PopC Plus XI was suddenly
stricken gravely i'll today as a
result of an asthmatic heart at

His Holiness was stricken soon
after celebrating Mass this
morning, remained at the Holy
Fathers bedside as DR.. Milani,
drawn and weary, retired TO
take a brief rest.
"The outcome" DIR. Milani

Holy Fathers heart to with
stand the strain"
Saved by Nurse
The Pontiff, it was learned,
was stricken while he was in
the solitude of his private
chapel.
He might have died if not
for the quick thinking of his
male nurse, a Benedictine
monk.
The monk who had been at.
tending the Pope was in the
next room when His Holiness
suffered the attack. Hearing
c h o kin g gasps, the monk
dashed into the room and took
in the situation at a glance.
Then he rushed to summon aid.

Col. John w. HARRISON, administra-

clared in an interview here today
that public opinion is ready to de-
mand better facilities for vocational
education.
Col HARRISON said this demand is
necessary due to the shortage of
good farmers and technicians and to
the great numbers who are not able
with their limited training to take
their places in agriculture and indus

The State College head declared that
development of education in these
fields is not the function of the col
leges, public or private, but is the
function of the advanced grades of
the public school systems.
1.-THE land grant colleges cannot give
any more time or effort towards the
development of these fields as the col
leges are already taxed to the limit
in training sufficient numbers of
teachers for these vocations," he said.
