VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
AIMS EXPLAINED
Frank Cushman Outlines
Principles in Address to
School Association.

Fundamental principles to be con-
siderett In the conduct Of vocation
schools were described by Frank Cush-
man, chief of industrial education
service, Federal Board Tor Vocational
Education, in an address ON 1.-THE Prob
lem of Developing an Efficlent City Pro-
gram of Vocational Education" before
the District of Columbia Public School
Association In the Franklin School last
might. :,
Among the points stressed by Mr..
Cushman were that there must be
properly selected groups to take voca-
tional training. dependent upon the de-
sire and ability of the pupils TO take
such training. Second. that, there must
be. competent and practical instructors
Third. that the subject matter must DC
such as directly functions in the occu-
nation for which the training' Is given
Fourth. that there must be adequate
equipment for giving the headed m
structiun. Fifth, the working condl-
tions must be sufficiently favorable tc
enable those responsible for the Rrogfam
of instruction to do good job OF II
Hits Intelligence Tests.
Mr.. Cushman took a general SIP al
seacalled intelligence tests, declaring
THE intelligence quotieflt Of, a coy OF
rfrf is neither suitable nor q scits11tifi-
caily correct basis for the choice OF
n vocation" adding that 1T Is hardly
more than an index OF the proba piIitS
of pupils success In regular acadenit
school work" To illustrate this point
Mark Twain was dropped from schoo
at the eighth grade-a failure. accom-
ing to his teacher. At the age OF II

of Lift. .. by oxford University anc
designated as Americas foremost mar
of letters.
Edison was thrown out of school ..

that he was not the equal mentally o.
other boys of his age.
And so the list might be extended
Samuel Gompers, Carnegie and SchWHa
made no records of scholarship as boy
and Lincoln had rthe benefit Of not NOR
than ID months,of schooling"
Must Pay High Salaries.
A statement by Mr.. Cushman tina
high salaries have to be paid tradesmer
tn get them to quit practicing thei
brought forth the statement from
Stephen z. Kramer, first assistant super
tntendent of District of Columbia Pub
lie Schools, that many teachers ar
working at q sacrifice and giving IA
more than the value of the money the!
receive for their services.
Or. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
Of schools, expressed the view that I
scientific knowledge on the part of TIT
teacher of the art of teaching is as es
sential as is a practical knowledge o
the subject being taught in vocational
or trade school.
Mr.. Cushman differed with DR.. Bal
lou somewhat on this subject, express
ing the view that the necessary lesson
in a subject as well as citizenship an,
morals are learned through practices

was cheaper than cane sugar, but pro-
duced alcohol quicker.

The plants producing the corn sugar
alcohol, the commissioner said, were OF
the latest type Of distilleries, known as
column" plants, set up by experts ana
finished in the most modern style.
These plants, he said, could produce
500 to 1000 or more gallons OF alconoi
Of the best grade day. The plants, ne
continued, are in some cases found 10
be bigger than legal plants and II the
operators can escape arrest Tor three
months they pay for the plant and
have"a comfortable profit left. He SAID
that 100000 pounds of corn sugar
was seized at stills last year.
THE corn sugar Illicit distilling,
Doran said, lis causing us grave con-
cern4 for there seems to be constant
growth In it with the highest type OF
plants being erected. The alcohol IS
Just as good a grade as that manufac-
tured legally and is shipped by the
bootIeggerS in five and ten gallon cans
The bureau year ago seized corn
sugar distillery near Cincinnati, the
commissioner said, which had used 10
cars of corn sugar In three months.
Each: car, he said, contained 500 sacks
weighing 100 pounds each.
Diversion Decreasing.
Dofan said that diversion of legal
alcohol was steadily decreasing and that,
while the, progress was slow, under
the system inaugurated year ago,
through which only enough alcohol to
supply legitimate demands in manufac-
ture was withdrawn, diversion will be
decreased to q negligible amount. He
said all alcohol released from the ware
houses Is traced.
The greatest part Of the illegal alcohol
cooking plants now operating, he added,
are working OH lacquer solvents. disin-
fectants, tree sprays and cheap toilet
waters, from which the alcohol is re-
moved for use by the .bootleggers.
Commissioner Doran said that agents
of the bureau were steadily closing in
on the illicit corn distilleries, but that
more aid from State authorities would
enable the bureau to fight the distillery
problem more efficiently.

TWO WAR BUILDING
SITES CONSIDERED
Lower End of Mall and Tract
Opposite Munitions Struc-
ture Favored.

Though not finally settled, the au-
thorities at the War Department, in
Guiding Secretary Hurley, have practi-
caliy agreed on locating the projected
new war Department Building on either
one of two sites now under final con-
sideration.
One of these Is on the south side Of
the lower end of the Mall, where the
building would correspond with a SINH
lar building contemplated for the north
side of the Mall at that point. The
other site under consideration Is located
in the section opposite the present Mu-

nitions Building and would cover the
territory between Nineteenth and
Twenty-first streets and B street and
New York avenue.
Secretary Hurley and Gen. Summerall,
chief of staff, made tour of inspection
yesterday of various sites suggested for
the proposed building and each con-
cluded that either one of the two sites
named would be the best that could be
obtained.
The site near the Capitol is under
private ownership, but the one near
the Munitions Building is owned by.
the Government. Each of these sites
has special advantages in the matter
of accessibility and the two officials
have not yet made their choice.
When that Is done the matter will
be submitted to Congress with a view
to getting authority for the erection OF
the building and the necessary funds
for its construction. The War Depart
ment authorities point out that the
bureaus of the department and Its
activities are now scattered in buildings
in various parts of the city, most of
which are inadequately equipped for
fire protection, thus placing the valu-
able records of the department in con-
slant hazards.

LEFT-TURN CHANGE
WILL Be OPPOSED
sRsa nAaEFarst
Harland and EIdridge to De-
fend Present Method at
Meeting Tonight.

A vigorous fight against the proposed
change In Washington's rotary left
turn at trafic-controlied intersection:
Is expected to be made by Traffic Direc-
tor william H. Harland and Assistant
Director M. o. Eldridge at meeting
tonight of the Traffic Advisory Com
mittee, appointed by the Commission
ers to study the Districts traffic prob
lens.
The committee will have before it for
action q recommendation that the
standard left-ttirn. approved by the
stituted for the present rotary turn
The standard turn which has been gen.
orally adopted throughout the country
provides that all turns be made on a
60 signal.
Oppose Standard Turn.
Mr.. Eldridge as member of sub
committee of the Advisory Committee
which studied the left turn, already
has shown his disagreement with the
committee by submitting minority re-
port opposing a change in the present
method. And now, Mr.. Harland, whose
stand on the issue throughout the Sum-
mer has been that he would favor the
Hoover turn If the public wanted it
and could convince him that it would
make for increased safety, has decided
TO align himself with Mr.. Eldridge in
defense of the rotary turn.
1.-THE Hoover turn permits vehicles
to pass q red light or a stop signal at
an intersection" declared Mr.. Harland.
s'This Is contrary to the principles OF
safety for motorist and pedestrian alike,
and am opposed to 1t.
1.-THE Hoover turn puts an increased
burden on the pedestrian.
when crossing an intersection he
must watch for vehicles in all direc-
lions. This practically eliminates safety
for the pedestrian. The driver, too,
must be more careful, because In turn

Other Plans Considered.
The proposed change in the left turn

opposition.

NAVY TO MAINTAIN
TRAINING FLEET
Admiral Predicts Greater Eff.
fieiency for Sea Forces
by New Project.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The establishment Of training
squadron as part of the new operating
plan of the Navy developed by Admiral
william v. Pratt, chief of operations,
brings into effect project he long has
held essential to the greatest efficiency
of the United States sea forces.
Pratt Sponsored Plan.
Such a plan was sponsored by him as
commander in chief OF the United
States fleet. He saw necessity of re-
Iieving the actual fighting units of the
cumbersome routine of withdrawing
vessels for midshipmen's practice
cruises, Naval Reserve cruises, Reserve
Oficers' Training Corps cruises and
visitations to local celebrations.
During the Summer months each year
two or three battleships have been de-
tailed to take Annapolis midshipmen
on their annual cruise. On return in
the Fall there usually were Reserve
Corps units to conduct on cruise.
Meanwhile, destroyers were busy with
tire period the vessels were forced out
of participation in tactical maneuvers
and gunnery practice.
Two battleships, the Arkansas and
wyoming, and eight destroyers have
been set aside for the squadron which
is to operate on the Atlantic coast.
VIII Use Wyoming.
The Arkansas, at present flagship of
the Scouting Fleet, is the only battleship
in active service in the east coast fleet.
The light cruiser Augusta, now building
at Newport News, Va, will relieve the
Arkansas. The Wyoming has been des-
Philadelphia Navy Yard into a training
ship under terms of the London treaty.
The destroyers will be selected for
similarity of design, so the squadron
may economically carry only one type
Of repair parts.
