ASSaiIed by University
Professors.
SLIFER LEADS ATTACK
Condemns Whole System
as Excess Baggage in
Interview.

EXCESS baggage" was the term
used today by DR.. Walter L. Slifer,
assistant professor at Butler univer-
sity. to describe the nineteen hour
professional training requirement
for Indiana high school teachers.
Professor Slifer was one of The
more than 200 members Of college
faculties in the state who petitioned
the state education board to reduce
the requirement to twelve hours
and increase the number of hours in
subjects taught.
Last Saturday afternoon he threw
a bombshell into quiet meeting Of
the social science section of the
Indiana State Teachers Association
by bringing the matter up for dis
cuSsion.
AssaiIs Name Changing
He also assailed changing the
name of the section from that of
''history and social science and as
serted that to emphasize social SCI
ence rather than history in elemen-
tary and high schools is bad prac-
tice.
Social sciences as we'll as all this
teaching method nonsense needs to
be 'debunked,' to use a common
term" DR. Slifer told The Times
today. With all this talk about
saving money for the educational
taxpayer, nothing is done to cut
down the wasted course hours.
In my opinion, the whole teach
ing problem could be nine-tenths
solved by teachers knowing more
about their subject and less about
the teaching technique which has
been so OverstreSsed."
Cites English System
England was cited by Professor
Slifer as a country where the en-
phaSis has been placed on what
is taught and not how to teach it,
he said. The same applies there in
the history courses, where a pupil
isn't introduced to social sciences
until he is we'll grounded in the his
tory from which these things grew.
Surely no one will say that our
American common schools are doing
a better job in education than those
in England he told the teachers.
A sharp exchange followed, with
opposition to DR.. Slifer's views be-
ing led by G. o. Williams, secretary
of the teachers association.
That bitter fight looms on the
matter of changing course hours
was indicated when the matter first
was exposed by The Times some
weeks ago.
Survey Ordered by McNutt
At that time. Governor Paul V
McNutt ordered a survey of the
normal school courses. Although the
survey has been completed for some
time, it has not yet been made
public.
Course changes will be opposed by
those engaged in method teaching
and a fight to the last ditch made
it has been predicted by George c.
Cole. superintendent of public in
Struction.
Method teaching has been termed
largely an educational racket by
Professor Kenneth Williams of In
diana university who headed a ma
tonal committee making a study OF
the subject
DR.. Slifer, who is in the Butler
history department. was secretary OF
a state committee making a some
what similar survey. although con-
fined to history teachers. This COM
mittee learned that the majority OF
teachers were for more history and
less method in laying down require
ments

PRIVATE LIFE OF THE WYNEKOOPS
Mansion of Happiness Created as Doctors Family GrO7y

tation in medical circles, mother
had begun to dream of home OF
her own, with a nursery. This
dream my father shared.
Before all this could be ar
ranged, however, Lindsay was
born. Then, twenty months later,
on Dec. 5, 1908, to be specific,
Walker arrived.
So the dream house" in which
mother and dad hoped to rear a
large family, began to materialize.
That is the house at 3406 West
Monroe street to which some
writer's refer as the gloomy old
mansion"
Hardly was the family settled
within the friendly walls of this
house than Earle was born, on
New Years eve, 1905.
After Lindsay's birth, mother
was advised not to have any more
children. But her yearning for
family overcame her fears and
over-rode the doctors warning.
When her third son arrived,
she decided to name him after
the man who issued the warnings,
yet OBLIGATED" at all three births
DIR. James Earle. then a famous
Chicago obStetrician.
Earle was just beginning to
walk when Lindsay died. Mother
still was determined to have her
family, so she flirted with death
to have another child And so I
was born.
MY birth almost cost mother
AVA her life. She was in bed for
six months before I came and it
was a year afterward before she
could go around as usual.
Catherine must be the last"
DR.. Earle ordered.
What a pity! my mother an

1t was then that my parents be-
gan discussing the idea of adopt
ing a little sister for me. A close
friend told mother of a baby ten
weeks old who was to be given up
by her parents.
Although I was less than a year
old then, mother went at once to
see this child. AS she leaned over
the crib, the baby held out its
arms to her.
That night when dad returned
from his work at the hospital,
a cradle stood in the middle of
the library floor, while nearby
lowered mother and the boys.

"Doxey."
Both were working their way

about Frank Wynekoop.

she wouldn't come to Frank

heart was set upon his becoming

She arranged for him to spend
a summer in the office of a fam

wanted to become a doctor In

 In that observation, Keenan seems to have struck the keynote of the weakness of the old sys- tenn of crime prevention-the alli- ance between machine politicians and criminals who could grant election day favors. Such was the means by which Al Capone cement ed his power in Chicago, and so 1t has been with gangs in other big cities.
 How far the government could or should go. however, Is a smoot question. Obviously, suppression or ordinary crime is the duty of local communities. But so wide- spread has become the dissatis- faction with lax local law enforce ment that many persons are clam bring for the federal government to ignore the constitutional limita- tions imposed upon 1t and take over the job.

 Indicted under the Lindbergh Kidnapping law are Roger Touhy, chief of this band of "Chicagos most hard-boiled gangsters" and three of his aides. Originally, there were five Touhy brothers--the wayward sons of a respectable Chicago policeman--but one died in prison and another was killed in a gun battle.
 The arrest of Roger, the leader, and the flight of the other two brothers has scattered the gang which terrorized Chicago for years.

MEETING
 OF JEWISH PEOPLE
Will Be Held at Hebrew In. stitute Wednesday
 October IS

Local and out of town speakers will be heard at a mass meeting of representatives of thirty Jewish organizations at the Hebrew In- stitute, Wednesday, October, IS for the purpose of acting upon the boycott campaign against German made merchandise which is being sponsored by the American Jewish congress under the leadership of Samuel Untermeyer and Dr Ste- phen $. Wise.
 The local committee is the same committee which held the meeting in the Wilby High school in the early summer protesting against the treatment of the Jews by the Hitler government in Germany.
 Jews, as well as non-Jews throughout the world, have at- tempted all means of combating the anti-Semetic policies as we'll as all other oppressive measures of the Hitlerites, and the boycott movement has always been con- sidered the last resort.
 Recently 1000 delegates of the Labor party in England, represent ing S.000,00O English citizens. pledged themselves to boycott all German goods in order to rid the German laborer from the yoke of @ditierism. At the present moment the United Federation of Labor, now in convention, is considering boycotting Germany.
 The American Jewish Congress recently adopted a program of boy cott against Germany and the United Jewish committee of Wa terbury has called this meeting to cooperate with the American Jew ish congress.

Here are some suggestions that Keenan has put forward: 1. Legislation requiring the fngerprinting of every person in the United States, as an aid to crime detection-on the thtory that good citizens would not ob- ject. Already, Department of Justice bureau has 3,500,o00 fin- gerprints of arrested persons on file and thousands of criminals have been identified in this man. ner.
 2. Federal legislation destrict- ing sale, transportation, and pos session of firearms. Today any sort of weapon, including a ma- chine gun, can be bought legally by whoever has the money to pay for 1t.
 3. New legislation by which the authority grandte in the federal anti-trust laws could be used to suppress and curb racketeering, thus placing the war on racketeer- ing In the hands of the povern- ment, as already Is the case with the war on Kidnapping.

In addition, 400 New England war veterans were enrolled in the corps in the seven day period.
 Present indications are, General Conner said. that the mobilization will be brought to a successful conclusion week from to-day.
 The opportunity extended by the president for employment in the Corps this fall and winter is meet ing with overwhelming response from youths in the six New Eng land states unable to find jobs, General Conner said. A typical ex- ample of this was reported from Lynn, Mass, where TOO jobless youths registered with municipal welfare authorities for the quota of but 51 vacancies in the corps allotted to that city.
