the late Hans Chlumberg's saw
agely satirical postwar drama Miracle
of Verdun." Chlurnberg was a former
Austrian cavalry officer, who died a few
days after the first production of his
play last October, in Leipzig.
The size and novelty Of the produc-
ton and the tremendous possibilities Of
the plays basic idea-the physical res
direction of the war dead-surrounded
the Guilds experiment with more than
the usual flrst-night interest, and for
several Of the earlier scenes, at least,
this interest and curiosity were upheld.
The first curtain rose on q wide, lu-
minouS cross set against what sug-
gested a background of evening sky,
and before one had quite OWNED its
exact significance, its horizontal arm
flashed into three moving picture
screens, across which began to race
intensely realistic sound pictures of
troops charging through barrage and
fighting hand to hand in the trenches.
The sudden transition from the care

just seating themselves in their seats,
to what was, in effect, the thick of the
fighting of 1916, was dramatic and q

satirical, acted episode showing a crowd
Of tourists visiting the battleflelds.
There was the philosophical old
French caretaker, the flip guide and
typical tripper groups from all nations
including a 1oud-voiced American who
kept complaining that in Belgium the

of them, all in the same place, and for
a smaller round-trip fee. The various
types-German, French and others, and
their women and children-were well
differentiated and well cast; the whole
episode was written crisply and with
q savage bite, and in 1t, perhaps, the
production realized itself most success
fully.
These two episodes led naturally to
that In which the dead soldiers them
selves, once the tourists have gone,
come slowly to life and, picking up the
wooden crosses which had marked their
graves, and still in their rags, caked
with mud and. with the grayness of
death still on their faces, start q stag

episode, too, was well contrived and well
written, and its ending, when the
French and German dead saluted each
other and the latter shufled Off the
stage in weary marching order, sing

was affecting and dramatically ef-

EDUCATORS ARE
HEADING RIGHT
into HOT FRAY
Major Roy Is Brewing Over
Forthcoming Report of
Hoover Board.

BIZ Scrfpps-Hotoard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA ma
ior row among the nations educa-
tors is brewing over a forthcoming
report from President Hoover's ma
tional advisory committee on edu-
cation, which meets here Oct. 5 to
recommend a program for the gov
eminent in education.
The committee of fifty-two edu-
Gators has been at work for two
years. The crux of its report will
be a recommendation as to whether
there is needed a separate depart
ment Of education with an eleventh
cabinet member. About this pro-
posal, the storm now is raging.
A steering committee" of fifteen
has Issued a tentative "memoran-
dunn Of progress" suggesting Sec
rotary Of education, but one divest-
ed Of administrative functions, a
sort Of minister without portfolio,
whose duties would be those of re-
search and advice to the states. The
committee also is expected to rec
ommend federal aid to the states
to equalize educational opportuni-
ties.
Wilbur Is Opposed
Opposed to Capitalization of edu-
cational power in the government
is Secretary Wilbur, who organized
the Hoover committee. In 1929, DR..
Wilbur denoted the bureau of edu-
cation to the office of education"
and in his annual report that year
called Capitalization of any large
educational scheme in the federal
government "a distinct menace"
Backing a new portfolio Of edu-
cation with administrative powers is
the potent National Education AS
ISOLATION with its 100000 dues-pay-
ing teachers.
In 1880 and this year the N. E. A.
passed resolutions urging an adj
ministrative department Of educa-
ton to give education the same OBJ
portunities of federal guidance as
agriculture and commerce, but urg-
ing that control and direction be
maintained for the states.
Bias Is Charged
The first gun in open warfare just
has been fired by DR.. j. M. Cattell,
former Columbia professor. In a
bitter attack upon the committee
and its organizer, DR.. Wilbur, Cat
tell in School and Society" charges
that the committee has been
stacked against the N. E. A. pro-
gram.
He says that DR.. Wilbur, as
trustee Of Rockefeller Foundation
and president of privately endowed
Stanford university, starts with a
bias against public education.
"As a trustee of the Rockefeller
Foundation, DR.. Wilbur seems to
approve the control of higher edu-
cation from 81 Broadway" writes
Cattell.
He charges that little is to be ex-
pected from the Hoover commit
tee, whose director is DR.. Henry
Suzzalo, president of Carnegie
Foundation; whose chairman is DR..
G. r. Mann, director Of the council
on education, supported mainly by
private institutions and founda-
tions.'

Walnut Grove May
Build Costly Plant
for Sewage Disposal
Engineers Advise Plant May
Cost Between $4,000
and $4,000

Redwood Falls is not the only Red
wood county town faced with sew
age disposal problem according to
reports of a council meeting at Wal
nut Grove last week. That city is
faced with building a plant at cost
of between $4,000 and $4,000.
Two consulting engineers from ST..
Paul were hired by the village OF
Walnut Grove for the purpose of in
vestigating the conditions there, af-
ter three law suits from farmers and
land owners east Of town were threat
ened, claiming that the overflow had
done $14,5OO worth Of damages.
Arthur Millinowski, one of the
members of the firm investigating the
problem, was in Walnut Grove last
Monday and made a further survey
of the situation and a report at the
council meeting Monday evening. He
said secondary treatment is necessary
to remove the Objectionable elements
causing the farmers and land owners
to complain.
Mr.. Millinowski stated that if the
river into which the sewage is empty
ing were large enough, the trouble
could be removed by chlorination,
which would retard the action until
the sewage has been sufficiently dill
luted.
Many systems and locations could
be used as a remedy he said, but de-
finite suggestions will have to wait
until a more detailed survey and in
,vestigation is made.
Mr.. Millinowski also said that the
wastes from the creamery were not
taken care Of by the present type Of
sewage disposal plant.
