Under Mr. Watson's plan, each child has one particular correspondent, whom he or she addresses by name. The letters written in school under supervision, are the unaided work of the scholars. They form part of the ordinary composition lesson, but have proved to be its most attractive feature. Incidentally, the letters received often convey valuable hints to teachers in regard to methods used in America, which are frequently made the subject of inquiries by the I^eeds education authorities. A recent mail brought 120 letters from pupils at four schools in Washington, which in the opinion of educationists here are remarkable for their excellent composition, good handwriting and correct spelling. The ages of the young American correspondents average l.'J and their letters range from 500 to 1,000 words in length. They are full of the Washington conference but personal touches and descriptions of the schools and their surroundings ar_> not lacking. Occasionally the English children are puzzled by Americanisms. A reference to "Buddie" as the name of the Unknown Soldier proved difficult even for the masters, but 'my teacher is a first class soccer ball fan" was more easily interpreted. "Dear Unseen Friend," one letter begins, "I choose Ix?eds because I liked it from what I have studied about it, so please tell me something about your city." Many letters express a hope for an everlasting peace between the two countries and most of the young Americans sign as "Your American Friend." High School Boy Wins First Prize NewTon, Mass., April 22.?Collegions failed to win a first prize in the 1921 essay contest conducted by the Pollak Foundation for Economic research. A high school boy won a first prize in his group and a college instructor was awarded another but the judges, in announcing their decisions today, said they considered "no essay submitted by a college student had been worthy of a first prize." The $1,000 prize for the best essay of al went to William A. Berridge, instructor in economics at Harvard, for his writings on "Unemployment and the Business Cycle." Edgar H. Ailes, class of 1921 at the Northern High School, Detroit, Michigan, was awarded $500 first prize in the high school group for his contribution on "The Advantages and Defects of Compulsory Adjudication of Industrial Disputes." Ailes is now a University of Michigan student. One college student wrote well enough to get a second prize of $250 He is Bernard H. Haggin, senior last year at the College of the City of New York. His subject was ''Causes of Unemployment and Remedies." Those who judged the essays are Dean Wallace B. Donham of Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration; Irving Fisher, professor of Economics at Yale; and Wesley C. Mitchell, director of the National Bureau of Economic Research. They perused 209 manuscripts. No prizes are offered this year. Candidates Meet Rough Treatment in Budapest Budapest, April 21.?A new occupation, open only to young huskies not afraid to fight at the drop of a cabbage, has come into being here as a result of intensive campaigning for the pending elections. Candidates opposing the government have met with such pronounced hostility that they now employ as many athletic young men as their campaign funds will permit to act as bouncers, body guards, spotters and shields for the speakers. Opposition candidates decided to buy protection after dozens of their meetings had been broken up by | bands of the notorious "Awakening Hungarians," who acquired remarkable skill at heaving cabbages and soft tomatoes, ill-smelling bombs and occasionally bricks during fits of political enthusiasm. The bouncers are stationed at various^points through the hall and galleries and on the speaker's platform. Those in the audience attempt to quell disturbances at the source, but should a stray vegetable break loose and head for the stage, there is always some of the hired help ready to jump in front of the speaker for an instant. On rare occasions when there are no disturbances, the huskies act as claquers. In many of the gatherings this is said to require almost as much conrage as speaking, for an outburst of npplause from any section of the house is sure to bring a collection of missiles. A ton and a half of stone taken from Culebra Cut of the Panama Canal is to be erected as a monument over Theodore Roosevelt's grave at Oyster Bay. t|? ?
