missioner of education, John J. Tig-
ert, spoke to the student body and
toWnspeople. Mr.. Tigert outlined his
program for the improvement of the
schools of the United States under
five heads. The first fundamental is
that an adequate health program
should be put ON in every school.
Some provisions should be made for
the cultural education Of the people,
Americans lack Of culture showing
in poor literature, tawdry shows, and
general lack of appreciation for any
thing except the dollar Education"
said Mr.. Tigert, "was originally in
tended for the few--the clergy and
the gentry. If we are to give it to
the many as | think we should, an
adequate system of vocational prepa-
ration must be a part of our educa-
tional SYSTEM"
Citizenship training is one of the
essential elements Of our national
life, according to DR.. Tigert, and one
that should receive more attention
than it does in most Of our schools.
1t is only through the training for
citizenship chat the nation can hope
TO survive.
Last on his program was the train
ing Of character After showing
some of the results Of no character
training in the schools, and stating
that he believed that there should be
no religious training as such in the
schools, Dr. Tigert presented his So
luton of the, problem. 1t was that
the school should cooperate with the
churches in the religious instruction
of their pupils so that the pupil
should receive some religious training
III the church Of his choice. In sup
port of this he cited several commun-
tiles in which the experiment is being
successfully tried.
Mrs. Ina Richards spent the week
end with friends in Gallup.

Mrs, Coolidge Responds to Out

Paul Smiths N. Y, July 29 LP- The out of door life which the President and Mrs. Coolidge are leading at White Pine camp holds many pleasures for the first lady of the land.
 When her husband goes to the executive offices she finds her time taken by the numerous activities available in the wilderness park that surrounds the summer White House.
 Mrs. Coolidge is particularly fond of swimming and when the weather is fair she enjoys a dip, a custom she followed last summer at Swampscott. Mass, on the seashore. Although Osgood lake is spring fed, the water near the beach is not uncomfortable and on many hot afternoons she enjoys a good swim in the little cove before the camp.
 The fleet of five boats with which White Pine camp is equipped also offers diversion to Mrs. Coolidge. She spends considerable time on the dock and in the boathouse, reading or exercising the white collies, Rob Roy and Prudence Prim, which have not tired of chasing saucy red
