ADULT EDUCATION
PROMOTION URGED
Chamber of Commerce Committee
Issues Statement After Two.
Month Study.

The Committee on Universities, Col
leges and Private Schools of the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce at a
meeting last night urged adoption of a
plan for promotion of adult education.
The committee, of which Col. William
O. Tuft is chairman, released a state
ment today in which it pointed out as
a result of a two-month study of adult
education:
Il. The adult education movement
has been spreading throughout the
country, particularly during the last 10
years. and is now generally recognized
by thinking people as a needed and
constructive activity.
"2. The period of the business de-
preston offers special advantages for
the trying out of soundly conceived
plans for adult education because of
greater amount Of spare time and will
ingness to expend some part of 1t in
self-education.
80. In addition to above reasons,
Washington offers a splendid field of
experiment because Of the higher aver
age intelligence level OF its inhabitants,
many of whom want to continue self
education, but who cannot afford the
time and costs of school or university
instruction periods"
E. E. Naylor was chairman of the
subcommittee which had as members
Hettie P. Anderson, Robert w. Davis,
P. j. Harmon, P. j. Liverone, Clifford

ACCEPTED BY CHIEF
Letter to GIassford Settles
Controversy Growing Out
of Mitchell Report.
TEXT OF COMMUNICATION
ON B. &. F. NOT REVEALED
Bean and Edwards Also Submit
Statements to Police Depart
ment Head.

Brig Gen, Pelham D. Glassford, Su-
perintendent of police, today accepted
the explanation of Inspector o. T. Davis
of the statement attributed to him that
he had orders to keep his men from the
bonus army encampments on the day of
the rioting. This settled amicably a
controversy that had threatened to re-
suit in disciplinary action against the
officer.
The explanation was contained in a
report Gen. Glassford demanded when
he read the recent statement of Attor-
ney General Mitchell in which the po-
lice inspector was quoted as saying he
had orders to keep the men under his
command out of the bonus camps. The
statement was viewed by Gen. GlaSSford
as an apparent lack of loyalty"
Not Made Public.
Gen. GlaSsford did not make pub
lie the report of Inspector Davis, nor
the reports submitted by Inspectors T.
r. Bean and L. I. H. Edwards which
he called for the day following his
demand for an explanation from Davis.
Inspectors Edwards and Bean and
E. w. Brown, in command OF the Traf-
fic Bureau. were asked for reports on
their statements to the District Com
missioners regarding the need for
troops.
Inspector Brown was in Chicago at
the time and has not yet returned, but
Gen. GlasSford does not plan now to
ask him for a written report.
Davis Pledges Loyalty.
Inspector Davis, in addition to max
ing an explanation o. his statement,
Gen. GlaSSford said, also pledged his
loyalty and cooperation to him.
Prior to announcing the acceptance
of Inspector Davis explanation, Gen
Glassford conferred with Maj. Gen.
Herbert B. Crosby, Commissioner in
charge of police. Gen. Glassford, how
ever. did not reveal whether the Davis
report was discussed at the conference.

have a perfect record of efficiency for
the last three consecutive years. dur
ing which no child was killed or seri-
ously injured at or near school build
ing while patrol was on duty. This
report, he said, is the enviable one

tinue this year. In order to promote the

which has made their record possible.

thanks when he spoke briefly after the

MARVIN STRESSES
NEED Of LEADERS
Universities Seen Failing in
Production of Bold, Con-
Structive Thinkers.

Declaring the reason American educa-
tion has failed to produce leaders is be-
cause it has given so much time to the
lifting of masses to somewhat higher
cultural levels" DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin,
president of George washington Uni
versity, told his faculty last night that
universities must develop higher educa-
ton that will make full use of knowl-
edge for "the elevation of scholarly men
equipped in fine social morality"
At the first meeting of the year, in
Corcoran Hall, DR.. Marvin said:
by and large, university men
today are not we'll prepared to accept
a time of change such as civilization
now confronts."
He said -mindedness" is the curse
of present social and economic life, and
charged that while Americans talk
much of courage and brag about indi-
yidualism, we are foolishly weak and
desire, perhaps more than any other ma
ton In the world, to lose ourselves IN
conformity"
I'VE have come to the place in ou1
civilization" he asserted, where, there
must be thinking. Our minds musl
play freely over all the conditions ano
tendencies until we either can justify
our institutions or change them.
There has been a social lag in edu-
eetion-a diffrential in thought be-
tween our so-called scientific and in
dustriaI development and the develop
ment of the social attitudes and apti'
tudes which would enable us to use
such knowledge for the greatest good
of the greatest number.
This social lag does not imply thai
there is too much scie::ce training. but
to our day comes the challenge OF de-
veloping higher education that shall
make for the full use of such knowl-
edge as is possessed for the elevation
of scholarly men equipped in fine social
morality"
