DRIVERS GIVEN
TAG WARMING

New residents of the District of
Columbia. who had hoped to save
a dollar by using automobile tags
issued to them in the State in
which they formerly made their
homes, are going to find them
selves in a ticklish situation unless
they do an about face, Traffic Di-
rector William A. Van Duzer
warned today.
Police are investigating reports
that thousands of new District
citizens have failed to comply
with the regulations which require
that all motorists establishing
residences here must obtain Dis
trict titles, tags and operators
permits within 70 hours Of their
arrival, unless they can prove
their legal home to be elsewhere.
Failure to follow instructions
will subject the car owner to ar
rest and will also make it lmpos-
sible for him to obtain his title,
tags and permit in time to use
his car after January i, unless he
gets 1884 tags for the remainder
of this year.
His 1885 tags, however will
necessitate the payment of a per-
sonal property tax, the same re-
quirement now faced by District
motorists.
Although the new Federal Blu
reaus have brought many new.
comers to Washington, they will
be shown no favoritism, Mr.. Van
Duzer said.

Treasury officials said the bills
made from the plates captured
yesterday were the best ever

disposed of the spurious bills, even
passing them in banks. Equip.

Treasury officials said that the

the New Deal was the important issue
of the recent campaign and says he
now proposes following President
Roosevelt to the end of it."
so far as has been made public he
said, the new features favored by the
President are old-age pensions, unem-
ployment insurance and more security
in home ownership, rural and urban.
! am for those measures whole

1T is my intention to vote for every
measure designed to make agriculture
profitable. This is an effort to equal

OF another, agriculture.

II advocate immediate payment of
the adjusted compensation certificates
of World War veterans out of the

Imposed One Ideal

"You could see Italy has surged
forward, centralized everything in
that one ideal and imposed that
ideal on a group of millions OF
youths. - In some schools there
were chances for children to learn
how to do things which they
would have to do when they got
out into life, and how to make a
living"
However, there was machine
control of education apparent, and
l wondered how long the indivi-
duals would stand by this system or
whether the government will
later liberalize the system, DR.
Englehardt said.
In France the noted educator
SAIL he found a rigorous restricted
brand of training calculated to in
spire in the youth the ideas which
represented the desires and pur-
poses of the nation. There was not
much initiative or adaptability al
lowed to youth Under this system.
Because of the rigidity of attitude,
DIR Englehardt predicted this sys-
ter Is doomed to broaden out.
~There must be flexibility and flu
Idly allowing adjustment to So
cial and economic change In any
form of education" he said.
Change In Germany
In Germany he found change
to liberality from the formerly
militarist type Of system and this
change is reflected in the schools.
Experienced men teachers are try
ling to adjust themselves there to
the new concept of what cinsti-
tutes relationship between teacher

New Era of Civilization


He told of exploring some of the
10 factories located in Union City
when he was youngster in Nau-
gatuck. Il had no thought then
that l was witnessing a decaying
civilization but 1 was. 1t was the
beginning of the development of
trusts and larger industries.
wonder why education didn't tell
us about economic changes then.
"They told us about the ruins of
Rome and in Greece but not a
word about the decay of our own
civilization" He mentioned the
courtesy and kindness showed him
by Mrs. F. B. futile who taught
him. He told Of seeing a diminu-
tive teacher in Salem school whom
the boys thought would be "easy
pickings." He referred to Miss An
ma Hopkins. who recently retired
from teaching here.
I'm a short time" he states,
"she built a desire into the group
of pupils that hadn't existed be-
fore, a view Of what lay beyond the
school and in the world. There was
a group of us, Seth Baldwin, Seth
Bingham, Harry Cross, Roland
Clark and myself, a bunch of I'M
trained boys not knowing where
to go.
He told how Miss Hopkins did
extra duty for which she was not
required to do to prepare these
boys for college and "she couldn't
get rid of us because she taught
SO well. 1t is because of that sort
of guidance that many a young
ster has gone farther in life and
perhaps made slight impress on
the world"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-04-27
Used Differently

Public education is used as a
device by society, he said. Vari-
GUS nations use public education
in different ways. Some try to
make fluid or liquid youth conform
with purposes the nation has in
mind, to conform to certain fixed
molds that have already been set
by men. The question is how far
shall individuals conform.
He told interestingly of trip
through schools in Florence, Italy
There were ushers at the schools,
admission was by card, on en-
trance of visitors into every class
room the pupils stood at atten-
ton and saluted, and received
salutes from the visitors in re-
turn. 1t was apparent the youth
of the land was being utilized by
the Fascist government for a gov
ernmental purpose.
He described Mussolini as a man
"who probably has never been
equalled in personal magnetism in
centuries" Els influence is seen
in the schools. All through the
schools there was emphasized a
new kind of governmental control,
DR. Englehardt said. l.
There is a new schoolhouse in
nearly every community, he de-
clared. and they are well equipped,
Many of the Italian schools
have better facilities than those
we have in this country, he as
serted. In one school in which
there were boys of 10 to IL years
of age, there was an aviation train
ing school with a hangar for
planes.

Washington Liberal

"There is no desire at Washing
ton to mold US to fixed form, he
added. There is desire to give US
the right to grow, to use our own
initiative. We are certainly NOV
ing forward"
In conclusion he said II hope
you will feel that in this theme of
development and advance of public
education there is a challenge no
adult should deny. challenge not
quo, to make possible that sort of
progress in which all the comnun-
ity can be entitled to participate"
DR.. Englehardt was introduced
in a brief but effective talk by Ed
ward Kehoe, president of the
Teachers league which sponsored
the affair. Austin Philips sounded
the call to the colors on his bugle
and Peter Jepson and James Fer
| rem carried the flags to the stage.

lace Terrill supplied an excellent

in their instruction.
Opportunity Neglected

Here they were at the cross
roads of the world. Ships of all
nations passed near them. Yet they
were being taught as though they
were inthe middle of Indiana, DR..
Englehardt Explained. The teach
ers didn't realize their chance to
give the pupils a broader view of
the relations to other parts of the
world.
Education is a cohesive force
uniting the two factors in indus
trial life, production and consump-
ton, the Columbia prof continued.
1t creates desire which causes peo-
pie to consume and thus furnishes
the market for those who produce.
Education has created market after
market and hasn't been given
credit for it, he declared.
AS long as we have a concept of
education in schools in America as
existed in schools in the Canal
