dent of the National Conference of
Social Work in 1924. has withdrawn

meeting of the conference this after

There has been a growing feeling
for several years" said Mr.. Norton
in a statement before the conference.
that the Importance of woman's con-
tribution to social work should be
recognized by a more frequent cleo
ton of women to the presidency of
the conference. l am in sympathy
with this feeling.
"Of more Importance is the fact
that the woman who has been nomt-
mated for the presidency is the head
of the United States Children's bu
reau. Every socia. worker in Amer
lea believes profoundly in that gov
ernmental organizations.
Experience at Hull House.

experience in social work at Hull

that time she taught in the high
school of her native town, Grand Is
land, Neb. For two years she was d.
rector of the child labor division of

FOR WORLD COURT
FREE OF POLITICS

GENESEO. N Y, May Ex-senator
James w. Wadsworth, jr.. in a formal
statement here yesterday, qualified
his support of the proposal that the
United States adhere to the protocol
for the Permanent Court of Inter-
national Justice by declaring that he
was for Americas adhesion only "if
we can remain free from political
bondage"
The present world court" he said
"is @ creature of the league of ma
lions, which in turn is a political
body. To what extent the politics of
the league (with all that that means)
may influence the makeup and pro-
ceedings of the court is a matter to
which we must give very serious con-
sideration. That the two bodies, as
at present constituted and admins
tered. are bound together more or less
directly cannot be denied. If we can
give our support to the court and at
the same time remain absolutely free
from political bondage. ] am for 1t.
Indeed, / hope this can be done. II
it cannot be done, 1 am against it,"

i. S. SOCIAL WORK
LAUDED BY VISITOR
Head of London Activity
Wants World Informed of
American Ideas.

Wider appreciation of the vigor,
energy and kindness of the American
people and of 1.-The desirability of pro-
tween American and other social
workers" is expressed by noted HUI
manitarian workers from other coun-
tries who are attending the semi-cen-
tennial conference on social work
here.
James ]. Mallon, a guest from Eng
land, head worker Of Townbee Hall,
London, and an authority on social
and industrial questions in Great
Britain, said that many of the pa
pers read to the conference are of
wide Importance. and 1 should like to
see social workers in Europe study
ing them and submitting the results
Likened to National Crusade.
THE broad impression conveyed to
me by the conference, the intensity,
intelligence and the interest mani
tested by large and representative
audiences. is that social work in
America is rapidly attaining to the
dimensions and Importance of a ma
tional crusade.
The preoccupation of q conference
of several thousands of men and
women with the non-partisan aspects
of questions of government, industry.
public health and order is new and,
I need not add, stimulating to me.
Similar gatherings in Great Britain
are smaller and less well instructed,
and they do not convey, to the same
extent as the national conference. the
sense of a community which regards
social reforms per Sc as its main or
primary interest"
DIR. Alice SaIomon's Address.
when I was a little child 1 was
always told that young people who
did not do we'll were sent to Amer
ica," said DR.. Alice Solomon, director
Of the Berlin School for Social Work,
in giving her impressions of the ma
tional conference.
"In social work in Germany" she
added, I'VE have theory that young
people who do not do well very often
capacities, which, however, do not
conform with the needs of the social
world of today; that children who
play truant who have tendencies to
wander and roam about. would prob
ably be of the highest value. and
even make a mark IL they lived under
different circumstances and condi-
tions.
Most Striking Impression.
THE most striking impression of
the conference is the amazing capa-
city for work, the enthusiasm with
which all the members Of the confer
ence enter into every subject. ! do
not think that in any other country
people could be found who are so
full Of vigor, of energy. of kindness,
who are so serious and cheerful at
the same time.
Another impression is that most
people have not only the extraordi-
nary optimism which is due to the
probabilities of the country, to it's
extreme wealth, but they are also
convinced in a much higher degree
than people on the other side of the
ocean that they can shape circum-
stancs according to their insight. to
their, knowledge OF research and
science" "a,

ON HEALTH
WORK FOR PUPILS
Speaker Seeing Big Gains Is
Countered by One Noting
Only Negative Results.

The teaching of health in the
schools of the world has taken great
strides forward in the past few years
while school inspection has had little
effect upon the amount of mental
work, the conservation of nervous
strain and the conservation Of the
child in athletics, according to the
views of two speakers given this
morning at a group meeting of the
National Conference of Social Work
in the Mt. Vernon NJ. E. Church
South.
They were Miss Sally Lucas Jean.
director OF health he edneation in the
of which Herbert Hoover is president
and DR.. Caroline Hedger. medical ad-
wiser of the Elizabeth Mccormick
Memorial Fund, Chicago. DR.. Thomas
cation. Teachers College, Columbia
University, presided and also spoke
on The Theory and Practice of
ing the Last Fifty Years."
Sees Stronger Children.
I'VE are nearer the goal of building
strong-bodied children than ever be-
fore" said Miss Jean, but we will
only succeed If we place In the child 8
consciousness the desirability of
and happiness"
DR.. Hedger said school inspection as
at present constituted is largely a mat
ter of negative health and has made
little impression in the matter of con-
servation. 1T has largely devoted it
self to the prevention of contagion, of
communicable diseases, the correction of
defects that should have been corrected
before the child was ever admitted to
school, the hygiene of the school, build
ing and other fundamental matters that
make health possible she SAID.
THE positive field of health remains
the most important matter in the educa-
ton and physical life of the child, and
demands cooperation and coordination
of the various forces acting on the child"
she stated.
Had War Experience.
Dr. Hedger has had many years ex-
perence as a physician in Chicago, and
during the war was sent by the Chicago
Woman's Club to Belgium to assist in
the fight against the typhoid epidemic
there. She is now teaching health edu-
cation in state colleges In the west in
cooperation with the extension workers
and the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
Miss Jean was formerly director Of
the child health organization, which first
conceived the idea Of making health a
positive rather than a negative thing to
children and of giving it the status CT
a game that a child loves TO play--to
Child Hath Organization was recently
merged with the American Child Hy-
giene Association into the American
Child Health Association for the pro-
lection and promotion Of child health
in America.

GENERAL GALES PLATFORM.

Mexico City. Sept. IA let
ter making known what is be.
lieved to be the platform on
which General Gales, former
secretary of the interior, will
conduct his campaign for the
presidency, is being printed
here.
He Identifies himself with
President Obregon's information
al, agrarian, financial and labor
policies. He asserts that all ma
tons at the present time are un-
dergoing a fundamental trans
formation which will result in
the re organization of society
upon a. more equitable basis.
He expresses admiration for the
governments efforts to- bring
about the economic, moral and
intellectual betterment of the
working classes and approves
President Obregon's attempt to
define the relations between eng
ployer and employee, as we'll as
the jurisdiction of the federal
and local governments on that
question.
General Gales adheres whole.
heartedly to articles q and % of
the Mexican constitution and
stands for rightful application
Of the agrarian policy, especial
ly with regard to allotment and
restitution of communal lands.
He believes that facilities should
be granted all Mexicans for &C.
curing gratuitously federally-
owned real estate, that large
properties should be divided. and
that cooperative societies should
be established to encourage thrift
and personal initiative among
the working classes.
The general considers is to be
most important that campaign
be conducted for the establish
ment of schools throughout
Mexico.
The statement concludes with
a declaration of complete adhe.
sion to President Obregon's poll
cies and with an exhortation that
the Gales supporters keep with.
in the law.

A GUIDE FOR NEWSPAPER MEN

An insight into our late presi-
dents character will be gained
by reading his instructions to
reporters and writer's on the
Marion Star" They are as
follows:
Remember there are two sides
to every question. Get them
both.
Be truthful. Get the facts.
Mistakes are inevitable, but
strive for accuracy. l would
rather have one story exactly
right than a hundred half wrong.
Be decent. be fair, be generous.
Boost-Don't knock. There's
good in everyb body. Bring out
the good and never needlessly
hurt the feeling of anybody.
In reporting a political gather
ing give the facts, tell the story
as it is, not as you would like to
have it. Treat all parties alike.
If there is any politics to be
played, we will play it in our
editorial columns. Treat all re-
liRious matters reverently.
If it can possible be avoided,
never bring ignominy to an in
nocent man or child in telling of
the misdeeds or misfortunes of a
relative.
Don't wait to be asked, but do
it without the asking, and above
all be clean and never let dirty
word or suggestive story get
into type. [ want this paper so
conducted that it can go into any
home without destroying the in
nocence of any child.
