Teachers should be trained in the
science Of school administration that
they may successfully cope with Pc

Boyd d. McKeown, dean Of Nc

continuous study and is one deserv-
ing special consideration in the light

The school administrator meets

Theater ushers are vigorously

Keown recited. yet the worst that
could happen II the usher failed to
react rightly in a given situation
would be the loss of more or less
patronage. The school administrator,
however, the Dean said, holds in his
handse the destines Of many people
and "his successful handling of a
problem Of human relationship may
do untold good while a mistake may
spell the direct tragedy in one or
more lives"

ARANSASPORT
NOT FAVORED
Schley Says 30-Foot
Project Not War
ranted Now
Especial to The Heraid.)

CORPUS CHRISTI, Oct. 27.-An
unfavorable report on the 30-foot
channel project at Port Arkansas has
been made by Lieut. Col. J. L. Sehley,
district engineer with offices at CAL
weston, according to information re-
ceived here.
The principal reason for the adj
verse conclusion was given as the
belief that present and prospective
commerce does not justify an in
crease in the channel depth, and that
further consideration Of a 30-foot
project should await further develop
ment Of commerce.
The project under consideration was
a deepening of the channel between
the jetties at Port Arkansas from
the Gulf entrance 70 the inner har-
gor, a distance Of about two miles.
Colonel Schley conducted a hear
ing here last August on the project,
which was supported by the Nueces
county navigation commission, and
other interests.
