SUGGEST YOUTH BE TRAINED TO FACE NEW DEAL Social Study Educators Say Success Depends on Such Teaching. By United Press NEW YORK. May 14.—Educational training to adjust, children to "the new social order of collectivism” in the United States was urged today in the second installment of the report released by the social studies commission after a five-year survey. The report warned that successj of the new order, a system sharply I different from the individualistic era, hinged upon proper education of youth for the transition. ■Bureaucratic tyranny” and downfall of liberty and democracy may occur if youth are trained in the economics of the old era, the report declared. ‘‘The supreme purpose of education,” the report said, ‘‘is the preparation of the rising generation to enter the society now coming into being through thought, ideal and knowledge rather than through coercion, regimentation and ignorance and to shape and form that society with American ideals of democracy and personal liberty and dignity.” Changed Conditions Noted The report took note of the shifting economic picture in these words: ‘ The merging economy will involve the placing of restraints upon individual enterprise, propensities and acquisitive egoism in agriculture, industry and labor, and generally on the conception, ownership, management and use of property, as the changing policies of government .already indicate.” In view' of this, the report continued: "The efficient functioning of the emergency economy and the full utilization of its potentialities require profound changes in the attitudes and outjook of the American people, especially the rising generation—a complete and frank recognition that the old order is passing, that the new order is emerging. . . . Rational use of the new leisure requires a cultural equipment which w'ill give strength and harmony to society instead of weakness and discord. Continued emphasis in education of the traditional ideas and values of economic individualism and acquisitiveness will intensify the conflicts and maladjustments and perils of the transition.” New Orders Ideals Listed As the ideals of the new' order the report set up the following: ‘‘The recognition of the moral equality of all men; abolition of class distinctions and special privileges; the extension to every individual the opportunity of development of his creative capacities, his spiritual quality and his individuality; the encouragement of his social inquiry inventiveness and tolerance; protection of all liberties essential to defense against brute power; development of resistance to racial and religious passions and prejudices.” Today’s report will be followed by others each day this week. CLEVELAND GAS STRIKE ENTERS SECOND WEEK Cars Stall on Streets: Officials Confer in Washington. By Times Special CLEVELAND. 0.. May 14.—Automobiles stalled for want of gasoline on downtown streets here today as the absolute shut-down of all city and county filling stations entered its second week.

The*Romantic and Beautiful — LOVE LETTERS OF DICKENS Two Amazing Interludes in a Great Artist's Life — BY H. H. HARPER -
WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE History records no more ardent, (lam* oroua courtship than that of Charles Dirkens. brilliant, but poverty-stricken London youth, and the beautiful Maria Readnell, daughter of a banker. After three glowing years, Maria discards Dickens. Impulsively he marries Catherine Hogarth, dooming himself to many years of unhappiness. Twenty year* after Maria again enter* hi* life and o begin* the astounding “Second Interlude" in the dramatic life of Charle* Dickena. Receiving Maria's letter. Dickens responded ardently and made a point of providing Maria with a reason to write again. She did. At this time Dickens was forty-four and the father of nine children. Maria had carried a staid, commonplace man named Winters and was the mother of two children. Now comes the greatest love letter ever written. CAN any one doubt that the following is one of the greatest love letters of all time! It was sent to some secret address she had given him, where he could write freely, for it will be noticed, that he says, ‘‘ln the course of Saturday I will write to you at Artillery place, sending the little brooches”—the commission she had given him to execute in Paris. Two days later he did write to her at her home, Artillery place, but this letter did not go there. The greatest love letter ever written Tavistock House, Thursday, Twenty-second February, 1855. My dear Maria: The old writing is so plain to me, that I have read your letter with great ease (though it is just a little crossed), and have not lost a word of it. I was obliged to leave Paris on Tuesday morning before the Post came in; but I took such precautions to prevent the possibility of any mischance, that the letter came close behind me. I arrived at home last night and it followed me this morning. No one but myself has the slightest knowledge of my correspondence. I may add, in this place. I could be nowhere addressed with stricter privacy or in more absolute confidence than at my own house. Ah! Though it is so late to read in the old hand- what I never read before, I have read it with great emotion, and with the old tenderness softened to a more sorrowful remembrance than I could easily tell you. How it all happened as it did, we shall never know on this side of Time; but if you had ever told me then what you tell me now, I know myself well enough to be thoroughly assured that the simple truth and energy which were in my love would have overcome everything. I remember well that long after I came of age—l say long: well—it seemed long then —I wrote to you for the last time of all, with a dawn upon me of some sensible idea that we were changing into man and woman, saying would you forget our little differences and separations and let us begin again? You answered me very coldly and reproachfully and so I went my way. But nobody can ever know with what a sad heart I resigned you, or after what struggles “and. what ia conflict. My entire devotion to you, and the wasted tenderness of those hard years which I have ever since half loved, half dreaded to recall, made so deep an impression on me that I refer to it a habit of suppression which now belongs to me, which I know is no part of my original nature, but which makes me chary of showing my affections, even to my children, except when they are very young. A few years ago (just before Copperfield) I began to write my life, intending the manuscript to be found among my papers when its subject should be concluded. But as I began to approach within sight of that part of it, I lost courage and burned the rest. I have never blamed you at all, but I have believed until now that you never had the stake in that serious game which I had. All this mist passes away upon your earnest words; and when I find myself to have been in your mind at that thoughtful crisis in your life which you so unaffectedly and feelingly describe, I am quite subdued and strangely enlightened. When poor Fanny died (I think she always knew that I could never bear to hear of you as of any common person) we were out of town, and I never heard of your having been in Devonshire Terrace —least of all in my room! I never heard of you in association with that time until I read your letter today. I could not, however, really could not at any time within these nineteen years, have been so unmindful of my old truth, and have so set my old passion aside, as to talk to you like a person in any ordinary relation toward me. And this I think is the main reason on my side why the few opportunities that there have been of our seeing one another again have died out. ana ALL this again you have changed and set right—at once so courageously, so delicately and gently, that you open the way to a confidence between us which still once more, in perfect in-nocence-and good faith, may be between ourselves alone. All that you propose. I accept with my whole heart. Whom can you ever trust if it be not yo’T old lover! Lady Oliffe asked me in Paris the other day (we are. in our way, confidential you must know)
_
Maria Beadnell, Time of Second Interlude
whether it was really true that I used to love Maria Beadnell so very much? I told her that there was no woman in the world, and there were very few men, who could ever imagine how much. You are always the same in my remembrance. When you say you are “toothless, fat, old and ugly” (which I don’t believe), I fly away to the house in Lombard Street, which is pulled down, as if it were necessary that the very bricks and mortar should go the way of my airy castles, and see you in a sort of raspberry colored dress with a little black trimming at the top—black velvet it seems to me made of—cut into Vandykes—an immense number of Vandykes—with my boyish heart pinned like a captured butterfly on every one of them. I have never seen a girl play the harp, from that day to this, but any attention has been instantly arrested, and that drawing room has stood before me so plainly that I could write a most accurate description of it. I remember that there used to be a tendency in your eye-brows to join together; and sometimes in the most unlikely places—in Scotland, America, Italy—on the stateliest occasions and the most unceremonious—when I have been talking to a strange face and have observed even such a slight association as this in it, I have suddenly been carried away at the rate of a thousand miles a second, and have thought “Maria Beadnell!” When we were falling off from each other, I came from the house of commons many a night at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, only to wander past the place you were asleep in. And I have gone over that ground within these twelve months, hoping it was not ungrateful to consider whether any reputation the world can bestow is repayment to a man for the loss of such a vision of his youth as mine. You ask me to treasure what you tell me, in my heart of hearts. Oh, see what I have treasured there, through all this time and all these changes! In the course of Saturday I will write to you at Artillery Place, sending the little brooches and telling you when Catherine will come—not forgetting the little niece, though I don’t expect her to remind me of somebody or anybody. And now to what I have reserved for the last. a a a I AM a dangerous man to be seen with, for so many people know me- At St. Paul’s the Dean and the whole Chapter know me. In Paternoster Row of all places, the very tiles and chimney-pots know me. At first, I am a little hesitated whether or no to advise you to forego that interview or suggest another —principally because what would be very natural and probable a fortnight hence, seems scarcely so probable now. Still I should very much like to see you before we meet when others are by—l feel it. as it were, so necessary to our being at ease—and unless I hear from you to the contrary, you may expect to encounter a stranger whom you may suspect to be the right person if he wears a mustache. You would not like better to call here on Sunday, asking first for Catherine and then for me? It is almost a positive certainty that there will be no one here but I, between 3 and 4. I make this suggestion, knowing what odd coincidences take place in streets when they are not wanted to happen; thoug.i I know them to be so unlikely, that I should not think of such a thing if any one but you were concerned. If you think you would not like to come here, make no change, I will come there. I can not trust myself to begin afresh, or I should have my re-

membrances of our separation, and think yours hard to me. I remember poor Anne writing to me once (in answer to some burst of low-spirited madness of mine) and saying, “My dear Charles, I really can. not understand Maria, or venture to take the responsibility of saying what the state of her affection is”—and she added, I recollect, God bless her, a long quotation about patience and time. Well, well! It was not to be until patience and time should bring us ’round together thus. Remember, I accept all with my whole soul, and reciprocate all. Ever your affectionate friend, CHARLES DICKENS. In tomorrow’s great episode we read “the camouflage letter” Dickens wrote Maria and sent it, not to their secret address, but to her home. It was so phrased that any one could read it. (Copyright, 1934, John F. Dille Cos.).
