mother for a "coed" when he goes
up to Columbia University to take
post graduate work this fall. Mrs.
John Norton, his mother. is San
Francisco school teacher, we'll known
here because she taught school last
winter in Washington. Norton, be-
sides holding an acknowledged world
record among educators for being the

holder of the worlds 440 hurdle rec
ord Norton's only complaint about
this convention is that 1T interferes
with his training-he uses the run

keep in trim.

the Educational Digest, predicts that
the textbook of the future will be
filled with pictures. He says history
and geography and the social sci
ences will be taught largely by pic
lures.
Joy Elmer Morgan, publicity man
for the convention, did a good bit of
publicity work for Washington when
he arranged the program for the
dinner last evening for the educa-
tionaI editors of the country which
was held at the Cosmos Club. He
had representatives of government
bureaus, such as the Library of Con-
and the Smithsonian, tell of the edu-
cational work their agencies are do
ing. AS a result these Washington
government branches will be brought
to the attention of teachers all over
the country through the pages OF
their professional publications.
Many of the teachers ask about the
beautiful old residence opposite Cen
trail High School on Clifton street
That is where William Jennings
Bryan lived for a time when he was
Secretary of State. 1t was on the
front porch Of that home that he told
reporters, upon his resignation OF the
State Department portfolio, that he
could no longer afford to work for
the government for $4,000 d year,

Joy Elmer Morgan with the publicity

CITES RESOURCES
OF COUNTRY LIFE
DR.. Julian E. Butterworth of Cor
nell Tells of Educational
Advantages.

Educational resources of country
life from the broad standpoint were
discu ssed by DR.. Julian E. Butterworth
of Cornell University before the de-
partment Of rural education at a
meeting today at the Interior Depart
ment auditorium DR.. Butterworth
said:
1.-THE ultimate object Of rural edu-
cation we may assume to be not to
keep children on the farm or to max e
them better agricultural producers;
rural education, like urban education,
nificant sources in making an indi-
vidual with constantly expanding
powers whether his life work takes
him to the country or to the city.
ANY environment, rural or urban.

are to perform our professional task
even reasonably well we must know
these conditions in order that the
limitations may be Offset or supple
mented and the resources utilized.
Since rural communities vary
prevailing. economic status of citi-
Zens, nationality, etc, it follows that
there will be differences in the re-
sources of communities and how they
may be most enect1vely used. Among
the more universal of the types of
resources may be mentioned the OBJ
jects OF nature, both animate and in
animate; the open spaces, allowing
freedom in early physical develop
ment; conditions essentially favor
able to health and morals; situations
vitality concerned with successful
living, such as the training of initia-
tive and responsibility through daily
tasks, the larger projects Of house
and farm, etc, and certain factors
favorable to the creating of interest
in the work of the schools. These
are enumerated as rural resources
not in the sense that they are not
found to some degree in urban life,
but that they do exist in rural life.
We are concerned in those factors
that make for better education of
country children, not in arguing the
question OF whether country or city
offers better educational opportuni-
ties.
"In many cases we do not utilize as
we might resources that exist. This
is true not only Of the school, but of
the home as we'll. The average citi-
zen has not yet fully realized his
opportunity and his obligation in

PLACEMENT OFFICE
SERVICE EXPLAINED
q. S. Employment Service Official
Addresses Secondary Education
Leaders Here.

Giving new points of view is as
much a part of the job, Of the place
ment office as finding jobs for per-
sons. according to Miss Mary Stewart
of the United States employment
service of the Department of Labor,
speaking today before the depart
ment of secondary education at the
New Willard Hotel
In the placement Office both
educational and occupational world
meet, measure their demands, de-
termfne how far boys and girls can
meet these demands, and how far
nature and modify their demands
declared Miss Stewart
mo secondary vocational guidance
program Is complete without an
adequate placement Office To be
adequate it must give discriminating g
service alike to applicant and en-
p1oyer 1t must get the applicant a
job for which he is fitted.
The placement office is the point
at which life checks up on the school
as well as on the boy and girl seek
ing work: 1t can provide only the
work which the occupational world
offers. If the applicant is unwilling
or unntted In ability or education to
do what is to be done, no magic
placement wand in the Office can con-
jure Job to his need or liking. The
problem then becomes one of re-
education.
This may mean not only refrain
ing the Individual, but reorganization
of the school curriculum. When go
per cent of the graduates of a high
school are prepared for a kind of
work that is available. for only 20
per cent, something Is the matter
with the plan of education. When
4O per cent enter kind of work for
which the school has offered no
training, something is the matter
with the school. When an employer
seeks kind of service which is out
side of the nature of boys and girls
to give, something is the matter with
the job. The placement office is
where the boy, the school and the
job meet. Obviously it must be
equipped with an adequate knowledge
"The secondary school sends three
classes of pupils to the, placement
ofhce-the graduates, the drop-outs
and those who threaten to drop out.
1t must be prepared to give sound
advice to each of these three. 1t
does not follow that its greatest
service lies in finding each applicant
q job. The obligation does rest upon
1t to provide new, broadened or
strengthened point of view. And this
service may be extended alike to
applicant, to school and to employer

COOPERATION SEEN
A|DTOPATR|OT|SM
Training Citizens Should Not
Be Left to Particular
Agency, Says Speaker.

Solution of the problem of citizen
ship training is dependent not on the
activity Of any one public agency,
but on cooperation of all and a bet
ter understanding on the part of the
people who live in America-both ma
tive and foreign born-regarding the
Ideals and principles of our govern
ment," declared Lillian Clark of the
federal bureau of naturalization be-
fore the department of immigration
education, National Education Associa-
ton, at the Raleigh Hotel today.
Miss Clark declared: "Foreign-born
men and women who desire to be-
come citizens of the United States
are required to pass an educational
examination before they are admitted
to citizenship
The bureau of naturalization in its
function of carrying out the naturali-
zation law is charged with promot-
ing citizenship training of candidates
Tor citizenship through the public
schools. The federal textbook on
citizenship Training is published by
the bureau and in it's three parts
gives to candidates and their teach
erS complete course of study, be-
ginning with the learning of our
language through the study of our
history, customs and government,
municipal, state and national.
Difference in Teaching.
Because teaching adult fnmi-
grants is entirely different from
teaching children, and because the
adults coming to school vary so
greatly in their previous education,
ranging from the illiterate to the uni
versity graduate, a highly specialized
and comprehensive course of study
rs necessary to meet the needs At
tendance in evening school is purely
voluntary and therefore the course
must be interesting and profitable to
the individual
While many of the foreign born
of this country live in the large in
dustrfal centers there are also many
who live in smaller communities and
rural districts. Regardless of loca-
ton. as prospective citizens they all
need to know about the form and
principles of our government, the
rights, and obligations of citizenship
To this end the bureau of naturalization
has co-operated during the past year
with approximately $500 communities
1t has reached into every state in the
country. giving advice and assistance
to organizations and teachers inter
ested in better citizenship"

women's work, Hartford, Conn, also

VOTES OF UNIT RULE
STATES HELD BY THREAD
Delegations Being Swayed From
Candidate to Candidate by
Change of Single Vote.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 3.-The narrow
margin by which delegations voting
as units in the Democratic national
convention are being held in line or
swayed from one camp to another is
illustrated by the movements of the
Mississippi, Oklahoma and Missouri
votes. Mississippi- instance, went
into the Davis column on the nine
teenth ballot and stayed there through
the thirty-third. Then it switched
into the McAdoo line and was still
there on the forty-second. Prior to
the switch it had been held for Davis
as a unit by a majority Of one-seventh
of a vote, and afterward it was dis
closed that the change had come
about through the seating of a woman
alternate favoring McAdoo during the
absence of a delegate who had been
for Smith.
The Oklahoma and Missouri dele
cations also were closely divided. and
it was understood they returned to
the McAdoo fold only tentatively, in
compliance with pleas to get back and
stay for a few ballots to watch the
trend of the Californian's drive from
the inside.

EARLY MIND STUDY
URGED BY SPEAKER
Psychology Should Be Applied in
Kindergartens, Detroit Educa-
tor Tells Session.

Sound education at any age mus
children to be educated, said Heller
T. Wolley of Detroit, speaking today
before the meeting Of the department.
of kindergarten education at the
Washington Hotel.
Miss Wolley declared that edu-
Gators just are beginning to apply the
science Of psychology to the study oi
tions are taking two forms, she said
First. that of experimental re-
search. Under this head, several uni
versity centers are now working or
the establishing of psychological
forms Of accomplishment for chill
dren of the pre-school age. A few
studies are being made which consist
in trying to modify behavior under
experimental conditions.
Personality Studies Made.
"The second type of scientific ap-
proach to children's problems is that
of personality studies based on eN-
tended observations of children un-
der conditions which can be stated
This type Of investigation has much
less claim to being considered scien-
tific, but may yield some very sugges-
tive results in increasing our knowl-
edge of children's reactions and o1
the reasons for them.
Sound education at any age must
be based upon a knowledge of the
children to be educated. / can report
today on one experiment in education
of the pre-school child which at
tempts to make use of what scientific
knowledge we have. We have been
able to show that keeping children OF
pre-school age in an environment
carefully planned to further physical
growth and we'll being, mental devel-
opment and social training, bring
about measurable results The phys
ical growth of these children has
been at more than the expected rate;
their mental growth, as measured by
expectation. The intelligence quo
tients of the children in the school
have increased in most instances
Spectacular increases have occurred
in at least half of the group. Though
not measurable, we also have records
of the suppression of undesirable
habits, the development of desirable
ones and general improvement in be-
havior. If similar opportunities can
be made part of the education system,
it seems reasonable to conclude that
the result would be to improve
markedly the quality of our children.

social and mental evils which arise

DELIGHT AUDIENCE
"a Story Of Pierrot," at Wardman
Park Theater, Excellently
Acted.

If Washington audiences were ever
guilty o. stamping or bravoing, the
audience at Wardman Park Theater
probably would have used these
methods to show appreciation of the
portrayal of "A Story of Pierrot." by

Players last evening. Since these
methods ars taboo in this stately

music, expressive If not great. the
simple plot moved forward. The
dream of first love and the despair
of disillusion came across the foot
lights and was interpreted as each
spectator wished, for without words

The youth and grace of Miss
Josephine Hutchinson. in the part of
Louisette, beloved of Pierrot and de-
serted by him, are fused with an
emotional quality which reaches a
peak in the scene when Pierrot de-
clares for her his continued love, and
she, In turn, endeavors to impress on
him her hope that 1t will continue
and will grow, for soon 1t is to be

TO build near Evarts street and Rhode
Island avenue northeast. The Jacobses
reside at 2i0 A street northeast.
Walsh is charged with embezzle-

charged with false pretenses in con-
