ECONOMY" Drives at Expense
of Education Are Scored
at Session

DR.. william A. White, superin.
tendent Of st. Elizabeths Hos
pital, today told an audience com
posed principally Of "old maid"
school teachers that married
women make the best teachers,
Speaking before the general
session Of the National Educa'
ton Associations seventy-second
annual convention in Memorial
Continental Hall, DR.. White, an
outstanding authority on pscychi
airy. declared that frequently
the minds Of "Spinster" teachers
are distorted" by their limited
experience.
Mothers Are Best
He added:
Women who have had their
own children and who have ex.
pefienced . more or less sue
ccSsful love life are more apt
to be better teachers than
unmarried women.
"It has been shown by sta
tiStics that married women
make better teachers because
they have more rounded per-
SonaIitieS, and It is true that
the personality of a teacher is
more important in the class
room than her technique Of
teaching"
KNOWLEDGE NOT THE GOAL
DR.. White declared one of the
most important features Of edu.
cation at present is not the
teaching of alleged facts which
tomorrow will not be facts at
ALL" but the development of the
individual child so that he may
adjust himself rapidly to swiftly
changing conditions In this con,
nection, he said:
"There is something more
important in teaching today
than the transmission of a.
legged facts from teacher to
student. What we need is the
capacity to adjust ourselves to
rapidly changing conditions, to
learn rapidly new things, to
order our lives today differ.

them yesterday"

Conveyor At Dam
Under Construction
Will Be Largest In World When
Completed; Shovels On
Ground

GRAND COULEE DAM, Nov. S.
Work on the conveyor system,
which when completed will be the
largest in the world, was started
here Saturday.
Three huge bulldozers were at
work leveling off strip of over
burden Is feet wide, running at
right angles with the present dam
site highway.
Original plans call for lateral belts
to run into this main feeder" belt.
The feeder" belt in turn dumps the
overburden into the main dump
belt, wich will run approximately
parallel to the dam material in
Rattlesnake canyon.
Big electric shovels will dump
overburden into hoppers stationed
over the belts. The proposed sys-
tenn is without a near rival in the
construction world.
Two of the big five and six-yard
electric shovels are on the ground
ready for assembling. The big loco
motive crane to be used here to I'M
load heavy equipment was being
taken from the freight cars at
Coulee City yesterday afternoon.
Work of leveling off the 1920
elevation on the east shore for the
machine shops and other buildings
is rapidly showing visible results.
A big shovel is doing most of the
work there.

Nespelem-Agency Road Will Con-

way With Other Routes

Road work being carried on at
the Cache Creek PWA project is
nearly completed, officials in charge
of the work state, and within a
short time the crew workers will be
transferred to the Nespelem- Indian
agency route.
According to the plan outlined for
the work, practically the entire
road will be re-routed. A survey
already has been made and the
project, except for the location of
culverts, is ready for immediate
work.
The route is considered an i'm
portant connecting link between the
agency Coulee dam road, finished
recently, and the various roads
converging at Nespelem. It carries
a heavy traffic load.
When completed the new route
will eliminate all the dangerous
blind" curves which form a con-
slant hazard on the present road.
1t will be surfaced and when finish
ed will correspond to the work on
the Coulee dam highway.
