 when she
struck me while I was in the kitchen.
“Two dollars a month to remind her
of the time in 1920 when she said to
me, when I was sick in bed: ‘Don’t
cough so loud, you are making too
much noise. I will have you arrested
for disturbing the neighbors.’ ”

I Skirts Repeat a Plaited Mode
SIDE plaits, knife plaits, box plaits
and, occasionally, accordion plaits
reiterate an appreciation of plaits in
separate skirts that is going to carry
over into the fall season. For already
manufacturers are making capital of
this vogue for plaitings and using it
to enable them to introduce new fea
tures in skirt models. Whether the
fabric be plain or striped or plaid,
sheer of heavy, it brings grist to the
mill of the skirt designer.
In striped materials where a lighfr
and a dark stripe alternate, the light
stripe is turned under either the side
or box plaits and often these plaits
are stitched down to the swell of the
hipline and pressed very thoroughly
below it. A skirt of this kind, when
hanging straight, appears in the dark
color, but moving about glimpses the
lighter color In a very interesting way.
Two very practical plaited models In
wool are among the early showings for
fall and are illustrated here. There
are tailored skirts that will interest
the woman who is looking for practical
clothes that are attractive as well.
The pictures tell so plainly the story
of these new models that nothing need
be written of them. The plaits are
steamed and pressed in the fabrics and
are there to stay. A few bone buttons
embellish the skirt at the left, set
over its side fastening, and a new
feature In the other skirt appears in
three straps with pointed ends fin
ished with machine stitching which
appear at the sides.
