CLEARY S DAUGHTER Part- Work-Part-School Plan Solves Problem! SAYSDISOBEDIENCE O* Educational and Wa CAUSED TRAGEDY Declares She Assumes All! Blame for Killing of Boy Husband, | WARNS OTHER GIRLS.) Hopes Shooting Will Be an Example—Made Sacrifice Voluntarily. Mre, Anna Cleary Newman, the young widow who was a central figure in the trial of her father, Willlam V. Cleary, at New City, for the murder of her husband, declared to-day that she considered herself to blame for the whole tragedy, and warned other girls against marrying unworthy men. She ts still highly nervous at her home, No, 610 West One Hundred and Fifty-second Street, and the doctor has prescribed absolute rest for her, but she expects to be all right again in @ few days. It was only six weeks ago that she had said she had a might to choose her own husband and her manner of living, and that “‘chil- dren often can see things far more clearly than the parents and often know what ts best for their own hap- piness.” But to-day she had changed her opinion, although she declared: “I loved my husband with all my heart, and I assume responsibility for ali my acts.” “I hope this may be an example to @ome other poor girl,” she began In a monotone. “At least, then some good will come of it all. I made the mis- take of thinking I knew more than did my parents, but I have been pun- {shed for my mistake. I would like to send a warning to all girls to obey their parents and make confidants of them. “Had I done so this awful thing would have been averted. That was my most terrible mistake. Who knows what good might have come of it if I had but made a confidante of my mother? I might be happily mar- ried now to Gene.” Mrs. Newman then told, at the re- quest of her father, of the large num- ber of letters she had received from girls all over the country, telling of their experiences. All of them, Cleary wald, told of the misery they had en- dured after being married to men not able properly to provide for them. “Gone and I were sweethearts in school,” continued Mrs. Newman “We went to dancing class together in Haverstraw and were very happy in spite of the opposition of my parents. But I guess they knew best, for see what my disobedience has done. I just want to be alone and forget it all. I want to take up my music again. Yes, I took the stand of my own accord. The only thing left for me was to help my father, because he thought he was protecting me when he did this terrible thing. “Long before I loved Gene I felt sorry for him. His father and mother were divorced and he had wo real home. He spent all of his time be- tween their houses, and from sym- pathy my feeling soon turned to love, 1 would give my life to undo it all.” Mrs, Jessie Appleton, mother of the murdered youth, indignantly said in her home at No. 957 St. Nicholas Avenue that the verdict was a traves- ty on justice, “I cannot understand where we are all drifting, when men and women are allowed to commit murder and then go unpunished,” sald Mrs. Ap- pleton. oe WANTS HIS XMAS DINNER | IN PRISON, AS USUAL John Murray, Who Has Eaten Twenty Christmas Dinners Be- hind Bars, Gets His Wish. When John Murray, prematurely gray, stood in the line of the prison- ers before Judge Matone in General Sessions to-day, It was clearly seen he was impatient. “Get me out of this,” he exclaimed to Assistant District Attorney James Smith, “I want to be sent away.” Murray, who gave his age as forty- | five, and said he lived at No, 108 Madison Street, pleaded guilty to an) indictment for grand larceny, charg- | Ang the theft of thirty conts from the evercoat pocket of Edward H, Mason, of No, 287 West One Hundred and| @ixty-second Street, in front of the) Pulitzer Building, Dec. 14, He ad- mitted having served twenty-five of his forty-five years behind prison bars. ‘ | “L have been a crook ever since I can remember," Murray told Mr. Smith. “1 nevor had a home except the inside of a prison.

By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. ‘The solution has been found to the old problem of the boy who needs school while the parents need the boy's wage. Within two months at the Bryant High School in Long Island City | there will be inaugurated a co-operative school-and-shop | system, educational which will accomplish threo definitely excellent things: 1, It will Provide boys and girla with a high school education, 2. It will income. 8, It will a future, x ee) add @ neat little sum to the family give boys and girls a trade with If the plan succeeds it should do away with two of our most inefficient types of young manhood and womanhood. One of these is the drifter, the logical development of the child who took out working papers at fourteen, drifted into the first job that promised a few dollars and ever since has been drifting from one form of casual employment to another. The other and scarcely less incompetent citizen stayed in school long enough to acquire an immense contempt for manual accomplishment, while showing a complete lack of any special mental gifts. What might have been a good plumber or a good cook has become a bad clerk or stenographer. The proposed co-operation between school and shop has been approved by the Board of Education and ‘s heartily supported by Dr. Peter B. Demarest, Principal of the Bryant High School. For years Dr. Demarest has been working to develo» education along practical lines. His is said to be the only high school in the city where three essentially practical courses, be- sides the regular academic course, are offered under the same roof. There is the girls’ technical course, which includes cooking, millinery and dressmaking; there is the clerical course, with bookkeeping, stenog- raphy, typewriting and general office work, and there is the manual train- ing course for boys, A blacksmith shop, a wireless tc'ography roc a machine shop, a plumbing shop, are a few of the “classrooms” for students of this course, “Despite hard times, I don't know one of our graduates who is out of a job," said Dr. Demarest, with justin- able pride, A MATTER OF TEAM WORK, HALF BOOKS, HALF TOOLS. “But just how is this new school- and shop system to be arranged?” I asked, “It will be a matter of team work,” he replied. he students who adopt the plan will be divided into irs, two to each job, The two will alternate their occup: tions weekly, so that while one at the school the other will be hop. On Saturdays both U) at the shop, and to the scholar the worker will show what has been done during the week and how it should be continued by the scholar during the week that follows. “Fifty different business enterprises in Long Island City have signified their willingness to co-operate with the school in this work, ‘They include automobile manufacturers, machine shops, a drug firm, a railroad, gas companies, electric comp phone company, piumbers and so on. Girls will be allowed to take advan- tage of the part-work-part-school plan, and dressmakers, milliners and business offices are willing to give them a chance.” | MAY EARN MONEY AFTER FIRST/ YEAR IN SCHOOL, “What will the sludent-workers be paid?” | asked, “Probably there will be an arrange- ment similar to that in Fitchburg, Mass., where this scheme has been worked out in great perfection, The manufacturers there pay the young workers 10 cents an hour for the first year, 12% cents an hour the next year and 15 cents an hour the third year. The students will not begin to work until they have completed the first year of the four-year high school course. “Although the boy and girl workers will only be at school altern weeks, it wi to give them the eq: good high school edu shall probably leave out a foreign language and perh: Re som tory, but there will drill in English, arithmet id will be a future for him or her in every occupation we finally put on our list. “We eball have a man whose busl> —_————$ ness it will be to visit repeatedi each business establishment where our boys and girls work, to see that they are receiving fair treatment and to gather ideas for the school train- {ng most helpful to each individual. From the employers who co-operate with us we shall demand written agreements, providing that the scheme be in operation through a period long enough to give it a fair trial. We must have written agreements. from | the parents, too, permitting their children to divide their time between work and school, “Is the plan a charity on the part of the employer?” Dr. Demarest re- peated with a smile. “It is not. J put that question once to a Fitch- burg manufacturer and he said, ‘Not on your life! Business men may be charitable, but they don't mix busi- ness and philanthropy.’ “Then he pointed out a boy whom he was paying $1,25 a day and who was doing as good work as a man earning $4 a day. ‘He's learning his trade, but I'm being benefited, too,’ the employer commented, frankly.” HEALTH AND INDUSTRY TO BE IMPROVED. | ,“How about the health of the stu- dents?’ Il asked. “Can they stand the strain?" “Didn't most American boys and girls, a generation ago, some work with thei hi Di | broug! and | can reme 4 o'clock in thi the cow: 1 can't see that I'm any the worse nies, a 'tele- | for it. “City conditions make that sort of work Impossible for children, but a ‘ttle of some other kind won't harm them, Some of them will be better off than they are now. One of my boys has heen looking pale and tired and T asked him what was the mat- ter, He said he studied three or four hours every night, beginning at 9 o'clock. I asked him what he did be- | tween that hour and 230 in the after- | noon, when school closes, and found that ‘he clerked in a drugstore, He couldn't give it up, he said, or he | would have to give up school, Under the new arrangement he won't have to work and study the same week, “At the end of this three years’ mingling of books and work the stu- will he ready to earn good wages and forge ahead to the limit of his or her capacity in the trade chosen.
