JUNIOR COLLEGE
 IDEA OUTLINED
School Leadefs Art Informed of
 This Plln

Boston. Mass. Feb. 2S. R-Com- plete reorga nizatton of school units in order to open wider the doors to a college education was suggested to school superintendents meeting here today.
 The plan was offered by Dr. James Madison Wood. president of Stephens college. Columbia, Mo. in an address before the department of superintendence of the National Education association. Dr. Wood approved the junior college system but suggested that it should be a four year rather than a two year school
 His plan calls for an elementary school of six years; a junior high school including the seventh. eighth. ninth and tenth grades: a four year junior college including the last two high school years and the freshman and sophomore col lege years. and the professional school offering courses beyond the junior college, Dr. Wood said that S,ephens college is conducting an experiment. in the four year junior college plan.
 Tt seems unanimously agreed" h.. said. that the secondary sys- tem should cover the eight years of adolescence, roughly from the age Of la years to the age of 20. It is believed that possible reorganiza- tion of the currlculum within the junior high school and the junior college will ultimately cause the word Junior Q be eliminated from both.
 Tt is the ambition of virtually every father and mother that the son or daughter should have the advantages of college education. Under the existing educational ma chinery, this has been reserved al- most exclusively for an intellectual or social aristocracy. Under the proposed reorganization. the liber- al arts college itself would open its doors in every community now able to maintain junior college. Through systems of consolidation, it would be brought to the doors of practically every community"

DOUBTS VALUE 0F
 HIGHER EDUCATION
Indiana University Professor
 Questions Financial Returns

Boston, Feb. 2S. Widespread opinion that higher education pays the individual financially may be incorrect, it is indicated in re- searches in the economic effects of education at Indiana university.
 Harold F. Clark. professor of edu- cational finance at Indiana uniNe'. sity, told members Of the education al Research association today that some of the results of recent re searches do not agree with the as sumption that education even on the higher levels pays the individ- ual financially.
 Studies of this question in the past" he said. "compared the earn ings of group of persons that went on to school with the earn ings of a group that did not go to school so long Such studies show cd the group that went to school longer had larger earnings i'll later life.
 However, on ths average. the group that went to school longer probably had many advantages other than the schooling. The group that went On to school longer probably came from better homes, it had better business openings, and probably was a more able group.
 l "Unless the group were equated for ability we could not accept the results from such a study.
 For some years we have been working on a study on the effects of schooling on the incomes of per sons of equal ability. Our results lead us to think that schooling on the higher levels does not increase the income of a person. The req sons for this are, first education is partly . process tf training in and increasing consumption; second, education has not been planned and has overcro Hded certain occupa- tons, thus reducing wages.
 "All our work shows education pays society. if rot the individual, and if the education were better planned In terms of the economic

cooperative education is Aowly but surely coming to be recognized as the mest satisfactory medium for preparing youth for industry" he said. 'The help which industry can give the schools in the form of equipment work and opportunity cannot be estimated and on the other hand. the help the schools can give industry. in the guidance. edu- cation and placement of youth is a service which will be of immense value to industry"
 Forbes said the advantages to the individual under the part time are maly.
 Tt enables him to enter industry at the beginning of his training and obtain first hand in- formation concerning his vocation. It teaches the individual the re- quirements which industry demands of him and robs him of any senti- mental ideas he may have of work. Lastly. it brings the individual in touch with a prospective employer to their mutual benefit"

When Frank Lockhart's flying
Black Hawk special lurched on the
sands Of Daytona Beach, Fla, spun
into the air and hurled the driver to
his death. another great racing name
was placed on the dark side of the
great sports honor roll.
Lockhart died as one Of the
greatest race drivers Of all time.
His name still adorns the record
books in p~rofusion. II was in the
attempt to add one more record, that
of the worlds fastest mile, to his
lame that he met death.
Lockhart still held 13 records,
eight of which he set at Salem, N.
c., and five at Cleveland, o., all of
them in 1927. At Cleveland, Sept.
%, Lockhart set new records for cir
cular dirt tracks at 5, %, so, rs and
100 miles. On Oct. II he made new
speedway records, regardless Of
class, at Salem, at one-quarter mile,
one-half mile, mile, two, three, four,
five and ten miles.
Thirteen records! Perhaps they
were prophetic. He was to die at
tempting the fourteenth.
Lockhart sprang into the front
rank Of racing overnight. He came
TO indianapolis in 1926 unknown,
and as a spectator at the 500-mile
classic in the big Hoosier saucer.
Someone who had seen him race
on the Pacific coast recognized the
fricndless ~23-year-old boy wander
ing about outside the speedway
grounds and found n badge for him.
This gave Frank entrance into the
speedway.
One driver was unable to compete
and Lockhart took his mount. The
boy vas a sensation. He drove the
vast crowd wild with his reckless
driving and won The race. Referee
Arthur Brisbane stopped the race
at 400 miles with Lockhart far in
the lead.
The racing world rang with Lock
hart's name. He had bested the
greatest drivers in the world in the
greatest race Of the year. After that
he ranked with Ralph DePalma, Jules
Goux, Peter De Paolo, Tommy Mil
ton, ]. p. Fettermann, Cliff Durant.
Bennett Hill. Jerry W~onderlich, Nor
mar Batten. Leon Duray, L. L. Corum
and others.
Lockhart's canny skill and his ut
ter lack Of fear made him an in
valuable man to the business Of test
ing automobile to which he lent him
self. He seemed to be unconscious
OF danger in all the fearful uproar
OF the s~peedways, with his car rock
citing along at a frightful speed over
tracks drenched in oil.
In one race at Indianapolis for
elgn drivers were astounded at his
reckless speed. European drivers are
coached TO slow down around the
curves, but Frank Lockhart liked TO
hit 'em full tilt. It meant a gain
and gains meant victory won in the
most thrilling sport Of all.
Lockhart is the last Of the great
speedway kings to die IN harness.
Bob Burman, whose records still
stand on the books, was one Of the
first.
After Burman came Arthur Thur
man, CASTOR Chevrolet, Roscoe
Sarles, who was known as the
clown Of the races" but a marvel
Gus driver at that; Joe Bower, Dario

Up Against Ruth ct

(By the Associated Press)

With three Indian scalps in their
locker, the Athletics were tuned up
Thursday for q chase after the fly
ing Yankees in what still may be
called the Koyican league race. Babe
Ruth and his fellows have been
showing signs Of again turning this
competition into a sort of Australian
pursuit, with no pursuers, but they
have not yet given the Athletics any
great quantity Of dust, for all Of
New York's outstanding Sol percent
age.
Cornelius McGiIlicuddy, tall tacti-
clan, il concentrating his efforts
upon remaining within striking dis
lance of the Yankees until next
Thursday when he hopes to begin
tucking a few defeats into the hides
of the Manhattan mauloys. Like the
recently closed series with Cleve-
land, the engagement against New
York will extend through five
games, including double headers next
Thursday and Friday and a single
game on Saturday.
The Athletics in the meantime will
be stacked up against no more for
midable opposition than the Chicago
White Sox and the Washington Sem
ators, who ought to furnish Connie
with a chance Ia bolster his stand
ing. The Yankees. meanwhile, will
feast upon the st. Louis Browns and
the Boston Red Sox.
The Red Sox incidentally are be-
coming no mean proposition. They
have won five straight. They trim
med the Tigers by 5 to 4 in eleven
innings Wednesday in one of the
only two scheduled games in the
American league. The Tigers have
dropped six straight.
The Athletics enjoyed field day
against the Indians. Cobb and Hale

Fonseca had driven one over the
fence for Cleveland, while Jimmy got
two triples and a double. All OF

and Brown embed the Athletics to
win by Is to 2. Rube Walberg won

All was quiet along the National
league front Wednesday. The sched-
ule called for games in Pittsburgh
