New Balloon" Tire Is for
Passenger Cars Only

Considerable confusion has devel.
oped with reference to the new 90
inch automobile tire and rim. This
confusion has been somewhat in
creased since the development of the
balloon on low air pressure tire.
The balloon" tire is being devel-
oped for passenger cars only. not for
trucks and not for busses. The tires
great advantage Is its ease OF riding
The easy riding quality is arrived at
by carrying very little air pressure in
d large section tire with smaller num-
Der OF cord plies.
In addition to the balloon type of
tire according TO Miller tire men,
there Is a passenger tire for 20
inch rim OF regular construction and
IN addition. heavy duty truck cord
tire.
An easy way to determine rim di-
amefer Ia TO subtract twice the cross
section size from the height of the
tire. In the 32x6, for example. the
cross section size is six inches. Twice
that is IL inches. Subtract that from
~ and the result is 20 inches-the
rim diameter.

Speaker Scores
School Control
Teachers in Closing Session
of Convention at City
Auditorium.

In address on THE State and
Education" before the state teachers
meeting in the Auditorium Saturday
morning, Elwaad p. Cubberley of
Stanford University, stated that
financial and educational benefits
would accrue from county organiza-
ton of public schools.
THE trouble with the country
schools Is that too many boards are
in control. too much local control, in
stead of efficient county administra-
tion, the counties in turn co-operat-
ing with the state school depart
ment." the California educator as
serted
1T Is the business OF the state to
be not merely a passive tax gather
ing and distributing agency. but
should be active and enefrefic for the
Improvement of educational condi-
tions throughout the state" Mr..
Cubberley added. This implies that
the state should set standards below
which communities should not be
permitted to go. and from time to
time. these standards should be ad-
vanced. This involves responsible
ties both financial and educational
which the state should be prepared
to meet"
The speaker stressed the need Of
strong county school organizations.
Concluding Session.
This mornings meeting OF the
teachers In the Auditorium was the
concluding session OF the third annual
convention OF the members of District
No. of Nebraska State Teachers as
sociation. The general meeting was
opened by selections rendered by pu-
pills OF the Eighth grade schools. un
der direction of Juliet McCune. super
visor OF music. L. NJ. Hosman. ex-
eeutive secretary of the state associa-
ton. spoke on The Growing Profes-
sional Consciousness.
f. c. Yermillion. state supervisor OF
Americanizatlon for Ohio. spoke as
follows on THE Responsibility OF the
Educational Forces in Immigrant edu-
cation"
THE immigrant in our midst is one
of Americas most perplexing prob
lens.
THE immigrant has been a great
factor in the building OF Industrial
America there can be no doubt. But
consideration only from an economic
standpoint is To lose sight OF what is
vitality more important to the future
of America-that of having him
know and understand America.
"The public school is the only
agency In any community which is
looked upon by the immigrant as an
institution without an Interior motive.
Il ann conscious OF the crowded
curriculum Of the public schools.
Il am fully aware OF the many de-
mands made by the community upon
the educational forces. But as we all
agree that the ultimate object OF edu.
cation is an intelligent and useful citi.
zenship we should keep in mind that
the first aim of our school system
should be To train for social thinking
and social action.
There are many who believe that
this work for the immigrant should be
done by the federal government, still
others who believed II should be state
responsibility. The federal govern
ment and state can assist the commu-
nifty. but the real aim is only accom-
plished by the personal contact with
the immigrant in the community and
experience has taught us that the i'm.
migrant rs very Elnd TO cooperate
with the educational forces by shar.
ing the financial obligations of the
work.
