BONUS TROOPS PROTEST KEPT FROM HOOVER Secretary Refuses to Give President Statement of 41 U. S. Notables. BV RUTH FINNEY Tim*. Stuff Writ*r WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.—Lawre nee Richey, secretary to President Hoover, has refused to deliver to the President a protest against use of troops in evicting bonus marchers signed by forty-one notables, end left at the White House two weeks ago it was disclosed today. John Haynes Holmes, chairman of the American Civil Liberties Union, and one of the signers, revealed today that the day after the protest was submitted. Richey wrote him saying. "It <the protest letter) is such a tissue of misrepresentation of fact that I do not propose to present, it to the President." Dr. Holmes'answered, backing up the statements made in the first letter, and has received no reply. "In the absence of a further reply from Mr. Richey we assume there can be no answer to our letter taking exception to his arbitrary withholding of a protest addressed specifically to the President,” says Holmes.
Condemn Use of Troops “Evidently the administration has been driven to the point where it can only take refuge behind charges of misrepresentation without having a scrap of evidence to support its position or confound its critics.” The protest, left at the White Mouse, Aug. 12, was signed, among others, by pr. John Dewey, Rov W. Howard, James Weldon Johnson, Robert Morse Lovett, Albert S. Hard, Alice Stone Blackwell. Roger William Riis, Virginius Dabney, Mary Windsor. Dr. Sidney A. Weston. and Dr. Holmes. It condemned Hoover's use of troops as unwarranted and his attempt, to label the bonus marchers as Communists and criminals as “wholly inaccurate as to all but a handful” and “utterly unjust to hundreds of thousands of starving unemployed.” Deny Misrepresentation After receiving Richey's statement that the protest was “a tissue of misrepresentation,” Dr. Holmes wrote: "We have not the slightest intention of misrepresenting anything, particularly in a letter addressed to the President by sr> many wellknown- citizens. We based the statements in that letter on magazine and newspaper articles by reliable correspondents: on the newsreel photographs taken at the time; and on the testimony in the courts and before the coroner's jury in Washington. "In view of these sources of information, we arc at a loss to understand how the facts could he misrepresented. Wc genuinely would appreciate being corrected by you, if we are in error. We would be the first to acknowledge error and express our humble apologies if we have addressed a communication to the President unwarranted by the facts."

She won the Wembley exposition beauty contest in her native England. and promptly was installed in the transparent domicile for all exposition visitors to see—at a chilling per look. The glass room was soundproof and she couldn't hear the remarks some of the unsuccessful contestants made about her. but sh# learned a lot about lip reading in the four months her job lasted. Not all the remarks, however, were sulphur tinged. For instance, the Ranee of Sarawak, wife of the only white rajah, saw Miss Jordan and was charmed, as the saying goes. She asked Miriam to play a role in a party drama she had written, and thereby launced the girl's stage career. Charles Cochran saw her and gave her a real stage job. A1 Wopds saw her in Cochran's show and took her to Broadway. Charles Dillingham saw Woods' show and signed Miriam for several productions. Then along came “Cypara," wherein Miriam playeed a sup-

JUNIOR HIGH TO HELP STUDENTS FIND LIFE WORK Courses, Under New Plan, Will Show Practical Use of Learning. fThi* in the second of 8 serion of three stories on the new junior high school system, i Nine thousand Indianapolis school children will find themselves the objects of official interest when they return to their classes this fall. They are the pupils in the 7B and 8B grades who are to be the first to receive junior high school education in the city. Both administrative officers and teachers will be kept busy during the year, ascertaining the effect of the new courses, studying them for any possible changes. Directors of the junior highs expect the curriculum to be revised at the end of the coming school year. However, they believe that only details will be changed, and general outlines kept intact. * The junior high school course of study differs from the former regular seventh, eighth, and ninth grade curriculum in that it approaches the problem of education from another angle. Formerly, if a pupil had taken, for example, reading I to VI in his first six years, he would get reading VII and VIII in his netx two terms, receiving more of the same thing. Junior high school, on the other hand, aims at giving the pupil a practical application of his learning durng his first six years. Courses will be shown in their correlation to one another. For instance, geography, instead of merely being a study of the locations and sizes of the earth’s landmarks, will become a part of the work in the social studies. The effect of. say, the Appalach- I ian mountains on the early history j of the United States will be studied, j This effect will be viewed in its re- j lation to exploration, politics, I language, industry, commerce and art. All other courses of study will be built along similar lines. When pupils have finished two years of this sort of study in the

seventh and eighth grades, they will be ready for the ninth grade where they will be given vocational guidance. This period, formerly the first term in high school, will be spent trying to give each child an idea of what he wants to do when he is graduated. ‘One or our greatest problems with high school pupils has been that they have not known their aims in life,” said Milo H. Stuart, schools superintendent. "Asa re-

suit, they have wandered from one course of study to another during their four high school years. "We believe that the junior high schools will correct this. We believe pupils now will enter the tenth year, knowing what they want to do, and willing to take the hard courses with the easy ones in order to arrive at their objectives."
