contrasted reactions-flrst, among

MAYORS TO MEET,
POLICE HEADS TOO
Will Consider BrOadCaSting
Crime Clues Oyer VITO

Hartford, Conn, July 81 GP -
Mayor Stevens and Chief of Police
Farrell have received invitations
from Harris Whittemore. jr.. war
den of the board of trade of Naug-
atuck. asking them TO attend a
meeting TO be held in the old SEN
ate chamber of the state capitol
August 4 to discuss the broadcast
ing of essential information in case
of major crime. The chiefs Of
police Of IS cities and towns OF the
state have been invited to this con-
ference which will also be attended
by representatives of the Travellers
Insurance company broadcasting
station. VITO. The meeting is
scheduled to begin at 1880 a. m.
daylight time and following the
meeting there will be buffet
luncheon.
Governor Trumbull has been con-
suited regarding the conference and
has signifed his interest in the
proposal and a desire to cooperate.
1t was at his suggestion that the
meeting was called in the state
capitol.
Mr.. whittemore says In his let
ter: "I believe that wireless in this
connection has great future and
the generous attitude of the Off
Gals of station VITO gives the
state of Connecticut an opportunity
to lead in an experiment of this
Sort
1.-The purpose Of this meeting, "
writes Mr.. Whittemore, 'is to dis
cuss the practicability of co-opera-
ton by wireless in case of major
crime, such as bank robbery or
kidnapping, between the police de-
partments of the larger cities and
towns in the state OF Connecticut"
1t is probable that other methods
OF communication between the po-
lice departments of various places
in this state will also be discussed
at the conference. 1t has been pro-
posed that electrically operated
writing machines be installed in the
various police stations and connect
ed by a telephone wire so that the
police in any town or city in the
system could Immediately write tc
all the others. The practicability OF
such a system as contrasted with
the installation of radio sets in the
police departments has already
been considered by officials inter-
ested in the prompt dissemination
of crime information in his state.
At the present time the Travellers
radio station broadcasts news o.
crime when requested to do so b!
the police officials of this or othe,
cities.

BETTER INSTRUCTORS
FOR RURAL SECTIONS
Oyer-Abundance OF Teachers Gives
High Schools Superior Forces.

The personnel of the high school
teachers in Delaware this year Will
be the best the state has ever en-
loved. according to John ShllHng'
assistant in charge of high schools
of the State Department OF PuDlc
instruction.
This is due, Mr.. Shilling states
because of the over-abundance of in
structors this year.
"I have had the largest number Oh
anplications for teachers this sum
mer of any year since l have been
connected with the public school
system in this state" said Mr.. Shll-
ling.
"Usually it has been difficult to
obtain efficient instructors, but that
condition is changed. Four years
ago. when the present batch OF can
didates for teachers began their
training, teachers were in demand
and the position of an instructor was
attractive. AS things are now, now
ever. there are more teachers than
Jobs, and, consequently, only the
most competent are placing them-
selves"
According to Mr.. Shilling, not on
1v will the morale of the high schools
of rural Delaware be OF hlgher
standard this year, but he doesnt
expect as much of turnover be-
cause of this condition as has been
the case in other years. Teachers
who have jobs this year Will not De
able TO assume as Independent an
attitude as they have in the past, but
will he satisfied for the time DelnS
at least to hold their present POSI-
tion. They can understand that they
must produce as near 100 per cent
as possible, or else someone else
will have their job.

CHILDREN PRAISED,
PARENTS CENSURED
Teachers Declare Pupils Have Many
VirtueS-Say Fathers and Mothers
Are Neglectful.

Boys and girls in the high schools
may be lazy, but also they have many
virtues. Their parents, however, are
showing a growing tendency to be
shirkers.
Thus, once more, a group of teach
ers attending the summer sessions
of the University of Pennsylvania
School of Education at a symposium
on secondary education Joined in
praise of modern youth. The teach
ers represent schools in fourteen
States.
Frankness, the educators agreed,
was the outstanding virtue of the
younger generation. Initiative and a
spirit of cooperation were set down
as the next important among the
excellent qualities of the pupils.
An emphatic mo" was the re-
sponse to the question if the oft-re-
peated charge was true that modern
boys and girls are "flippant, rebel
lious against discipline and tradition
and lacking in serious purpose"
Ninety-five per cent of the educa-
tors agreed that the parent of today
is showing too great a tendency to
shift the burden of child-training
from the home to the school. The
reasons given for that tendency were
not flattering to the fathers and mo-
theirs.
The parents are giving too much
attention to interests outside the
home, according to the majority oi
speakers at the symposium. Social
activities and politics are divertins
their interests from more immediate
duties. Bridge clubs bore a large
share of the attack.
