BRITISH DENOMINATIONAL SCHOOLS BELOW STANDARD Equipment, Curricula Fall Short Sectarian Leader* Permitted to Hire Teacher* That Be lieve Earth Flat, for 12.000 Institution*. Government Shuns Issue By H. G. WELLS. Author of “The Outline of History." London, June 28.—One of the numerous questions which the British labor government has to avoid in its official egg dance Is the question of the denominational school. Many of the denominational schools of England are in an ad vanced state of decay. Most of them fall short of modern educational re quirements. The labor party made the amplest promises of educational f progress in the electoral campaign (that led It to office. But the present voting system, which gives the power of political decision to well-organized minorities, puts the labor party at the mercy of the denominational vote in a number of constituencies. These communities are particularly hostile to educational development, so nothing is done. The decay of these schools proceeds. The compromise tinder which these denominational schools exists was made in 1902. It was a characteristic British patch up; one of the most ac tive figures in the making of it was Lord Cecil. Under it. schools of vari ous religious denominations were in corporated in national education scheme; a common public was to pay the running expenses of the school and control the general instruction. Teachers to “Match.” The managers appointed by the re ligious body concerned were, how ever. to appoint all teachers and con trol religious instruction. In return for these privileges they were to pro vide school buildings, and keep them in good repair. If. for instance, a particular school belonged to the Mumbo Jumbo sect which believes the earth was created flat and has never been more than slightly bent since, or that it Is ■wrong to regard bread as nutritious and improper for men and women to speak together in public places, then the managers wers empowered to discover and appoint teachers of geography, physiology and social his tory whose teachings would not dis turb the children in their peculiar beliefs and practices over the heads of the more efficient, less orthodox candidates. The "Mumbo Jumbo” atmosphere I would be created within the school, sexes would be segregated, bread would never be mentioned, terrestrial and celestial globes or maps of the world in hemispheres, busts or por traits of Columbus, Magellan and the like, would be excluded In return for these religious privilege? the sect of Mumbo Jumboites was to par for the upkeep of the schools, keep (them up to date In their appointments. Buildings, Curricula Decayed. Now it is a meloncholy fact that parents belonging to the various British religious bodies concerned have shown themselves Indisposed to make any effort to pay even honest ly, far less generously, for the spirit I ual advantages secured to them. Recent inquiry has directed atten tion to the alarming state of affairs In these schools, of which there are about 12,000 in England and IVales, claiming to educate a million and a third children. A targe porportlon of them, we dis cover, have become badly decayed. They are described as "111 ventilated, ill lighted, with insufficient or worn out sanitary cloakrooms and lavatory accommodation.” A number of schools. T quote the Leslie report, are noted as having been condemned by the hoard of edu cation before the war. blit as being still in full ue». Complaints are made that boards of inspectors have cessed to mention the condition of these schools in their reports, presumably on Instructions from headquarters in ths supposed interest of economy. “Action would have to be taken with regard to playgrounds and sani tary arrangements, eays one author ity, “had there been any prospect of requirements being carried out." Many others say ths asms in differ ent words. In one case there has been a sink age of ground resulting in a break age of drain pipes with the result that the aoll is hetng polluted; but the managers will do nothing. In another case an authority says that “both tecahers and children are suf fering physically and educationally, hut the only possible elternatlve would he new buildings. The man ngers have no funds. “A general complaint is made as to the condition of playgrounds, usual ly as being far too amall and inron venient to begin with and many either untisabla or dangerous for want of repair. One of the counties replying says that out of 181 play grounds ettached to Its voluntary achools, per cent are In bad eon Sitlon" Denominations Indifferent tonough has been cited to show the problem which, sooner or later, will have to be faced hy the British peo ple. The fact Is now beyond dispute that surh denomination! as main tain these spiritually earmarked schools are far too indifferent to the bi alth or education of their children to ket p ilielr buildings In a good go ing suite. II would seem ns (hough they c-ired less about having a school than about preventing the invasion of Ilielr lives by an open, vigorous, cf /blent school. They hate clean, Impartial educa tion far more than thn.v care for one upon their own lines. They sre anti educational far more than they are religious.

Parts, June 28.—A rase of double life more remarkable even than that of "Doctor .lekyll and Mr. Hyde." than that of Balzac's famous character Castanler, the Nuelngen bank cash ier, has been discovered In Paris with the surrender to the police of Louis Picard, for 20 years cashier of the Opera Comlque. During five years Picard absconded more than half a million francs with out ever a shadow of suspicion rest Ing on him. To the management of the Opera Comlque he was the very personification of honesty. Never a fault was found with his hooks. To his middle-aged and faithful wife he was, so she believed, a faithful husband, whom she dreamed of one day seeing chairman of the directing board of the opera. To his hundreds of friends and ac qualntances be was a thrifty, abstemi ous non-smoker who never missed a day at his desk and whose life seemed wrapped up In his work. Every morning at 9 a. m. he ar rived at his office Every noontime, from 12 until 2, he lunched at a lttfle cafe opposite the opera, afterward taking his coffee on the terrace of a cafe on the boulevards. Thought Model Husband. Every night at * he took off his al paca working coat, donnad hlg rusty, old frock coat and derby hat and took the subway home to hla modest flat on tha fourth floor (no elevator, no central heating, no baths) of an an cient building In the poorer quarter surrounding the Bastille. In all those five years he was never seen by his wife, friends or associate* to spend an unnecessary sou. Never did hla demeanor reveal the slightest hint of dissipation, of sleepless nights Even the unerring sagacity of a wife failed to detect any evidence that she was being betrayed. And then the amazing, the unh» lleveable thing, happened. Picard walked Into the police sis ' tlon of the opera quarter and an nounced calmly that he had come to be arrested. "I am an unfaithful servant." he said. "In five years I have stolen 594,500 francs. Ton can verify If by these Indications which I give you as a key to my books." Thereafter he was mute No1 amount of questioning rould make him amplify his confession. What had h" done with the moneV j Picard wouldn't tell. Detectives obtained the sddre** of his flat, thinking that there they [ would find the key of the puzzle R,jt ! to their astonishment they found a Dst devoid of even the ordinary com fort Picard's legitimate salary would have justified. Wife Flees to Mother, Pickard's wifa had fled from the soorn of her neighbors to her mother's I home In the country. The lanltor questioned, said that the Pirat'd* had lived a model life "Extravagant'.*” repeated the jani tor, as if astounded. Why, the Pi card* were the innst close-fisted ten ants in this whole building. There were nights when from very economy they would dine on potatoes alone." The det< dives seemed up against a blank wall. “What he ha* done," they finally decided, "is to steal this money and put It in some safe place. Then, when he has served his prison sen tence he will come out and will a rich man.” But then somethin? else happened A charming and beautiful woman In her late *"« walked to the Hante pris son. which Is the French Tombs, and to which Picard had been sent. "You have a man here called PI card'1 Yes" I have read of him— I would like to see him. Picard was pointed out and imme diately the young- woman gave a cry: "It Is he. Ah, Jules!” ■ Jules"” queried the Jailor. "Hls name is not Jules—it is Louis.” For m» he is Jules,” retorted the woman 1 Jule« Lemoiner—my lover, the man with whom I have lived five year*!'' She was taken before the examin ing magistrate "You have lived with him five year?” queried this functionary, as tonishPd. But it is not possible! He has lived a most exemplary life with his wife all ihe time.” "Ask him!” retorted the woman, de fiantly. Picard was brought in. When he saw the woman he started violently, reddened and then confessed. Story Is Amazing. And the story h• told was one of the most extraordinary in the annals of F-eni-h Justice. Every item of it has been corroborated since. Every night In the week, it ap peered. Picard went home to his wife But three nights of the week, plead ing late duties k»ping him sfter sub wav hours, he returned to town, tell ing his wife that to save the expense of a taxicab—considerable to people of rlieir means—he would aleep In a little hotel near the opera which gave him a special rate. It never occurred to his wife, faith ful companion of -*2 years, to doubt her husband. But tf she had cared ro nvestieate >he would have found that, in very truth, her husband re tamed a room at the hotel in question rice a week. And, for *11 th» hotel people knew or could tell, he slept there. But he did not P - ard would merely visit the hotel, obtain hi* key and then immediately go out again, explaining that he would return after the opera had finished.

History, long scandalized, peeping from the muatv tomes of several ven erable books in the Library of Con gress here, now romes boldly to the front with the proof that It was not Paul Revere who rode on that memor able night of April 19, 1775, from Boa. ton through Medford, Cambridge and 1-exlngton to Concord, hut that It was William Dawea, "The Patriot," of Ann street, Boston, great great grandfather of Gen. Charles G. Dawes, reptihliran vice presidential nominee, author of the Dawea reparations report, chief purchasing agent of the A F F ill rector of the budget and Chicago banker. Longfellow Did It.

Paul Ravera rede, and ha also superintended putting up tha algnal lanterns in Old North Church: hut. after Joining Dawes near Medford and riding together with him to Lexing ton, ha waa captured by British offl oara Just outside the town and never got to Coneord.

The story, In brief, as told by Hoi 1 la nd, Is as follow s The plot orlglnalh was engineered by Dr. Charles Warren, who took up on hlmeelf the duly of keeping the patriots and the Minute Men outside i of Boston Informed of the movements of British troops In the elly and of vessels In the harbor. He heard that an attack was to be made on the 20th of April. At the same tittle a groom In tho Milk elroot stable, one John Mallard, also heard of It. He ran with llte news to a friend of Liberty, title William Dawee, of Ann street,' wlm carried tile news to Paul llevete. Warren and Revere then planned to have the algnal lanterns pie red In the church towci two lanterns If the British moved by water, one If they moved he land. It was planned lit send out both Daw tvs and Ilex ere on horseback to carry the news through Medford, Cambridge. I.exlng ton and Concord and to ip;* is# Han cock and Adams of events, Dawes was sent otjt *t onto over ihe land rout#, tha longer way, ovar I the Neck end arms# 'he Charles river, at Brighton Bridge, to Cam bridge md Lexington Directly af'er he had left Warren sent for Revere, who had been visiting his sweetheart outside the city. He was sent, hy the water route, through Charlestown to I^exlngton also to arouse the country and especially Hancock and Adame. Revere arranged with a friend to have the signal lanterns exposed. He borrowed linen from hts sweetheart to muffle his oars and crossed the river safely right under the bows of the British warship Somerset. Meeting friend* on the Charlestown side, he secured a horse and rode for Lexing ton by the Cambridge road. At Med ford he met a British patrol and had to detour, but aroused Hancock and Adams at the home of Pareon Clark, near Medford, after calling out the Minute Men of Medford. In half an hour Dawes who had ridden the longer land mute, rousing th# clttrenry a* he went. Joined Re vere, and thev rode on through Lex ington for Concord, accompanied hv a young Dr. Prescott. Half way to ward Hartwell * tavern they met up With British officers again and Dawes j dashed up to an empty farmhouse and shouted: pooled British. “Halloo, boya. I've got two of them!" This rua# scared th* British and they fled. Dawes arrived in Concord with the newt at 2 o'clock In th* morning, hut Paul Revere was not so fortunate. Separated from Dawes by the forks of a road, he ran Into another party of British officers, who arrested him and took hltn hack to Irfxington. He later escaped, hut hed no horse and had to hide the rest of the night in Parson Clark's hone*. The Dawes family was well known in Revolutionary history. The nrigl nal W illiam Dawes came to America in 1515 from Knglatid. where one of his relatives. Sir William Dawes, had Veen archbishop of Canterhurt. He settled first at Braintree and lated moved to Roston, where the old [ Dawes house, on Sudbury street, re- j mained in possession of the family for tire generations until 1 775. when it was pulled down by the British dur ing their occupation of the city. In Business With Cnnlldge. It wan after the war that William Dawes, the hero of the midnight ride went Into pailnershlp with Mr. Cool Idgc, ancestor of Calvin Ooolldge, in ifcn grocery business at Worcester, Mass under the Mini name of 'Dnwca A Coolidge,' s reversal of the present republican partnership cf the dcaccmtaiii* of Hie iwo Revolutionary ohararter*, Now, instead of 'lAawos A Coolidge,'* it is “Coolidge and Dawes.''

An hour later he would descend from his room clad in full evening dress, a carnation In his buttonhole, a shlnv silk hat on his head, an opera rloak flung care lessly over his arm, a gold-headed walking stick carried in one hand, and his feet sheathed in lmpeerahle patent leather. His hair would shine with hrilliantine and his silky beard would he carefully combed. Such Actions Common. The people at the hotel were used to this amazing transformation of a middle-aged rlei k into an opulent rounder. They thought he was a cun ning fellow, this Monsieur Depuy. They probably guessed that he was married, and that these mysterious proceedings were unknown to his wife. But in France such things are not a topic for scornful and scandal ous comment, but for whimsical laughter. It never occurred to them to drop a hint to the police. "Monsieur Depuy” would drive away from the little hotel In an ex pensive limousine, hired for the night His next stop was an ornate apart r-ent house in the aristocratic region bordering the Rni« do Boulogne Here on the third floor. Picard has his ether home-a fla' of 14 rooms. this time equipped with centra) heating with baths and with every conven ience that the dingy fat he compelled his wife to live in, larked. Here were rich furniture, expensive paintings, oriental hangings. On the table in *he salon was an invariable box of the choicest cigars. Onre )n a while, of dreamy mood, Picard would sit down and run off a bar or so of "Louise” or "Carmen.” two favorites of the Opera Comique, on the mahogany grand piano. Denouncer Lived Here. In this flat lived, of course, the woman who had denounced him to the police. Bhc had met him, she explained, during a promenade in the Bois—his first nocturnal stroll In his "glad rags She had been impressed by Ms distinguished appearance and his courtlv hearing Wh»n, davs lat er, he had suggested that, although the exigencies of his many affairs prevented him from h»ing with her for four nights of th» week, they make a common home together, she assented, secretly congratulating her self on having hooked a millionaire. Always the rent was paid regularly. Picard lavished jewelry on his mis tress-jewelry that possibly his wife had searrflv dared even gaze at In the shop windows of the Rue de la Paix. Picard became a habitue of the chic dancing parties that abound in the Etoile quarter. He was known as a roval spender and ss a ‘man who knows a good bottle.” Sometimes even he would encoun ter directors or stars of the Opera Comtque in the smart places he fre quented with the woman. But never did they recognize In the dapper, well dressed man of the world the shabby, hard-working little cashier of the opera! Rose at 7 \lwaye. Ton would think that some time in all those five years desire would have conquered, Picard s extraordinary will power- -that h* would one mornir* have vtelded to the pleasure of re maining just a little longer in the presence of his beloved , But so—never once did h* slip At In the morning he unhe«!te- ngly jrose took l»ave of his sweetheart and Ms limousine to the little hotel There he would emerge, a few minutes la'er. again th» dustv and faithful clerk And a' the little hotel where his wife believed him to have spent th» nigh*. h» would mount to his room arrange the bed so that It looked ss he had slept in it, and then descend to the theater. Three times s week for five years Picard did this. Net once in that time was suspicion directed against him. He might, the police declare have continued his amazing deception for many years more. But— **I couldn't keep It up'” Picard moaned, following his confession. "I couldn't keep it up:” Why couldn't he keep It up? Did conscience conquer? Was it s phvsi ral Inability to stand the pace?
