Prof. Shirk Opposes
Study Of Sciences
In Common Schools

The study of sciences has no
proper place in elementary or high
schools" was the startling statement
made by Prof. c. ]. Shirk of Nebras-
ka Wesleyan university at the meet
ing of the biological section in the
Rome hotel yesterday morning.
Their proper place is in colleges
and universities only" he declared.
Take a science like chemistry. 1t
demands fundamental reasoning and
reflection for which the high
school student is not prepared.
1T is all right to take a general
survey of some sciences like physi-
ography, which doesn't demand re-
Elective reasoning. But this is the
age of heroic idealism The only
practicable way to approach the SCI
ences in high schools is by the bio
graphical route. Boys will get in
terested in studying how Newton
learned the law of gravitation from
the fall of the apple or in reading
the story of Marconi and wireless
telegraphy."

No Food Shortage Here
Is Prediction of Hoover

San Francisco, Nov. 5.--If over
supply reduces the market, cheer up.
Herbert Hoover said here in an
address that there is greater abun-
dance of staple foodstuffs in public
warehouses of the United States to-
day than there has been for five
years past. Central Europe's de-
mand on this supply will never be
great enough to cause shortage in
this country, he predicted
With this supply and the coming
harvest there will be i'll the United
States an excess Of staples Of be-
tween 100000 and 100000 tons,
said Hoover.
