GIVEN $4,000
FOR RESEARCH
Carnegie Foundation Grant
Will Advance School
History Study.

Announcement of $4,000 grant
from the Carnegie Foundation to
the American Historical Association
for research into history and So
cial study in the schools was made
at the opening session of the forty
third annual meeting of the associa-
ton at the Claypool today.
DR.. August G. Krey of the Uni
versity Of Minnesota reported the
financial gift, in addressing the di-
vision on history and social studies
in the schools this morning.
He is chairman of the committee
which has formulated the plan for
such study.
The survey will cover at least a
f1ve-year period, DR.. Krey told his
colleagues, and the Carnegie corpo-
ration is financing the first years
work.
Three Factors Cited
"Three main factors in the pres
ent school situation make reorgani-
cation of the social studies neces-
sary," DR.. Krey declared.
First: Nearly all young people of
school age are continuing their
studies through high school, so that
secondary schools must deal with
pupils representing every mental
level.
Second: This approximately uni
versal education makes training for
effective citizenship the objective of
primary Importance in the schools.
a Third: Some way must be found
ITO provide specialized training for
those of the highest mental capac-
ity, the pre-college students, without
detracting from the efficiency of in
Struction for the great mass Of stu
dents"
This study is to be sponsored by
the American Historical Association
and representatives of other social
studies will be asked to cooperate,
he said.
Several Subjects Listed
Among them will be economics,
political science, sociology, psychol-
ogy, educational research, and edu-
cational administration.
DR.. Krey paid his respects to the
work done by "the committee of
seven" appointed by the association
thirty years ago to make a similar
study.
To-day, however, public education
has advanced four grades beyond
it's natural terminus of thirty years
ago." the speaker asserted.
This means that the high school
must deal with the whole spread of
mental ability.
Urges Intensive Training
GAS much training for effective
membership in society must be given
as it is possible to give within the
time allotted and at the same time
schools must increase the effective
ness of their work in college prep
aration."
Tentative detectives of the inves-
tigation and reorganization include
the development of perspective on
current affairs; historical minded
ness, Vocational mindedness, concern
for the common good, tolerance, So
cial orientation, and learning by ac-
tual participation.
Those associated with DR.. Krey
in drawing up the plan are John
S. Bassett, Smith college; Guy
Stanton Ford, University of Mime
sofa; Ernest Horn, University of
Iowa; Henry Johnson, Columbia
university; William E. Lingelbah,
University of Pennsylvania; L. G.
Marshall, Johns Hopkins university;
c. E. Merriam, University of Chi
cago, and Jesse H. Newton, Column
bia university.

BERLIN, Dec. 90 Q.N.S9.--
Fists. flying books and stones,
and, eventually prison bars--such
are the methods of Stains policy.
Stalinism is not afraid of employ

This condemnation of the pres

a diehard anti-Bolshevist white. but
from the reddest OF ultra-reds,

to make the party familiar with
the varying methods of execution.
Already you hear people whisper

our ranks
Gloomy Picture
Trotzky draws a gloomy picture
of conditions in Soviet Russia pre-
vailing at the time his book was
written.
"The October revolution" con.
tinues Trotzky. ''for the first time
in history. make the proletariats
the ruling class of an enormously
large country. What has been the
course of the Soviet Union in the
last few years? Has it simplified
matters, has it reduced the costs Of
the state machinery and has it ar
rived at real praletarianisation?
Has it assimilated the working
masses, urban and rural? Has 1t
contributed to bridge the gap be-
tween the ruling and the ruled? To
all these questions the answer must
be firm No.'
In an attempt to prove his charges
Trotzky describes the alarming
growth of red tape" in Soviet Rus
sia with an ever increasing stair d
government officials, who, instead
Of the proletariate itself, are run
ming the administration.
The army of officials is con-
stantly growing" he says. Off
cials consolidate themselves and rise
above the common people. They
mix and entangle with the wealthier
elements in cities and in the coGn-
try. The power OF city soviets,
formerly instrumental in winning
the cooperation of the working
masses for the administration, is
dwindling rapidly. Soviets go
through a process of transforms
ton rendering them more and more
reactionary. Their influence on
important decisions of political, eco
nomic, or cultural nature is de-
creasing more and more and they
are gradually becoming nothing bIt
a powerless dependency of execu-
tive committees. Discussions on all
sorts of problems at big Soviet
meetings are shows and nothing
but that"

IS HEIRESS TO MILLION
l3-Ycar-Old Daughter OF Maryland
Farmer Gets Doctors Estate
Court Decides.

Salisbury. Md, Sept. Is UP)-
Like "a poor girl suddenly made a
princess. Edna Jane Davy. l3-year-
old daughter OF a Richmond, Md
farmer, today was heiress to the
million dollar estate of the late DIR.
Edward E. Tull
In keeping with her almost regal
endowment. the girl inherits 2,3oo
acre estate near the eastern shore
of Maryland. 1t is acres and acres
more than her father had in the
little farm where she lived until Dr..
Tull took fancy to her and few
months before his death adopted
her.
1t all sounds like a dream to Ed
ma Jane, but the legal aspects are
secured by the final decision handed
down in Somerset county court.
When the will was read which
made Edna Jane an heiress. Louis
Tull Baker of Baltimore. and Rob-
ert Jones. half-brother of the
doctor. protested the will saying the
doctors mind was unbalanced.
However. they accepted SIS, 900
from the estate and the rest belongs
to Edna Jane except for life an
nuity of $500 a month for her sis
ter. Ruth. Is.
Both sisters are now in the Bryn
Mawr school at Baltimore. DIR. Tull
was a New York doctor before his
retirement to Maryland.

Addresses Two Gatherings
The energetic Kansan addressed
two political gatherings yesterd a
at Evansville. Ind. At a luncheon he
predicted an overwhelming G.. 0. p.
victory in November. and at a mass
meeting last night he pledged his
party to quick and effective solu-
ton OF the farm problem.
Curtis attacked Gov. Alfred E..
Smiths proposals for modification Of
the prohibition and immigration
laws.
The senator was enthusiastically
received at both of yesterdays meet
ings and seemed we'll pleased with
the reports he received from Hoosier
republican leaders.

He was not asked to speak at the

was inadvertent or intentional.
Jackson's friends obviously were
piqued.
