YOUTHS BUILD
RACERS FROM
AU70PA
Clarendon Boys Hope
to Win Honors on
HaIf-miIe Track


CLARENDON, Va, Sept. II,
Barry Blake, II, and Gordon
Malcolm, 10, both of Lyon Park
Va, students at Washington
Lee High School always have
been interested In speed. First
they experimental with model air
planes, testing them for speed.
Then it was real airplanes with
speed pilots.
And now the boys are following
in the path Of Pete DePaola and
Ralph DePalma, famous auto
racers.
It was in June that Malcolm
and Blake decided that they
could build dirt-track racers with
little expense and plenty of work
They consulted race drivers as to
best engine designs. Finally, the
little bullet shaped bodies with
two small wheels in front and two
larger ones behind were ready for
a try.
Entered In Race
After some deliberation, the old
half mile track at the abandoned
Fairfax county fair grounds was
decided on as the ideal warm-up
oval, and the boys toWed their
racers to the track. The first few
days resulted in many trivial trou'
bles, all of which were finally
ironed out.
Last week, in Lancaster, Pa,
Malcolm was entered in a race,
the third on the program, but an
accident in the first race forced a
cancellation of the remainder OF
the events.
Malcolm had put his car on
the track with Don Stuart at the
wheel, and his time was 81 sec
onds, a little faster than average
time on half-rnile dirt tracks.
Built From Parts
The motors have been built
from parts of all makes of cars.
The only brake is on the right
rear wheel, to aid in rounding
curves. The only foot pedals are
the accelerator and clutch. There
is only one gear. An air pump
forces fuel to burn quickly, pro-
ducing added power.
Blake expects to race tonight
on a track at Lands, Pa. He
will be one of the youngest drivers
in the game.
The boys have promised never
to enter the same race, thereby
never meeting each other in COM
petition.
Because the little cars are not
raced on anything but half-mlle
tracks, it is impossible to ascer-
tain accurately their top speed.
It is estimated. however, that Nal
coins car will run at lis miles
an hour, with Blake's car tritle

Closed Banks to Paw

Thrifty children in Washington

schools, who lost approximately
$4,000 when the banks in which
they had their deposits failed,
ultimately will receive about 80
per cent of their savings, it ap-
peared today from a survey of the
closed banks here.
washington closed banks are
now holding about $14,000,000 of
depositors' funds and with the in
creasing value in real estate hold
ings, stocks and bonds, will be able
to pay off approximately 80 per
cent of the original deposits, &C.
cording to the best estimates Of
Treasury Department officials.
Closed banks here already have
paid off an average of SIS per cent.
Washington school children for
some years had been saving pen
MES, nickels and dimes through
"'little banks" set up in the school
rooms by several local banks.
Since the banking collapse of 1893
the little banks" have been re-
moved.
Officials Of the Board Of Educar
ton suggested to members of the
banking fraternity that they
make good the losses sustained by
the school children. School Of
ficials pointed out that while
there is no legal basis for making
the school children preferred
cerditors, their losses have left a
"bad taste" and hurt the cause
of thrift.

ASKS INCREASE
IN BUDGET
0FH0SP|TAL
Staff Is OverWorked,
Facilities Lacking,
He Reports

Gallinger Hospital, the Capitals
only municipality operated general
hospital, was described as over
crowded, understaffed, and lack
ing adequate appropriation for eff.
ficient operation in the annual re-
port of DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, super
intendent, for the fiscal year
which ended last June 80, sub
mitted today to the Commits
sioners.
Addition of another ward build
ing to the institution, increase in
the staff, establishment of re-
search laboratory and other SER
vices, and an increase in appro-
priations were recommended by
DR.. Bocock.
Long Hours Cited
Declaring the national general
practice is to work graduate nurses
eight hours a day, DR.. Bocock
said the graduate nurses at the
local hospital worked IL hours a
day, while student nurses worked
much longer hours.
He also pointed out that hospi-
tails generally are stated on the
basis of one salaried employe for
each patient under treatment. He
said the percentage at Gallinger
Hospital is two patients per en-
ploye.
Dr.. Bocock urged establishment
OF social service department so
that discharged patients might
be given instructions in hygiene
at their homes and an out-patient
department. for return of patients
who may need further hospitaliza-
ton or may be treated as am.
bulatory cases.
Funds Are Low
At the beginning of the fiscal
year, DR.. Bocock reported the ap-
preparation allotted the hospital
was barely sufficient for eco
nomic operation. During the year,
he stated, patients increased IL
per cent, to 100 per day, while
necessary commodities rose in
price from 20 to so per cent.
AS a result of the low appro-
priation, DR.. Bocock said the in.
stitution was prevented during
the year from purchasing any
equipment. He concluded by stat
ing the hospital cannot give ade-
quate service with the present
staff.

Untried Educational
 Plan Will Be Tested
Mattatuck College to Experiment With Revolutionary
 Idea Advocated Throughout Country

A new and revolutionary educa- tional plan, advocated by progress sive educators throughout the coun- try but comparatively untried, will be established at Mattatuck Con- munity college it was announced to- day by Director Arthur Purinton, following the receipt from WPA headquarters of complete data. The author of the plan is Dr. Clyde w. Gleason, WPA coordinator of re- search and statistics.
 Significant of the change to be made in the old educational out line in the federal colleges is the following statement by Dr. Gleason: {:
 "The federal colleges have given orthodoxy fair trial and have not succeeded too well with it. They are supported by federal funds and enjoy an unusual independence from restrictive local influences hence, in conformity with the gen. eral run of federal policies, they can be experimental. The next logical step in experimentation is to try a new formula"
 Begins in Stamford
 The plan will,be put into effect in federal community colleges, located in Stamford, New London, Winsted and Hartford. New Haven ano Meriden may later be included.
 The analysis explains in detail the reasons for adopting the new plan It reads, in part, as follows:
 "The times demand an aggressive attack upon the particular prob- lems of the youth who have suffered most from the depression, namely the brighter members of the econ- omically underprivileged strata of our society. We have studied and analysed the federal college youth and find them to be definitely rep resentative of the class. We have a mandate, therefore, to adapt ouI methods and instructional contents to their special needs, which are not the same as those of the mass of youth in the old-line colleges"
 Careful analysis by superior educators the country over, indi- cates that this particular group of students is unusually apathetic to- wards educational values, lacks steadiness and persistence. Some of the intend to be superficially sophis- ticated, somewhat cynical, willing to live aimlessly, and to take without giving.
 Pathological Complex
 "They are confused and are irl- clined to avoid thought about such
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-17

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- tins. To do this our collegiate sys- tenn must be revamped."
 Several innovations which would have been regarded as startling by educators as little as @ decade ago are features of the plan. The only major institution to adopt it in its entirety has been the University of Chicago.
 Students with special ability will be permitted to proceed with their studies in advance of slower mem- bers of he class. Several extra-cur- ricular activities will be included in the regular credit-bearing subjects. Among these will be dramatic club, debating club work and athletics.
 Unlike the system prevailing in colleges under which students are required-t to adapt themselves to es- tablished courses of study, the fed eral colleges will adapt themselves to the needs of the student by of- fering courses which the individual student wishes to follow.
