EDUCATION GROWTH
 VIEWED BY WELTE
Normal School Principal Sees
 Its Importance Increasing

Five essentials in education, text books, professional books for tcach- CTS, summer school for teachers, profession school supervision and tho organization of education itself arc putting modern education on a higher plane, Dr. Herbert D. Wclte, principal of the New Britain State Normal school, declared at the luncheon of the Rotary club in the Burritt hotel this noon.
 There was an unusually large at tendance, and among the many guests were School Supt. Stanley II. Holmes and Senior High School Principal Louis P. Slade.
 Dr, Welte's talk, in part, follows:
 'It might with truth be said that the peculiar genius of the American people has manifested itself mosl clearly and most forcibly in their creative undertakings. Amcricans have been primarily a nation Of doers rather than droamcrs. Onca they clearly conceive a new idea, they work it out in their own way. and develop it as nearly as possible to a model Of effective organization. In invention, business, constructive undertaking of all kinds, and in the practical arts America has done uo- table creative work. American ma Chlncry and labor saving devices are |. hn of 11t organization and mass production have characterized American busi- ness methods; and our railways power developments, telephone sys- tcms, office buildings, hospitals, and
 hotels stand as visible evidence ol the large creative ability Of our pco- pie.
 We have also shown no mean capacity in dealing with things ol the spirit. In the matter of public education, with which VIC as teach
 CTS are especially concerned and tC
 which we shall for purposes of thi. discussion conlnc our thinking, we
 as a people may well be proud of
 what VIC have created. Once having conceived of education as the birth
 right of every American boy ana girl we have in time worked out
 this conception in a series of free non-scctarian, taX-supportcd schook that, despite all their deficiencies stand forth as examples of the ere. atlYe achievement of the American people in other than material things l We still have much 10 do before oul schools can be considered thorough. ly satisfactory, and many pooi schools and poorly prepared teach CTS arc still found among us: ncv crthclcss there are in the United
 States some of the best schools ane i found anywhere in the world. Ouu schools may lack the cycnncss thq l charactcriZcs the older European schools, and our teachers the uni form training that distinguishes tho teachers of the more advanced Eu
 ropcan nations yet our bette schools and our better teachers ar,
 the envy of visitors from abroad Discerning individuals and commi2
 sions coming 10 tho United States {, try to find tho secret Of our larG, creative power have attributed mur! of our national proGrcTs and dc yclopmcnt 10 the work Of our teach CTS.

Three Gigantic Caverns Found
 In Guadalupe Mountain Region

Carlsbad. N. M., March 27.-UP) Existence of three gigantic under. ground caverns in the Guadalupe mountains was reported today by Carl Livingston, explorer and au- thority on prehistoric life in the southwest.
 Livingston discovered the cavcrns while searching for evidence Of carly cave dwellers and said they contain monster stalagmites sur passing in size and beauty those found in the famed Carlsbad cavcrns here.
 The first cavern discovered con tained 12 great stalagmitcs. The highest Of which was as tall as aeven-story building, Livingston said.
 To Tall to sec

the pillars properly with powerful flashlight equipment.
 Livingston cavern, as members of the eXporer's party named the first discovery, has mountainsidc entrance large enough to drive four locomotives through.
 Livingston said that the interior of the cavern was sufficiently large to hold a good sized railroad switching yard"
 The other two caverns were said to be near the first discovery and also to possess many large stalag. mites.
 A species of birds unknown to the explorer were said to inhabit the cavcrns. The birds were described as about the size Of a robin but with a peculiar and distinctive call.
 Numerous ringtailcd cats and hundreds of Angora goats were also said to make the caverns their homes.

ment of school systems which are adequate to our growing needs. Pro- feasional school people everywhere are appreciative of the excellent CO., operation which they have been giv- en by an appreciative public. With out this financial assistance, the pur- pose for which these schools were conceived would soon be forgotten and it would then be difficult to speculate upon the calamity which would follow. Let us remember. therefore, that continued support of public education is probably the most important single function of local, state and national governments. The extent to which more adequate fi- nancial support is given to public education, therefore, just to that ex- tent will it be possible to have con- tinued improvement"

Would Model Plan After League of Nations Treaties Which Great Britain Has Already Signed - French Wait Developments.

London, March 27 tP-Aristide Briand, French foreign minister was reported unoffically today 10 have told Arthur Henderson, British for eigR minister, that France would be able to cut her naval tonnage pro- gram if the five-power naval confer ence would produce a pact of mu- tual guarantees for the Mcditerra- mean.

ago. In such new fields as educa- tonal diagnosis, mental develop ment, educational and vocational guidance, the education of special classes, and curriculum readjust- mcnts, the problems facing us are intricate and difficult. These rep resent only the larger aspects of the new subject of cducation; in it's many subdivisions there are dozens of smaller fields, many of them in- tricate and difficult. in which school officers and teachers arc today call ing for help and guidance. The proper solution of these new prob- lens deeply concerns the welfare of society and the state.
 New Demands On Teachers ..
 During the eleven years since the Armistice our educational progress has been rapid and there is every reason to think that it will be still more rapid in the decade that lies ahead. Never in our educational his- tory were our teachers so deSirious of mastering new techniques and of obtaining larger teaching skill; never before have our teachers bought and studied go many professional books; and never before have they shown so much interest in understanding the administrative organization of education and the reasons for the administrative procedures of those who arc responsible for the organi- @ation and direction of public cduca- ton. Nor have our school principals and Supcrintcndcnts ever done so much 10 stimulate their teachers to professional advancement and re- search or made available so many opportunities for the improvement of
 those in service, or labored so hard to secure monetary and professional rewards for those who avail them selves of the many opportunities now at hand for professional study and advancement. Nor has the American public ever before been so apprcci- atiyc of the teachers who labor in our schools, so willing to grant bet
 tor working conditions and greater
 rewards for evidences of profession al advancement, or understood so well the importance of the service
 rendered by the teachers in the school and the heavy demands made ! upon them.
 | Why Our Schools Arc Significant
 "rhe five reasons just given for our ability 10 make the remarkable development in public education of thc past half century seem to mo 10 be the important ones.
 What the future holds for public education is somewhat difficult 10 1 determine. It seems reasonable, how | ever, to assume that VIC shall make even greater strides in tho develop

tral office in the school system, up 10 which and down from which authority, direction, and inspra- ton flow. What our city school systems arc in organization, admin istration, instruction, spirit, and purpose, and what position the schools occupy in the eyes of the community, is very largely due to the intelligence. professional skill, courage, and vision of the supcrin-
 tcndcnt. What he is, the schools, under proper administrative condi-
 tions, become; what he is not, the schools often plainly show.
 Organization Of Education Itself
 "Thc fifth and last of the forces contributing to the development of
 public education in the United
 States is the very recent orGaniza-
 ton which has been made of much
 of the subjcct-mattcr of education
 itself. Compared with that Of even
 ) years ago, education with us to-
 day speaks q 1cW language and cm- pIoys new tools. Almost within the past decade and half, and ccrtain- ly within two decades, the old and rather limited subject of pedagogy, with it's emphasis on management and methods and procedures ill in struction, has been replaced by the far larger and far moro important study known as education, Within | this period of time q new field of | knowledge, based, of course, on
 that had previously been developed
 has been opened up. We have to-
 day new history of education, q new philosophy of education, q new
 cducationa! hygiene. The older
 theory as to elementary and sccon- 1 diary education has been almost en-
 tircly reshapcd and rcdircctcd, and
 new theory as to the intermediate years has been developed. The old | S-i school system has been rcor- | sanizcd, and new theories as to | purposes direct the work of the new
 6-3-3 school. School administration | has been organized as a subject of study and put into teaching form. | EuuCdllOl1dl lcStS ana llCdSuFC- mcnts, mental tests, school survey 1 ing, educational, financial vocation- al education and guidance, school counscling, juvenile problems, tho | work of school deans and the new
 statistical and mathematical procc-
 dures represent recently developed 1 fields of study. In such lines of
 work. too, as the supervision of in-
 struCtion, curriculum rcorganiza- ton, tra-CurriCulum activities, teaching technique, and even meth ods of instruction in the older
 school subjects, the methods cm- ploycd and the procedures followed in the best schools today are quite different from those of a generation

French Wait Developments

Paris, March 27 tP,-The French sort of 8 pact the naval conference will offer with the hope expressed in official quarters that it would be an adequate induccment to reduce her tonnage.
 The determination, however, was expressed in French official circles that only something worth while Tn French opinion would be accepted
 These circles frankly say thcy want acts not words" meaning that the proposed pact must be some thing more than a polite agreement tosmeet and talk things over if war danger appears.
 Must Have Assurances
 "Whether there is a pact or not ," said one political authority, "Ther1 are always such conferences and what we must have is the assurance that the parties to the pact will dc something
 France can conceive several forms Of aid other than military, but ot sufficient weight in case of a threat of-'war, to have tremendous effect such as economic measures and public denunciation of aggression.
 Whether the United States would participate even in "a consultative capacity appears to be considered doubtful in semi official circles, bu, American adherence, however ncu. tral, would be highly valued. The other signatories to any pact. it was indicated, would have to produce something decidedly more tanGibl, than words 10 convince France sh must lower her naval figures below the 7a4,000 tons which she think, her defense requires.

CANTON, March 27,-The exact
Whereabouts of 16 American Catholic
Missionaries, besieged for three weeks
at. Kanchow. Kiangsi Province. by
nandits and Communists, was uncertain
Stsbday.
Belief was expressed they had evacu-
Sted Kanchow. fearing the city would
AL before the bandits who have been
1elding. killing ard looting throughout
u1e southern part of the province for
raonths.
The belief was based upon a tele-
gram sent by the Rev. Father Young, Q
missionary stationed at Kanchow, say
ing that the Communists and bandits
had entered Nananfu, about so miles
away.
Contrary to this, however, was an
unoficial Chinese dispatch which stated
the Communists had been dispersed
near Kanchow. thus relieving the situ-
alton. Meanwhile communication with
Kanchow continued fragmentary, ban
dts having halted telegraphic com
munication, and the actual condition
OF the missionaries, 10 men and 8
women, was not learned.
The lawlesS forces which have looted
Kiangsi Province for months were re-
ported to have attacked and captured
the towns of Sinfeng and Taiyi, in
southern Kiangsi Namhung, in north
ern Kwangtung Province, also was re-
ported to have fallen into their hands.
Whether missionaries were safe at the
Slnfeng and Namvung stations was not
known, but the Chinese populace was
reported to have fed in panic.

MR.. J. r. HARRISON
Mr.. James r. Harrison, wen

aaid: st came in to the Peoples

bottle of Miller's Herb Extract
formerly called Herb Juice), and
to tell you that 1t Is the best all
around medicine ever used. Be-
fore I used this medicine I did
not know what 1t was to enjoy a
good nights rest and the con-
slant loss of sleep, to say moth
ing of the pain I was in, had just
about ruined me in every way.
Everything ate hurt my stomach
and was afraid to eat the proper
food to give me the strength;
even light foods caused gas to
form: bilious attacks would leave
me feeling weak and dizzy; my
ni1ints were spent In rolling and
tossing from one side to the
other and morning found me
feeling weak and worn out In
stead of rested; felt worse. Con-
stipation was another worry TO
me. strong laxatives had no ef-
feet and for as high as three
DAYS the bowels would not act.
Friends told me about this nedi-
cine and I cannot praise it too
highly, as 1t has done for me
what no other remedy would do;
has regulated the bowels, BAN
ished every pain and ache I ever
had and made life worth living.
I can now eat Just what want.
no sign of stomach pains, sleep
sound and feel stronger and bet
ter in every way than have for
yeers. Miller's Herb Extract
