A Russian, told that there were 25,00O,OO0 automobiles in the Unit ed States, shook his head in dis belief. There could not be 25,000 900 persons in a nation of 13l 100000, he said, who knew how to drive automobiles.
 We know there are more than 25,00,00O here who can. drive cars, trucks, and tractors. Our typical citizen is not afraid of simple ,or even complex machines. He wan $ to master and use their power This holds true all down the line, from the farmer who owns a mod ern baby tractor to the housewife using pressure cooker. an cleo tric mixer, vacuum cleaner. and a power washing machine.
 The ease with which Americans handle machines is wonderful byproduct of more than a century of life and education in a ma- chine age. We have a sort Of technical sixth-sense as a result of our civilization.
 It should be easy for us to un- derstand that machines are our friends. if we know how to use them. They give us the chance to increase production. They have opened the doors to a joyous econ cmy of plenty as compared to the old economy of scarcity.
 But VIC need to understand both the machines and their effects. For the moment let us talk about the need to understand machines and how they work.
 Today in many schools, children learn something about some ma- chimes. They could well receive more instruction in driving auto mobiles, in using sewing machines, in caring for gasoline engines, the elements of mechanical refrigera- tion, radio, and television.
 Along with this general mechan- ical instruction. children from the primary grades upward should get the notion that work is good and that work is necessary, that the machine needs a master.
 That is fundamental like the three R's.
 The secondary school should take account of the fact that most high school pupils need to get jobs ano hold them immediately upon leav- ing scho9!.
 For those leaving school at six teen or seventeen, training can be neither extensive nor specialized

Continuation schools can an q should, however, provide addition al specific training.
 It is well to bear in mind the part that machines may play in the working lives of those who leave school at sixteen or seven- teen. A girl may be a telephone operator or have charge of P.B.X. board. She may be using a variety of electrical devices in her work as a beauty operator A boy may be working in garage or as an elevator operator, or in a photo graphic laboratory.
 The boy or girl who can wait to go to work until the ages of eight cen to twenty can receive some specialized training. Such stu dent might be trained as a respon- sible secretary, .or laboratory or dental assistant, or as a draughts- man for an architects office. Off, flee and laboratory machines, tools and equipment will play biz parts in his working life.
 It is up to our schools to train workers for the skilled and semi skilled jobs. 10 make this a suc- cess we need up -to-date info"ua- tion on tap every day about local occupations, requirements, and cur rent labor needs.
 Exactly how these surveys are to be made we do not know. Prob ally the best way would be to as- sign the job to the Bureau of La bor Statistics which could get he D from the U. s. Employment Se"t- ice, the Census Bureau, the De- partment of Commerce, the De- partment of Agriculture, the Off, flee of Education, and the Bureau of Mines.
 Everybody wants to know today where and what the jobs are which pay good wages.
 After we know the demands, how are we going to advise boys and girls what training to take?
 Advice given sudden, must take account of his capacity, ability, and what he wants to do for a living. Teachers today are being taught to keep continuous records on students in their charge. It is a big responsibility, but they are trying to be equal to it.
 Training in the schools should be given for occupations which are both well paid and useful to so- ciety.
 The old debates as to the rela- tive merits of vocational and non- vocational education are passe. Vocational and general education today must be parts of any boys or girls training. Both are nec- eSsary.

Banded U. 5. Pigeon
Causes Sub Scare

Stories of a submarine lurking In
nearby waters recently frightened
citizens of Ell Triunfo, San Salvador
in Central America. And it was all
caused by a common tern banded
in Massachusetts, by the Biological
Survey. Now Ell Triunfo residents
are relieved that no submarines are
in their territorial limits and are
much the wiser about bird banding.
The submarine scare was started
by a local paper that featured an
article with the headline: Are
There Nazi Submarines in Saliva
dorean Waters?" The article, in
part, stated: "A bird carrying a
band with strange markings ana
ciphers has been found in this coun-
try! 1t is believed it may be q mes
serger pigeon from some Nazi SUBJ
marine in Salvadorean waters" .
Another newspaper, however, cor
rected these "scare lines" and
pointed out that the tern had been
banded by the Biological Survey to
study the flights of birds during mi
grafton.

Even Rain Is Found Ally
OF Dutch Elm Disease
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ITHACA, N. Y.-When q leaf falls
from an elm tree, the Dutch elm
disease can enter through the
"trace," which is q slight scar left on
the stem where the leaf was de-
tached.
Even the ufe-giving rain is an ally
Of this disease, which threatens de-
struction Of American elms.
These findings are part of four
year study showing the full vulnera-
bility Of elms, which is reported in
the journal Phytopathology by Leon
j. Tyler, K. G. Parker and Setn Pope
Of Cornell University.
They traced the spore-producing
growths which spread this disease.
Wind had been suggested as one of
the principal dangers in scattering
spores.
But the Comedians found rain
much more responsible. It loosens
the spores, carries them to the
ground and from there they spread
in various ways. They even may
enter through the roots.
Wounds through which the trees
natural defenses could be penetrated
were common from roots to the top
most leaves.

suburban Sewickley II years ago
after pleading with him to "let me
have peace" He fled to Manville,
N. j., worked in a factory until
last month when he surrendered
so my kids won't have to know

South S Rural School
Improvement Leads
Nation, Farley Told
Sociological Society
Speaker Urges Passage
Of Equalization Bill
BY the Associated Press.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 6.-"Of
all the schools in the Nation the
Southern rural schools are improv-
ing most rapidly" Edwin R. En-
bree. president of the Julius Rosen-
valid Fund, said today before the
Southern Sociological Society con-
ference.
Asserting the South is providing
the Nations surplus population, Mr.
Embree added:
IF New York, Pittsburgh and
Chicago want to educate their fu-
ture citizens they will have to come
down South to do it. Otherwise, New
York, Pittsburgh and Chicago will
suffer.
The South's schools would be
improving even more rapidly if the
South had the money. She hasn't
Backs Equalization Bill.
THE answer to that is a national
equalization bill. A bill has been
pending before Congress for a year
Some day it will be passed. and as
soon as some real money comes in
the rural schools will become first
rate institutions"
for education would provide for pay
ments to each State sums in pro-
portion to education needs.
THE big sums would go to the
poorer States, although New York
would get some money" Mr.. EN-
bree explained, adding that in his
opinion it was reasonable that
money from the North should move
South to aid the schools of this
region.
Most of the money spent in Ten
nessee finds its way to Chicago OF
New York. The money goes North
although it is earned in the South
Officers Elected.
Mr.. Embree said he believed there
was an enormous improvement" in
race relations in the South and that
general economic front now is
possible"
Officers elected during the clos
ing sessions of the two-day con-
ference were:
B. o. Williams, rural sociologist
of Clemson College, president; Dor
