CHARACTER STUDY
ExPER|MENTOPENS
Education Research Being
Pushed by Selected SIN
Service" Class.

A new experiment in the teaching
and study Of character education will
get under way this week at George
Washington University as the result
Of a cooperative program arranged
between the university and the public
school system of Washington. where
the character education experiment is
being made as a test for the whole
country.
Eleven study groups have been Or
Hanized and the enrolment has been
limited to invitations to "in-service"
teachers and other educators inter-
ested In the character training classes.
The first classes will be held at Mac
farland Junior High School Tuesday
at 4 pm, but ample time has been al
lowed others to register who have been
invited to the seminars.
The courses were inaugurated last
week when a group of those invited
attended an assembly at the university.
This in-service program may be
the remaking of the system of teacher
training in this country" DR.. Cloyd
Heck Marvin, president, said
The study groups now being formed
under a suspension of all the custom
ary university regulations and pro-
cedure, may prove to be the ideal type
of university class. In this expert
ment, We hope that you will help US
find a new way in education.'
The course has been Endorsed by the
American Council on Education, the
United States Office of Education, the
District Juvenile Court, the Com
munity Center Department and other
educational and vocational agencies.
Among the instructors who from
time to time will participate in the
program are DR.. Frank w. Ballou,
superintendent of the D. c. public
schools; Miss BERTHE Backus, in charge
Of the character education expert
ment; Dr. Charles r. Mann, American
Council of Education; DR.. L. L. Jarvie.
co-ordinator for in-service training;
DR.. Mitchell Dreese, member of the

Investigators said they expected to

as possible. If an indictment is re-

Reaguer, a member of the Chamber

Police were not able to question the
girl at length because of her nervous
condition.
Miss O'Bannon was released late
last night after questioning by de-

Halle Selassie declined fatty yester-

arms and ammunitions cannot be ex-
ported to belligerents. But raw ma
terials are exempt from the embargo
list and many heads were shaking at
Geneva when economic sanctions
were decreed against Italy. The
memory of the difficulties between
l9l4-19l7 is still fresh in the minds
OF many delegates present at that
gathering.
True enough, President Roosevelt
has encouraged the League to go
ahead and adopt sanctions by his
warning to American citizens that
any trade with either Of the bel
ligerents must be done at their own
risk. That warning was meant to
bother Italy, since our trade with
Ethiopia Is negligible.
But the Geneva delegates are all
lawyers. who were wondering of what
laws the President could avail him
self to transform his warning into an
effectual prohibition for Americans to
trade with Italy. For, say these legal
lights, unless there is a definite law
to prevent commercial intercourse be-
tween the citizens of this country and
Italy. there may be quite few Ameri-
can business men who will ignore the
Presidents warning and go ahead and
trade with Italy in the hope of making
some substantial profits. Trading
with Italy may not bring back pros
perity to the United States, but can
improve the financial situation Of q
few particular firms.

that it could be put into effect immedi-

that the cutting off Of products should
come only after a deprivation of war

Rumania and Greece also cautioned

This Changing World
Leagues Adoption of Roosevelt Embargo List Not
Viewed as Compliment.
BY CONSTANTINE BROW,

" HE League OF Nations tried to
pay compliment to Presi-
dent Roosevelt when 1t an
i nounced that 1t has adopted
without change the embargo list
proclaimed by Mr. Roosevelt a week
ago.
Whether the President relishes this
compliment Is another question. There
is no doubt that the administration
is in full sympathy with the actions
of the League to punish Italy for
her aggression. 1t is evident from
the actions of the State Department
and the declarations of the President
that everything is being done to sup
port the League as long as it acts
as an agent for peace. But neither
the President nor his associates want
to be directly identified with the
League.
Hence 1t is felt in many quarters
in Washington that the compliment
paid to Mr.. Roosevelt's wisdom would
have been more welcome If the
League had not tagged its embargo
order as being the same as the one
proclaimed by the President Of the
United States. The people in this
country are overwhelmingly anti
League.
II X
Behind this move is seen the hand
Of Great Britain. The British gov
ernment is fully aware that the ma
tions gathered at Geneva are worried
lest this country might insist on the
rights of its citizens to trade with any
country as long as the United States
remains neutral. 1t is true that
Congress has decided that in order

ments. While there still Is q good
deal o. doubt about Great Britain
using her feet to enforce an effective
blockade against Italy, it is felt that
! the lifting of the embargo on arms
to Ethiopia might conceiyably be the
spark which will set the world ablaze.
According to the rules of interna-
tional law, Italy Is entitled to prevent
shipment Of arms and ammunition to
her enemy. What will happen if Ital-
ian warships were to seize a British
ship on her way to Alexandria, Dill
bouti or Alden with arms for Emperor
Selassie? The British are not in q
mood to allow Mussolini to interfere
with the decisions Of the League.
All those who want to see the Italo-
Ethiopian conflict localized pray that
II Duce will show enough wisdom not
to worry about the shipment of arms
to SelaSise, because otherwise no
power in the world can spare Europe
from another general conflagration.

thorns that his faithful supporter,
Gen. Kondilys, is offering him now.
A few months ago George would
have accepted the throne with eager
ness. But now, it's different ques-
ton. AS the war clouds are getting
denser in the Mediterranean, the sit
uation of Greece Is becoming more
dangerous If there is a war Greece's
geographical position will not allow
her to remain neutral. Having to
choose between Great Britain and
Italy, she will without doubt cast her
lot with the former.
There has never been much love lost
between the Greeks and the Italians
After the last World War Venizelos
rushed into Smyrna with a Greek
army just in time to beat the Italians
to it. Had he delayed only one week
he would have found an Italian divi-
sion in occupation Of Asia Minor. 1t
may have been better for Greece, but
Venizelos did not know it at that
time.
Later, the Italians picked up a
quarrel with the Greeks and lombard
ed Corfu. The Greeks have never
forgotten that.
