Seek to Ascertain If
Continents Are lVOUing
Especial to The Dispatch)

MEXICO CITY, Nov.9.-Special sig
nails are being eXchanger between the
astronomical observatories of the world
daily in an effort~to ascertain whether
or not the theory that the continents
are moving is true, according to JOa-
quin Gallo, director of the astronomi-
cal observatory at Tacubaya. The sig
nails are exchanged at the hour when
it is customary for, the various obser-
vatories to exchange observations on
time.
Director Gallo stated that SO far the
data collected had not been sufficient
to enable observers to draw accurate
and definite conclusions. He stated,
however that the work now being
doney when compared and compiled,
would prove of greae value and might
prove or disprove the theory of move
ment of the continents.
He pointed out that it was impossi-
BILE to work this matter out by any
methods but the astronomical, and by
the careful and continuous cooperation
of observatories all over the world be-
cause of the very slow movement, if
there is any, and because of the great
masses involved.

only teachers for small village and
country schools but also an en-
larged teaching staff for the agrlcui-
tural schools so that they will be

particularly in the outlying districts,
to induce them to obey the laws on
education and to send their children
to school. A more strict enforcement
Of the truancy laws is also planned
The department states that it has
no intention of relieving the states
and the local authorities of their
Cbligat.on to maintain schools and TO
see that the truancy laws are en-
forced 1T is merely the intention OF
the department to supplement the
work Of the local authorities with
federal assistance to the end that the
thousands of children who do not
now go 10 school because of lack Of
teachers or proper buildings may be
able to do SO.
