SCHOOL PROGRESS

"A new "deskess schoolroom has been tried success
fully in some classes in Cleveland o. schools and is
being advocated for all children from kindergarten
through the sixth grade.
The new schooroom takes on the appearance of
conference room and pupils do their arthemetic geo.
graphy and other lessons groups of four or five dis
cussing their problems business and professional
men and women do theirs
This plan looks promising. There is no reason why
boys and girls should not be trained in method which
they will later follow in the business world
Little Johnny should be trained to consider his as
sociate pupils views.
Students have been treated as though they were
something set apart from ordinary human beings At
ter ALL education is intended equip them to cope with
the problems they will meet in dealings with other men
and women, and this training should begin early
One of the chief objects education is to teach chill
dren to think actively and what could possibly stimu-
late thought more than discussion of problems with
other children, under the expert guidance of capa

PROBE NECESSARY

There may not be vestge of truth in the charge
made by entrants in the Womens Air Derby of sabo-
tage committed their planes while they were at San
Bernardino last Sunday but notwithstanding, a
sweeping investigation should be made by the depart
ment of commerce to the truth falsty of the
charge.
At least three of the entries made the claim that
persons had tampered with their planes One of her fly
ing comrades charged that the death of Marvel Cros
son in crash at Wellton Arizona was the result of
such tampering.
1t is hard to conceive who would be guilty of such
dabolcal fendishnes 1t can not be believed that any
of the entries their mechanics or assistants would
deliberately injure the machine of another entry
Yet only those entered in the race would benefit
from such acts Unless inspired by spirit of revenge
for some fancied wrong. outsider would have any
motive for doing such thing
Charges of this kind serious things to make Com

 and Win Enter Sanitarium.

New York. April 23 R-Rev. John Roach Straton pastor of Calvary Baptist church. will leave tomorrow for a month's> visit at an Atlanta sanitarium.
 Dr. Straton said he suffered . slight paralytic stroke last Thursday and took it as warning that it would be dangerous to continue his activities without a rest. He had consulted no physician, he said. but would rely upon the Lord. and trust that he will comfort me in my afflic- tion."
 The stroke left him at first unable to talk or to move his right side. and he had to be assisted to bed. The following day. however, he was again able to be about.
 Dr. Straton said the strain of the recent presidential campaign. during which he made number of speeches. together with activities in connection with the erection of a skyscraper church by his congrega- mer church colony at Greenwood Lake, had proved too much for him,
 He was granted . months leave of absence and will take complete rest cure at Wesley Memorial hos pital. Atlanta, Ga, of which his col lege classmate. Dr. Stuart Roberts. is head. He will be accompanied by Mrs. 6tratsn.

 Captain William J. Heating of Bacon. N. Y.. master of the collier TIA. D. Jones. reported to his own ere that the Seneca fired several shots across the bow of his ship 50 miles off the Jersey coast Satur- day night and then sent party aboard the collier.
