WASHINGTON. Dec. 23-CP-The
Japanese delegation will be the most
peaceful influence at the naval lin

All the diplomats and technical
experts In Washington agree on

" frequent comparisons between
their respective war fleets.
Italy Is almost openly jealous Of

Convention Speaker Says
Products Take Away
Child Diversions.

Work of Parent Teacher organize
lions in improving hone-life was
praised today by DR.. Frank D.
Boynton. superintendent of schools.
at Ithaca. New York. who spoke at
the Indiana State Teachers Asso-
citation convention.
In an interview today he en-
phasized the need for closer CO.
q operation between the home and
school. and explained the meaning
of the term. The Fact0ryized
Home"
. Our alert and intelligent Parent
Teacher groups are the star hope
to which We wish to hitch our
wagon" he declared.
Defends Youths
He said. youths are not going to
the dogs. but they are just as good
as their parents and perhaps better
than their grandparents.
However. he severely attacked the
present trend toward factory pro-
duction. as harmful to the American
home.
THE factory of today has made
the home a delightful place for
grown-ups. but has Impoverished it
as a place where creative things
can be done by children he said.
Takes Away Ingenuity
cit has taken from the home the
weaving of cloth and making of
garments. the knitting of stockings
. and the baking bread and countless
other tasks, in which children learn.
1t has changed our homes into
houses. our houses into apartments
and our apartments into flats
The factory has caused children
to be forgotten. It has taken from
them the opportunity of making
their own toys"
Worst of all, the modern home
has come to be unattractive to
childhood. which presents an alarm
ing situation for the older genera
ton to solve.
'The major problem for seriously
thinking and unseIfiSh people is how
We are to turn our leisure into i'm
provement of our citizenry,' he said.
