Washington Teachers Prince,

(By Dispatch a. P. wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Various
aspects of school problems occupied
the attention of educators in a num-
Der Of group meetings held here to-
day as part of the convention of the
department of superintendence of the
national association and tonight they
heard an address by President Cool
idge, which was broadcast over the
country through the WEAF chain of
radio stations.
A wide range of problems came
under discussion in the meetings of
the groups, which included the city
teacher training school section, de-
partment of deans of women, depart
ment of elementary school principals,
department Of rural education; edu-
cationaI research association, national
association of high school inspectors
and supervisors, the national assoc
iation of secondary school principals.
and the national society of college
teachers of education. Possible re-
vision of school curricula, the build
ing of new headquarters for the
association here as q temple of edu~
cation, and the attitude of the organ
ization toward establishment of 4
new federal department of education
stood out prominently among the
problems confronting the convention.
Frank o. Lowden, former governor
of Illinois, told the general confer
ence at it's opening session that IlV-
ing conditions on the farm must be
brought to parity with city home
conditions in order to stem the tide
of the country population moving

fRH pispatch 4. p. Wiral

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The Countess
of Cathcart today turned the tables,
at least temporarily, on government
officials. While she was enjoying
the sights Of New York City, harried
officials spent most Of the holiday
consulting on the status of her case.
United States District Attorney
Suckner, one of the consulting oIfi-
cials, considered that the countess
passed from the jurisdiction of the
federal courts back to that of the
immigration bureau of the depar1-
ment of labor, when she signed
personal bond last night for her liu-
erty for ten days. This made it un-
necessary, he said, to hold the sched-
uled hearing in federal court tomor-
row on the writ of habeas corpus.
The announcement that there would
be no habeas corpus hearing was
made by Buckner after, he and two
Of his assistants had conferred fol
an hour and half with Assistant
Solicitor Retisler of the labor de-
partment
'The hearing tomorrow is off,
Buckner said. "The matter is now
back in the Jurisdiction Of the labor
department. 1t was explained that
the countess could stay here for ten
days, forfeit her bond by not re-
turning to Ellis Island, be arrested
on a warrant, returned to Ellis Is,
land and then, perhaps, be released
on another writ of habeas corpus.
While the officials were occupied
with their problem the countess was
enjoying her temporary liberty at
tending luncheon at the Ritz-Carl-
ton hotel receiving visits from
f1iends and sightseeing in New York.
She maintained that she was deter
mined to flight to the finish"
