School Farley Told
Of Need for Social
Consciousness
Parent Relationship
Also Discussed at
Meeting at 6. w. U.

A social consciousness among
children in classrooms and making
parents comfortable" in their re-
lationships with schools were ad-
vanced today to some $50 school ad-
ministrators and supervisors from
the District and nearby States as
among the means leading to the
educational objective of the pres
ervation of democracy.
The group met at George Wash
ington University under the auspices
of the university's school of educa-
ton.
Illustrating the need for social
consciousness" particularly in the
secondary schools, Miss Mildred
Dean, head of the department of
Latin in the District schools, de-
scribed the classroom of former DAYS
as resembling a group of balloons,
each with a direct line to the
teacher, but with little other than
physical contact. She suggested
that pupils should be encouraged to
question each other in their recita-
tions. particularly where some mis-
take has been made, instead of hav-
ing the queries and criticisms come
from the teacher.
Obligation to Parents.
In connection with parent rela-
tionships with the school, other
members of panel emphasized
that education is not "a one-way
proposition going out from the
schools" Members recognized an
obligation on the part of the school
people to explain to parents not only
educational objectives, but also
technical procedure if the infor-
nation was desired. At the same
time it was also indicated that the
schools could obtain useful knowl-
edge from the parents to help them
in dealing with the curriculum and
the child.
The pendulum would seem to be
swinging back from recent trends to
base Willies education on his whims,
or the whimS Of others. A new dis
cipline Is entering democracy, it
was said, and will be reflected in the
schools.
The panel discussion followed an
Introductory address by DR.. G. L.
Cushman, co-ordinator of the
Commission on Teacher Education
Of the American Council on Educa-
ton. DR.. Cushman urged using the
experience Of the last so years in
developing new school procedures.
to make the present-day school ade-
quate even in such times as these"
Break Up Into Groups.
He emphasized the need for school
people to consider the tensions Gre
ated not only among political
groups, but even within families as
result of the international situa-
tion.
The administrators, many of whom
were from the District school system,
later broke up into three discussion
groups to take up the role of reading
in child development, the wider util-
ization of community resources by
schools and the use Of cooperative
planning in supervision.
Other members Of the panel which
discussed points raised by DR.. Cush-
man were, in addition to Miss Dean
DR.. Mitchell Dreese, professor of
educational psychology at the uni
versity; DR.. Ellis Haworth, professor
OF science at Wilson Teachers Col
lege; Miss Dorothy o. Hoge. prin-
cipal of the Mount Vernon School in
Alexandria, and Miss Florence r.
Gravatte, supervisor Of schools in
Arlington County, Va.

 Bare Living
 Old Pete had a steady audience there for months, never a large audience and one made up mostly of small boys who waited spell bound from show to show to hear him tell again how he famed Laz- zeri in the clutch. But 1t was a living for him and 1t might have led to better things, but just then Old Pete got the worst break of all.
 He got sick and the doctors told him he would have to quit work and go to a hospital. More or less by accident, some of his friends found out about 1t and began collecting money to give him lift across hard times.
 Now he is out of the hospital, still weak and not quite ready to go back to work. The bills are not knee deep, but there are plenty of them.

King Cole 6-l After Satur. day Win at Jamaica
 Race Track

New York, April 14-(UP) The l94l Kentucky Derby has settled in- to Q seven-horse race-although three or four other hopefuls can add their names to the dwindling list.
 Rated on the future book the seven currently regarded as certain factors in the May 3 classic are King Ranch's Dispose, Calumet Farms Whirlaway, Ogden Phipp's King Cole, c. s. Towards Porter's Cap, oldstream stables Curious Coin, Wheatley stables Bold 1rishman and Woodvale Farms Our Boots. They rank more or less in the or der named, although 1t IS changing daily.
 The new names in the group are those of King Cole and Bold Irish man. Both are trained by Sunny Jim Fltzsimmons. The former in- pressed all observers over the week. end when he won the Paumonok Handicap at Jamaica from 10 older horses by more than three lengths, eased up. The latter hasn't been out yet this year, but reports from Aqueduct say he's the best of the lot.
 Two Choices
 Dispose and Whirlaway are CO., favorites at Al, with King Cole, .Porter,s Cap and Curious Coin at B-1 along with Our Boots. Bold Irishman Is the highest of the lot at 8 to 1, but he is not expected to remain there after he runs for the first time this week. Behind the select circles the prices still range up to the ridiculous figure of 1,000- 1.

oJhnny Bulla'sh picking up be- cause Ralph Quldahl played too slowly to suit. him int he Land of the Sky Open In Asheville was as inexcusable as 1t was discourteous.
 Thereis no place in golf for any thing like that.
 Bulla seems to specialize in doing the wrong thing at the right time.
 It was Bulla who ured Ed Oliver to start early to beat a storm, a stunt which brought about the Porky Ones heart-breaking dis qualification in the United States Open last June, though he tied Law son Little and Gene Sarazen for the right to play off.
 Bulla also was disqualified at Pinehusrt
 Bulla has become so unpopular that the auc.ioneer practically had to beg to get bidding started on him in the Calcutta pool preceding the Augusta Masters.
 Though he is one of the cracks of the game, Bulla went for something like $200, as compared to the $l ,25 brought by Samuel Jackson Snead and the $l,000 paid for little Ben Hogan's chance.
 No one wanted any part of Bulla.
 Maybe that will put Johnny Bulla next to himself.

 old Pete hasn't got the price of a bleacher seat these days and he never was much on going around and cadging passes. At the moment his assets consist of plaque in baseball's hall of fame at Coopers- town, N. Y, but that's not the kind of thing you take around the cor ner and swap for bread and shelter
 He was doing all right, asking no favors and taking the breaks--good and bad-as they came until all of them turned bad. Organized base ball never could find place for him after this buggy-whip right arm lost its snap, but there's no use blaming organized baseball for that. Old Pete never pretended to be a manw ho said no when somebody suggested just one more round.
 Tank Town Tour
 You probably know what happen ed to him after he lost his last big league ob. He went with House of David team for a while. pitching @ couple of innings each day around the tank town circuit and earning enough money to buy the things he needed and some things he didn't need.
 The sinew and muscle in a pitch ing arm won't last forever, and there came a time when Old Pete couldn't even go two innings against the semi-pros.
 Two years ago I walked through the snow to museum on 42nd street and found Old Pete still in there pitching for his coffee and cake money.
 He was selling memories to the customers at a nickel a head. They drifted from the booth of a card trickster to the place where a woman was being sawed in half and then to tiny stage where Old Pete, in wrinkled brown suit, was mak- ing a nervous. hesitant speech about the most shining moment in his great career.
 He was telling them about the seventh game of the 1928 World Series. telling them in low voice that hardly carried above the shuf- file of feet through the nickel mu- scum.
 Well" he said, T guess you know I was with the Cardinals and we had won three in the series and the Yankees had won three. Jess Haines started the last game for us and along about the seventh inning he hurt his hand. So they told me to go out there. Well, there was three on base and Lazzeri was at bat. I figured he was more nervous than I was. I worked on him kind of careful and then I got two strikes

BOSTON BRUINS
 CELEBRATE ICE
 CHAMPIONSHIP
Stanley Cup Goes to Hub After Four Straight
 Wins; Big Party
BY TOM NOONAN

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Boston, April 14-(UP) The famed Stanley Cup, emblematic oi world ice hockey supremacy and still smelling faintly of champagne was unpacked at a Back Bay hoetl today for exhibition tomorrow night at the victory dinner of the Boston Bruins.
 The scared old mug, stored In a travel l-battered brown box, arrived last night with players, cluboffi- cials and newsmen from Detroit where the Bruins added another record to their imposing list by trouncing the Red Wings in four straight games to win the 194o-4l title.
 Changing bells and blowing horns more than 500 of hockey's most rabid supporters stormed little Huntington avenue station to give game and celebration weary play CTS an uproarious welcome.
 Champagne Charleys
 Paced by a siren n-screaming po- lice escort, the Bruins left Detroit with their third Stanley Cup tri- umph In IT years early yesterday after breaking training by drinking copious quantities of champagne from the silver trophy in an in- formal party at their hotel quar- ters.
 The long season that included 4a regular games and Il playoff con- tests had ended several hours previously when the Bruins smash ed Detroit's bid with a 3-1 victory for the first sweep since the best of-seven final series started three years ago.
 Presentation of the trophy by Frank Calder, National Hockey League president, became mere formality when the Bruins surged from behind with twin second- period tallies within 61 seconds after Jimmy Orlando, Detroit de- fenseman, was exiled for tripping
 Cautious defense tactics and superb net-tending by Goalie Frank Brimselk frustrated the Red Wings efforts from that point, enabling Boston to win for the fifth time in the playoffs by overcoming oppo- sition leaders.
 Handicapped
 The triumph that returned the title to Boston after a one-year lapse was an anti-climax to the Bruins feat of reaching the finals by winning the last two games against Toronto following loss of ace Center Bill Cowley. The New York Rangers, defending cham pions, were eliminated by Detroit in @ preliminary series
 It was brilliant windup for a team that Manager Art Ross termed the finest I ever have seen." of to an uncertain start, the rolled 23 games unbeaten for a new Bruins suddenly began to click and record. They sped to their third straight National Hockey League title with only one defeat in their last 32 starts.
 In the words of Owner Weston w. Adams, perfect balance and @ grand competitive spirit" were the outstanding reasons for their suc- cess.
