TEACHERS DEGREES
GIVEN FIRST CLASS
Wilson Graduates Are Told to
Shun Profession Unless
F They Love II.

Fifty graduates of the Wilson Teach
ers' College-the first students to re-
ceive academic degrees in the white
divisions of the District Of Columbia
public schools-were advised at their
commencement last night to get out
Of teaching quickly if they found they
didn't like teaching or children.
DR.. Lois Hayden Meek. professor Of
education at Columbia University, New
York, and herself an alumni of old
Wilson Normal School here, was the
commencement speaker at the exer-
cises, held in the Roosevelt High School
auditorium After reviewing the de-
mands which the world makes on edu-
cation, and which education, in turn,
makes upon its personnel, DR.. Meek
said:
"If you don't like teaching, if you
don't like children. get out of the pro-
fession. Don't wait until you are mar
ried-because for some teachers that
is a long time! The chief trouble
with education itself today is there are
too many teachers who don't like their
jobs"
Chief Role of Education.
In world demanding social recon-
struction, the schools are being turned
to more than ever before, DR.. Meek
declared, for solutions and explanations
of the difficulties. The chief role
which education must play, she said
is threefold: .
l. 1t must inform on present social
conditions and aid in the understand
ing Of the forces at work which make
those conditions.
2. 1t must build concept for ade-
quate welfare for all people, and
8. 1t must analyze all the possible
methods of attaining social welfare.
The first essential in playing this
role, DR.. Meek said, is trained teachers.
Another important aspect of education
is the offering of real choices" to the
students who, she contended, cannot
fit into standard pedagogic schedules
because of the individualism of each.
Degrees Are Conferred.
Following DR.. Meek's address, the
candidates for degrees were presented
by Dr. Edgar c. Higbie, president OF
the college, to DR.. Hayden Johnson,
president of the Board of Education
and chancellor of National University.

CHRISTMAS CHECKS
BRING SMILES

Many Hamiltonians, 4,795 of them
are wearing broad smiles this week
as the result of dropping their Bit
each week during the past year in
one of the Christmas clubs conducted
by the various banks in the city.
Coming just at this time of the
year, when Santa Claus is peeping
around the corner, the club members
have just cause for rejoicing over
their thoughtfulness and thriftiness
in the months past
The club checks this year total
$4,000. A neat sum that will go
far towards meeting all kinds of ex-
penses and paying of taxes, etc. The
merchants of Hamilton will be much
benefited too as much of the money
will be expended for Christmas pur-
chases. Clubs are now forming in
all banks for next year, and it would
be well for all to join, if only in a
small way.

An indication that the United

French action against Germany II

given by Secretary Of State Hull
today.
He said if the nations agreed to
disarm, this Government would
not throw anything in their way
when they were trying to prevent
treaty violations.
Hull declined to elaborate on
this significant statement except
to state that the American policy
as enunciated by Ambassador
Norman H. Davis at Geneva last
May remained unchanged.
At that time, Davis said that
the United States was willing to
consult with other states in case
of a threat to peace with a view
to averting conflict and that if
this Government agreed there had
been violation of international
obligations, it would refrain from
any action tending to defeat col
lective efforts which might be
taken by other states to restore
peace.
France is now endeavoring to
obtain a pledge from Great
Britain to join i. sanctions against
Germany in the event that nation

NEW YORK, Sept. % G.N.SO :.
Extension of direct governmental
credit to Soviet Russia for pur-
chase of basic commodities in this
country has been brought nearer
realization, according to reports
in financial circles today, by re-
cent conferences between Henry
Morgenthau, jr., and officials OF
the Amtorg Trading Corporation,
commercial representative OF the

Morganthau, governor Of the
Farm Credit Administration, des-
ignated by President Roosevelt to
lead the Russian trade negotia-
tions, held several conferences
with Peter Bogdanov, chairman
of Amtorg, according to the re-
ports.
It is understood the negotiations
are aimed at extension of credit
to the Soviets on more liberal
terms than the RFC credit given
in July for purchase of American
cotton.
Possibility of United States rec
ognition of Soviet Russia drew
from Representative Hamilton

Poland, Belgium to Follow
French Lead; Political
Lives at Stake
BY International News Service

France definitely intends to
default on the $22,O0O,0OO
debt payment due this coun-
try on December Is, and prob
ably will be followed by at
least two of her satellites,
Belgium and Poland, Interna-
tional News Service was in
formed by an authoritative
source today.
French political circles regard
the debts owed the United States,
totalling $4,oOO.OOO,OO0, as "an-
cient history" it was said.
Political Lives at Stake
A premirel1t member Of the
French Chamber u n puties re-
Gently informed an American Of
ficial privately that there was vir"
tually no chance Of getting a reso-
luton through the French cham
ber calling for further debt pay
ments to this country under exist
ing agreements.
It appeared, the French Deputy
advised, about as easy as it would
be to get the American Congress
to pass a resolution calling for
outright cancellation of the debts.
In view of the overwhelming op-
position, members of the French
government have informed Amer
lean officials privately that no
government could last "a hours
which attempted to resume pay
mentS without an advance prom
Use of drastic reduction Of the
total debt.
The Word is "Defer"
With little hope of such a
promise being given by President
Roosevelt before Congress meets,
French government circles regard
it as a foregone conclusion that
it will be necessary once again to
"defer" payment when December
IS comes around.
If such is the case, it will be
the third time in succession that
France has defaulted on debt pay
ments due this government. The
French government failed to meet
the $19,432.50 payment due last
December and also the $4O.738.-
567.50 due June Is. .
With these defaulted payments
added to the $22, ,200,926.54 in
stallment due December Is next.
the amount actually due on that
date totals $82, ,200.926.54.
U. S. Loss $1O6,OOO,OOO
Both Poland and Belgium also
defaulted on the last two pay
ments, and if they join with
France again in December, as
seems likely. the United States
will face a loss in estimated gov
ernmental receipts OF $105,824,-
1908 from those three nations
alone.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State
Hull announced he hopes early
next week to get around to the
arrangements for the debt re-
vision parade of the non-default-
ing nations, due to start the first
week in October.

The Hohenzollern dynasty is so

such an act would be impossible
