WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Capi-
tai talk:
In recent weeks, no man has
so covered himself with what
passes for success in diplomacy
as Secretary of State Cordell
Hull.
When the conference was call
ed, the capital was full of skep-
ticism. These Pan-American con
ferences always had been ses-
sions of sound and fury signify
ing nothing much and this, every
one said. was going to be just
another one. The economic sit
uation was too full of antagonistic
selfish interests. As for the Mon
roe Doctrine, that always had
been the United States own
baby. -
a United Front
That's the way talk ran around
here before the aSSemblage of the
delegates of the 81 American ma
tons at Havana. Secretary Hull
arrived on the scene and went
to work.
One of the men who was at the
conference said: mo man work
ed harder than he. No man was
more patient, more tolerant,
more deeply solicitous of the
wishes and views and attitudes
of the other delegations and be it
said also that no man enjoyed
more esteem.
Those are attributes of states

EDUCATOR CALLS
ON SCHOOLS TO
GUIDE STUDENTS
PRESENT CURRICULUM Of
FERED AT TRADE AND IN
DUSTRIAL SCHOOL DIGS IN
TO EDUCATION PROBLEMS

NSDcciaA 10 me C1t1Xenl
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Aug.
Whose fault is it when a
youngster drops out of school?
Royce E Brewster, guidance ex-
pert, thinks the school often is to
blame.
There are no <mis-fit' pupils, "
he says, Rather, there are mis-
fit curriculums, and mis-fit,
schools"
For the schools sometimes
don't face the realities as square
ly as the students do. Four out
of five high school graduates
have to quit school and go to
work. But most curriculums are
designed to meet the needs of the
one in five who goes on to col
lege"
why prepare for college if
you aren't going? Wouldn't it be
better to prepare for a job"
Brewster, specialist attached to
the u. S. Office of Education'S
consultation and field service in
occupational information and
guidance, believes the cold facts
argue the need for more emphasis
upon vocational education and
guidance.
AS an instructor at the Univer-
sity of Florida's Trade and In
dustrial School here this sum-
mer, he is helping vocational
teachers formulate the problem.
He continued to point out that:
1.-THE thing isn't as simple as it
sounds. You can't just train for
jobs. Yau've got to train par
ticular students for particular
jobs
What jobs? There should be
local occupational surveys, Brew
ster says, to get definite informa-
ton on the types of work avail
able in the community, the num-
Der employed in each, the sort of
training required. and so on.
What students? Aptitudes, in
clinations; background and ex-
perience of the particular stu
dent, Brewster says, gotten at
through the keeping of cum
ulative records, should be
equated to the requirements OF
the particular job.
Finally, ne said, it is a part of
the schools responsibility to help
students find jobs after they are
trained. Guidance is but one OF
more than a score of subjects Of
fered on the third term curri-
culum of the University of Flor
ida's Trade and Industrial School
here this summer. Others range
from store employment and train
ing methods to apprenticeship and
labor relations.

HULL PERFORMED WONDERFUL JOB
Capitol Sees Little Likelihood OF Further Coalitions


Feature Service Writer
Hull nodded the conference into
a united front.
True it is that Argentina is a
little cool to the whole business
and its congress may not ratify
that "act of Havana, but that
does not keep official Washington
from showering Hull with such
phrases as ''the browning achieve
ment of your long and illustrious
career.
No Coalition
The talk continues to circulate
about Wendell L. WilIkie and
President Roosevelt getting to-
gether for conferences on vital
matters in the foreign situation.
But hard-headed politicians
argue that the Republicans would
be against it because it would
shoot holes in their campaign
contention that the President is
leading us into war. The Demo-
Gratis would be against it be-
cause they are taking all the re-
sponsibility for our foreign policy
and will continue to do so
through those vital days ahead
until next January at least, even
if the election goes against them)
and that there should be no ques-
ton of sharing the credit, if any.
In other words, if the political
observers are right, you can look
for no further coalition or united
front from either of the parties
until after November, if then.
