Going to New York
The First Lady will spend a
few days in New York this
week, returning Saturday morn
ing in time to take part in
two Christmas parties arranged
to bring cheer to the needy of
the District. If her engage.
ments permit, she will visit the
unemployed women's camp at
Bear Mountain while in New
York.
Mrs. Warren Delano Robbins,
who with her distinguished hus-
band, the Minister to Canada,
was an overnight guest at the
White House, was present at
the conference yesterday, pre-
paratory to leaving for New
York, where they will be guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. Vincent AStor
for few days.
Mrs. Robbins. who Is a great
beauty, looked perfectly charm
ing in a severely tailored black
wool two-piece dress, trimmed
with rather large buttons with
loops, and opened down the
front to show a white vest.
Her small black hat, trimmed
across the front with narrow
white grosgrain ribbon, was the
last word in SmartnesS. She
wore a pair of diamond brace
lets, set with pearls which were
exquisite, and a pearl necklace.

First Lady is Means Of Hell ping Poor

Mrs Roosevelt being overwhelmed with requests and
suggestions due report that she had been
given $4,000 to distribute the needy at Christmas This
about through story she told of the record
era weeks of her conferences to the effect that
short time BEFORE she had received two letters in the
mail from Detroit from leading citizen there,
who is of group of who years ago sold papers
the streets of that city, and who have since attained
affluence.
Each Christmas, for number of years past these
have sold papers for hour and half the Streets and
good times have made several thousand dollars because
people knew the purpose for which the sale carried
and would pay very handsome sum for single copy.
With the proceeds clothing food and toys bought to
cheer those who needed them.
This year. this group decided to abandon the sale and give
dinner and the letter which Mrs Roosevelt received
planning their annual sae requested her and she
also asked to speak.
The other letter from another resident of Detroit
who wished $4,000 to needy children in that city,
but at loss, apparently to what to to
distribute it.
This desire his part engendered by picture
which he years before, (when he in much less
affuent condition). of child with empty stocking
Christmas morning. It touched him deeply, that each
year since he could afford it, he has set aside fund to
help fill as many stockings possible.

to give it, some original and we'll de-
fined educational policies. President
Butler at Columbia formulated and
personally carried out most of the edu-
cational ideas which that university
illustrates. President Meiklejohn at
Amherst modified the program of that
college to conform to the kind of educa-
ton he believed in. The youthful Presi-
dent Hutchins at Chicago is formulating
and putting into practice certain per-
sonal convictions.
But in general the American univer-
sity president must build up his influ-
ence, as it were, from day to day by
holding the confidence of the varied
groups interested in his institution
which means that he must avoid antag-
onizing them-and by suggesting his
educational theories indirectly, so that
they will emerge in the faculty rooms
In proposals by professors who imagine
they invented the ideas themselves, q

istration Of the budget, for university
discipline, for its educational policy.
Most observers would state his functions
in that order, with the budget coming
first and the educational policy last. In
most cases he must spend large energies
raising money, either for the ordinary
suStenance of his institution, or for spe-
cial endowments or enterprises in re-
search. To collect these sums he must
have acquaintance with those who
possess the money, he must have their
confidence and he must have strong
powers of persuasion. This means that
he must inherit or acquire most of the
qualities of the diplomat and the poll
tician. The chief source of support will
be the alumni, all of whom will be fond
of their Alma Mater, but very few of
whom will be interested in scholarship.
He must keep alive their miscellaneous
loyalty, and direct or divert it, often
surreptitiously, to scholarly purposes.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1933-07-09

In the formulation of educational
policy most presidents leave the overt
leadership in the hands of the faculty,
preferring to influence the universitys
program in indirect ways The most
obvious Of these indirect ways is a by
product of the money raising. If uni
versity president believes more in GER
tain subjects than in others, it need not
surprise you If the money contributed
by benefactors during his administration
will be chiefly for the promotion of his
favorite causes.
y There are notable exceptions to this
rule of indirect influence, though the
rule seems to me a general and very
significant one. President Eliot of Har-
ward was an exception. What he did
by way of changing the American col
lege curriculum was his own work,
executed upon his own clearly an
nounced theories. Woodrow Wilson at
Princeton gave his university, or tried

These brilliant men, simultaneously

event. The fact that three have been

the fact that they are young, as uni

an important season, if you are con-

 ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME
 the thrift of those who have gain The only source of cash income is,derived from serving big game Hunters, trapping and sniping gold from the bars of the river. As the >gold4bearingAgravel extend from Copper Landing to skilak lake, 1t is hssible during low water to snipa sufflcient from the exposed bars to supply "a gruhstake.
 This area was tested with drill by two prospective dredge organi- zations, and gave an average. ac- cording to- legend, of 35 cents per yard with gold rated at little more than $16 per, ounce. With the price now, increased 50 per cent, } this value climbs to about 50 cents per yard. Which leads to the belle1 that the time is not far distant when the entire region will: be in demand for dredging. Especially is this optimism based on, the, great economy with which the ground could be handled owing to acces- sibility, low costs of foodstuffs and 7 general: distribution of values in a

However, while this serves in sum- mer and is. the lure for many peo- pie from towns to journey to the landing when the big game, season opens, it entails a period of several months before the ice becomes sufficient tot bear a: dogteara, dur ing which all 5 traffic is via tine Quartz creek trail to Moose Pass and thence to the railroad. l'o P, ? Efforts are being made to have the road extended from it's terml- nus seven miles below Cooper Landing to Kenai2 Already MT. Heintzeln1an, of the Forestry de- pertinent, has paid Cooper Land ing a visit and secured the endor- sation of every resident to the project. Once, this road, is com pleted, it. will open one of the larg- est, ,aAeas of farming land in Alas ka, where climatic conditions offer every opportunity for raising all most any kind of crop, including cattle, sheep, poultry and hogs.

 Here again the absence of trails plays an important part The only access which penetrates any dis tance into the hills to the south is the forestry trail leading from a point at the bridge spanning Schooner Bend, up the Russain riv- Ter past lower and upper Russian lakes and deboucning opposite Por- cupine Island, or some 12 miles down the lake from the landing at Lawing. Here boat must be used to travel further up the lake. A trail also leads across Russian riv- CT and on to Skilak lake, but is now much overgrown.
 With the increased price of gold and the stinulant it should offer to investors and financers of pros pecting parties, there is a treasure house only awaiting proper adver- tising to make it one of the richest portions of Alaska. r..

tion campaign, to offset the re-
cent tremendous deflation in the
bank closings.
Beer Aids Sentiment

running to 5000 shares and the
high speed ticker struggled to
keep abreast Of the transactions
in the early dealings.

aggressive sponsorship on Satur-
day, continued to meet persistent
demand and were at the head Of
the rise. Both the U. S. Steel
and Bethlehem common and pre-
ferred issues rose l to 2 points
Utilities Improved

eolidated Gas and American Tele-
phone scoring good gains. Copper

Although a cautious buying
attitude persists in the Union Of

Coffee Trade Quiet

Wall Street interests were fairly
active in the coffee market last
week, buying futures on the New

in anticipation of some sort Of
initiation which they believe will
help coffee along with other
commodities.
The actual coffee market was
comparatively quiet, with consum-
ers buying in a routine manner.
Net changes for the week on the
