COLLEGE METHODS
SCORED BY LEWIS
Teaching System and Rules
Governing Admission
Are Attacked.

The methods of teaching and the
process for admission to college as APP
Piled at the American institutions OF
higher learning, were scored by William
Mather Lewis, president Of Lafayette
College and former president of George
Washington University, at a banquet
of the Association Of Military Colleges
and Schools, In the Hotel Maydower
last night.
The association, which is holding its
seventeenth annual meetings here. closes
the convention with business session
late this afternoon.
Declaring America has made fe-
fish of college education" DR.. Lewis said,
"as a result there are thousands OF
young people in our institutions OF
higher learning, who for their own
good and that of society IN general
should be elsewhere"
DR.. Lewis said it is clear that the
process should not be based on a stu
dents record in preparatory school or
his success In passing entrance examl-
nations. The principal factor to be de-
termined is that of intellectual curiosity:
THE most important function OF
school and college is to teach pupils
HOW LII 44GN4o 9NAA' AS
under present conditions, with our COM
plicated programs and multitudinous ex-
ira curriculum activities, we do not
give them time to think"
Secretary of War Hurley, another
speaker, praised military instruction In
the schools and colleges as providing
an antidote to the spirit of lawlessneSs
which pervades the Nation"
Brig. Gen. Edward L. King, assistant
chief of staff of the Army, held up
military training in educational insti-
tutions and the Reserve Officers Train
ing Camps as important means of
combating the influence Of pacifist
organizations.
Mai. Gen. John A. Lejeune, former
commandment of the United States
Marine Corps and now superintendent
of the Virginia Military Institute, was
another speaker.

national committee, on the theory that
his usefulness to the Republican ma
tional committee as national leader has
been impaired.
Senator Caraway said that there was
nothing to prevent an Individual Sen
and offering resolution of censure of
Mr.. Huston If he desired to dc. so.
It was recalled that when the lobby
committee had submitted its report on
Senator Bingham of Connecticut, who,
while member Of the Senate finance
committee, had employed and put on
the Senate pay roll Charles L. Eyanson,
assistant to the president of the Con-
necticut Manufacturers Association,
during the consideration of the tariff
bill by the finance committee, Senator
Norris of Nebraska, not a member of
the lobby committee, had offered q res
olution censuring Senator Bingham.
The Norris resolution, after 1t had been
amended, was adopted by the Senate.
Debate Is Forecast.
If resolution is offered in the Senate
censuring Mr.. Huston, now chairman Of
the Republican national committee, it
is likely to lead to debate. Further,
some of the Republican members of the
Senate are likely to be placed in an
embarrassing position, for it is known
that some of them condemn the activi-
ties of Mr.. Huston in connection with
Muscle Shoals and the contribution Of
the Union Carbide Co. of $36,100. At
the same time, these Senators do not
relish the idea of having to vote to
censure the chairman Of the Repub-
lican national committee.
This report of the Senate lobby COM
mittee, particularly if it is followed
by q motion in the Senate to censure
Mr.. Huston, and the debate on the
Muscle Shoals bill, is likely to keep the
agitation over the Republican national
chairman in the lirnelight for some
weeks to come, it was said today.
The report of the lobby committee
dealing with Mr.. Huston and any res
olution Of censure which may follow
will be denounced by Mr.. Huston'S
friends as political move.
