with Pride Of Ownership

The owner Of a De Soto Six has a sound basis
for his pride of ownership-he il driving exactly
the car he wants to drive-a Chrysler.built car.
Cars of lower price attracted him not at all He
knows they lack many of his essential demands.
And he didn't need to buy a more expensive
car because he found complete satisfactiOn-
full realization of his personal standards of per-
Torrance, comfort, economy and durability
in the De Soto Six.
Here is a that is literally built to order for
those whose budgets are not unlimited-=-a car
that even the most discriminating motorist can
own without either sacrificing his pride or
straining his pocketbOok.
Before deciding on your purchase, give the
Chrysler-built De Soto Six your most critical
inspection. You will find all the advantages
and comforts, all the zestful driving, and all
the pride of ownership that are associated in
your mind only with cars of much higher price

CHARACTER PLACED
FIRST IN EDUCATION
Bingham, in Address, Urges
Careful Training in Duties
of Citizenship.

II a republic neglects the careful
training of its citizens for the duties of
citizenship, then it disregards the duty
of self-preservation, Senator Bingham
of Connecticut declared in an address at
the dedicatory exercises OF the new NC
Kinley High School at Second ana L
streets northeast last night. Senator
Bingham, Dr. Abram Simon and Dis
trict Commissioner Sidney F. Taliafdrro
the other speakers, were introduced by
Supt. of Schools Frank w. Ballou, who
presided.
Senator Bingham said that aim of
public education should be the develop
ment of a sturdy, self-reliant citizenry
and stated that the aim Of good public
schools should not be the acquisition of
knowledge, but the development of
character.
ut is worthy of note" declared the
speaker, that the present President OF
the United States and his immediate
predecessor, both of whom are particu-
as able citizens, were trained in public
larly admired for their strong character
schools of the old fashioned sort, and
later in the affairs of citizenship, both
proved more successful than millions of
their contemporaries whose public
school education was, from the point OF
view of the professional pedagogue and
educator, far more modern and salts
factory"
Praises One Room School.
Senator Bingham in referring to the
