had two large and distinct tattoo

ION his arm and small sort of q scar

Who Accompanied Kearney
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRn.I

Redondo Beach, Cal, Dec. 19.-
dashed on the rocks seven miles south
of Redondo Beach, the body Of Chester
Lawrence, a Los Angeles newspaper
man, who started last Saturday to fly
from Long Beach to San Francisco,
with Horace Kearny, was found to-
day,
The body was positively identified
by Captain P. A. Minor, of Redondo
Beach, and other persons, who had
know Lawrence. 1t was taken TO a
morgue here,
Search for the body of Kearny has
been renewed, but water front men
believe 1t will not appear before an
other change Of the tide.
Lawrences body was clad in a gray
sweater and heavy coat, both of which
had been pulled high over the head,
and his right hand was entangled in
the coat sleeve. This made 1t appar-
ent that he was drowned while vainly
trying TO divest himself of his heavy
clothing, after being thrown into the
water
A watch, which dangled from his
coat pocket, was badly battered, but
the hour handed pointed to five The
minute hand was gone. This may in
dicate the probable hour that Law
renee and Kearny met their fate
They began their flight shortly after
noon Saturday.
The mans face was badly battered
from its contact with the rocky point
where the body was found. The nose
was broken and the head badly scar
red.
Persons familiar with the currents
in Crescent bay believe the accident
that plunged the men into the water
occurred several miles north of this
place, the body being carried back by
the tides,

Of
Series Of
Lectures

Mr. P. Kuntz, city superintendent Of
the Salem schools, delivered at Suyer
Polk county the first lecture in the
course that has been arranged for the
public schools by State Superintend-
ent Alderman.
Mr.. Kuntz's subject was "The New
Education" In his address he
showed clearly that the criticism dl-
rected against the public schools is un-
just, because the leading school men
have always kept abreast of the times,
and have changed the courses of study
to meet the changed economic condl-
tions in this country. Instead Of up
setting the entire school system by
revolutionary changes every two or
three years, as the critics would have
us do, the leaders in educational
thought have kept in close touch with
the spirit of the day, and have grad
ually met the necessary changes so
that the public school has always been
able to give the boys and girls Of this
country the education that would best
fit them for the time in which they are
living.
In speaking Of the changes that have
recently been made in the public
school system, Mr. Kuntz said
"The kindergarten has also come
into the public school system to stay
taking children at the tender age and
training them by the state to right
habits Of thought and action. Even
specific lines of work, such as agricul-
ture. horticulture, mining, etc, have
all found a place in our system Of ed
ucation, and we today think Of educa-
ton as preparing young people for life
and life's work. From present day
work in public education 1t is but a
step to the vocational education idea,
and already some Of our schools are
training for vocational work, Not only
have subjects been added to the course
of study, but methods Of teaching have
been rovoutionlzed, or are in the pro-
cess of revolutionizing, The element
of interest, or rather interest in the
work has become a leading thought
in educational work. BY interest we
moan relating the work Of the school
to the life of the child, so that he may
see the meaning of what he is doing.
our method of teaching has changed
loss than even our courses Of study It
Is necessary to change our courses oil
study because our ideals are changing.
One thing not heretofore considered
as essential to the training Of the
child must be a fundamental principle,
and that is to teach the dignity OF
labor
"Tbe school is fast becoming a So
d L..
cial center for all the activities OF 'ne
commpnity-a place where people can
meet and discuss the questions per-
tanning to the real problems Of liIe' a
center Of influence from when lne
community may draw help and in8plra-
ton"
