BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, June 27.-Metal, sugar
and packing company issues pushed
UPWARD in today's stock market ses-
sion, with several new highs for the
year being recorded. Irregularities
developed in some of the other groups,
however. coincident with moderate
profit taking. The close was fairly
steady. Transfers approximated $50
900 shares.
There was a brisk forward swing
in the first hour, as traders en-
visaged a resumption of yesterdays
rally. But news of an especially
stimulating nature was lacking and
trading dwindled rapidly under inter-
mlttent realizing. In many instances
early gains of / to or more points
were pared or replaced by losses.
Grains dipped and recovered ner-
vously, finishing with only slight vari-
| ations. Cotton held back most of the
day and rubber did virtually nothing.
Silver futures moved forward, with the
bar metal advancing % of a ceS-s an
ounce to 453s cents. Bonds we're quiet
and trifle mixed. Gold currencies
eaSed in terms of the dollar.
Shares of the Blue Chip Homestake
Mining jumped some 10 points 70 an
other record high of 41O. Advances
| OF fractions TO point or more TO new
1884 peaks were recorded by Magma
Copper, Cuban American Sugar and
American Sugar Refining. U. 6.
Smelling Howe Sound. Dome and
Kennecott were higher Preferred
stocks of Wilson e. Co. and Armour Of
Illinois were active at gains of l to 2
or more points.
Santa Fe preferred made a new
years top with an advance of more
than 2 points. but the roads common
was inclined to yield. Most of the
! rails and motors were difident and the
tobaccos, such as American Tobacco B
and Reynolds B. lost around a point
each. Allied Chemical was off about .

Porcuplne dropped more than a point

Talk by Guest
Is Feature Of
Study Group

Mr.. James knight. PHD, Of the
Extension Department Of the Uni
versity OF Texas was guest speak
er at the last meeting Of the Learn
ers' club addressing the members
on The Effects Of the Depression
on Education"
He called attention TO the tact
that ANY attempt to measure the
effects Of contemporary events Is
likely to be colored by personal bias.
One thing should be kept In mind,
unmixed blessings ana unmixed
catastrophes are very rare and both
sides Of any situation must be con-
sidered."
Two thousand rural schools fall
ed to open in 1888 with 100000 chill
dren involved he said. Many schools
were closed IN 1884 and many more
have terms Of from three 10 six
months only, from lack o. funds.
More than At 5000 teachers received
less than $500 a year. Sor the coun-
ty as a whole there were a milliol
more children in the schools end
386 million dollars less 10 care fol
them. Under these conditions indi-
vidual attention is impossible
school work becomes less well fitted
to individual needs, the progress Of
the child is slowed down and the
teacher has no time for stuiy and
self Improvement or necessary
healtful recreation.
There are probably three million
children between the ages Of Is ard
20 out Of school and out OF work
and probably more than this under
10. Since the depression started, we
have many times been impressed ty
the large number Of persons who are
tramping and hitch hiking. Mr..
Knight called these The Forgotten
Generation" A large per cent OF
these are potentially useful citizens
who should be in school. When we
need schools and teachers and new
courses the worst We do not have
them.
The depression has called atten-
