thy soul be required of thee" What
is it that continually bedevils all in
ternational relations? What Is it
that prevents the cooperation and
united effort which is our only hope
in war and in peace? Why, OF
course, it is national selfishness,
every nation for itself and the devil
take the hindmost, which Is pre-
cisely what the devil in the form
of brutal aggression has proceeded
to do. The statesmen of all the great
democracies, almost without excep-
ton, took selfish views, took short
views, during the armistice between
the First and Second World Wars.
The breakdown of the League of
Nations and the collapse Of interna-
tional order and morality followed
as inevitably as the night follows
the day.
I am prepared to say that a great
many educators have been taking
short views, skeptical views, selfish
views and that is one of the rea-
sons there is some confusion in edu-
cational circles today. am heart
ened to discover that there is turn
in the tide. DR.. Gideonse, the Pres
ident of Brooklyn College, declared
recently that every society has the
type of youth it deserves He is
planning for the return of youth
after the war is over. He refused to
think of education in terms of the
emergency only. DR.. Harry N.
Wright newly elected president of
the City College of New York had
this to say recently for himself and
his contemporaries in higher educa-
ton In America, I'VE have done
much to promote skepticism and
relatively little to recognize faith as
an essential in life. Above all else,
our boys and girls - and ourselves,
too - want something in which they
can believe. And it must be some
thing beyond the test tube, the
administrations mathematics or the
.SpeculationS of philosophy" DR..
Wright goes on to say that it is the
character of the teacher that con-
stitutes the most important prob
lens In education. I'm selecting our
instructors we must require more
than technical competence; we must
insist also on character which will
provide a worthy and a persuasive
example for students" For some
time past there has been a tend
ency on the part of great institu-
tons of learning to discount the
personality and the character of
the teacher. The emphasis was on
ability in research, the number of
learned papers and scholarly vol
umes publisher. But the great teach
ers have always been men of strong
character and they made their con-
tribution, not so much in the in
formation they impaired OF even in
the skills they were able to foster in
their students, but in their ability to
lift the minds and hearts of their
students to far horizons, to instill in
them passion for truth, love OF
the beautiful, determination to
play worthy part and render some
unself1Sh service. Two of the great
est teachers I ever had were in the
fields of mathematics and chem
istry. I have forgotten practically all
! ever learned about higher mathe-
mates and organic chemistry. My
interests are centered in other fields
now but I shall never cease to be
grateful because I knew those men
and sat at their feet.

Same Shipyards, That Cre- ated Old Aircraft Carrier,
 Are Building Successor

Quincy, Mass, June l7.-(UP)--A new aircraft carrier Lexington namesake of the one sunk in the Coral ea--appeared as if by magic today on the ways of the same yard where the lost ship was built 20 years ago.
 Granting request of 23,00O work CTS at Bethlehem Steel Co.'S fore river yard, Secretary of navy Frank Knox announced last night that the carrier now building would be named Lexington instead of Cabot, as scheduled.
 "Your telegram is nothing less than an inspiration" wired Knox in reply to the workers request. T am more than pleased to grant your request and give the new car- rier the name of Lexington. We will give the name of Cabot to @ later ship of the same design. know that, inspired by this action which you yourselves suggested, every man employed on the Lexington will con- tribute his maximum effort to its speedy construction and commis- sionS."
 News of Knox's decision was given to some 5000 night shift workers by William H. Norton, president of the Independent Union of Fore river shipyard workers and one of those who helped build the original Lex ington.

UNAUTHORIZED
 STRIKE STILL ON
War Labor Board Is Trying to Straighten Out TrOu.
 ble at Fall River

Fall River, Mass, June 17-(UP) War production came to a virtual standstill at the Arkwright Corp. mill today while the war labor board met in Washington with company officials and President James Tam sey of the American Federation of Textile Operatives (Independent).
 The union did not authorize the strike and apparently had no con- trol over the 128 loom changers and loom fixerS who walked out nine days ago for 6 wage increase and who refused to cooperate with the VILE.
 The strikers refused to return to work pending arbitration and last night George H. Bradbury, head of the strikers, refused to attend the conference at Washington on grounds that he was 8 working man and could not afford the trip.
 When the strikers refused to re- turn to work the WLB-in the first action of its kind-ordered the U. s. Employment service to replace the strikers. However, that failed as none of the requirements" sent to the plant were able to do the work.
 About 900 of then plants 1260 er1- ployes already have been forced hl- to idleness by the strike and su- perintendent Ernest A. Kirby said the mill could operate only one more day under the present arrangement.

 Kramer was charged with pur- chasing 320 pounds of copper wire which had been stolen from the Lock Joint Pipe Co.,, by two youths, one IS and the other 16 years old. The transaction was made April 27.
 Counsel for the accused pointed out that restitution had been made to the company and the accused man was ready to give up his sjunk business.

The case was continued under a $2,500 bond issued when the junk dealer was arrested.
