 JADED YOUTH

Cleveland (UP)-A generation of "jaded old youngsters" devoid of sense of values, is the harvest America may expect to reap from her public schools unless the phil osophy of education now governing them is quickly and radically al- tered. believes Dr William Ernest Hooking, of Harvard university.
 pr Hooking. professor of phil osophy, spoke before more than 15.000 teachers gathered here for sessions of the Northeastern Ohio Teachers Association.
 The schol of the future must provide. first of all. for the train- ing of the emotional side of the child's mind and for the serious bushes sof building will and char acter," pr Hooking said.
 Teachers would do well to ''scrap two-thirds of the textbooks now in use, since most of them are condensations of fact divorced from both action and feeling" he asserted further.
 Firing children into contact with things of real value. such as you yourself enjoy. If you don't enjoy them, don't think you can recommend their enjoyment to your juniors. Great quality is ap- parent to minds of all ages"

 Those and other problems must be faced at the coming session of congress when much of the em- ergency legislation expires, and in- dustry can and should prepare its constructive recommendations.
 This is the time for industry to formulate a program upon which it can stand unitedly. It must be drafted in a full spirit of help fitness with the government in the mutual desire to eliminate unem- ployment by stimulating private en- terprise.'

nue, namely at Huntingdon, Homer, Manville, Boyden, Chapel. Welch, Sheffield, Driggs, Sprague and Fort Hill street have been equipped with traffic regulatory signs requiring all vehicles to come to a full stop before entering the main thoroughfare. While the ma jority of motorists are cooperating by observing the signs there are some individuals who have been consistently disregarding them and some of the latter have been con- tributing causes to accidents. The police motor patrol has been in- structed to put on a special cam paign in Waterville for the next few weeks with orders to summons to court all who are caught vio- lating the signs.
 Although it is technically illegal for a town to set definite speed limit 1t may set a limit beyond which 9. motorist may be prose- cuted for reckless driving and this is, in effect, what the board has done by it's action yesterday.
