 Public Opinion Will Force Accord.
 Geneva, Sept. 5 P-Premicr Ar stide Rriand of France, whose ora torical triumphs have won him the reputation of the most brilliant ora tor of Europe, received the biggest exclamation of his long career today before the tenth assembly of the League of Nations, when he made a stirring tribute to the decade of work by the league and scourged war makers and all those who se- Cretly foster the spirit of war in the coming generations.
 When in his memorable address he sent forth an appeal to the Wom- en of the world to protect their chil- dren from false ideas of strife and from those doctrines calculated to inculcatc prejudice and hatred among peoples, the great audience which packed the assembly hall burst into wild and prolonged cheers.
 The French premier contented himself with q modest reference to his project for limited States of Europe" saying that although his idea had been described as a dream, he was convinced that the nations of Europe could establish closer ties to their mutual benefit.
 He asked the governments to study this problem, rcmarking rig nificantly that in addition to military disarmament there was another kind of disarmament that was necessary, and that was an economic one. He believed this problem should be at tackled from the political standpoint.
 Accorded Great Ovation
 All the delegates, including nearly a score of prcmiers and foreign ministers and as many again of former foreign ministers, rose to greet M Briand as he came down from the rostrum.
 It was an impressive tribute to the great French premier, whose small form seemed modestly desirous of effacing itself in the crowd.
 The ovation did not end in the as sembly hall, for big crowd had gathered in the streets outside and hailed him with cheers of spon- taneous admiration on his appear ance.
 M Briand said the league had wagcd a tremendous campaign against war and had been able to do so because it had prepared pro-

HOLMES NOT ALARMED
 BY SCHOOL SITUATION
Believes Accommodations Will Be Available for
 All Pupils

Although the junior high schools of this city will suffer the greatest increase and will be taxed consid- erably by the influx of pupils at the opening of school next Monday, it is the opinion of School Supt. Stan Icy II. Holmes that in general ac- commodations will be sufficient to meet whatever increase may re- suit.
 Although the new addition to the senior high school is still in the process of construction there will be class rooms enough so that the pupils will be able to stay within the plant this year. This was pro yidod through the addition of 12 rooms in the rear of the north wing formerly known as tho academic building. The only handicap will be in the loss Of the auditorium. gym naslum and administrative offices.
 The If rooms which would be used to accommodate pupils from the central junior high school will not be ready until midycar. This may result in an overCrowdcd con- dition in this district and in the Nathan Hall school section. Supt. Holmes is anxious 10 learn what cf- feet the construction of the new Sacred Heart of Jesus school will have on the junior high school sit uation in the north end. The new school includes ninth grade and il may take many of the pupils who might otherwise be registered at the Nathan Hale school on Fremont street.
 Little or no part time is expected in the schools this year hy the su- pcrintendcnt but he does not care to make a statement until he sees how the school population will bc at the opening.
 It was the supcrintcndcnt's opinion that there should be nc cause for alarm over the presen' school accommodations.

TEACHING INSPIRES SEARCH FOR TRUTHS
Normal School Principal Gives
 Views on Professions Goal
ADDRESSES 300 STUDENTS
Dr. Weltc Tells Girls Future Ann Should Be to Stimulate Minds of Children to Seek Facts Concern ing World Problems.

Facing the senior and junior classes at the New Britain Normal school for the first time today tha new principal, Dr. Herbert D., Welte cautioned the students as to their responsibilities after gradu- aton and declared that it should be their aim 10 stimulate children into searching for the truth as well as in leading them to find safe and sane answers" to problems confront ing the world.
 Students will be placed on their own responsibility as far as possible according to pr. Wclte. Explaining this policy, which he said was found to be particularly successful in the school in the past he said:
 Tn high school you were given definite subjects to study and you were held responsible for the mas tery of specific lessons. You Will find it somewhat different here. You will be allowed a great deal of free dom in choosing your own library books, in your reference material in your conduct in general"
 This was one of several policos stressed by the new principal as he met the group of some 3o0 pupils whom he will supervise during th" coming year. He paid tribute 10 Miss Louise S"hmahl dean ot the school who, he said would offer great aid in helping the young women improve themselves in "cul- ture and refinement" In the course of his talk Principal Welte said:
 Welcomes Students
 This day marks the official open ing of the present school year at this institution and l hope that for all of us it is the dawn of another day of opportunity. On behalf of the state board of education and the mem bers of our staff, I take great deal of personal pleasure in welcoming to this institution the members of the junior class. The seniors too, should be included in this WolcOm- ing but I am thinking this morning especially of those who are here for the first time. We congratulate you upon your choice of vacations and We trust that as you become better acquainted with your work, you will have renewed faith in your selcc- ton of teaching as a career.

NOTHING ID SAY SAY ALCORN 'FOES'
Bingham and RorabaCk Silent
 on Rulnored Opposition
ALC0RN JOINS IN GAME
Possible Successor to Mrs. Nllic- brandt is Mum-ObScrNcrS Believe States Attorney Would Gain Lit tie From Appointment.

Hartford, Sept. (UP)-The old fashioned political game of question: juggling was at it's height here to- day.
 The prime question now current is: "Who will oppose the appoint mcnt of States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, as assistant L. s. attorney general in charge of prohibition en- forccment if the poslton be ten dcred him ?'
 First the question was tossed at United States Senator Hiram Blng- ham, who wasted no time tossing the question away. Bingham, poli- tical observers believe, may he one of the barriers to the selection Of Alcorn as Mrs. Mabel Willebrandts successor.
 II have nothing to say Senator Bingham said last night before leav- ing for Washington. Whereupon the question jugsled back to Henry Roraback, supreme political power in Connecticut.
 q have nothing to say,' Roraback said
 Alcorn himself made it three-all when he answered:
 T have nothing to say"
 These hardly enlightening answers left an opening for political dope sters. They conjecturdr to their hearts content.
 Little to Gain From Post
 "What has Alcorn to gain?' poli- tical observers ask, prepared to an- swer the question themselves. Al ready he has an extensive law prac- tice that might be even greater should he give all his time to priv ate concerns Prestige to be gained by his acceptance would mean little or nothing to him. He has all the prestige he WantS.'
 It is recall, l here that Roraback and Alcorn frequently have been at odds over various questions and just as often, AlCorn has refused to ac- cede to the will of the political chief.
 Now. political observers at the state capitol maintain, there is an opportunity for Roraback to prevent Alcorn from falling heir to q high national honor. There is a pare pos sibility, it is argued, that President Hoover may override the state pow crs-that be and appoint AlCorn in the face of opposition. But this would be a precedent.
 Alcorn Has Long Record
 Alcorn was one of the youngest states attorneys at the time of his appointment 21 years ago. During lis years in office, he has been known to trod roughshod on toes of politicians, some of whom could furnish "prcstige" should Alcorn yearn for more than he has.
 Alcorn is a dry. It is believed here, however, his judgment in deal ing with prohibition enforcement problems is based purely on his own interpretation of the law and not on advice from any particular state body of 'drys."
