LOCAL EDUCATORS
ATTEND ANNUAL
STATE MEETING

Valley educators have returned
ty, city, and district supcrintcndents
of schools, held at the Hotel Del
Monte October IA, and report ses-
sions of decided interest. The rural
supervisors conference was held in
conjunction with annual convention,
as was the meeting of the state
board of education and presidents
of state teachers colleges.
Attending from the valley were
II. c. Coe, county superintendent of
schools, B. M. Gruwell, district su-
perintendent of FL Centro schools
and Mrs. Lura Tyler, rural super
visor, and Harry Skinner, attend
ance supervisor, who attended the
rural supervisor conference.
An important change which will
come before the state legislature is
the plan to elect the county boards
of education by the people and the
appointment of the school superin-
tcndent, instead of his election as
heretofore. This plan drew forth
much animated discussion and when
put 20 vote the plan as a whole
was approved by the assembly.
Adjusting the curriculum to rural
needs was discussed by DR.. John
G. Almack of Stanford University.
who declared the percentage of rural
students runs high and that due CON
sidcration must be given them. The
course of study of music in rural
schools was explained by Miss Jose
phine Murray, with round table
discussion held in conjunction.
Drama Value Stressed
That education is moving toward
the needs of each individual child
and the abolishmcnt of the grading
system was the keynote Of Dir. John
Lewis Horn IS talk, who stated that
the school program should be ad-
justed to meet the needs of the ex-
ceptional children.
The value of drama in the schools
was discussed by Samuel J. Hume,
who declared that perfection in PLAYS
is not the essential matter, rs the
creation of better expression, Ian
guagc and leadership is the aim
toward which teachers should strive.
Demonstration of Mr.. Hume s
theories were given in the form of
PLAYS.
Other talks of much interest were
given by Miss Julia Hahn, who
spoke on the supervision of an ac-
tiVitV prorram in thn urinary
grades: the state program for at
tendance and child welfare, by Mrs.
Lillian b. Hill and "a Lavman

finished his work in east Side, West

Europe, visiting all of the principal
cities. He was the guest in Berlin Of
Director F. W. Bunau. When asked
in Hollywood about his trip, his only
comment was that he wished he could
have made it sooner and stayed long

his itinerary as extensive as possible,
knowing that the demands in pictures
are such that it may be several years
before he can make a return trip. The
cities in which he spent most Of his
time were Paris, Berlin, Vienna and
Budapest. His chief regret was that
he did not get the time to visit Italy

Skill of Aviator Prevents Accident

According to word received at Mil
ford Thursday Lieutenant Lockwood
Pratt, of Milford, instructor in ava
ton for the government, stationed at
the Naval Air Station at Pensacola,
Fla, had a thrilling experience early
last week when in the face of danger
he righted a plane out Of control and
prevented what might have been
disastrous fall. Lieutenant Pratt has
been instructor in aviation at the
Florida base for several years, and
lately has been experimenting IN
launching airplanes with a catapult.
In using the catapult instead Of the
usual runway, the plane is thrown
into the air with compressed air IN
order to make a flying start from a
short base. Last week when Lieut..
Pratt, seated in the control of plane
was hurled into the air by the cata-
pult his machine was thrown aloft n
an exceedingly bad position. Those
watching the maneuver could see
nothing in store for the aviator but
fall, and held their breath expect
ing the machine to crash, but Lieut..
Pratt with skill righted the plane and
sailed back to the base safely. Lieu
tenant Pratt is a son of DR.. and Mrs.

Old-F ashioned Brand of Scorching Politics

OKLAHOMA CITY. Oct. 15.-- If anyone is longing for a taste of the good old-fashioned brand of scorching politics, he has but 10 come to Oklahoma state in the final weeks of the campaign. The state is in the grip of a vast dispute over Smith and Hoover.
 Running issues are of most peppery character and embracing many recognized uncertainties. Although 1t is mid-October and both sides are predicting victory, they are both talking of shifting tides and the still silent vote which is another way of saying that no one has been quite able to fathom all that may be going on beneath the frothy surface.

CUBANS ARE
 EXCITED OVER
 U. s. ELECTION

HAVANA, Oct. 15. = Cubans have split into two we'll defined factions over the forthcoming Presidential election in the Unit ed States.
 There appears to be more gen. uine interest in the continental campaign than in the insular political situation despite the fact that Cuba is approaching it's own Presidential election. All possibility of contest in the do- nestle campaign, however, has been removed by the fact that a coalition of the three major Cuban parties makes the reelection of President Machado certain.
 The fact that both candidates have been credited in the news with favoring protection of the United States farmer, have dis turbed Cuban sugar. growers who had been hoping for reduction of the American tariff on sugar.
 There is a growing sentiment in favor of resembling the present reciprocity agreement between Cuba and the United States in the event that no move is made in Washington to lower the tariff barriers against Cuban sugar.

TARIFF MAKING
 OUT OF POLITICS
Governor Says Genera l Tariff Legislation Pro-
 notes Log Rolling

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Oct. H. Gov. Alfred E. Smith, Democratic Presidential nominee, extensively discussed the tariff in a speech here Saturday night that was en- thusiastically received by a tre- mendous crowd. He accused the Republican Party with having grossly misrepresented the Demo- cratic attitude on the tariff ques- tion, emphasizing his belief that the tariff should be taken out of politics. The Governor declared that neither the Underwood nor any other tariff bill will be in the pattern for carrying into effect the principles he set forth, and that the Democratic Party if placed in power, would be opposed to any general tariff bill.
 The Governor devoted part of his speech to an attack on Sec retary of Agriculture Jardine, who, he said, had deliberately and will fully misrepresented my views to the American people," He added with confidence, that neither labor nor industry, nor agriculture, nor business had anything to fear from Democratic suecess at the polls in NovemDer. -'
 Giving his prescription on the tariff, Gov Smith set forth nine specific points, and argued that carrying into effect the policies outlined would result in wide. spread and more equal distribu. tion of prosperity that will not be confined to any limited groups or communities, but in which all will have an equal opportunity to par ticipate."
 Nine Tariff Points
 The nine points listed were as follows:
 First, I believe the tariff should be taken out of politics and should be treated as a business and eco. homie problem. l am opposed t6 politics in tariff making.
 Second, I believe in the Demo cratic platform which recognizes that right wages and constructive policies established by Presiden Wilson and business prosperity resulting from them, in America coupled with the economic ruii of the rest of the world, brough about new condition that com mitted the Democratic Party to i; definite stand in favor of such tar if schedules as will protect legi innate business enterprises as wei as American labor from the ruin ous competition of foreign mad, goods, produced under condition far below the American standard

ROBINSON FOR
 GOVERNMENT OWNED SHIPS
Vice-Presidential Nominee Says C. O. P. Sacrificing
 Merchant Marine

SEATTLE, Oct 15.--In this far Western metropolis from which ships sail to all ports of theworld, Senator Joseph T. Rob inson, Democratic -Presiden- tial nominee, envisaged a govern ment supported merchant marine which would increase the coun- try's commercial prestige and stand as a naval bulwark in case of war.
 He declared that continuance of the Republican rule wuld see the merchant marine soon dimin- ished to the status of insignifi- canoe it occupied when the Demo- crats began to rebuild it in 1913.
 On the other hand, Senator Robinson said, the Democratic Party would build up a Govern ment supported shipping service without discrimination against any ports or sections.
 The policy of the Republican Party. Senator Robinson declared, has been to discontinue Govern ment operations and sell the American owned ships at mere nominal prices and with little assurance that they will not pass under foreign flags"
 Democrats Give Aid
 The nominee contended that the Jones' White Shipping Bill that was enacted at the last ses- sion of Congress to aid shipping was not an Administration meas ure but was put through largely by Democrats and Progressive Republicans.
 The Republican failure for fifty years to redeem platform pledges to build up an American mer- chant marine, has been glarine example of inefficiency, he said The ships already built, he said, should be kept in repair and new boats built to compete with foreign lines. He condemned the policy of selling ships, bui would improve the service. Senator Robinson showed thai the decline of American shipping began with the first Republican Administration and continued until President Wilson started ths rebuilding processes. The Repub licans. he said, began making platform pledges for building III the merchant marine in 1884 ant have continued them ever since But, he said. nothing has beer done about 1t.
