ponents of the proposed plant are be-
ing organized to make a united front
at the meeting.
1t was disclosed yesterday that the
hearing which is being given is a re-
suit of an opinion rendered by Capt.
Joseph G. Cissel, attorney for the
county commissioners, that the permit
should not be granted without first CIV
ing public hearing under the park
and planning law.
Rezoning Directed.
Although the board of county COM
missioners, sitting as a district council
of the metropolitan district, following
a public hearing, directed a rezoning
of the parcel of land in question from
residential to industrial, with the
knowledge that it was to be used for
a gas distribution plant, j. Fred Imirie,
building inspector, entertained some
doubt as to whether he should issue
the building permit for the structure
until after a public hearing. at which
opponents could be heard on the matter.
At the same time it was pointed out
that j. Bond Smith, general counsel of
the Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, took the
position that public hearing was not
required as prerequisite to the is
suance of the permit. In spite of this
view of the planning commissions own
Evening star., 1929-12-04

attorney, it was decided to hold the
hearing, because the building inspector
would not act until it was done.
Approval Expected.
Those In close touch with the affairs
Of the planning commission said that
body was ready to approve the permit
for the plant, taking the stand that as
the county commissioners had approved
the rezoning. with prior knowledge Of
the intended use, they could not offer
objection. It is expected that the build
ing inspector will follow the recon-
mendation of the planning commits
sion, which, in view of the stand all
ready taken, viii be approved. The
hearing is regarded as merely a matter
Of form to comply with the opinion of
the counsel for the county commits
sioners.
The plans call for a series of one
story buildings on the parcel of land
to be occupied by the plant A num-
ber of the small distributing tanks for
the gas, which is for. rural homes where
gas is not piped already, are on the
spot, as well as much of the building
material.

ROGERS ATTACKS
 SCHOOL METHODS
"Snob" Fame Educator Urges
 Reforms in System

Boston, Oct. 26 UP)-A futur- istic picture of students being taught from central agencies via radio and the talkies was drawn as a warning to educators here yesterday by Pro lessor Robert E. Rogers of Massa chusetts Institute of Technology, famous for his ''be a snob" advice.
 Though Professor Rogers recent Iy attracted wide discussion by sharply criticising Normal schoos and women teachers. he was cordial ly received at the joint convention of the teachers association of Nor folk and Middlesex counties, where he was principal speaker.
 With "Aarons Rod-a Parable, as his subject, Professor Rogers loosed fresh attack upon current educational methods and presented the spectacle of students being taught from central agencies as d warning of what might happen un- less the system were changed.
 Professor Rogers asserted too much stress was being laid upon the mechanics and method of procedure in teaching and not enough on grounding in fundamentals.
 He expressed confidence that pres ent-day methods would not be allow ed to contnue-that standardization of teaching would "go down the bacl, stairs, just as have all other pseudo sciences

 The southwest" he says, "has the largest untouched forests In the United States; it's picturesque noun tains are rich in minerals; it con- tans great stretches of semi-arid land, useful for grazing, and it has fortunes in oil awaiting discovery.
 "The virgin opportunities of this incompletely settled region are at fractions which have brought about an ever-incroasing heterogeneous population. Thousands of MeXicans. illiterate, poverty stricken and en- tircly innocent of sanitary knowl- edge, have migrated across the unskilled labor on the farms and ranches, on the railroads and in the mines. Then there are American farmers and graziers in the country and American business and profess sional men in the cities. Other na- ttons and races also contribute repre- sentatives to the population, a primi- tive ethnic background being fur nlshCd by the Pueblo Indians who still hold annual snake dances and still worship the sun, clouds, wind and rain,

 Ray did not usually pay much attention 10 tn" performers but he noticed one particular girl, who for inc past week had brought down the biggest hand, was curiously striking.

 The cost of putting such a project into effect, it was estimated, would b. very high, Further ohje ction was found in the unwillingnes.5 of many communities to lose army posts on which they are more or less depend cnt for their existence, and various military complications were forescon, which also helped to offset the cx- pcCted advantages
