EDUCATION CHANGE
CALLED VITAL NEED
Representative Fletcher Tell
Teachers and Students Demands
of Modern Life.

Educational methods which fail to fit
the student to meet the changes Of a
civilization which is overturning all the
old standards are costing not only the
student, but all of society, tremendous
losses. Representative Brooks Fletcher
of Ohio told teachers and students OF
the Wilson Teachers College yesterday.
The greatest problem facing mankind
today, the Ohioan said, is to meet the
demands of a changing environment.
Through the sciences man has pro-
duced more changes In his methods OF
living within the past Is or 80 years
than in any previous $500 or 5000
years in history and every branch of
human endeavor Is facing the challenge
of unprecedented conditions, he said.
Educators have been caught In the
turmoil of the changing world, as has
business, and educational methods are
as out-of date as the business methods
which have dragged so many businesses
to ruin within the past few years,
Fletcher declared.
The school examination was de-
nounced by Fletcher as unscientific and
a waste Of valuable time. Terror OF
examinations makes students neurotic
and is the cause of some of the suicides
of school children, he asserted.
Children must be taught the scientinc
use of their minds and to study IN
terms of meanings and not Of words,
Mr.. Fletcher said. They must be given
confidence and ideals rather than edu-
-cational forms, he declared.

INCONSISTENCY AT
CAPITAL

It is generally agreed that criticism
at this time of Washington's attempt
to administrate governmental affairs
should be withheld, but constructive
criticism is always in oder, especially
when some brain storm of the admin
istration undertakes to classify every
one who fails to bow to its dictates
as "slackers" and "ten percenters"
whom the public should boycott.
Within the past few days industry
throughout the nation has been in an
uproar over the new national admin
istration's attempt to regiment labor
and industry. What many had thought
would be a diplomatic attempt by the
administrators to help industry estab-
lish cooperative system of operation
which would bring about economic re-

ENCOURAGING SIGNS

Those who believe that we have
passed the bottom of the valley of de-
preston and are now on the way up
again, draw a great deal of consola-
ton from the fact that the apparent
recovery from the depression is world
wide, and is not therefore confined to
our own country. While the stock
market has gone up faster in the
United States than in England and
France due in part to the fact that it
went down farther in the beginning,
employment and building construc-
ton have improved more substantially
in Great Britain than in the United
States. France, of course, was never
so hard hit by the depression as we
were.
In view of these comparisons it is
interesting to note, too, what is going
on in Italy, where the improvement
is quite pronounced. The Italians are
facing the coming winter with much
more confidence than they faced the
last one year ago. Unemployment
has been decreased by eleven and
half per cent during the year, up to
August 1, which is surely an encour-
aging performance. Public construc-
tion is being pushed and Mussolini's
wheat program is meeting with sue
cess. In this respect it may be noted
that the wheat program in Italy is
entirely different from that of the
United States. While we are seeking
to decrease our surplus by cutting
down production, Italy has been try
ing to stimulate production to the
point where she will not have to i'm
port any wheat at all. And the cam
paign is about 100 per cent success
full, and the country almost self sus-
tanning, so far as wheat is concerned.
This has increased employment and
is a good thing for Italy but not so
good for the wheat exporting coun-
tries like our own, who are losing
valuable customer.
Railroad travel has increased a
great deal during the year in Italy,
and the number of tourists entering
the country has gained SIS per cent.
Industrial activity has increased in the
basic trades and the Associated Press,
in a dispatch from Rome, concludes:
Hardship was undoubtedly exper-
fenced last winter and hardship will
be again experienced this winter, but
Italians in general believe the crisis
is past and that Mussolini has won
his battle against the specter of idle
ness"
All of which is encouraging news
not only to Italians but to the people
of other lands. For coupled with the
reports we get from other countries
it seems to indicate that the depres-
sion is on the wane.
