ported to have few pro- Nazi off,
GERS in its ranks and complaints
have been made recently in the
Dutch Socialist press that police in
some towns have not acted ener-
getically enough against followers
of Mussert.
Nazi Uniforms Banned.
BY government decree, the wear
ing of any uniforms except those
officially recognized is forbidden.
That means the disappearance from
the streets of the Dutch Nazis' black
shirts and riding breeches. Even
black collars are not allowed to be
shown, and, as q result, the Black
Shirts always paraded with coat
collars turned up until such parades
were also prohibited.
Then Mussert's followers suddenly
developed strong liking for phys
ical culture" clubs and met at night
in private rooms and halls to en-
gage in apparently harmless ath-
letic exercises. Sometimes they
would go for long hikes in the coun-
try or undertake healthful marching
exercises. But it was noticed there
was always an ex-army man in
charge of these physical jerks" and
exercises, and consequently they
have been forbidden by govern
mental decree.
So now the Dutch Nazis are work.
ing entirely underground, like moles,
trying to spread their doctrines
among the unresponsive Dutch
masses.
1t is not doubted by the Dutch
authorities that, should the day come
when Holland has to face a German
invasion, it would be found that a
certain number of Dutch fanatics
would be helping the aggressor
rather than their own country. But
it is claimed these fanatics are all
known and would be put safely
under lock and key before they
could do any damage. It is also
claimed the Dutch Army is alb
solutely loyal to the monarchy and
the present government and that
every one, from the highest officers
to the rank and file, would fight like
tigers to save the independence of
Holland.

Planes Forced Down.
-Four more planes, including a tri-
motored German transport, made
forced landings in Sweden yester-
day as Swedish aircraft and anti

chase other foreign planes away
from Swedish territory.
The big transport, with a crew of
three, came down in North Sweden
at Vallsta, 120 miles from the bor-
der and Is miles from the east
coast. The pilot said he started
from Narvik but lost his way and
was forced to land when his fuel
supply ran out. The crews of all
the planes were interned.
The United States advised its
citizens to make their own plans
for leaving Sweden in case Of
trouble.

Regents Describe Activities.
The State regents paraded down
the aisles Of Constitution Hall last
night behind the flags of the IA
States and the District of Columbia
The colorful procession was followed
by the annual reports of the regents
IN which they described the chapter
activities during the year. The re-
ports generally told of anniversary
projects throughout the country and
increases in chapter memberships
The United States Army Band, under
the baton of Capt. Thomas F. Darcy
jr., furnished music for the as
semblage.
The opinion that the leaders OF
the United States are getting q
greater case of the 'jitters" over
foreign propaganda circulating in
the country than the average citizen
was expressed before the delegates
assembled in Constitution Hall yes
terday afternoon
Fulton Oursler, editor and novelist
said that America as a whole has
achieved tolerance for the poison
Of propaganda that amounts almost
to immunity"
Il have never been afraid of the
people," he said, but I sometimes
have been timid Of their leaders"
Allies Called Shrewd Propagandists
Declaring that this country is the
target for the propaganda of nine.
tenths of the world, Mr. Oursler saic
that the allies, particularly. "are
adopting the shrewdest kind oi
propaganda ever employed"
"All nations seem to have dropped
barefaced lying as a policy" he
stated. Instead. they are sticking
to the facts, but only to the facts
they want to use"
Mr.. Oursler drew q parallel to ad-
ministrative conditions now and in
1917. He cited an address of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in which the Chief
Executive denounced as fake and
phoney the apprehensions of those
who fear that American soldiers may
yet be sent again to France"
The speaker then told Of a con-
versation between President Wilson
and a mutual friend in which the
World War President was quoted as
reassuring his guest that "as q
gesture we might send a few
thousand troops TO parade and
hearten the allied peoples, but you
can depend on it, the United States
will send no expeditionary forces te
France"
How, then" Mr.. Oursler asked
"can President Roosevelt or any one
else know? Prophecy is a practice

the applicants for loans in Hawaii,
Miss Hunter reported, are Japanese.
Amending Of the bylaws yester-
day was punctuated by questions
and comments by Miss Janet Rich
ards, newly appointed honorary
chairman Of the Golden Jubilee, who
told the delegates she was the
watchdog" Of the congress. Finally,
Mrs. Henry M. Robert jr., president
general, succeeded in presenting an
amendment without interruption. II
must have made that clear" she
smiled. Miss Richards has no
question" But she spoke too soon.
Madame president general" began
Miss Richards, "a point of informa-
ton"
Said one delegate to another at q
session yesterday: II wouldn't have
Mrs. Roberts job for $4,000" The
other responded, Il wouldn't have it
for $25,000." Then she added,
modestly, II couldn't do 1t anyhow" /"
When the time came to receive
pledges to finance the D. A. r. ar
chives room yesterday, Mrs. Russell
William Magma, honorary president
general, was introduced as "our most
accomplished auctioneer, Mrs. Mag
ma lived up to her reputation by
coaxing 1T delegates to the foot Of
the stage with pledges totaling ap-
proximately $500. Among some of
the items Mrs Magma successfully
sold" were tubs of lovely mortar"
units of best brick" attractive wall
space" and containers of pure
paint" The French regent, Mrs.
Harlan Rowe, paid SIS for one of the
containers OF pure paint"

tense Through Patriotic Education.
Mrs. Emery preceded Mr.. Hoover on

"The war clouds Of Europe which
at this moment seem to threaten
civilization" Mrs. Emery said, have
brought to us here in the United

ing of citizenship, the meaning of life

DR.. BENJAMIN SPEAKS
TO PARENT-TEACHERS

By Kathryn Wood

That public opinion be power full instrument
in shaping the trend of educational methods the
keynote of the dramatic address given by Harold
Benjamin, dean of the College of Education of the
University Of Maryland before the joint audience of
the Association AND the Mothers Club
in the Auditorium of Greenbelt Elementary School,
April z.
IA democracy learn that by spending its money
in the ri t direction it have all the money it
needs for education, said Dr.. anin, "People have
money enough for all the education theycan if It
is rightly spente It is not necessarily the amount
spent, but the AMOUNT of thought that goes into that
spending that determines educaton's force in Id
ing correct behavior attitudes. The teacher cannot
bear the entire responsibility. It must from
the community.
Building up his theme by the of parable, Dr..
Benjamin discussed the goni between the
methods in education and the previ ously
found sound-the evolution Of techni ques. "Schoo1
ing began with informal incidental education in pa
leolithic days. The educated then," Ben
jamin continued, "was the who knew how to gauge
what he personally and his community needed and how
to supply it. The early watched his chill
dren engaged in activity purely for activitys sake.
The idea was born of trying to develop this into
activity that would help the community.
ME began to teach the first school subjects, name
ly, fish grabbing with bare hands, how to club the
small Id horses, and how to fire to away
sabre-toothed tigers. His chi ldren learned, "Dr.
Benjamin said, "by putting into practice what was
found helpful. Tis method continued until changing
conditions made necessary another system. Aotivated
by hunger his techniques evolved into the contrast
between the so-called liberal and the PRACTICAL"
Dr.. Benjamin stated with no little hamor "wher-
the practical useless it transferred
to the liberal". Progressive schools caught up the
ideas discarded in effort make education of
value to life, since the function of education
is to fit the indivdu for living. The large audi
