ments for the importation into this coun-
try of thousands Of tons of beef and other

SCHOOL SYSTEM WRONG,
SAYS VICE PRESIDENT
Mr.. Marshall Declares, in Address,
-Four Out Of Five High School
Students Fail.

Five hundred thousand young people
who hope to achieve success In life are
beng sent forth from the schools of this
country annually and 10000 of them are
falling said Vice President Marshall
last night while addressing the Council
of Church Boards of Education in session
at the Raleigh Hotel.
Mr.. Marshall declared that some change
IN the school system was necessary. 1.-THE
young people must be taught to under
stand what the republic is intended to
be- he said. ut is generally believed
that the distress and cause Of unrest in
this country is due to the preachment
of the fannel-mouthed anarchist from
the street corner. but it must be remem-
bered that four out of five young people
who come from high schools and colleges
are failures. This condition exists partly
because 1t is impossible to teach the Bible
In the public schools
Curriculums Lowered, He Says.
Speaking Of secular colleges and univer-
stiles, the Vice President said that they
have been running race for students
and the honor OF comforting the greatest
number of degrees. They have been ex-
pending their time in seeking numbers
and have lowered their curriculums, he
declared.
Senator Sterling of South Dakota aues-
toned whether the churches measure up
to their opportunities as educational
agencies. United States Commissioner of
Education p. P. Claxton presided at the
meeting.
Publicity Bureau Planned.
AT today's session of the council OF
church boards of education, meeting at
the Raleigh Hotel, a plan for the estab-
ishment of joint agency to promote the
cause of Christian education was SUBJ
mitted and discussed. The plan provided
that the thirteen 5 rol.stant denomina lions
represented in tie council pro-rata the
expense of establishing and maintaining
joint publicity bureau the function of
which would be to bring to public atten-
ton the work being done by or under the
direction of the council
1t was not expected that definite action
would be taken in regard to the propo-
sition at today's session.
Dr. Richard c. Hughes, in charge of the
work of the Presbyterian Church In state
universities. read report on the religious
fife and activities of these institutions
Thomas Evans, secretary of the Chr. star
vania.- also spoke of the religious work
among students. The council appointed
committee to confer with Y. NJ. c. A
leaders In colleges and universities, and
with others in the institutions, with a
view to the promotion of greater unity
of effort in Christian work in the uni.

Early Action Probable.

1t is considered probable there may pe
some action by the Commissioners before
the end of the week in the Sullivan

stated that whatever action might ne
taken would be followed by a statement
explaining it.
Fire Chief Wagner today was enthu-
siastic in his praise of Sullivan's WORK
in fighting the blaze In the Bedeii maj,
tress factory last night. Sullivan's feat
in preventing the Hub Furniture Com
any's store from catching fire was
one of the finest illustrations of success
full fire fighting he had ever seen' the
