13,000 INDIANA TEACHERS ARE ‘PUPILS’ TODAY
Hear Problems Discussed; Nye Will Speak at General Session.

educators of the office of Dean of Boys is growing and that it has been found to make for efficient student government.
Three Points Considered
The meeting today concerned itself with three points, he said, attendance and tardiness, discipline and guidance and personnel. The Deans of Women, meeting separately, discussed similar problems and likewise reported a grow-
ing acceptance of such offices in|
high schools.
Dr. Goodwin Watson, University psychologist,
Columbia | addressed |
the Kindergarten Group in the Mu- |
rat Theater. supervision of curricula “tends to destroy the initiative of the individual teacher and makes for uninteresting teaching,
“When the teacher must observe a rigid set of rules and regulations, the enjoyment is removed from teaching and the effectiveness is taken away from the teaching,” he declared. Reviews Case Study
Dr. Watson said he had taken case histories of 500 persons subjected to inflexible rules in their work and that without exception the peisons had lost initiative and had only a fraction of the efficiency of which they were capable.
Zola McKnight, Plainfield, presided over the classroom teachers group which was addressed by Dr. Walter F. Rexter, California Public School Superintendent. Dr. Dexter took his text from the writings of the German philosopher Emanuel Kant, based on two questions: How can society advance without stifling the individual? and, How can the individual succeed without fighting society?
Answers the Question
He answered the first by saying that no individual ever should be asked to perform a function that would be detrimental to him, and the second by the quotation, “So live that the law of your life might well be the law of all mankind.” Mrs. Walter Greenough, speaking
for the Indiana League of Women |
Voters, told the Indiana Academy of Social Sciences, meeting at the Claypool, that the League “long ago discovered that we need not better laws but better officials.” “The League ,actin gon that premise, has pushed adoption of Merit Systems in the .State, ,with some success,” she said. “Five states now have complete Merit Systems, and 20 others hava partial Merit Systems, such as Indiana’s,” she said.
Nye Speaks Tonight
The first general business session | in |
will be at 8 o'clock tonight Cadle Tabernacle. Senator and Mrs. Nye were expected to arrive this afternoon by plane from Wisconsin. Matters of policy as set out in resolutions are expected to promote lively debate, especially one ex-
He said that state]
pected to ask abolition of U. S. Army military instructors in public schools and universities. It is to be proposed also that the annual central meeting in Indianapolis be abandoned for a series of district meetnigs. Election of officers also is expected to bring debate. Robert Wyatt, Ft. Wayne, may set a precedent by asking for | a third term as president of the | State Federation of Public School Teachers.
Superintendents Meet
Yesterday, county and city schocl superintendents discussed further civorce of politics from school administration. It was suggested that the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction be made nonelective. Last night Mr. Dexter, told the Indiana Schoolman’s Association that the United States is in a third 50-year-period of social and cultural development, which taxes the school systems more than either of the previous periods. The first period, he said, was one of land rushing; the second one of individual enterprise during which everyone minded his own business. “We are now in the third period,” he said, “and the one which places (the greatest responsibility on educators. It is the period of develop[ing a social conscience in which there is more regard for the rights of the other fellow.
Leadership Is Problem
“One of the major problems education is facing is intelligent leadership mn answering the question of what is to be done with the new intellectual freedom which has been established. “To solve this problem, education must teach easy manners, which enable those educated to adapt themselves to all type of surroundings and conditions; it must teach morals, not in the broad sense in | which the term is used, but in the | more complicated process of follow- | ing the Ten Commandments to the letter.” Mr. McMurray yesterday urged consolidation of Indiana schools in an attack on “one-room” educational

systems before the County Superintendents’ Association in the Hotel Lincoln. / “The State should not put another dollar in substandard schools,” Mr. McMurray said. Although immediate consolidation is not expected, he said, transportation and electrification improvements have increased possibilities. Mr. McMurray added that several counties hire only four-year graduates for their teaching staffs, thus erasing the belief that county and city educational standards are different. There are about 1300 one-teacher schools in Indiana, and this type is being closed at the rate of 100 a year, he said. “The Department of Public Instruction hasn't the disposition to close them all at once,” he continued, “but it doesn’t want to see children isolated.” He added that the Department has made an appeal for Federal aid in establishing vocational training in 200 communities.

ference in Brussels on the Far East conflict, adding: “I think the conference offers the best hope of ending the conflict in the Far East.” The British steamship Stangrove, captured yesterday by the Spanish Rebels as it tried, to leave Gijon, was released today on demand of the British cruiser Southampton, which steamed to its aid, it was announced here. With nearly 600 refugees aboard, nearly all women and children, the steamship was challenged as it left Gijon by a Rebel armed trawler. The Southampton, racing to the scene, challenged the Rebel cruiser Almirante Cervera and demanded the Stangrove’s release on the ground that it was not in Spanish territorial waters when captured. The Almirante Cervera protested,

Tension relaxed after an Italian concession of yesterday—an agreement before a subcommittee of the Spanish Nonintervention Committee, to negotiate withdrawal of a “symbolic” force of foreign volunteers from Spain before discussing rights to the Rebels and Loyalists. As Parliament met today, British Government experts began working out the machinery for withdrawal of the “token” or “symbolic” force of Spanish war volunteers, as the [first move toward eventual complete withdrawal of foreigners from the war. Italy's agreement on the token withdrawal saved the nonintervention negotiations from collapse yes~ terday. The Nonintervention Committee is to meet again tomorrow afternoon. The exact hour has not been set. Parliament is to be recessed tomorrow until Tuesday, when King George VI for the first time in his 10-month reign will open a new session in state with a speech from the throne in the House of Lords.
Gijon, Vital Loyalist Port, Falls to Rebels
HENDAYS, FRANCO-SPANISH FRONTIER, Oct. 21 (U. P.).—The Rebel legions of Generalissimo Francisco Franco marched victoriously into Gijon today and hoisted the red and gold flag of the monarchy. The army leaders of the city, the last important Loyalist seaport in
Northwest Spain, were reported to | have voluntarily surrendered. The city, crowded with 130,000 | half-starved refugees and thousands | retreating Loyalist soldiers, |
not it surrendered.
Chinese Claim
(Copyright, 1937, by United Press) CHINESE FIELD HEADQU TERS, NORTH SHANSI PROVINCE, Oct. 21.—Chinese forces in Shansi Province have launched a huge scale counter-offensive program and have won smashing victories against the Japanese, it was apparent today. Chinese, Mongolian, Mohammedan, White Russian and Japanese troops are locked in the fiercest, bloodiest sort of fighting all over the long, irregular northwestern front.
TOKYO, Oct. 21 (U. P.).—Japan has received from Belgium an invitation to the Nine-Power Treaty conference on the Chinese-Japanese war, to be convened at Brussels Oct. 30, it was announced today. The Foreign Office, it was said, is studying the invitation and the prospective program for the conference. When the study has been completed, Japan will reply.
PARLEYS RESUMED IN MINE WAGE DISPUTE
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 21 (U. P.) —Subcommittees of the Indiana Coal Operators Association and the United Mine Workers of America, District No. 11, resumed negotiations today for a wage-hour contract under direction of an international Committee named by John I. Lewis, U. M. W. international president. Conferences between the three committees were recessed Oct. 9 by mutual agreement after several days of unsuccessful attempts to settle the long-darwn controversy over wages, hours and working conditions affecting apprximately 13,000 Indiana miners. The international committee, headed by John O'Learyl, Cleveland, was sent here by Mr. Lewis in order to avert a strike by the miners after Indiana Coail Operators Association officials and heads of the union failed to reach an agreement,

Peats Studies Mustache to Reach Conclusion.

where he met a little old lady. She recalled the picture instantly and led him to the Appellate Courtroom where, back of the bar, was a large canvas, a replica of an earlier Steele portrait. Donor Doesn't Remember A brass plate read: “Presented to the State of Indiana, Sam M. Ralston, Governor, by friends of James Whitcomb Riley, December 11, 1916. William Fortune, Chairman, Joseph E. Bell, Hugh McK. Landon, Richard Lieber, Meredith Nicholson, L. C. Huesmann and H. H. Howland.” Now it so happened that at the outset of his search Mr. Peat had asked Mr. Landon for information about Riley pictures and Mr, Landon had not been much help. Later Mr. Landon said he had forgotten all about the picture and presentation. Mr. Peat said that he did find out that Mr. Riley thoroughly enjoyed sitting for portraits. Marie Goth, Brown County artist who did one of the many oils of the poet, said she recalled he told her that “in my present health, I'm not able to do much more than sit and I've had a great many artists work on me.” Annoyed by Calipers Incidentally, Miss Goth had a hard time recalling where her portrait of Riley was, and it was only the other day that she unearthed it. Mr. Peat is going to collect all information on Riley art into a catalog, which he will bind and present to the Public Library, he said. He learned that Riley, though partial to painters, was pretty uppity with sculptors. He didn’t like the steel calipers the sculptors always were putting on his face for measurements. They annoyed him, and made him irritable. Figuratively ,the calipers were too cold for the poet to handle, Mr. Peat found out.

make other such talks, according to reports. Next week, before a state Republican meeting at Boston, Mr. Hoover will have his say in an address which likewise will be broadcast. He is expected to discuss the projected party convention,
Bone of Contention
This is the current bone of contention between the two Republican leaders, who have never disclosed any affinity for each other. Mr. Hoover was’ very displeased when Mr. Landon, then seeking the Republican nomination, entered the California preferential primary. Nor was it a happy moment for the Landonites at the Cleveland convention last year when Mr. Hoover appeared before the delegates and started a personal demonstration— which, however, got no further than that.
With growing jealousy, the Landon camp has watched Mr. Hoover push closer to the front of the Republican picture with his project for the party convention. Although the suggestion was rather coolly received at first, it has won so many converts that it seems to have a
| | |
good chance of approval by the Re- | publican National Committee next |
month at Chicago.
Also discomforting to the Landonites is an apparent tie-up between Mr. Hoover and National Chairman John Hamilton, who was put into the chairmanship originally by Mr. Landon. The national chairman is supporting the convention idea, and it is understood that Mr. Hoover will stand by him if an attempt is made to oust him at the Chicago meeting. Mr. Landon did not mention the proposed party convention plan in his radio address. His forces are known to be cool toward it. But the fact that he did not oppose it suggests a recognition of its strength. While a major objection has been
that such a meeting would only | serve to reveal to the public the | ;eeper, was alone in the Cappelli friction within the Republican Par- |
ty, others have raised a more practical question. If a party platform or declaration of principles is adopted, they say, this might embarrass Republican congressional candidates who have to run in districts where a soft-pedal is necessary on some New Deal measures.

honestly believe these directors and producers out here in Hollywood are the finest and most Kkindhearted bunch of men I have ever seen. When I use’'ta go to ‘em’ tryin’ to get a certain part in a picture, I never did get the part but I always left feelin’ a little bit better than when I went. They usually turned me down by tellin’ me I was too tall and handsome for

in to get a part in a picture, she always comes out of their office beaming because she either has got-

the part. I believe Snazzy would make a good moving picture executive because he can always think of a good excuse. I remember one time a neighbor came over and wanted to borrow Grandpaw Snazzy’s new rope and Grandpaw Snazzy says “No, I've got to use that rope today to tie up some sand.” After the neighbor left, I says “Grandpaw Snazzy, you know you can't tie sand with a rope!” Grandpaw Snazzy says "‘Remember, my boy, you can pret’ near do anything with a piece of rope if you don’t want'ta lend it.” (Copyright, 1937)

Norton was asked: “Is this man whom you call Lae verne Moore in this courtroom?” “Yes.” “Will you point him out, please?” Norton pointed to Montague. “There he is,” he said, ‘sitting at the table.” Norton, cousin of Mrs. Hana, [rocked back and forth in the wit= | ness chair while he told how he, Montague, William Carleton and John Sherry, drove to the Hana roadhouse. The witness said they entered the roadhouse and held up | Hana, “Matt Cobb (Mrs. Hana's father) [ran out of the restaurant and down toward the. river banks,” Norton said. Moore went after him. “I went out there.

Cobb contends he was beaten so severely that night that his hearing was impaired. Norton told how he and Montague got into an automobile and drove away from the roadhouse. “A car started to pass us,” the witness said, “and Moore handed me a gun and said, ‘Let 'em have it.’ ” “Did you let ’em have it?” “No, the car went on by and I threw the gun out of the window of our car.” Later that night, Norton said, he and Moore were stopped by State Troopers. “They asked to see the driving permit,” he said. “Moore gave them
