CITIES RULED BY CHILDREN Spread or Idea of Teaching Govern ment In Public Schools. "Washington Post. Ever since "Wilson Ij. Gill organized tho first school city In 1S37. school cities have been springing up all over the United States. Nobody knows Just how many there are or have been. School cities are organized, flourish, die, and spring up 'again, according as a teacher, or princi pal or a superintendent Is Interested In the' new method of self-government In schools. Then the Government sent Mr. Gill to Cuba to introduce the school city Into the schools of the new republic during the American occupancy. In 1300 and the fol lowing two years, as the general super visor of moral and civic training In the schools of Cuba, he organized SCO school cities in tho island. Meanwhile the School Board of Phlladel pla, back In 13S, had passed a resolution Indorsing tho school city and introducing It as an experiment In one school. Upon his return to the United States Mr. Gill waa invited to go to Philadelphia, and there, under a semi-official connection with the board, ho has since organized 33 school cities in as many duferent school buildings. No other city lias adopted this method of school government so gen erally as Philadelphia, 30 far as Is known. The mothodyof organizing a school city varies according to conditions. Sometimes one class constitutes tho city. If only one teacher Is interested In the enterprise. Again, a whole building constitutes tho qlty. In which case each room forms one ward. Again, for the sake of keeping those children who arc somewhat near together In age and size in one body, each floor in tho building forms a city. , In cases In which each room Is a ward two members of the city council, a boy and a girl, are elected for each class. Equal suffrage always prevails In tho shool city, and offices are evenly divided botween the sexes as far as possible. Then the city as a whole elects a mayor, city clork. Judge, clerk of the court and sheriff. There may be a police force, with four policemen, two girls and two boys, zrosx each room. The Idea is constantly Incul cated that police service Is one of help fulness, not oppression. Police officers are elected, who, by reason of their age, wisdom and character, can Instruct and help the weaker ones In the fulfillment of the law. Arrests are made onlyln cases of willful defiance. "The school city Is. not a mimic govern ment, but a mlnfure government," said Mr. GUI. "It Is real so far as It goes. The American Ideal is self-government: a finding out of the right thing to do, and then doing it of your own accord beoausc it Js best for all concerned. That Is self government. "These are the Ideals of democracy; un attalned though they may be. And it Is wonderful to see how well and easily the children carry them out In the school city, and what a- difference self-government makes in their attitude toward rules. "They readily make laws concerning punctuality, for instance. They are per fectly capable of seeing that the class work will be broken up If members are to come In any time they please. They will hold court and pass on cases of tardi ness, elucidating the cause and deciding on penalties with the utmost gravity and fairness." The Ideal Guest. Harper's JJazar. It has jbeen said that women may be divided Into two classes, that of the "born hostess" and that of the "born guest." and that neither fits Into the other's role with any degree of success! There Is one charming woman who Is known among her friends as "I. G," which mysterious appellation stands for "Ideal Guest"! She explains her unique title by saying: "It Is so silly! Any one can bo a perfect guest if she only tries. All you havo to do Is to be pleased with your entertainment, and try to help your hostess mako things agreeable for tho others. Yes, I do visit a great deal, and I mako It an Inviolable rule never to re peat in one house what I have seen or heard In another." It is very modest and quite proper that tho "Ideal guest" should thus make light of her qualifica tions. Those of us, however, who have a faculty 1or observation know of other re quirements to the character which she has not named. Tho "Ideal guest," for Instance, make? the care of her room as easy for the maid as possible. "Wben she leaves it in the morning the bed iy stripped and the mattress turned to air. When she leaves It for dinner or supper In the evening, all her own belongings are carefully put away In closet or drawer?, thus making no "ptcking-up" after her work which is wearing to the maid and which takes much time. The "I. G." also remembers at noon, or when the guest-room has the most blazo o sunlight, to elope the blinds or drop the awnings, thus helping to keep fresh her hostess'dalnty furnishings.
