HARLINGEN, Sept. 25.-Chang-
ing conceptions Of education were
discussed by j. p. Buck, new SUPER
intendent OF schools and organizer
Of the Lions club at Sour Lake, be-
fore the Harrington Lions Thursday.
He urged everyone TO continue his
interest in the schools even after
they finish their courses because OF
the many changes taking place.
Education Is no longer regarded as
a mere acquisition OF facts he said
and emphasis Is being shifted from
the subject to the pupil with the re-
suit that teachers must know somc-
thing about children as well as their
courses In order TO secure positions.
Children are no longer considered
as miniature adults. he said. and
1t has been found that even adoles-
cence Is divided into distinct periods
This discovery has led to establish
ment OF junior high schools TO p-o-
vide proper training and handling
during this formative age.
Parental education Is being Stress
ed. This was brought out at the
white House children's welfare con-
ference to which he was a delegate,

hAtOL San DE4NllO
Those two outstanding Orientals,
Anna May Wong and SeSsue Haya-
kawa, are very much worthwhile at
the Rivoli Theatre, San Benito. to-
day and Saturday. where they are
featured with Warner GLAND, the
original Flu Manchu, in a new cpl
sode OF the fascinating Sax Rohm-
er series, filmed by Paramount as
Daughter Of the Dragon"
For those who like romance sea-
soned with puzzles, thrills and ac-
ton evolved from lurking mystery,
this production talks right out and
says big things to any movie audi
ence.
The scene Of action spins from
Limehouse London's gay white way,
and murky Thames River, to luxuri-
Gus estates Of the titled. There are
plenty OF secret panel. and passage
ways, ominous shadows. and a
climax that will grasp your heart
tighter than baby hands can take
hold Of a preferred finger or doc
dad.
CAPITOL
With a gay, whimsical humor all
its W and a series OF delightful
surprises scattered through the
story, The Brat" easily wins a
place among the most enjoyable
film offerings of the year.
This Fox picture, with the pi-
quaint Sally ONeil in the name
part and a brilliant cast, proves
highly ~diverting at the Capitol
Theatre. Saturday only. where the
the film begins its local showings.
Maude Fulton's clever play about the
conceited author and the Bowery
girl he picks up as a h -oiae for his
next novel has gained much in
both realism and entertainment
through its translation on the
screen.
Miss ONeil is. to risk a bromide.
an ideal choice for the sassy but
ever appealing Brat. BY one of
those inexplicat.e miracles that oc-
cur every SO ten in picturedom,
she is The Brat"and her per-
Torrance is a sheer delight as She
runs the gamu. from impudence 10
pathos and from wisecrackinq to
furious denunciation.

ALASKAN SALMON SHOW
INCREASE IN TRADE

Alaskan salmon industry, according
TO the Bureau Of Fisheries, shows no
signs OF having been affected by the
so-called business depression.
A tentative estimate, according to q
recent report made by Lewis Radcliffe,
deputy commissioner, of the pack for
the 1881 season to August 81, showed O
total OF $685., 461 cases, as against 4,839,-
500 cases in 1880 to August 81, and
5,032 1926 for the entire season of 1880.
Radcliffe said the output Of red SAL
mon in 1891 is almost double to that
of the preceding year and also shows
a fair increase over the average for the
Swear period. This he said was due
primarily to the splendid runs in the
important Bristol Bay region
Comparing the preliminary figures
for 1891 with the average for the 81
year period from 1926 to 1880, by dis
tricts, both southeastern and western
Alaska showed gains of approximately
per cent, while for Central Alaska
there was decline Of II per cent.
