Discussions About African People Results in Varl.
 ety of COnjectures

Chicago (UP).-Wilfred s. Hamb- ly. assistant curator Of African ethnology at the Field Museum or Natural History, has settled tne confusing question of "Just who are the Philippians" .
 Discussions about the race and color of the African people threat ened with war have brought about a variety of conjectures, some that they are Jewish (because Emperor Halle Salassie is descended from King Solomon). others that they are Negro.
 Both s urmises are partly right, Hambly said. Jeremiah's adage' "Can the Ethiopian change his skin?" he indicated, can be an- swered in the affirmative, since the people vary racially according to geography.
 Skin Color Varies
 The Galla of southern Ethiopia are known as Hamites ana nave light-brown hair and skin, Hampiy said.
 The Somali, Numerically strong in the population, also have Ham itic characteristics, although some scholars claim stronger Semitic element. :.
 The shangalla, inhabitants Of the western hills, are true Negroes with dark skins. Likewise the Doko of the southern forests, . dwarf Negro tribe, are dark.
 But the Beni Amer of the north ern plains are an Arabized Nubian people, while the Falasha of cen trai Ethiopia. where Addis Ababa is located, are Jewish in religion.
 Population Is Mixed
 Possibly" Hambly said, they also are Jewish in race"
 n addition to this complicated classification, Hambly said, there are large numbers of Egyptians, Arabs, Persians and Greeks who have been gathering in Ethiopia for centuries.
 "All factors considered" the ethnologist explained, "the word .habesh,' the Arabic for mixed, the root form of .'Abyssinia, is singu- larly well-chosen."

ized by Dr. Clyde w. Gleason, WPA coordinator of research and statis- tics, and is being followed in all of the federal colleges of the state.
 Allowing the student wide latitude in the selection of courses and in the pursuance of study, the plan has been adopted by few of the country's leading colleges, but has met with opposition by other edu- cators who declare it too radical a departure from the generally &C., cepted college curriculum.
 Students with special ability are permitted to proceed with their studies in advance of slower mem- bers of the class, and several extra curricular activities are included in the regular credit-bearing subjects. Among these are dramatic club, de- batting club work and athletics.
 In direct reversal of the orthodox college plan, the new idea would have the college adopt itself to the needs of the student by offering courses which the individual stu dent wishes to follow. In the an- nouncement received by local col- lege authorities recently Dr. Glea- son stressed the fact that the WPA institutions were faced with difficul- ties peculiar to themselves in main- taining an adequate registration.
 Steadiness Lacking
 Speaking of the type of student recruited for the college he said: Careful analysis by superior edu- cators the country over indicates that this particular group of stu- dents is usually apathetic toward educational values, steadiness and persistence. Some of them tend to be superficially sophisticated, some- what cynical, willing to live ain- lessly and to take without giving.
 "They are confused and are in- clined to avoid thought about such confusing affairs as the great so- cial issues. Many are abnormally fond of idling, even to the point of preferring to watch sports than to participate. This pathological com- plex, with its concomitants, needs to be made the focus of attention in our attempts to educate the vic- tims. To do this our collegiate system must be revamped."
 Registration of those students who wish to transfer to the night extension courses must again regis- ter at Crosby high school for the evening classes, Miss Harmon said College authorities to-day declared the total registration or both day and evening groups was close to 25O.

Reports that the new progressive education plan adopted by Matta- tuck college was not meeting with the reception which had been ex- pected and that registration for the day school was disappointing were denied by college executives to-day.
 Arthur l.. Purinton, educational secretary of the Y. M. c. A. and director of the college, warmly de- tended the new system. Admitting that the day registration had fallen off, MT. Purinton explained that many of the students had trans ferred to the night classes. He said that approximately 90 persons were registered for the day college, but that only 72 were actually attend ing classes.
 Same Faculty Nights
 The night extension courses were substituted Monday for the pro- posed evening college. These cours- es will repeat those subjects taught in the day college for which there is the greatest demand, with classes held four nights ecah week at Crosby from to g o'clock. The faculty of the day school will also teach the night courses, under the general supervision of Miss Edna Harmon.
