American University. with its
rolling hills, huge old trees and
scattered buildings presents to
the incoming freshman class
this year, a better appearance
than it has offered to any of
the previous six incoming
freshmen groups. The rains of
this year, contrasted to the
drought last year, has made a
green campus, as contraSted to
the burned and dried up one of
last year. Much painting and
repairing has been done during
the year, and the shrubs, in

made more growth during the
summer months than during

School Head
Studies English System

Robert MacCartee, whose ap-
.pointment as master in the
Landon School for Boys was
announced last May by Paul
L. Banfield, headmaster of the
school, landed in New York
September 5, after a three
months tour of European
schools.
Because of the similarity of
Landon to the English system
Mr.. MacCartee spent most CT
his time studying the famous
English schools. Using Lon
don as a base he visited most
of the well known schools
within a wide radius. Par
ticularIy was he interested in
the great difference in the
physical education program Of
the average American private
school and the English.
Mr.. MacCartee's interest in
art together with the fact that
he is to teach history Of art
at Landon School this fall,
also led to his including visits
to many famous art collections
in his trip.
Mr.. MacCartee was grad

TULIUI[1
New Courses Are Planned
As Contribution to Pro-
gram to BicentenniaI Fete
A substantial group of new
courses for advanced students
dealing with American, foreign
and domestic policy as laid
down by George Washington
and his associates will be re
examined at the Georgetown
University School of Foreign
Service this year in the light
of the experience of the last
century and a half. These
courses have been outlined as
a definite contribution toward
the program for the Washing
ton Bicentennial.
A study of the economic
policies of Washington and his
contemporaries will be given
by Dean William F. NotZ short
ly after the school opens on
october /. Another course by
Dean Notz will deal with the
basic economic problems which
confronted the founders of the
republic and the extent to
which they were reflected in
the Declaration of Independ
ence, the Articles of the Con
federation and the Constitu
ton.
Finance Progress
DR.. Notz will trace the eff
feet of local American en-
Vironment and the extent also
to which European Ideas anc
traditions influenced anc
guided Washington end his
associates in providing for the
future industry, commerce anC
trade of the new nation. Ir
the second seminar, DR.. Notz
will trace the development Of
the public finance of the ma
ton from the days Of Wash
ington and Hamilton.
Two other important courses
in the field of international
law will be given by DR.. James
Brown Scott and his associate
DR.. Thomas H. Healy. The
first of these will deal with
disarmament and it's relations
to world peace and a second
with nationality, one Of prime
Importance since the new divi,
Sions in Europe.
Monroe Doctrine
In the discussions Of dis.
armament, the present day
policies of the United States
towards peace and war will be
compared with those estab
lished by George Washington
whose state papers and other
pronouncements have pro
foundly influenced the policy
of the United States.
In the second group Of sem
mars dealing with foreign re
lationS of the United States,
DR.. Scott and DR.. Healy will
trace the origin of the Monroe
Doctrine from its earliest man
ifestations during the era of
Was ington and the beginning
of the tremendous influence ex,
erted on the growth of the
country through immigration.
Two courses by DR.. William
Boyd-Carpenter will deal with
European governments in
Washington's time as COM
pared with today, and with
Asiatic governments during
the same period. These sem
mars will discuss the impor,
tant developments of a century
and a half in governmental
ideas and seek to ascertain the
influence of the American Rev
olution on the progress of
political thought.

CHICAGO, October Sl.-Dr. Fred
eric w, Schultz of the University Of

ceSsive feeding of milk to pre-school-

1t is generally unwise to give the
quart of milk daily so widely advertised

Schultz, who is chief of the university's
department of pediatrics. in addressing
the Chicago Regional White House Con-
ference on Child Health and Protection.
Excessive Use of cows milk and q
diet notably deficient in vitamin con-

said.

We are facing the possibility and
probability of a larger measure Of
human suffering this Winter than ever
before in the history of this country"
Hodson declared Unless we can pro-
vide the means for relief. either through
private or public financing We shall
face kind of national disaster that Is
quite unthinkable.
Definite Decision Urged.

workers are not going to adopt the at

Is not your concern, but instead, that
you are going to have convictions on
this issue. We have come to the point
where we must say definitely that this
thing ought to be done or ought not to
be done. By making this decision We
will have assumed the leadership that
the country needs so much today"
A community plan. embodying four

UNKNOWN CORNERS
OF UNIVERSE Barred
Giant Telescope May Force
Scientists to Change
Present Theories.
~ the Associated Press.

n the Associated Press
PRINCETON. n. J., October 81 The
FIRST complete popular picture q those
parts Of the universe discovered To date
with the worlds greatest telescope was
described At Princeton University
Thursday.
The talk was by DT Edwin Hubble,
world famous observer on the l0o-inch
telescope at Mount Wilson, Calf. whose
observations recently have helped Elm
stein and others To begin revision Of
their ideas of creation.
Or. Hubble described the region OF
the nebulae. 30 600 600 OF them, each
q separate universe. much like the milky
way. which Is the universe" Of 200
million light years in diameter TO which
the earth belongs.
Seen Beyond Vast Void.
The l00-inch telescope which he
said, could distinguish an arc light on
the moon, shows the Nebulae lying be.
yond a vast void surrounding the Milky
Way II shows them as far out as
10000 900 light years
These island universes are rushing
around in space, each in its oWrl dtrec-
ton. at an average speed of about 100
miles a second But all OF those very
far out appear TO be receding from the
earth at speeds increasing with the
distance. The fastest one seems to be
speeding away at $4,000 miles q second.
One of the most startling facts
shown by the big telescope is that the
distribution OF the Nebulae, when con-
sidered on a grand scale, is approx
rnately uniform In space. Everywhere
and in all directions" said Or. Hubble.
''the observable region appears to be
very much the same"
Old Conception Changed.
On the basis Of this uniformity and
other observations a different concep-
ton of the nature OF the universe is
possible. The present Interpretation
accepted as the most probable one is
the relativistic idea. which limits space.
An example of another possibility is
o revival of the old idea of a super
system Of nebulate. the Milky Way be-
ing just one of the 10000, 900 and more
parts Of a system too vast for any
telescope yet to discern the outer
limits,
This super-system would not go on
forever, according to the scientific con-
cept, but would finally reach an end.
Space, however, could extend beyond
the super-system and might be much
larger and different than the limited
space postulated by relatively.
