LONERCAN FAVORS TOURISTS HIGHWAY
Proposes Unique Plan to Encourage Motorists;
 Outlines Features
Special To The Democrat)

Washington, D. 0. Nov. 30-Sen- ator Augustine Lonergan, Connect. cut, has submitted to the Burear of Public Roads for study a self liquiding plan for construction 0. an American Tourist highway sys tenn, which, he said, would provide extensive employment, improve th safety of highways, and enable tour ists to travel on direct lines to i'm. portant points without interference from trucks and busses, railroad crossings, cities and towns, and the problem of glaring headlights.
 If there are no serious objections to the plan, Senator Lonergan said he would sponsor necessary laws to make 1t effective.
 Generally, the Senator explained, the plan proposes the issuance by the Federal Government of Ameri- can Tourist Highway bonds. bearing per cent interest, without tax ex- emption, for construction of lighted highways following straight airline routes between designated points. to be liquidated by mileage charge of one-half to one cent to motorists preferring to use such routes. Such a charge could not be considered as @ toll, he said, in view of the exist ence of other main highways which motorists now take if they prefer.
 The plan, he said, is based on the assumption that there are many motorists willing to pay a small extra charge for the convenience.
 Thousands of motorists. he said, are able to travel during the year from one part of the country to an- other. This is their luxury. and to them the convenience and safety of boulevard travel would more than lulatifv tho small eytFa chagRe dklrs

Ing the period of years necessary to liquidate the project. Germany and other European countries have tried the plan and find it successful, he said, and similar highways in New York and various parts of the Uni- ted States operated by private or public enterprise ct Q small extra charge, have proved popular and financially successful. The plan would merely supplement, and not interfere with the regular Federal Aid Highway program.

 Leaving aside momentous things such as wars, strikes, acts of congress- and presidential soioqules the unusual The things that makes is the unusual. The things that makes is the thing wh oh is in contrast to regular routine.
 So when you find metropolitan newspaper such as the San Francisco News printing interesting three part series Caornias state reformatory at Preson you safe in assuming that the reformaory is because it does things differently than ordinary reform atorieS do them
 The Preston insttution-and by the way, they don't like to have it called reformatory; it's the Preston School of 1ndustry-looks like pleasant little univer sy. It is out in the country, with neat dormitories farmlands athletic field, and campus spread out thousand rolling acres.

 It is news obviously because it is in such sharp con- trast to the ordinary reformatory.
 The average reformatory is nothing but peniten- tiary in disguise It generally swamped with twice many offenders as it designed to handle It is all too often crippled by politics. The idea of stern deviang punishment tends to take precedence of the idea of reform The result is that in far far too many cases, if young isn't ruined for life before his n- generation he is ruined when he out The very word, "reformatory" has become bitter mockery

Most Of US like praise and it is some

some wisdom. Now comes DIR. Robert M.
Hutchins, Of the University of Chicago to
tell us the truth that we subconsciously
suspected. ros
Despite the most extensive and Ella
borate educational system in the world,
says the University leader, the people of
this country are still uneducated. "Our
people have little knowledge and much

COLLEGES CROWDED

Classrooms and dormitories of col
leges all over the United States are re.
ported crowded beyond capacity this fall
as one of the largest groups Of college
students begin their annual work.
A survey. made b. the New York
Times. reveals d 80 per cent gain over last
year but this compares with per cent
gain the year before and may indicate that
the rush for higher education is slowing
down somewhat.
Something like this IS to be expected
because of the difficulties encountered b.
college graduates in finding profitable
employment during the depression years.
There was . day IN the United States when
a college graduate. almost ipse facto. was
worth more money to an employer than a
Eon-graduate, but the truth Of the state
ment Is at least questionable today.
