ROTARY CLUB
ADDRESSED BY
v. R. HEPNER

ObjectiveS in American education
were outlined at the FL Centre Ro-
tary club today in an inspiring ad-
dress by Walter r. Hepner, chief
of the division of secondary edu-
cation of the state department o.
education. who declared that
schools are more concerned with
the means for developing character
in youth than with the correct So
luton of assigned lessons.
He explained the tremendous in
crease in problems which confront
the youth of today in social and
economic matters, compared with
those faced by older generations.
when life was not so complex, and
asserted that the youth who comes
through the temptations of today
triumphant, is a better man or
woman than those OF earlier gen.
erations because their trials have
been more numerous and more Sc
we're.
Development of character was
stressed as essential TOR the con-
tinuation of American ideals and
institutions, for only by the devel-
opment of an intelligent and stead
fast citizenry can the problems
confronting the nation be met and
their solution attempted.
Preceding Hepner's talk M. O.
King gave an explanation of as
Sembly bill No. 81, which provides
for the regulation of hours of serv-
ice in public and private employ
ment during the emergency de-
clared to exist. He quoted numer-
Gus industrial bodies which oppose
this attempt by the state to regu-
late industry and declared business
of all kinds will be seriously handi-
capped if it is adopted.
Selections by trio from Central
Junior college, consisting OF Melba
Deets, Velma Sleeper and Geor-
gianna Sones, accompanied by Miss
Lucille Krause of the faculty, gave
three delightful numbers.
Charles E. Sones was chairman
of the day.

Mrs. Sorensen IS face flushed as
Lindsay read excerpts from the let

"Mr. and Mrs. Lamson have been

confidant of both sides, > she wrote
in one letter little more than a
month before Mrs. Lamson's mys-
