"Miss Cora A. Lau was appointed
Assistant County Club Leader corr
plotting five and one-half months
work, for which the state assisted in
taking care of most of the salary.
This made it possible for the All
Club program to continue and to make
normal growth this year.
Zone of the greatest problems of a
County Agent is to maintain an active
organization and working force in
each of the twenty-siX townships, and
in each of the twelve towns, and III
each of the commercial clubs in the
county, as well as scores of other Or
CARNATIONS. 1t takes much fuel in
thought and wind of inspiration at
the forge of an extension worker in
a continuous flow the year around to
keep the irons of human effort hot
for the upbuilding of community CO.
operation, education, and advance
ment. In spite of continual drive
for 280 days and one hundred and
ninety-two nights at pounding the
iron of humanity, that sometimes is
cold and immalleable, digging out the
clinkers or the dormant ones who
absorb the heat but refuse to radiate,
and adding the acid which clears the
metal of human thought SO that
groups of people may be welded to-
gether for advancing the cause Of
the home and the farm, some COM
munities become inactive because the
persons left to push the bellows and
heap on the coal are seized with in
ertia and the fire, once aglow, must
be rekindled out of the embers, and
built up until the warm spirit of CO.
operation shall again radiate new
life, new hope, new vision, and succ-
eSS.

MUTTON DEFENDS
NAVAL ACADEMY
Superintendent Declares
There Is No Need for Sur
vey by Commission.

The Navy Department last night
made public letter from Rear Ad-
miral l.. NJ. Mutton, superintendent of
the Annapolis Naval Academy de-
Tending the institution and taking the
position that there is no need for the
creation of a commission to make d
survey of the academy.
The letter, addressed to the Navy
Department, was in reply to one
recently drafted by DIR. j. r. Angel.
president of Yale University and chair
man of the board of visitors of the
Naval Academy in 1928, who had asked
the department what section had been
taken regarding the 1923 boards
recommendation that a commission of
prominent educators and naval officers
be appointed to make a broad survey
of the academy.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-03-26
Disapproved BY Mutton.

This recommendation, the CORE
sRondence reveals, was disapproved
by Admiral Mutton for the reason that
he does not believe there is any
necessity for the creation of such a
commission
Secretary Wilbur, commenting on
the recommendation, said there were
fundamental objections to the com,
mission plan.
IF there is any commission appoint
ed" he said, ''it ought to be to
examine universities where they have
no adequate control over their men
and no very great control over their
curriculum.
