HOOVER PLEASED
AT ATTITUDE OF
PARTY LEADERS
Hopeful Farm Relief May
Be Passed At Short
Session.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

PALO ALTO, Calf. Nov. l6. -
President-clect Hoover is pleased
with reports from Washington that
congress, at its coming short ses-
sion, may enact a farm relief pro-
gram adequate for immediate re-
lief, thus obviating the necessity of
an extra session after March !.
Hoover promised an extra session
in the closing days Of his presiden-
tial campaign, unless adequate re
lief was afforded during the short
winter session, which at that time
seemed improbable. Now, however,
it appears Secretary of Agriculture
Jardine and Senator Charles McNarN
of Oregon, co-author of the Me Nary
Haugen bill, are likely to reach an
agreement on legislation along lines
laid down by the president elect and
that McNary and other farm leaders
will press relief measures.
Establishment of stabilizatlon
corporations constitutes the heart of
Hoover's farm relief program which
provides likewise for tariff increases
of agricultural products and further
aid to cooperative marketing.
Prepare for Trip
If congress at the short session
meets his views insofar as to pass
measure setting up stabilization
corporations, thus establishing ma
chinerv to aid the farmer in market.
ing next year 5 crop, he will not call
an pXtr9 session
This will leave him free to plan
during the several months before
the new congress regularly assemblies
in December, 1929, other measures
for aid of agriculture on a long time
basis, including tariff increases,
further aids to cooperative market
ing and inland waterways.
The president elect completed
packing today for his South Amer
lean tour. Trunks and boxes carry
ing his and Mrs. Hoover S effects
were loaded aboard trucks and cart
ed to the station, to be shipped to
San Pedro and there put aboard the
battleship Maryland which sails
Monday.

EDUCATORS OF
COUNTRY MEET
FOR CONFERENCE
'Who Should Be Educat-

For Discussion.
BY FOSTER EATON
United Press Staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Nov. 1G.-Prob-
ably the outstanding educational
problem Of the country is who
and how long to educate" spokcs,
men of five great American univcr-
sitics said here today.
They were the deans Of Harvard,
Chicago, California, Nirginid and
Toronto universities, here attending
the annual convention of the Asso-
ciation Of American Universities.
Mass education of the American
type, they indicated in interviews
with the Cnited Press, is producing
a dcplorablc crop of 'misfits' who
might better enter business.
The solution, they said, lies in
sterncr qualifications for advance
mcnt beyond the sophomore year in
college. Students who enter only
- for athletics and the life should
be weedcd out at that point.
cit is mquestionablv the out
standing probfcm,' said Dean
George II. Chase Of Harvard. "Wc
think, of course, there is much tc
be said for the university as We
know it, but no doubt practical
technical schools into which such
students could be guided should be
developed. :
Praises Junior Colleges
Dean Gordon J. Lain1 of Chicago
Graduate School of Arts and Letters
believes the junior college may be
the solution.
"Under such plan,' he said
"the university proper would con
sist only of the last two years OF
college work. Before that point Is
reached comprehensive test should
be given so that only those students
really interested iii their studies
would survivc.o
Junior colleges already are making
themselves felt in this direction, ac
cording to Dean a. 0. Leuschncr of
the University of California.
"Therc has been noticeable de
crease in freshmen and sophomore
entrants, he said, land strangely
a larger increase in junior and senior
and graduate school enrolment, Will
raising of the level of all.
"The problem really goes beyonC
the student s mere desire for an edu
cation,' said Dean John Calvin
Metcalf of Virginia University
1--WE must reduce the quantity and
increase the quality.''
