PIT. A. CONGRESS
President Sends BeStWiSheS

BY the Associated Press.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, May 1.-THE
Thirty-eighth National Congress OF
Parents and Teachers opened today
with personal greetings and best
wishes" of President Franklin D..
Roosevelt.
In a telegram sent to Mrs. Hugh
Bradford, national president, last
night, President Roosevelt said:
II have just learned that during the
week of May IS the National Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers will
hold its annual convention and I am
happy to have this opportunity to ex-
tend personal greetings and best
2 wishes.
Meetings of such organizations as
yours are beneficial to the country
as a whole Group conferences and
meetings between parents and teach
ers, providing a means for the dis
cussion of problems of home and
school, contribute to the betterment
of our national economic and social
development.
IT heartily congratulate the men,
berS of your organization. Yours is a
useful work. You render real Serv-
ice to your country.
Il have many reasons for hoping
that this will be the most successful
Congress ever held in the history OF
your organization.
Every sincerely yours,
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT"
A plea for education for life rather
than education for itself was made
today before the Congress by Mrs.
of Interior.
Speaking before the second gen.
eral session of the six-day convention,
Mrs. Ickes asserted that education
and life seem to have parted COM
pany and gone off in different direc-
tions. She declared that the whole
school picture has changed Her
speech was broadcast over national
network.
I'VE cannot" she said, TASK our
youth to return to blind acceptance
OF past standards, but We can demand
new standards.
Surely we have not made such an
unqualified success of things that we
can afford to deny to our youth an
opportunity to discuss and perhaps to
readjust our social set-up.
The relative value of Latin and
Greek, this method or that, must give
way to character and development.
Not give way entirely, but take Sec
ond place.
Perhaps the real aim of education
should be to enable the pupil to edu-
cate himself all through his life"
Mrs. Bradford urged a more inten-
sive study of the modern problems of
society which directly affect the adult
world in its relation to childhood.
Mrs Bradford said in her annual
report that American parents have
shown an indomitable will to pre-
serve family life and the security of
American homes during the de-
preston"
She declared that the work of par
ent-teacher associations have con-
tributed largely" to this preservation
through emphasis on parent educa-
ton and home-making projects.

Norris, former Special Assistant to
the Attorney General in Washington,
and Solomon Charles Sugerman, dis
barred attorney, were acquitted by a
Federal jury last night after a four

ing which it was alleged that between
$4,000 and 100000 was obtained
from women through a chain-sales
scheme. The women. expecting to
receive six pairs of silk hose for a
dollar, were advised after renting,
that they should distribute other cards
to three other women who, in turn,
would have to remit a dollar each be-
fore the hosiery was mailed.

tacted Norris to obtain advance in
formation of any possible fraud order
against the chain sales promoters.

to Memphis and st. Louis. Surveys
are being completed, fields have been
selected on the Memphis-St. Louis
section and beacon sites are being
selected.

The Fargo-Pembina airway will
serve as a connecting link between
Winnipeg, Canada and Fargo, on the
the Northern transcontinental airway.
The survey is almost complete.
The new Seattle Minneapolis air.
