Humanize School Science To Maintain Interest of Pupils, Says Dr. Tildsley Teaching by Measurement and Scales Has Forced Study to Take Second Place to Languages, Says District Superintendent-Up to Teachers to Make It Fascinating. By JOHN J.

O'NEILL. Failure of science teachers of life is responsible for the interest in science that they give growing active children a change into an uninteresting system of measurements the study of science that is positively fascinating when properly presented. Teachers have ignored the spirtual possibilities of science; they have made it too mechanistic, too mathematical. Thousands of boys and girls in the biology classes have gotten greater uplift out of the story of Pasteur than they have out of any formal course of ethics. These were the highlights in a criticism of the teaching of science in the high schools of New York City made by Dr.

John L. Tildsley, District Superintendent, at the quarterly meeting of the American Institute, held in the Town Hall last night. "Humanized Science" Appeals. Dr. Tildsley announced in his address the results of a questionnaire sent to 500 teachers and 16,000 pupils.

The teachers were asked to state their objectives in teaching science and the pupils were asked to state what they liked most in science and what they got out of it. "The evidence is very conclusive," said Dr. Tildsley, "that in so far as science is humanized, it makes the greater appeal to boys and girls. We asked which part of biology, chemistry and physics they had gotten the most out of. "In biology the most liked topics were human physiology, heredity, evolution, eugenics, 1,581.

"In chemistry, study of the elements and compounds in the laboratory, application to daily life, 2,812, "In physics, electricity, me- chanics, 1,837. Biology Most Popular. "Of these three sciences, that which evokes the most enthusiasm seems to be biology, then chemistry, then physics. Advanced biology arouses -the greatest positive reaction because so many of its divisions as taught in our high schools impress the pupils as indispensable to their well being, human physiology, heredity, evolution, reproduction. Then comes chemistry with its opportunity to see things come about in the laboratory and the constant reminder that the world of comfort about them is more comfortable today than it was yesterday.

"Last comes physics, to many of us the greatest of sciences, with the greatest possibilities for envisioning its students and even forcing them into a larger world set free. May not this comparative failure of physics to realize its possibilities be due to the insistence of physics teachers on continuing to deal with it as an abstract subject instead of an intensely human subject? Year of Measuring." "Our boys and girls are generally introduced to physics 'by being handed a ruler or a set of scales and set to measure or weigh minute portions for an hour in order to impress them with the necessary accuracy. They are told that physics is a science of measurement. What a prospect for youth bubbling with live interests to sit for a year measuring, weighing! "Whereas he should gain at his first touch with physics an immense enthusiasm for the science which through long ages has made it possible for him to stand erect, a free being, fearing no one, neither gods nor men, 'and rejoicing in his mastery of the forces to which his faraway ancestor was an abject slave. "An Emancipation of the Mind." "Physics has not been through the ages a series of measurements merely but a great process of the emancipation of man's mind, man's soul.

So- I would not begin the boy's study. of physics by handing him a rule, but I would take him back to mythology to his skinclad grandfather crouching with fear as Jove hurls his thunder bolt and show him Menelaus offering sacrifices of lambs and bullocks to avert the dire pestilence which is sweeping away its thousands. "I would show him the world before Galileo and the emancipated world after him and SO along the line of the great physicists, each of whom left the world greater than "Fifty years ago science as a school subject was expected to take the first place in the curriculum. I Professor Wins $5,000 Kahn Travel Fund Award of the $5,000 Albert Kahn Fellowship for 1029-1930 to Ulrich Bonnell Phillips, professor of American history at the University of Michigan, was announced today at Columbia University by 'Frank D. Fackenthal, secretary of the Albert Kahn Foundation for the foreign travel of American teachers.

Twelve fellows have been sent around the world by the foundation, which was established in 1911 by Albert Kahn of Paris. Trustees of the American Albert Kahn Foundation are: Edward D. Adams, Nicholas Murray Butler, William D. Guthrie, John Grier Hibben, Max Mason and Henry S.1 Pritchett. DAVIS MAKES NEW MOVE TO REGAIN $2,000,000 FIRM Attorney Gets Order Naming Self as Trustee for Plaintiff to Further Litigation.

Charles T. Davis, who is serving a 10-year sentence in Dannemora for the murder of Police Detective Joseph Bridgetts, today launched a new legal move in his attempt to reclaim the $2,000,000 surgical supply corporation which he signed over to his wife, Mrs. Henrietta Davis, when he was faced with the electric chair or a life in prison or the insane asylum. His counsel. H.

Lewis Brown, obtained from Supreme Court Justice Fawcett an order naming Brown as trustee to represent Davis. The next legal move, if there is opposition on the part of Mrs. Davis' counsel, will be to have Brown substituted as plaintiff in place of Davis in the proceeding now pending before Supreme Court Justice May, and which, the latter indicated at the hearing, hinges largely on the question of whether Davis, as a felon in prison, has forfeited all his civil rights, including the legal capacity to institute the suit against his wife. Justice May is to decide whether he shall issue an injunction to prevent Mrs. Davis from taking advantage of an offer of $1,800.000 cash for the business, to the success of 'which she contributed so largely in the early days of their business career.

The Court has not yet received the briefs of counsel on the two questions involved, the other being whether Davis divested himself permanently of his holdings as a matter of safety. An off feature of Brown's petition is that it is also made in behalf of Austin Sheriff Davis, 20-year-old son of the couple, who is a minor and himself without legal capacity to sue except through a guardian. GAYNOR WINS SUIT AGAINST THE CITY Edward J. Gaynor, real estate appraiser, frequently appointed by the Corporation Counsel as expert for the city in condemnation proceedings, has been awarded a judgment for $9,400 by Justice Johnston in Supreme Court for work done in appraising land taken for school and library sites. His bill, for that amount, had been cut down by the Controller to $3,600.

He rejected the offer and sued through the law Arm of McCooey Conroy. Gaynor told Justice Johnston that the had billed the city at $100 a day for appraisal work and insisted that that was a fair and reasonable value for his services as an expert. Two experts testified as witnesses for Gaynor that $100 a. day was "fair and Chest Fund Urged by Rockaways A plan to establish a community charitable chest fund was advanced yesterday by Dr. Joseph Baum, former president of medical board at St.

Joseph's Hospital, as a means of eliminating numerous drives for funds conducted by charitable groups throughout Far Rockaway. Dr. Baum, in announcing his plan, said that he proposed to submit it to the various civic and fraternal groups throughout the community in an effort to have them indorse it.

McLaughlin 1 in the County Court. The State closed its case yesterday against Casmir, who is charged with being one of the two men who beat Lawrence Camarda of 153 Carroll st. to death in an alleged speakeasy at 16th st. and 4th ave. on Feb.

22. Vincent Van Dyke of 344 13th st. on the stand yesterday testified that Sam Sims, owner of the alleged speakeasy, warned Camarda of trouble when Camarda walked into his place on the night of the murder. Van Dyke said he saw the beating of Camarda and heard one of the two men who beat Camarda call the other "Coso." He was unable to identify Casmir as "Coso." Sims testified to warning Camarda of trouble. He named Casmir as one of the clubbers.

After the assault, he asserted, he saw Casmir and the other man drag Camarda's body out. EDWIN BAYHA MORTICIANS SERVICE NUT I Telephone GOLD MAIN 1219 BUT THE MAIN 1239 GOLDEN AL'LE 219 Atlantic Ave. Seek Settlement by July. to visualize science as a way failure of students to take the should manifest. Teachers rule and a set of scales and It has not done so.

Its teachers are to blame. They have ignored its spiritual possibilities. They made it too mechanistic, too material, too mathematical. The method of science is the method of higher living. Its great leaders have been men of imagination, men of vision, with capacity for infinite sacrifice, with devotion for the truth.

"The story of Pasteur has given a greater uplift to thousands of boys and girls in the biology classes of the high schools of this city than any formal course in ethics. Our teachers of biology are on the way, a few of our teachers of chemistry and physics are ready to humanize their subject. When all of our science teachers shall not only envision but actualize 'teaching science as a way of life' then science will at last come into its own in the school as in the world outside." Scientific Outlook on Life. That the pupils were interested more in securing the scientific outlook on life than in the mechanics of science was evidenced by the replies obtained from the pupils in response to the question do you feel you have gained from your science work that will be of use to you ten years from now when you may have forgotten many of the facts you have learned?" received Among the representative replies and quoted by Dr. Tildsley were: "A desire to see below the surface and know of the inner, secret working of things." "It made me feel that truth is the main thing." "A desire for truth, a power of reasoning and a greater accuracy in making statements." "Acceptance of new Ideas.

A curiosity that knows no limit." "I think I shall always remember that this course gave me just an insight into another world, one of the many into which a lot of us will never "The idea that success can be obtained only through hard, diligent work and long experimentation." "An appreciation of science and enough foundation to enable one to direct his life in the best way." Discussing the replies of the 500 science teachers as to their objectives Dr. Tildsley said: "Seek to Develop Appreciation." "It was a most valid proof of the existence even in our large public high schools of really 'progressive education that no less than two hundred and fifty-five of the science teachers stated as their fundamental objective 'to develop in pupils an appreciation for the scientific method of thinking and habit of applying this method to other than strictly scientific subject "'A few of the finer teachers are optimistic enough to set as their objectives: 'The building up of intellectual "'Openness to new willingness to change present: of power and willingness to weigh evidence and postpone respect for intellectual "'Impressing pupils that truth is the necessity and mainspring of our "Bring About Best Results." "It seems a far cry from a study of mechanics, bases and acids, the cray fish, to those far-flung objectives. It is needless to say that these objectives determine the approach, the method of treatment. The teachers who proclaim these objectives are the very teachers who, as a rule, give their pupils a mastery of the fundamentals of the science. They are apt to be the ones who even gain the best examination results because all the time they are able to bring conviction to the pupils of the great worthwhileness of what they are doing." Finds Sciences Lose Out.

The situation which caused Dr. Tildsley to undertake the survey which brought forth such interesting results, and is bound to result in eventual changes in our teaching methods, is indicated by the fact that he found for every pupil in our high schools studying science there are two studying a foreign language, and that after the pupils have been brought into contact with general science one year they forget to choose it as a subject the following year. By agreeing on the statement of facts, both parties to the suit can go directly into the Appellate with final decision resting with the Court of Appeals. By thus avoiding the necessity for going into the Supreme Court, it is hoped to have the budget fight settled before July 1, when new appropriations go into effect at the state of the new fiscal year. Delivered by State Trooper.

So anxious was the Attorney General that there should be no delay in transmitting the statement of facts to Mr. Guthrie for his perusal that he called in the police to deliver the document. The papers were sent to Manhattan yesterday with a state trooper as messenger. The trooper, however, accustomed to patroling lonely country roads, was SO confused with the hurry and bustle of the big city that he was unable to locate Mr. Guthrie until late last night at the latter's home.

soon as the papers are reAs turned with Mr. Guthrie's indorsement, Mr. Ward intends to go into court immediately to file his action. WILLS FILED GANNON, FRANK C. (April 26).
