Hartford, Conn, July 26-(UP) A hotel clerk was exonerated today on charges of discrimina- ton in allegedly refusing to give hotel accommodations to three Negroes because of their race.
 In what was reported to be the first case in Hartford involving an alleged violation of the state anti . discrimination statute, Po- lice Court Judge Abraham A. Ribicoff found the defendant, John Martocci, night clerk of the Hotel Essex, not guilty.
 Martocci said he was unable to give accommodations to Mrs. Ethel Thompson, Negro, Provi- dence, R. l., and her husband and grandchild because on the night she applied there was only one room available, too small for three persons. Several witnesses testified overhearing his con- versation.
 Mrs. Thompson had charged the clerk refused to give them a room because they were Negroes.

"COUNSEL" !"

Be forgiving and you will be forgiven
Be loving and you will be loved
Never drive and you'll not be driven,
Never sink and you'll climb above.
For life is not an empty. dream
But life is what you make it.
Things are not all what they seem
They re the way you take it.
Always show little ambition.
Always show little fight
You'll win under any condition
If you strive to do the right.
Show the man who needs to be shown,
Teach his feet where they should trod,
Tell him things he should have known
Of love and life of Faith in God.

Geography Changes
JAMES GLASGOW

Geography and all other
branches of knowledge are under.
going changes. yet the recent
changes, in geography have been
made dramatic by the war and the
airplane.
Distancer are no longer barriers
and there are few areas which can
be called isolated. Soon, Michigan
school children will be relating
stories and incidents told them by
their fathers who fought at Bataan,
Guadalcanal. Two lima, Okinawa,-
all places included on few maps Of
1910.
Three OF the many changes which
the geography department are max.
Ing are OF particular Importance:
First is the teaching OF toler.
ance OF foreign peoples. When you
understand the poor environment
in 'hich many people live, you are
more tolerant of them. For exam
pie. the poor farmers OF Greece
are poor because nature doesn't
give them much with which to
make a living.
The second change is the real
core of the new Geography; II ex.
plains results OF regional environ.
ment-why automobiles are made
In Detroit, cheese in Wisconsin,
why cotton Is raised II the South
and rice in India. This study ex.
plains effects OF land surfaces, eli.
mate, soil, rainfall, vegetation, min
erals, transportation, upon the peo-
pie and their occupations.
The third change gives more
specific information about regions
where this war has been fought
and about the people and their en-
yironment.
The geography department at
Michigan State Normal College was
one OF the first colleges to offer
work on al continents and islands
OF the world. Courses include spe-
cial studies of Michigan. United
States and Canada, Europe, Asia,
Africa, Australia, and Latin Ameri.
ca.
New courses are Geography of
Current Events, Geography and
History OF Latin America. Advanc.
ed Meteorology. Pre-Flight Aeron-
autics, and two graduate courses.
Regions as Geographic Units, and
Local Regional Geography.

to trace mans struggle to free him.
self from tyranny and authority
over his life. Back OF this course
is the thought that since we are
fighting to preserve democracy. per.
haps we should know what Il has
cost to gain II.
II has long been recognized that
the science OF human relations has
Jagged behind the physical sciences
and invention. The race has be-
come quite efficient in the making
OF things, but 1t is deplorably
backward in the constructive use
OF the things II makes. Some stu.
dents Of this dilema have even pre-
dicted that the race will destroy
itself with its own skill. Efficient
tools in the hands OF peoples who
are essentially barbarians make
them a menace to the world.
The war has called our attention
to the fact that the world is, In
truth, one. Nations are divisions
OF that one world and as such, only
members of community. In the
future, the fact will be emphasized
that during the nineteenth century
when we lived to ourselves alone,
in our imagination, but not in our
economy, such a course was pos
sible. When we entered the First
World War, We broke with the old
practice and entered into world
events but failed to adjust our
thinking to the altered situation.
From this point, our world rela-
tons will receive added emphasis.
More and more, man is likely to
turn to the tried experiences Of the
race In the attempt to appropriate
for his present use the lessons and
wisdom which they may contain.
More and more he will learn to
doubt his capacity to solve his prob
lens by merely consulting his de-
sires and prejudices.
We already have indications that
the schools are ready to do what
they can to further that attempt.
A policy commission OF the Ma
tional Education Association In
recent and very substantial re-
port recommends that in the future,
history and social studies be made
the core In curriculum planning.
Important as science and mathema-
tics must always remain. the time
has come when special attention
must be given to the improvement
OF human relations.
This means to the teacher OF his
tory that its content and presepta-
ton must be re-examined. Much,
which is mere antiquarianism must
be discarded and other parts sucn
as the making Of our Constitution
and the founding of the new gov
eminent under 1t. must be greatly
and pointed. Memorial
ion OF isolated and unrelated events
must be ended and the absorption
OF human story will be the aim.
For facts to be committed" will
be substituted facts to be con-
nected into human story",-to be
experienced, even emotionalized.
