FRANKLIN SCHOOL
 OPEN ID PUBLIC
N. xadih Addresses Gather. ing Of M 1t Dedication

Congratulations to the city of New Britain on it's school buildings which make possible flexible sys- tenn adapted to progressive educa- tional needs were voiced by State Education Commissioner Albert B. Meredith, last evening at the dedi- cation of the Benjamin Franklin school on Clinton street. With it's hindcrgartens. elementary. junior ard senior high schools and its affil- iation with the state trade school the system is effectively able to meet the needs of its youth. the speaker said.
 'The modern school is so con- structed as to conform with the cd ucational practices to be carried on rather than forcing adaptation of the curriculum to the plant" Mir. Mere dth continued. And curriculum made possible by such modern plant grows out of the interest and tctiyity of the children. The school seeks to give children experience and through experience they learn. Chii- ,.ren should know the multiplication table. 10 be sure. but they should be enabled 10 apply it 10 affairs of im- mediate interest. Likewise children should be taught reading for the meaningfulness of what they read. thereby broadening experience. The social life of. the school and the playground with it's games are sim ;larly part of an effective curri- rulum.
 Tt is not primarily what the teacher teaches but what the pupil learns that counts. The teacher should above all seek to give the motive for learning. And the mod crn elementary school leads with childhood as a. stage in human growth and seeks to develop poten- tialities for learning new truths. Tho question of individual differ ences and tastes among pupils must be considered. especially in the up- per grades. and the child must be treated as a seeker for knowledge rather than as q member of group to whom a stipulated supply of cold storage information is to be given. Through activity there is de veloped a basis for real child inter- est and it is the duty Of the modern teacher to guide into proper chan nels those things which children want to do anyway"
 President P. r. King of the New Britain school board. was chairman of the assembly Of 500 which occu- pied all the available room in the schools auditorium. He introduced Dr. Myers. supervisor of the state training schools. Supt. Stanley H. Holmes of the school department, and Chairman Joseph NJ. Halloran of the school accommodations com- mittee.
 Supt. Holmes suggested that the school organize d parents and teachers association and when he concluded. Mrs. Aitkin. one of the rarents. made a motion that a com- iiit;ee be appointed 10 prepare list If officers and present them at d ;.G"n;,ng 10 be held on March ,.

Kellogg treaty, would not NEEDLE
in her affairs.
Observers see in this episode a
foretaste OF what may be expected
in similar international crises in
the future. On the other hand, j.
is pointed out that the pact's in
luence is exclusively moral and that
the act of the powers in invoking
it in the case of Russia and China
already has served q useful pur-
pose by bringing the world opinion
to bear upon the nations involved.
British, French and European
opinion, generally, dissents from
this view. While the value of pub
lie opinion in crises like this is in
disputable, they hold, it necessarily
will not prevent war. Something
stronger is needed and that some
thing they expect to get from the
League of Nations, which sanctions
the use of economic blockades or,
in extreme cases, actual force to
subdUe an outlaw nation.
Foreign observers already are
calling attention to the difference
between the Kellogg pact and the
League of Nations and inevitably
the former suffers in the compari-
son. The Soviet rebuff has done
the Kellogg pact little good.

SOVIET REBUFF
TOU. S. SLAP AT
KELLOGG PACT
First Actual Test of Treaty
Shows its Flaws, Simms
Points Out.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIAIMS
= ScrIpDs- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The first
actual test of the Kellogg pact, out
having war, has come and it has
been found wanting.
Soviet Russias singing rebuff to
the United States for invoking the
pact of peace TO prevent a Chinese
Soviet war in Manchuria, leaves
this country powerless to do more
than accept it with such grace as
may be, or perhaps risk another,
face-Saying shot at Moscow.
What else, it is asked, can
America do? AS one of the sigma
tories of the pact, it has suggested
in a very friendly way TO both Rus
STA and China that they refrain
from further hostilities and settle
their quarrel amicably.
China, it seems, received the note
in the spirit in which it was sent,
but Russia, bristling all over, char
acteriZed the move as unfriendly,
and accused the United States of
unwarranted interference and use
Of undue pressure at a time when
peace negotiations were underway.
The incident reveals the very
weaknesses which we're pointed out
from the beginning. Both Russia
and China claim they never have
acted save in self defense, and Rus
STA observes that. under the pact,
she is entitled so to act.
Still another weakness was indi-
Gated by Russia's query as to the
source of Americas authority to
mix in the matter at all. Who, she
wants to know, gave the United
States or any other power the au-
thority to act as protector of the
kellogg pact? Not Russia, she de-
clares, for she never has given her
consent to any nation or group of
nations taking upon themselves any
such right.
So, she concludes in effect. she
would prefer 1t if America, and the
ether nations reminding her of the

No danger Is threatened TO grape

There Is no cause to be alarmed at

MY forecast says that heavy frost
are likely If the weather clears, with
temperatures possibly touching free

temperature will not 60 low enough
to endanger the citrus, although
tender truck crops would suffer
some damage
If clouds continue hanging over
the Valley. as was indicated by gen.

AUSTIN. Tex. Nov. 22- The
largest crowd ever to watch the
Brownsville Screaming Eagles in
action began pouring into the Tex
as Memorial stadium Friday after
noon.
It was estimated from 1000 70
10000 fans would be In the stand
before the whistle blew for the
kickoff In the tilt for the district
championship against the Austin
High Maroons. At first 1t was fear
ed that wet grounds and a cold
north wind would curtail the pass
ing attacks OF both squads, but the
wintry blast from the north dried
off the field somewhat.
Passes Planned
Coach Doug Fessenden had plann-
ed to use passes to large degree
against the Austin gridSters. IL
was probable that the Maroons
would use waiting wings to stop the
Eagle reverses, double reverses and
spins. This would lay the Capitol
city crew open to q short passing
attack. Consequently the blizzard
like blast. which dried off the field.
was a definite break for the Browns
vile eleven. Austin's chief stock IN
trade also is an aerial punch. She
has q brace of elongated Wingmen
who snatch the oval with provision,
and every man in the backfield Is
capable Of tossing the pigskin ac-
curately. The grid wise acres were
looking for an out and out aerial
game.
The thermometer was well down
around the 40 mark Friday morn
ing and there was no indication
that the mercury would rise before
game time. A thin coat Of mud.
from q slow drizzle throughout the
night, was in evidence on the field.
