Vanilla Growing
Again in Tahiti

Papeete, Tahiti. Jan. 16-(A. P. by
MaiD-The recent high prices for
vanilla beans have stimulated a re-
newal of vanilla culture in Tahiti and
the adjacent islands.
For some years past the growing
of vanilla on most Of the islands has
been impossible because of blight,
introduced from the island OF Re
union, which destroyed the flourish
ing plantations formerly existing.
An agricultural expert called in by
the government pronounced 1t I'M
possible to eradicate the blight eX-
cept by destroying all vanilla plants
then existing, and ceasing from re-
planting for a period Of eight years.
While these recommendations
were not carried out to the extent OF
searching out and burning every
vanilla plant infected. period OF
more than eight years has elapsed
without any serious attempt at Va
nilla culture. Now experimental
planting has demonstrated that the
virulence of the blight has abated
so far that profitable planting again
Is possible.

Parents Sought
To Solve
School Problems

Chicago, Feb. 21-(By "A. ID-li
the school is to accomplish anything
more than the transmission Of tech
meal knowledge from one generation
to another, the existing attitude OF
indifference toward the child's edu-
cation must give way to the realiZa-
ton that the visit of the parent to
the school is an opportunity, Mrs.
Edith Z. Bristol, dean OF girls at
Soldan High school. st. Louis. told
members of the National associa-
ton of Deans of Women, in conven-
ton here today.
Educators alone cannot direct the
mind of the child in the prope chan
nels, technically and socially" Mrs.
Bristol said. I'VE must realize that
preoccupation with school affairs
tends to keep us from envisaging
the community which we serve. Our
teaching of single subjects endangers
the main object Of education. rearing
well informed and useful citizens to
carry on the worlds affairs. II we
can see the futility of too much faith
in our single handed methods. we
shall make use of the criticisms ex-
pressed by parents, tc build up n
better mutual understanding and to
encourage democratic participation
in community life"
In discussing the duties of parents
and teachers in relation to schools,
Mrs. Bristol urged more visits by
parents and an active interest in
school life, both educationally and
socially.
1.-THE teachers need the suggestions
furnished by the parents as much as
the parents need them to give the
child technical education. The
dean can be the connecting link be-
tween the teacher and the parent and
on her depends the success OF the
school. To bring fruitful relations
between the school and commun-
ity, which results in raising the
standards of civilization among the
younger generation. Is one of the
many problems confronting educa-
tors.
