FORD'S OFFER
GOES TO CONGRESS

Washington, Jan. 13.-Henry
Ford's offer for purchase and lease
of the governments nitrate and
water power projects at Muscle
Shoals Ala. will be referred to con
gress for final decision, it was an
nounced today at the conclusion of
conferences between government Off.
cials and Mr.. Ford. Accompanying
the Ford proposal when it is trans
mittcd, Secretary Weeks said, prob
ably would be the two offers received
from Frederick Engstrum of Will
mington, n. c., and C.. G. Tinker oE
San Francisco.
The decision to forward the three
offers to the Legislative branch of the
government, it was stated, was reach
cd by executive officials lasting over a
period of more than six months. Un
der the laws regulating disposition OF
real estate and other properties own
ed by the federal government, it was
said, the department officers lacked
authority TO take final action and
were compelled to refer the Muscle
Shoals offers 10 congress for its con-
Sidrcation.
Actual transmission of the propoS-
ais was no. expected to take place
for at least two weeks. 1t was cx-
planned that the Ford proposal first
would be drafted in contract form by
low officers of the war department
and submitted to Mr. Ford for his
signature before it was submitted to
congress. M
While the legal departments are
working on the contract form, it was
stated, Secretary Weeks would pre-
pare a report for congress containing
what Comments" he believed its
members should have for their infor-
nation. Explaining the action taken
by the conference, Secretary Weeks
said he was disappointed in that Mr..
Ford declined to agree to certain
notifications Of his plans which were
held desirable by his conferees. One
of these was known to be that affect
ing the reduction of the 100 year
lease period The principal modifica-
ton agreed to by Mr.. Ford was that
guaranteeing payment annually of a
per cent interest on the cost of main
|jtenance of dams Nos. and 3, regard
less Of the cost, whereas at first he
offered interest only on $2S 100000.
Secretary Weeks statement, ex-
planning this agreement follows:
"Mr. Hoover and l have had long
consultation with Mr.. Ford about his
offer for Muscle Shoals and have
brought up for consideration various
phases of it. The only modification
which Mr.. Ford is willing to maxi
is based on our request that there
should be guarantee of the limita-
tion of cost of building dams Nos
2 and 8 and in htat matter he has Of
fered to pay per cent interest on
the cost of the dams from the time
of their completion to the expiration
Of the contract. That, of course
means on the amount of money which
has not been returned TO the govern
ment through the amortization plan
made in the original proposal.

other company which fotmerly oper-
ated the mine and which had started
to disintegrate by reason Of the huge
weight they supported.

HARTFORD PUPILS
 HAVE HARD TIME
Principals Told That But Few
 Become H. s. Juniors

Hartford. Nov. 9.--only about s6 per cent Of the students who enter the Hartford Public High school become juniors. the others dropping out be- cause of lack of intelligence, Dr. Gus tave A. Feingold, Hartford psycholo- gist and member of the high school faculty told the Principals club at It's monthly meeting yesterday after noon at the board of~education rooms.
 Dr. Feingold spoke on "The Sub normal High School Student" The greatest mortality occurs, he said, in the freshman class where 50 per cent fail to qualify. He described q normal student as one who Is able to complete the four years course with an average grade of 65, the passing grade being 50. With exceptions as to illness, tranfer, etc., any student who takes more than four years cannot be classed as normal, Dr. Feingold de- clared.
 4 It was often suggested that many high school courses are too hard pr. Feingold pointed out, but add
 
 could hardly be regarded as high school subjects at all. He produced charts showing that intelligence of student and his scholarship grade harmonized, indicating that, allowing for outside interests, there must be something wrong when the student cannot make the 55 grade in marks during his first two years.
 Many students, he said, picked out comparatively simple courses as drawing and domestic science, which required no great mental effort, and the failure in those branches were nil, but when attempting to learn the mysteries of mathematics. science and languages, the percentage of failure was big. He quoted the common case where a student, dur ing his freshman year, took shop work. simple course, but was later befogged with mechanical drawing 1 which required independent and ra- tional thinking.
