'They Have Stolen NV Country"

TT is not an iron cross but a decoration
i from the Red Cross that Marie Ade-
iaide Of Luxembourg wears. Nothing could
be more pathetic than the interview, pub
hshed in this newspaper Saturday, in which
the Grand Duchess related how 'they have
stolen my country"

Instead. the trapped Grand Duchy was pill

DEv1TAL1zED UNIVERSITIES

TO The Editor OF BUenir0 Ledger:
slr-As the University of Pennsylvania says
good-by to Scott Nearing, must we all say
good-by to the slight vestlge Of democracy
and progresslveness that institute Of learning
possesses Wherever and whenever any sug-
gestion OF mental activity manifests itself in
our pinnacles of pedagogy, it is resoutely
snuffed out as a warning, perhaps, to the youth
OF our land to abstain from such dangerous
pastimes.
At the pace they are travelling, our uni-
versities and colleges are rapidly giving way
to the street, the theatre and the lecture plat
forms as sources OF vital information. Only
by the presence of such live wires Scott
can the universities stave off an otherwise in
evitable decay. GERTRUDE TRAUBEL

schools outm--what FOr7

"CCHooLS OUT" may be a joyous cry
~ for the youngster; but 1t means prob
lens and difficulties for the parent. And
1t means problems and difficulties for the
schools, too.
The summer of play that begins this
morning is unmixed blessing for the child
or well-to-do parents, the child who is sent
on to the beach or the mountains to breathe
In fresh air and health together. But what
about the average boy or girl who must stay
In the city through June July and August2
Unless there is an attractive playground
handy Is his body going to be any better off
for the rest? If he takes to the inevitable
streets, is his soul going to prosper as the
result OF his vacation7 One cannot help
looking with great deal of interest and
hope at the experiments Gary, Indiana, has
80 successfully made with voluntary summer
schools, largely vocational, where the chill
dren go because they have enjoyed the win
ter's work and expect to enjoy the summers.
The problem in vacation that confronts
the schools themselves is also tied up in the
experience Of Gary. 1t is simply the problem
of getting the most use out of the mech
anism of teaching. The schools suffer tre-
mendously from insufficient buildings and
teachers; the bogie of "half-time" is always
present. And yet here we find the buildings
and the teachers utilized for only some 35
weeks Of the 90, IL we allow for the various
holidays spread round the calendar. The
natural result is that more and more school
superintendents are wondering why the sum
mer vacation shouldn't be cut up and re-
distributed in such a way as to utilize all
the teaching force and all the buildings
practically all the time.
