SCHOOL TRIES
 LAISSEz FARE

Chicago, Nov. 30-CUP)-No more three "R's" taught to the tune of a hickory stick!
 Perhaps in the little red school house" or other halls of learning, but not at the w. H. Ray Experi- mental school. Efforts only and not results count here.
 Principal Raymond Bixler of the Ray school and innovator of this "laissez faire" student system is of the opinion that schools should en- deavor to bring out the ability of the pupil through his interest and not "by forcing him to. follow tra- ditional paterns".
 In lieu of monotonous lessons by rotc and threat, the student follows his own inclination and initiative, according to Bixler's plan.
 If some youngster hits upon 8 subject which catches the attention of the whole class, all lessons, read- ing, spelling, art work and science are woven around that subject.
 Strike while the interest is high" is the motto at the Ray school.
 Nor does the pupil at this schol have to slip into the house with his report card behind his back. There are no grades upon it. 1n- stead, after each subject listed are comments similar to needs help, diligence lacking" or work un- satisfactory. e

PROF. ANGELL
 HITS ATHLETICS "Hired Man. Policies for College Sports AssaiIed
 By Head of Yale

New Haven, Conn, November 30
 = (UP) - President James Row. land Angel, Yale University, today reemphasized his oft repeated attack on the hired man" policy in college athletics and proposed three rerne- dies to lift scholastic sports above the levels of commercialism. DSclaY- ing that the present system, supp ported entirely by football receipts, was endangered by the develop ment of professional football and the procurement of athletes through scholarships, he reiterated that Yale, Princeton and Harvard never would yield to hired athletes and offered the following plans: Establish en- downents to make athletics inde" pendent of gate receipts; permit stu- dents to control athletics unaided by the university; abandon the pres- ent spectacular system and return to the informal games of years ago.
 The endowment plan, he said, might be impossible for many small institutions and the return of in- formal contests neceSsitate rever- sal of opinion among the alumni. Pointing out that football rules are ever er-changing, he said the game has never been long in stable equi- librium and despite the momentary public interest in the sport, no one can predict just what may happen to it." What is true of the game as a game is also true of its history as financial enterprise" he said" in an article appearing in today's Yale-Princeton program. Tt is no secret that college football has be- come extensively commercialized."

REV. E. A. BAXTER . AWAITS TRANSFER
New Haven Clergyman Ex. poets Orders From Prove
 incial Headquarters

Rev. Edmund A. Baxter, O. F., of St. Mary's church, eulogist at the first mass of Rev. Paul Dillon here . few months ago at St. Francis's church, will be transferred to a new post. Orders to this effect were expected from the New York office of the provencial of the order next week. Father Baxter was twice re- elected prior of the Dominican house in New Haven and regula- tions which provide that no mem- her of the order may serve more than three years as prior of the same house were set aside through special dispensation each time, due to the successful manner in which his work in the Elm City has been done.
 Father Baxter is 8 native of East St. Louis and has been in the order tor 30 years, retaining ali of the compelling vigor which has moved him throughout his lifetime. His u1tiring efforts in New Haven have brought many benefits to St. Mary's parish.
 He has accomplished so many things that it would be difficult to enwmerate them," Father Logan, vicAr of the priory, said this morn- ing.
 Outstanding among Father Bax- ter's achievements here was the opening of the Connecticut Re- treat house for Catholic laymen at Charles Island. The island, half a mile off the Milford shore, came into the possession Of the Connec- ticut Laymen's Retreat association in 1928 through the far-sightedness of Father Baxter.
 Father Baxter served overseas with the 27th division. For hero- ism on the field of battle, he was decorated by the French govern ment with the Croix de Guerre. In addition to his priestly activities, Father Baxter has been active as member of the American Legion. his afiiliation being with the New Haven post.

SASSAFRAS SALE
 IN NEW ENGLAND

Amherst, Mass, Nov. 30-(UP)- Sassafras has 8 definite connection with New England's early history, according to Prof. William L. Doran at Massachusetts States college.
 It was probably the first plant product to be exported from New England. The sassafras was believed to have medicinal value and to be "a plant of sovereign virture."
 The tree was discovered by Bar tholomew Cos .old, an English sailor, in 1902 on Cuttyhunk Is- land, the westernmost of the Eliz- abeth Islands. The tree sold for three shillings a pound in England, so he shipped several back.
 '"The native sassafras is highly ornamental tree," Doran said. Tt is not commonly planted, however, and it is injured by severe winters north and west of Amherst, but is hardy at points nearer the sea-"

FLIGHT PLANNED
 IN WINGED SUIT
Banff, Alta, Nov. 30-(UP)

Banff, Alta. Nov. 30-(UP) One day soon John Kropocz, 65- year-old inventor, hopes to don his flying suit, and soar into the sky without benefit of 8 motor.
 Kropocz says he has invented a flying suit" which makes human flight possible. The device consists of an aluminium suit with metal wings and series of springs, oper- ated on the principle of the gramo- phone.
 Explaining how his invention works, Kropocz said the suit is at- tached to the shoulders and around the waist. The wings are attached to a tube containing the power springs. The pilot" propels him. self by pedalling on a special de- vice.
 Kropocz says the suit is crash proof" If the springs fail, the pilot" is kept afloat by safety coat inflated with hydrogen bal looms fastened to the lining of the suit.
 The only problem Kropocz has not been able to solve is the take. of. At its present stage. a ground level start is impossible. The pilot" would have to jump from tower or roof of building to take-off.
 Otherwise, he says, his invention is perfectly practicable, and de- clares that 8 model released from the roof of hotel here flew two miles.
 Kropocz said he is building a full-size model and plans to try it himself.

DOOM OF RACE
 IN UNFIT SEEN

New Orleans, Nov. 30.-(UP). Present civilization cultivates the unfit and if 1t persists. 1t wil perish, declares Trans Blom, director of the Tulane University department of middle American research.
 Blom calls upon archaeology and history of 10000 years to predicate his assertion.
 Today" he said, I've set a ri- diculously high value on individ- ual life, but we also pick our best young men to be killed in war while the weak propagate. If should classify our time, I would call it the period of the unfit. We let our healthy and strong starve and treat the physically unfit and those of diseased minds to luxury in sanitariums and penitentiaries. If we persist long enough, our fu- ture generations will be comfort ably unit and our tribe will per- ish."
 Because man has failed to eval- uate experience in regulating his society, weaknesses grow with the march of civilization, Blom said.
 "Why should we not take ad- vantage of our accumulated fund of human experience?" asked the art,:eologist. Ten thousand years and more of human experience lie back of us. Should we not teeach that archaeology and history are the same thing? History and arch- eology should present facts upon which we can build graphs of past human experience, to prepare our- selves for the future.

Trading Very Fairly
 ActiDe During Week
Total for Month Reached Highest Level Since l933; Market Was Given One Severe Setback This Week

American selling of those issues-ex- cept the airpianes-was more than sufncient to bring the issues down along with the general market.
 Early in the week the market was still under the influence of the Ec- cles statement that the market was not inflated and that the federal reserve would do nothing to restrain credit.
 At times the railroad shares were well bought and on Wednesday the Dow-Jones average of 20 represen- tative issues in the group made 8 new high for the year. The gain was lost in the next session on Friday. Railroad income in October on the basis of returns made thus far will be the best since October, le30.
 Copper shares did better than most groups with Anaconda hitting a new high for the year. The latter was helped by an increased dividend by Its 90 per cent owned subsidiary, Greene Cananea, as well as by out- look for higher copper prices in world markets.
 The utility situation was coming to g head this week. A long. list of companies sued to enjoin the securi- ties and exchange commission from forcing them to register under the public utility holding company act and the SEC in turn brought suit against Electric Bond G Share to test the new law. Utility stocks did fairly well and the average came near its 1885 high made November 19. Prices slipped back with the general market.
 Electricity output continued to make new peaks, leading to the con- clusion that the 1895 total will set an all time record.
 On Friday the financial commu- nifty took encouragement from a speech by President Roosevelt that the peak of administration expendi- lures had been reached. It failed to help the market to any great extent.
 Steel operations set a new high since June 18, 1884, because of the late change to new models by the automobile companies. Retail trade improved with Christmas buying already in progress. A long list of favorable dividend actions was pub- lished.

 Business news continued highly favorable, but in view of the top heavy character of the list traders preferred to tighten commitments pending definite indication of which or not the business gains had been overdiscounted.
 The foreign situation was fac- tor of uncertainty. Gold continued to leave France in large amounts. Europeans were .reportedly buying American stocks which would profit through general European war but

SCOUTS WIDEN AID TO YOUTHS
Bands of ROamerS Will Be Only Memories in Very
 Near Future

Pittsburgh, Nov. 90 -- (UP) = Bands of youths roaming the coun- try and unorganized wanderers will be only memories of the depression when proper educational and vo- cational enterprises are initiated for their relief, according to Thomas J. Keane, of New York, director of senior scouting, Boy Scouts of America.
 "The CCC camps which the president started in motion were the first great step forward in re- habilitating the young men of America" he said. At IS a boy becomes a man, and at that stage in life he wants something active to do. New interests are crowding his life and some sort of educa- tional diversion must be present. ed"
 In line with his views, Keane pointed to the extensive Senior Scout program which the National Boy Scout organization is starting in Pittsburgh, which is designed to eliminate juvenile wanderers and to keep them close to home. The nationwide program is outlined for youths from IS to %.
 Keanc asserted that boys of this age are filled with a desire for ad- venture and the purpose of the new program is to sublimate these natural impulses.
 Groups organized for the study of engineering, aviation and me- chanics, will be included in the SeYior Scout movement, which will affect approximately one- third of the entire Boy Scout membership. Once the movement gets under way, the term Boy Scout will be dropped for those over IS and the title of Senior Scout substituted.

NOOIlLllUSu 4IOIkl EdSC 4sl though another correspondent ar- rived after me.
 Howard Winner, a news photog- rapher, and I chased the emperor's s caravan when it left Addis Ababa on 20 minutes notice Thursday, never expecting we would be per- mitted to get beyond the city gates. Newspaper correspondents had been permitted to watch the departure but had pledged their honor not to transmit news of 1t until the next day.
 Officers Half Dazed
 Officers were still half dazed after the passage of the emperor's cara van, all know that he must be go- ing of to war, when they gravely saluted our tumbledown taxicab, hastily stocked with couple of ex- tra tins of gasoline and few sand- wiches.
 The road stretched dustily ahead. It was bad, but 1t was only hint of what faces the emperor beyond Debre- -Birhan where the real nat ural obstacles which isolate the cap ital from the outside world begin.
 We got stuck in one river but heaved out our cab with the help of local tribesmen and joined the tail end of the speeding caravan, its cars strung out far apart to minimized air raid dangers.
 We never caught the emperor dur ing the trip but groups of Gala tribesmen eXcitedly rushed out from villages, perched in feudal manner on fortified hilltops, and cheered each succeeding automobile in proof that the imperial sedan was not far ahead.
 Crude Palace at Front
 Our taxi developed a succession of fiat tires, and we transferred to a munitions truck on its way to the front. We bumped on for dusty miles and arrived here at 5:30 p. m. In the middle of small compound we found the emperor's entourage. The emperor was occupying a two story native matched tukul, constituting the towns palace.
 Great War Council.
 Dessye, Ethiopia (via Courier to AddiS Ababa, Nov. 30-- (UP) "A great war council, possibly signalling a shift to offensive tactics by the Ethiopian army, twill be held" somewhere in the north "as soon as Emperor Halle Selassie reaches the prospective battlefront near Dessye headquarters.
 AS runners brought word of the Emperor's progress northward from Addis Ababa, preparations for the War Council here rushed. Major and minor chieftains hastened along the northern road. recently improv- ed to make it possible for automo- piles to travel some 90 miles north ward of Dessye.
 The town itself eagerly awaited the Emperor's arrival. A huge trans parent sign bearing the legend, ''Haile Selassiel Long may he reign" spanned the main street which like others here-a striking innovation in any Ethiopian town have been faced with crushed rock.
 Large bodies of the rulers body guard and of his personal servants already were encamped near the town. Even Addis Ababa policemen have been transported to Dessye to handle the crowds.

 There may be a need for spend- ing some of the money for direct re- lief In December. But we are re. quiring the states to pay every out- standing relief obligation out of the final allotments. Then, there won't be any more.
 The money, in short, is to get the a states through and out of this business of direct relief until ths employment program is fully underway.
 Brief Statement
 EZRA. through which the New Deal has spent upwards of $3,- 000.000, ,000 since May, 1883, ended with . brief, mirneigraphed an- nouncement. It was attributed to Hopkins although he was in New York City.
 He had been predicting the move since April 8, when congress appro- priated the $4,00O, ,000, ,000, to make good on President Roosevelt's promise to end the dole by making jobs for 3,600.0O0 needy.
 Hopkins continually insisted since then that local governments would be forced to care for their own chronic dependents. Under threat of shutting off direct relief grants to rebellious states. he succeeded in making legislatures store up $5o0,00O O.000 reserve against the ex- pense.
 Protests, ronetheless, were antici- pated. Several governors, both democrats and republicans, charged him with breaking promises to carry their states through Decem- Der.
 To Keep Them Employed
 Hopkins and other New Deal spending agencies were launched meanwhile. on spending the great est fund ever made available to one administration in one piece, to keep the country's 3,500,000 "em- plcyables" ct work until next July l.,
 The states cut oil relief with the liquidation of the EZRA and their November ailotments included:
 Massachusetts, e9.707,000 for whole month and &600,000 final; New York $7,so0.0O0 for whole month and e4.560.0o0 final; and Pennsylvania, $s,l05.000 and $s.- 0l7.000 final.
