teacher, she said and advised that children be allowed to talk natural ly. When children were made to talk like teacher who used English book English" the language of the nation became stultified, she said. All types of children should not be made to talk in the same tones, she said, declaring i've have flattened out uniqueness, the dramatic qualities of speech and of personality"
 Stating all should cooperate in school work, Miss Cans said i've must build a democratically-plan- ned school administration where every teacher, every principal and as many parents as possible will bring in ideas that will help. We ought to have the parents much closer to the school than just go- ing to see member of the school board"
 Teachers should be careful to keep constant touch with modern education for if they don't go for ward they probably are going back ward, she said. The teacher ought to be free to experiment and to ini- tiate, and not be afraid to do so.
 Urges Cooperation With Parents
 In referring to cooperation with the parents, she said the parents seem more willing to pay taxes for good highways than for better edu- cation and warned the teachers it may be because the public doesn't think so much of the value of the old system of education. The public should be educated to desire a high standard of education.
 The attitude that once change is made, it is permanent should not be taken, Miss Cans declared. Lets try things out and let's be con- stantly changing"
 There is tremendous lack of hu- nor in the teaching profession, she asserted. Some teachers can't laugh at their mistakes. They must edu- cate themselves out of this attitude and develop a better sense of hu- nor. The result of the brand of education she described would be an active constructive fool-proof citizen and constructive, fool-proof teachers, Miss Cans said in con- clusion. Miss Mae Cullen introduced the speaker. There was good at tendance. t
 Hits Football
 Miss Cans implied that football is not as good in school life as some other sports such as tennis, golf, camping, hiking might be. She had pointed out that no type of equip ment in school could be hygienic if pupil sits in it for five hours day and stated the school program should include provision for the child moving about more.
 She then said that after no &C., tivity, we suddenly pump them into the military activity we call ath- letics." Referring to fooball, she pointed out comparatively few at a school engage in it and it is 8 type of activity which is not played by many after their schooling is com- pleted.
 She quoted Professor Williams of Columbia as saying children should be guided in sport life to learn to do well those sports they can con- tiaue after school days are over, and said tennis, golf, camping and hik- ing can be continued after one has left college.

Should Know Problems

The education curricula must guide children and help them to be- come more scholarly. By the time they graduate from high school or even from eighth grade, they should be open-eyed and informed about the problems of the world. Children should be taught to become 50 in- terested in problems that they would willingly take an interest in these things during the summer, she said.
 'I don't care a nickel about an education that stops when the school doors close in the summer" she said. She pointed out that the teachers themselves found them selves ignorant of such things as the law of suppl yand demand, of technocracy and of other things which developed during the depres- sion. .
 There is terrific problems ahead, she warned. The children graduat- ing from high school who enter fac- tofieS will enter the A. F. of L.-C. l. O. conflict about which they know nothing and a ward boss will tell them how to decide. she said.

Hits History As Taught

we got the worst stuff that we called history" she said, talking about past methods of teaching. We didn't get the facts. We were given rather highly-fanciful tale of pa- triotism, not the real history. The history of America is not the his- tory of people who were entirely virtuous. They were guilty of all the human frailties that most of us today are guilty of," Miss Cans stated smilingly.
 Fear and stiff control from the front of the schol room begot hypocrisy and cheating in the chil- dren, she said. She then asked what kind of education will be enough to satisfy the children of tomorrow.
 The educational program today is nearly the same as it was when we were digging buggies out of the mud and wearing cotton stockings, Miss Cans declared.
 Little Change
 We put a little gravel into the mudholes of education, we did a little repairing and veneering but by and large 1t is the same buggy as it was when you and I rode in it." the speaker said. We need a new vehicle of education, a vigorous overhauling.
 The child should have the largest part of his education in the present, that is it should deal with present conditions, Miss Cans said, stating i've learned about the Greeks and Magma Charter and other things of the past but nothing pertaining to the present. We had a retro spective brand of education. We need to make it prospective and also to look into the future, she asserted.
 Of course a child of six is not concerned about what is now going on in Spain but he is concerned about the problems in his neigh borhood and a child has to learn how to play and work with chil- dren, how to express himself, how to solve his present problems. The schools should teach him this, Miss Cans said.

To Vote on Truck


 Taxpayers of Beacon Falls will probably decide at a special town meeting called for Tuesday night whether they wish the town to pur- chase a truck. Although in the past trucks used in road work here have been hired, it was suggested at the March town meeting that a truck be bought and a vote on this is eX- pected Tuesday.
 The taxpayers will also vote on the question of approval of the state aid dirt road program here. The local selectmen have been notified an appropriation of $17,750 has been allotted to Beacon Falls this year and will be available soon. 'The pro- gram of road work planned here will be read and if approved by the local residents, it will be signed and re- turned to the state. Money for such work cannot be obtained until such approval is given. The special meeting will be in the town hall at 8 o'clock.

Alabama VlsItor EIated

Frequently we hear many I'M
worthy things said of the South,
so that when we find something IN
favor of that section, it should
be broadcast. DR.. Thomas Roy Pey-
ton, young specialist in Proctology,
has returned to New York from
his first trip to Alabama, where he
attended the annual meeting of the
John A. Andrew Clinical Society
at Tuskegee Institute, and he is
filled with a glowing account of
the tabled southern hospitality, and
notes how well the group appears
to be doing in that section.

turned from the John A Andrew
Clinical Society meet at Tuskegee
Institute, Ala, and is loud in his
praise of the reception accorded

Peyton, who is the only colored
man in his field. lectured -four
times. held a clinic once, and made
one demonstration before two nun
dred physicians attending the Goth
annual meeting of the Society.

having been south until January
when he went to Union, S. c.. to
attend the clinic at DR.. Longs

there met DR.. j. H. Hale of Nash

attend the Tuskegee clinic. Mo-
toring to Alabama with his fa-
naily, DR.. Peyton said ne found
nothing but the finest treatment
and hospitality, and splendid CO.

The delegation was Of the unan-

facilitating the country, and felt
that It would be beneficial for his
influence to continue for many
years to come.
Members Of the party suggested
to President Vincent that they viii
consult in this country on plans
to further promote the sale Of Hal
tian coffee IN America, and to pro-
mote the tourist trade to Haiti
among American Negroes.
In conclusion It Is worth remem-
bering that the delegation Of six

Of hurtful criticism Of the Republic
of its Administration. The Admin
istration was happy to have their.
