[TALY TO FOLLOW | AMERICAN SYSTEM !Public Educational Plans Abroad to Be Changed After the War { New York, Dec. 13.—Changes in the public educational system of Italy, based upon methods in vogue in the | Unitea States, are one of the indirect possibilities’ of the war, according to Countess Maria Loschi, envoy of the Italian government to the United States, who is obtaining data in thi country regarding betterment legisla tion in Italy for women and children. “The 500,000 American soldiers who went overseas in the st contingent I am told, included many boys of G man parentage or extraction. Their splendid lovalty and brilliant fighting was the admiration of all,’” the countess, *“Only the principles of democracy taught in the public schools of America could have brought it about and that is why I believe Italy will adopt the American educa- tional idea. “Teachers in Ttaly are poorly paid and overworked. It is one of the aims of the suffragists of Italy to improve their condition. “The war has given an impetus to education in Italy. Wvery young per- son is more than ever desirous of learning new things. In the hospital 0-34, between Palmanova and Cor- mons, near Gorizia, where I served for a time as a nurse, educated young women taught the illiterate voung sol- diers during their convalescence how to read and write. The government has supplied the nurses with millions of primary school text-books. “The American Red Cross and the Young AMen’s Christian association have done inestimable good in Ttaly. v have dealt bountifully with our impoverished people in giving them food, clothin: and shoes. I am hope- ful they will introduce the idea of the Ame an public playground in Italy, also public booths and dormitories, as you have here. Tt is for improve- ments such as these that the women said ANNOUNCEMENT I have taken over the Agency for the Dodge Bros. Cars For New Britain. Am fully equipped to furnish complete Dodge Service.

Both are suffragists and you may he sure their famous husbands are, too. Next month in Florence will be held the big suffrage conference at which mony wvital reforms will be discussed. “Premier Orlando at one time wa opposed to suffrage, but since the war he is reported to have said: ‘The war has revealed that the women of Ttaly deserve the trust and friendship of man.’ Furthermore, the premier de- clared that ‘the conscience of Italian women is so near to the national con- | science they should have the same po- litical rights as men.’ This is almost a warranty that in future our women will be protected and helped and many bills are being drafted for presenta- tion to the chamber of deputies. “It is a fact that women in all cases are not receiving the same pay as men in munition factories and on farms. We purpose enacting laws that will protect them from exploitation by sel- fish emplovers. “Every Italian loves President Wil- son, We regard him as the greatest statesman in the world. We all hope that, when the war is over, he may be able to come to Europe and re- ceive the homage of millions of grate- ful heants.” 5 Before returning to Ttaly, the countess said she expected to visit and apeak before women's clubs in Wash- ington, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Denver, Pittsburgh, Ban Francisco and other citles. Her itinerary will cover a period of six weeks. GIVEN HOME TOWN War Medals and Club Diploma of Famous Ace Treasured by Wallingford. Wallingford, Dec, 13.—Edward H.
