When her bosses told her TO

Gives Her The WiIlies

As for money itself, Betty
doesn't care much about H..
The house she bought from the
IIydeS is the only worthwhile
thing she ever owned.
"And when l think Of being
tied down TO hunk OF real
estate. or to any other kind of
property, it gives me the will

ISOLATION that l don't own II all
because I'm paying for 1t on the
instalment plan"
The real reason why Betty
bought the house is because she
wanted a quiet place where she
could sleep undisturbed at night.
The slightest noise awakens
her. Another factor was that
she suffers from claustrophobia,
and this dwelling has diversified
rooms and lots of windows. II
Betty is locked up IN a small

Lytheton Apologized
In June For Statement
Quoted By Clare Luce

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-tRECapt.
Oliver Lyttleton made personal
apology in the House of Commons
last June 81, the day after he
made his remarks about America
which Rep. Clare Booth Luce
quoted in her Chicago speech.
The British minister of produc-
ton did not deny he had remarked
at an American Chamber of Com
merce luncheon in London that
the United States had provoked
Japan but disclaimed any inten-
ton of giving this as his belief.
Asserting that ne was only try
ing to express gratitude for lend
lease aid prior to the Jananese
assault, Lyttelton said:
st ask the House to believe that
the fault was one of expression
and not of intention. and I hope
that this apology will undo any
harm which the original words
may have caused here or in the
United States"

BY ROGER BABsON

BABSON PARK, Mass, Oct. Is
Education is the one industry in
which almost no improvement has
been made during the past fifty, or,
perhaps, one hundred years. 1t is
true that better schoolhouses have
been built and the teachers are
being better paid. Whether or not
these teachers are as well succeed
ing in winning the hearts and bet
tering the lives of their students is
debatable. Certainly. the education
al standards have been declining,
while the, educational expenses
have been increasing. For instance,
forty years ago the communities
from which I drew employees re-
quired those who took the secre-
tarial course to type so words a
minute before graduating. This re-
quirement has slowly been reduced
so that today girl can graduate
from secretarial course by doing

much interested in the words per
minute, which one can do, as in
the thoughts per minute. The
subjects which are, not Nbeing
taught in school are the important
subjects. AS result, most employ
ers believe that education today is
as backward as was the electrical
industry 200 years ago, in Frank
Inns day.. when electricity colud
be obtained only by flying KITE
in the skies. School superintend-
ents have yet to learn that the I'M
portant things aof lifes'are the I'M
seen and spiritual class reel;
tations, written examinations and
memory tests. :.
With a set Of Encyclopedia Bri-
tannica on his desk, plus the ability
to read, write and figure. the b1si-
nessman has, for practical pur-
poses, all the information avail
able to any college graduate. The
important question is whether ne
has those intangible assets such

as character, industry, initiative,

what our homes and schools should
teach.
have been able to get satisfac-
tory statistics on every industry ex-
cept the educational industry.
Therefore, I cannot prove that the
students receiving h highest
marks in school do not turn out to
be the most useful and successful
citizens. Certainly, character, in
dustry, initiative, courage and per-
sistence are of infinitely more val
ue than the ability to get high
marks. In fact, I believe that those
who have these qualities will make
a success in life whether or not
they ever see the inside of col
lege; while young people lacking
these qualities could never amount
to anything with dozen Ph.Ds.
What is the reason and what is
the answer? Educators tell us that
it's question Of inheritance and
home training, but I believe it is
much more than this. There is
something physically and spiritual
ly wrong with boy who has not
these vital qqualities. His brain,
eyes, ears Or his glands need ply
steal attention. Educators should
60 about stamping out ignorance,
faulty judgment, laziness, etc. as
physicians have stamped out
smallpox, cholera and typhoid
fever. H..
The preachers should be of great
er help in re-generating youth.
Jesus hit the educational nail on
the head when He said that we all
must be born again in order to
amount to anything. I am much
interested in what the mental ex-
perts are accomplishing at certain
state insane asylums. It seems par
adoxical that the laboratories in
these. asylums may solve the edu-
cational problem of the schools and
colleges; but present experiments
are pointing that way.
The Babson Institute Of 1894 will
have surgical department to op-
crate on the glands and dietary
kitchen to supply certain students
with needed minerals which they
lack because of their home soil
conditions, I am told that dumping
students in ice water has walked
them up and has changed the entire
course Of their lives. At any rate,
only when we have discovered a
foolproof method Of arousing youth
spiritually and mentally, will we
be able to pay or present public
debts Of 100000, 100000 year.

RUSSIANS INVADE
PETSAM0 SECTOR

LONDON, Oct. 49, R Soviet
troops have occupied the port OF
Liinahamara in the Petsamo area
of northern Finland, the German
international information bureau
said today.
Across from this northern termi-
nus of the Arctic highway a n d
near the Swedish border, a Hell
sinki communique reported, Fin
nish troops were attacking Ger
man lines.
In the Kerni river area the Firms
reached the Koivy river, and IN
the Tormea river valley had pass
ed Korpikylae, tn communicate
said.
DNB, official German news agen-
cy, reported that large scale fight
ing OF German Alpine troops west
Of Murmansk continued against
strong Soviet formations.
The importance attached by the
Soviets to these engagements, DNll
said, may be guaged from their
having concentrated about II to IL
divisions west of Murmansk and at
the Arctic coast, including several
tank formations with a total Of
about 300 tanks.
The German agency said that
such concentration in n compare.
lively small area showed the So
Wet intention not only to destroy
German groups ninorth Finland
but also of advancing into Nor
way.
DNB said that at the focal point
of Soviet attacks yesterday near
Luostara, Alpine troops were able
to maintain their positions and in
fhct heavy losses on the enemy.
Fresh Soviet landings at Petsamo
bay were reported. DNB said all
Soviet attacks on the Arctic front
were foiled by strong German de-
lenses.
The German Transocean news
agency said only minor German
garrison protected Liinahamari
when it was occupied by Russian
troops. Before withdrawing, Trans
ocean said, the Germans destroyed
all port establishments, fortifica-
tons and batteries.
