THE Arizona delegation consisting
of about 20 educators from the state
gave a breakfast in honor of Arizona
congressional representatives, Sena-

resentative Hayden. Senator Cam

that moral education and character
building should be taught.
The educators went on record very
strongly against interference by state
legislatures as to what shall be
taught in public schools either in
relation to science or any other of
the subjects now in courses of study.
This stand was taken as an after
math of recent legislation in Ten
nessee and the vote of southern ed
ucators was unanimous on this prop
osition.
THE health of the school child to
be promoted through health educa-
tion in the class room and through

LEAGUE DIsMAYED.

! GENEVA, March GA bomb ex>
ploding in the corridors of the pal.
ace of the league of nations could
hardly have caused more excitement
and dismay than the sudden down
| fan today of Aristide BRANDS gov.
ernment in France on the eve of
next weeks International negotia-
tions on which in a sense the future
of the league depends.
The dismay was increased by the
early report that M BRAND would
not even come to Geneva for the
pourparlors with Sir Austen Cham
berlain and the German statesmen
concerning the grave problem of re-
constructing the league council which
are to precede the opening of the
formal sessions This feeling was
allayed somewhat, however, by tho
later announcement that M. BRAND
had decided to leave for Geneva to-
night, in spite of the collapse of his
cabinet This indicates the impor.
tance attached by the French leader
to tomorrow's discussions, not only
for the future Of the league but also
for the program Of reconstruction
and reconciliation in Europe begun
at Locarno.
Although the French crisis and
the strife within the league caused
by the clamor of various countries
for permanent seats in the council
already were sufficient to occupy
public interest new and disturb-
ing element crept into the situation
tonight to give added anxiety to the
friends of the league. In the recent
attitude of China and Turkey in con-
nection with league affairs, those
friends now see the influence of boil
shevik Russia. China, like Poland,
Spain and Brazil, has requested elec,
tion to a permanent seat on coun-
ell, but going further than them,
has officially filed a demand for
such a seat.
China specifically declares that she
wants permanent place "in case
the council is enlarged" which is
interpreted here to mean that even
if the enlarg gement includes no other
nations than Germany, China will
stick to the righteousness of her de-
mand. as7'le
Officials of the league said to.
night that they see in the Chinese
move a threat of withdrawal from
the league in the event that her de-
mand is refused. They fear thai
Moscow, whose influence in China is
increasing, is melting Peking to push
on with this demand, hoping that
this will result in China's with
Gtawal from the Geneva institution
and a consequent risem1of bolshevik
influence in Asia.

tic Association at the Augusta House.

that commercial flying offered the
big opportunities in aviation in the
future, and that Maine as a State
had the greatest opportunities of the
northeast.
He pointed out four ways in which
the state of Maine chapter could
promote aviation. First, by actively
supporting the Bingham bill now be-
fore congress for the supervision and
regulation of flying in the United
States; second, by aiding in the es-
tablishment of airways with land
ing fields and markers; third.
through the support of air mail and
freight business such as that of the
Maine Aerial Sevrice. Inc; fourth,
through the development of pas
senger plane business, which would
in the speakers opinion be the great.

1t is in the establishment and de-
velorment of an airplane passenger
service that Mr.. Holcombe believes
that Maine has wonderful oppor-
tunity. He pointed out that the fly
ing time from New York to Bar Har-
Dor is about four hours and that the
establishment of an air passenger
service would leave that resort and
