Area Of taxing unit contains sufficient valua-
ton to enable it to support satisfactory school
with reasonable tax rate; building problems

building with eight classrooms will serve in
place Of eight one-room buildings; equalization :
of the school tax burden over q given territory
automatically follows consultations; equal adj
vantages for all children is made possible.
WHILE the transformation Of rural educa-
ton has been striking because of the ad-
vent of the consolidated school and the school
bus, the city school also has undergone many
significant changes. In the general education
picture this is of great importance, for in re-
cent years the United States has changed from
population lived in cities, but by 1920 the urban
country. In 1880 only 29.5 per cent Of the total
population lived in cities but by 1920 the urban
population had increased to STA per cent Of
the total. The cities have become the centers
Of political, industrial and commercial power.
They are the centers of wealth, education and
culture, but, on the other hand, they also are
centers OF poverty ignorance and crime
How to educate the city child is acknowledged
to be one of the most pressing problems facing
the educational world. The city is good place
for adults to carry on business, to attend lee
lures and concerts, and progress socially but
in the average city proper outlet for the energy
Of children outside Of school hours is limited.
There is little opportunity for city boys or
girls to do constructive work. There are vir-
tually no chores for them to do, and it is rare
municipality which provides sufficient play
grounds for all its children. There is little
contact with nature. Yet all these-work play
and contact with nature-are fundamental in
the education of children and unless the cities
provide these fundamentals the city child re-
ceives only an artificial education-what he
reads in books
The educator, therefore. needs to think OF
more than the teaching of reading, writing and
arithmetic. He must be statesman looking
far ahead. He must know the aims and Ideals
of his city, or rather he must help form its
aims and ideals through the children in the
schools. There is not only the problem of
educating the child of school age, but also
that of educating the pre-school child and adults
as well. Thousands Of men and women whose
early education was neglected are demanding

A s in SO many other things fashions in edu-
cation change and even the fathers and
mothers Of the generation to which these are
school days would hardly recognize their sur
roundings if they were thrust into 1929 school,
room. Aspirations remain the same but going
to school today is vastly different. 1t is a far
cry indeed from the little red schoolhouse of
poetic remembrance to the modern, scientif-
cally consolidated rural school which has re-
placed it. Specialization and new subjects,
methods and equipment also have quite COM
pletely altered the aspect Of the urban school.

pean buyers of American wheat have
taken out of this country %, $4,000
bushels, against 20,878.0 bushels so
taken in the same period OF last year.
Further, the United Kingdom between
the like dates in 1929 has taken a. ,259,-
600 bushels, against 9,920,000 bushels
last year. Since prevailing prices for
slightly above the figures for similar
dates year ago, it is apparent that the
export portion of the American crop is
probably being taken up at very close to
a normal rate.
Aside from the influence on grain
prices attributed to actual or expected
policies of the Federal Farm Board
created this year, the most important
factor touching the markets appears at
present to be the policy of the Canadian
wheat pool. That organization, COM
posed of growers. controlling predomi-
nant proportion of the Dominion crop, is
still holding the bulk of its grain for
higher figures. Since the vast proper
ton of Canadian grain goes into world
trade, the policy of the pool is the i'm
mediate factor in fixing the European
bread price. Few sets of statistics get
more thorough compilation or study
than those relating to world grain sup
plies, and the leadership in both the
United States and Canada, through the
wheat pool and the farm board, seems
disposed to conclude that the grain fig
ures will be higher next Spring than
they are now.
A large part of this assumption has
been based on the growing expectation
of reduced wheat output in the Argen-
tine, which has been circulating
through the trade for weeks. Accom-
panying this expectation has been an
increasingly severe depression in the
exchange value of the Argentine cur
rency, which has eliminated this week
in an official embargo in that country
against gold exports. Probably the
greatest single influence in forcing the
Argentine currency down has been the
increasing verif1cation given to the cal
culation that the country's forei'
wheat sales would bring much less than
the normal credits in Europe this year.

"No Smoking" on London Streets.

The residents of London have been
startled from time to time during the
past few years by many explosions OF
gas which do considerable damage and
often injure pedestrians. and the ex-
PLANTATION is found in the great number
OF pipes, tubes, conduits and tunnels
under the streets in the busy sections
of the city which permit the accunu-
lation of gas. This condition has be-
come so alarming that squads of work
men are constantly engaged in investi-
eating leaks reported. When they en-
counter one which seems to be Of se-
rious proportions the first thing they
do is to put up mo Smoking" signs
throughout the immediate vicinity.
Visitors and others who are not familiar
with the circumstances cannot under
stand why they must refrain from
smoking on the streets.

Rubber.

AKRON, December 20.-Higher prices
for automobile tires and increased sales
we're predicted by William O'Neill, presi-
dent of General Tire SS Rubber Co., in
a forecast for 1880. O'Neill declared an
abnormally large number of new cars
were sold during 1929y which put old
cars out of use. These old cars will be
returned to service, he believes, and
naturally will require new tires, thus in
dicating replacement demand.

SEATTLE, Wash, April pa
nonstop flight from Tacoma. Wash,
to Toxic, Japan, will be attempted
by Lieut.. Harold Bromley, former
British wartime flyer, as soon as
weather conditions permit. Backed
by Tacoma capital, Bromley has
just completed the purchase Of his
plane.
The plane, to be named the city
of Takoma," is the big Lockhead
Vega monoplane designed for Cap
tain Sir Hubert wilkins antarctic
expedition, and is now under con-
struction at Burbank, Cal. 1t is
powered by a Wright J-6 motor Of
3S5 horsepower, capable of giving
the flyers speed OF $50 miles per
hour. 1t is entirely of wooden con-
struction and is exceedingly buoy
ant in water.
Bromley pans 70 carry TOO gal
Ions Of gasoline, with a special re-
serve of rs gallons. This he expects
to be enough for 1000 miles more
than he intends to cover. A special
device has been installed TO allow
the tanks to be emptied and closed
in Is seconds in case OF emergency,
and to tighten the plane enough
so that it will float.
The plane will be equipped with
the same radio Martin Jensen used

CENSUS BILL
UP TO SOLONS
Reapportionment Of House
Likely to Bring On
Bitter Fight

WASHINGTON. April 2o.-tP)-
TWO bills on the program Of Pres
ident Hoover for the extra session
authorization of the 1880 census
and reapportionment of house men,
bership on the basis Of that census
were combined today by the SEN
ate commerce committee and report
ed to the senate.
The consolidated bill, facing op-
position from those states which
would lose house representation I'M
der the reapportionment, has been
accorded second place on the calen-
dar. The farm relief measure, up
Monday, has first call.
Advocates OF house reapportion-
ment regarded the linking of that
legislation with the bill for author
iZation OF the 1880 census as a VIC
tory. They believe congress is GER
tain to authorize the $50 100000 for
the regular regennial census stip-
ulated by the constitution.
The census bill reported. intro
duced on Thursday by Chairman
Jones provides for beginning the
census next November !. rather than
on May ! as stipulated in the bill
passed last session Dy ne mouse.
The bill also includes provision
for the taking of an unemployment
survey in connection with the 1880
census.
The reapportionment bill intro
duced by Vandenberg, republican,
Michigan, is the same in general
scope as that passed last session by
the house. 1t provides for keeping
the house membership at its pres
ent f~igure-4S5.
