Of orators from their fatherland,

To them the election is an unof-

that they want to go back to the
fatherland from which the Versail-

It is the first drive in q movement
whose nature was revealed by the
election placards in the streets:
"The Saar is free; now it IS Dan
zig's turn. -
Official German interest in the
election for 72 members of the diet

HEPNER GIVES
FINE ADDRESS
To TEACHERS

That secondary education must
be reorganized to fit the new pro-
gressive type Of education was the
main thesis in the splendid talk
given last night for the teachers
institute by Walter r. Hepner,
chief of the division of secondary
education, state department of ed
ucation. The institute was held in
the Calexico high school auditor
ium and was attended by a large
number of county teachers.
In achieving this new type OF
secondary education, three main
points must be considered, Hepner
declared. First educators must take
into consideration the main grow
ing and learning experiences which
boys and girls need to fit into the
new world of today. Secondly, edu-
Gators must consider the methods
of selecting the right activities to
bring about these desired expert
ences and thirdly, they must de-
termine devices or measuring sticks
to find out if the experiences have
taken place.
Hepner pointed out that the kin
dergarten and elementary school
operate as unit but that the high
school has failed to adjust itself
with this unit. Integration of sec
ondary school education to the
elementary is essential and the
high school should not be, as it is
largely, a college preparatory
school since many students are nei-
ther fitted to go to college nor do
they have the desire.
Allan B. Clayton of Ell Centre
talked on the desert, showing his
beautiful color photographs to the
enjoyment of the group.

dent, presided, and musical num-
mers were presented by Calexico.
