AMERICAN EXPORTS

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, May 25-Foreign economic
opinion, reflected in commercial jour-
nails of Asia. South America. Europe
and the British dominions. appears in
creasingly spellbound by the American
panorama
An examination of the available
data" says the London Economist. "sug-
geSts that American manufactured ex-
ports so far have been merest wave
lets compared with the tide that is to
come"
Trade statistics compiled by the New
York Trust Co. are a vest pocket
snapshot of the situation that is causing
industrial leaders abroad to take stock
of the future.
In the early years of the century. for
example, crude materials and crude
foodstuffs constituted 42.5 per cent of
the total exports from the United
States. In 1928 this figure dropped to
Bis per cent.
In contrast. exports of manufactured
and semi-manufactured products were
averaging 35.3 per cent of the total eX-
ports back in 1901. the statistics show
This figure had grown to SOL per cent
in 1928.

LONDON, May 25-The recent
attack of c. H. Cahan. Conservative,
ST. Lawrence-St. George. Quebec. on
the conduct of the I'm Alone nego-
tiations in the House of Commons at
Ottawa is provoking comment in Lon
don.
The Nation. a weekly Liberal review,
says: mo good can be done and much
harm may be done by such utterances
as those of C. H. Cahan. who describes
the sinking of the I'm Alone as either
an act of war or deliberate piracy.
The real object with which Mr.
Cahan raised the question became clear
when he went on to criticize the Cana
dian diplomatic protest as giving away
too much to the United States He was
out to discredit the government at all
costs. Hitherto all parties concerned
in the question have kept their heads
and tempers admirably. Premier Mac
Kenzie Kings reply should prevent any
disturbance of the atmosphere by Mr..

RAILROADS achieve
GAIN IN EFFICIENCY

PITTSBURGH, May 25.-An analysis
of the earning power of the country's
50 leading railroads, prepared by the
Standard Statistics Co. of New York,
shows the results of year of intense
effort by railroad authorities to increase
operating efficiency.
Fifty Of the companies report new
high records for the number of cars
hauled per train last year: A of them
increased their gross train loads. and 36
made new high scores in the net load
per train.
Twenty roads made new highs in dem
sity of traffic. Most of these gains we're
recorded in the West and Middle West.
Comparing one road with another. the
analysis puts Texas e. Pacific at the
top of the list with new high records

Early Inhabitants Raised
Half of Food Now Used
In Modern America.

More than half the foods OF
modern Americans come from vege.
tables that were cultivated by the
Indians of Central America, before
the coming of Columbus.
The early Indians of California,
seventeen tribes of them, made
their early food of acorns which
they ground into meal and filtered
in little sand pits TO get rid of
the bitterness. They had no pot
terry. but made proof baskets
like the cup of an acorn.
The Indians of the plains made
almost everything they needed
from the horns, hide and bones
of the buffalo, while they ate his
tough steaks.
Professor Fay-Cooper Cole of the
University of Chicago called these
facts more than mere chances, In
his discussion of Culture Areas in
Pre- Columbus America" before the
American Historical Association at
the Claypool Monday.
He sought to show how customs
among the original Americans grew
ont of their surroundings and be-
came lasting cultures which were
very difficult to change.
THE various culture areas such
as the acorn basket district of Cali
fornia rarely change except at the
edges, where there is outside con-
tact" Professor Cooper said, and
that is poor contact because all Of
the border peoples are weak. But

Progress of 1923 viii Be

Miller Says.

city superintendent of schools, in
his year-end message today to In
dianapolis school officials
Local schools have Kept pace
this year with the rapid progress in
education made throughout the ma
ton, and we must not slacken the
stride" he said.
A detailed report of all depart
ments was made in the review.
"Our board of school commission
ers has manifested great interest in
providing adequate facilities for the
various types of children in our
community. Regular -choools for
the majority, special schools Of
many kinds for few; but a school
| for everyone where Individual chill
dren may find an outlet for their
abilities-that is the fundamental

Over Crowding a Menace
The report points out that zoos
teachers and other officials have
charge of daily average of 50,332
pupils.
1.-THE management of this large
group is thoroughly excellent, in
volving high degree of co-opera
ton between the board Of school
commissioners and those who carry
on the work in the boards name
On the building program, the re-
port states: "Over- crowded schools
are a menace to desirable objectives
in an educational program, and we
have started on a building program
to relieve congestion"
Several new grade schools have
been opened in the four sections of
the city and additions have been
made to several others. The new
Shortridge high school opened this
month was cited as a precedent in
the school building field. Several
portable schools have been replaced
with permanent structures.
1.-THE erection of new high schools
in Broad Ripple and Irvington is
being studied, and three new grade
schools are being planned.
Change Grading
"These additions have been forced
by an increased enrolment from
52,9S5 in June, 1927, to 55,017 in De-
cember, 1928. The enrolment in
crease of more than 1000 represents
a population increase of about 10
per cent. The problems presented
by this increase have not been
wholly financial"
Work of the social service depart
ment was pointed out. "In the past
the school work was established,
and the child either passed or failed.
The situation gradually has been
changed Attempts now are being
made to adjust the course of study
to the needs of the children; the
faulty of the old regime was a GER
tain inf1exibility of the curriculum.
Research work is being for
warded each day. G. C. Underwood,
director of elementary education, is
surveying systems in other cities in
an effort to determine the exact
status of the indianapolis schools.
"A point in this forward step is
the operation of the social service
and research departments for ex-
ceptional children. Special instruc-
