Purpose of Schooling.
Bx ANGELO rATRL

Why do we send children to SCHOOL,
II we thought bit more about the
matter, we might change much of our
educational practice.
Most Of our parents would reply, ITO
have them learn, of course" Truly.
Children should go to school that they
may learn. Now what is it they are to
learn? What Is ID they are to get out
Of the learning? Why must they know?
And how are they to learn? And what
are they to do with the learning?
We keep children in schools for eight
years. We keep most of them in classes
for six months ct stretch. Very re-
iuctantly we allow one or two Of them
to escape a term in every class or grade.
We insist upon o certain amount Of
menorized, practiced learning from
every pupil before promoting and grad
uating him. Is that why we send him
to school? That he may know the
names of the Presidents, capitals of the
States, the parts of speech. the courses
Of rivers and railroads, and be able to
write an application for a position?
There must be more than that.

order to teach him how to behave.

how to control his thought. what he

I would have him know how to be-
have toward his fellows. He must be
generous without extravagance. He
must be helpful without being intrusive.
He must be appreciative without being
compliant. He must honor himself so
that he fears to do wrong in the sight
of God and man.
And just how Is this to be done? Just
how are we to accomplish this end? 1t
Is easy to teach memory work. It Is
easy to teach bodily external response.
1t Is very, very difficult to set an atti-
tude Of questing, courteous, honorable
behavior. For that we must have the
great teacher. There must be time for
the teacher to influence the spirit OF his
pupils. There must be understanding
of the teachers function. School Is not

ct was understood between us that
we would be true to each other In every

II have gone to hear the music at

Have you never heard the old saw,
"All work and no play makes Jack q
dull boy? Recreation is only q little
less vital to human welfare than food
and sleep. Young muscles cry out for
exercise. Young hearts beat in tune to
their own music. The feet of 90 just
can't keep still. Dancing is their nat
ural expression. Have you never felt
like running race, dashing after a
fire engine or exploring In the woods?
Unconsciously you are attracted to
music and dancing and gayety. Other
wise you would not have attended 8
dance several times" And you would
not have had TO remind yourself Of your
promise In refusing further invitations.
Gall on your sweetheart tonight and
ask her to 60 to dance with you. Tell
her that since she gave up dancing for
two years for your sake, you're going
to try to learn to like 1t for her sake.
Congeniality and mutual attraction
strengthen relationships, not meaning
less promises, no matter how faithfully
observed. Friendship Is a perpetual
compromise. Love is eternal self-sacri-
fee. No two persons are so alike that
the will of one may be completely inn
posed upon the other without disaster.

SPANS most accomplished royal muir
derer was Peter, King Of CASTLE and
Leon, f1ttingly called Peter the Cruel.
His reign was one of massacre and
assassination. Any one unfaithfm "a
him died by the dagger.
His half brother, Fadrique, he feared
as a possible claimant Of the throne.
He invited him to his court, showed the
greatest cordially, and had him bru-
tally slain.
Two days after marrying the French
Princess Blanche of Bourbon he quit
her side and had her confined at Toledo
The people rose In sympathy and res
cued her. He marched to put down
the uprising, but could not, 30 adopted
artiflce. He begged Blanche for q
reconciliation. The minute she con-
sented and returned to him he had her
imprisoned. Soon her death followed.
The time was ripe for revolution.
Henry of Trastamara, brother of Fad
rique, Peters victim, headed It: The
famous Free Companies, which, re-
cruited from both Frenchmen and
Englishmen, lived by war, aided him.
Peter was deposed and Henry assembled
the throne.
It is hard 70 keep bad ruler down.
Peter rtlslns to young Edward the
his victory ct Poitaers, and his cousin,
and asked his aid In regaining hio
Kingdom. TIE son Of Edward III, not
knowing what o villain Peter was,
granted it.
Naturally the English Free Companies,
which had aided Henry Of Trastamara
against Spaniards, wouldn't fight against
their own Black Prince. They deserted
him, and having no help but that of
the French, he was defeated by Ed
ward and Peter In April, 1887. This
was on a broad plain near the River
Najerillo.
The triumphant Peter now revealed
himself IN his true light. He sought
Henry Of Trastamara eagerly 50 that he
could stab him, and he offered to ran
some ell the prisoners from the Black
Prince 80 that he could kill the Cas-
tilians. Edward Indignantly refused the
offer.

did much damage to shipping In the

a study of this storm, and came to the
conclusion that, with the aid Of tele-

Europe might have been predicted, so
that the disaster to the ships could have
been averted. Thus began the first

Says Audit of Books War

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, January 17.-Deputy
District Attorney Daniel Beecher, in
charge of an investigation of the finan-

today that an audit of the books of the
mother church of the group headed by
Aimee Semple Mcpherson, evangelist,
warranted further inquiry" which
probably would result in a grand jury
probe.
While he declined to reveal what the
audit had disclosed, Beecher said:
If there should be an indictment for
Encouragement of funds, there GER
tainly will be some sensational dis
closures. and even if it does not come
to an indictment some of these dis
closures probably will be made anyway"
Beecher's investigation was begun
three months ago, after DR.. John
Cohen, who at the time just had been
discharged as assistant pastor at the
Temple, alleged Mrs. Mcpherson had
converted money belonging to her con-
gregation to her own use.

TORECLA|M BANDIT
Roy Gardner Leaves ST.
EIizabeth'S to Continue on
75-Year Sentence.

Adjudged mentally competent and
with 68 years of 75-year term to serve
in Jail for mail train hold-ups, Roy
Gardner. notorious robber, was released
from St.. Elizabeth's Hospital in the
custody of three deputy United States
nnarshals yesterday and left Washing
ton for Leavenworth Disciplinary
Prison at Leavenworth, Kans., the NTH
Government penal institution In which
he has been confined.
In 1920 Gardner gained notoriety
through series of hold-ups on the
Pacific Coast and subsequent escape
from McNeils Island. Wash.
The freedom gained by Gardner
through the escape from McNielS
Island lasted only a short time, as he
was captured by a clerk on the Atchi-
son. Topeka g. Santa Fe Railroad when
he attempted to hold up and rob the
railway employ of a SIS 900 shipment.
Confined to Leavenworth Prison De-
cember Il, 1921, Gardner served four
years. but was transferred to the peni-
Tertiary at Atlanta, as it was feared
he had sufficient knowledge of the
former institution to permit his escape.
Kept under surveillance in Atlanta,
Gardner made no sensational moves
until September 10, 1929, when he bsgan

mis- being brought to st. Elizabeth'S for
mental observation.
Although officials at st. Elizabeth's
would not admit that Gardner's hunger
strike had been faxed in order to OBJ
lain transfer from Atlanta. they de-
sicred he was in excellent shape and
had been partaking regularly of food
On his departure from the hospital
the mail bandit was confined to bull
let-proof van.
Deputy Marshals Gus Cerimele,
Harold T. Scott and Edward A. Sackey
refused to discuss the method they
would adopt to prevent Gardner from
making a break from the train. On
his trip North, however, he was heavily
manacled in the drawing room.
Chained to the berth and wearing leg
irons, there was little chance for
Gardner to escape and 1t Is believed
that it will be in this manner that he
is taken to I,eavenworth.
The institution to which Gardner will
be confined on his arrival at Leaven-
worth is the old Army prison recently
adopted by the Department of Justice
for confinement of Government prison.
