Ohio State Teacher Tells) Results of Tests on Students.

‘ American high school pupils’ beliefs on major social issues, such as unemployment, free speech, “democracy and work relief, are astonishingly inconsistent, Dr. Paul E. Diederich of Ohio State University told members of the Progressive Education Association at an Indiana regional conference, at the Claypool Hotel today. Speaking on “Tests, Records and Reports for a New Education, ” Dr.

‘Diederich reviewed preliminary results of classroom tests in 30 public

sion for Evaluation in the EightYear Study. The speaker is a member of the commission. Dr. H. B. Alberty of Ohio State University, member of a commission on secondary school curriculum, discussed the efforts to establish a better co-ordination between schools and colleges and of im-

schools through experimental studies. Butler Sponsors Parley

The conference, sponsored by the Butler University College of Education, was attended by teachers, educational administrators, parents

and others interested in child education. The day's program was dividéd into 10 sessions. “The tests of attitudes have disclosed everywhere large gaps in children’s thinking,” Dr. Diederich told the educators. “It- was found in one western high school that 90 per cent of the junior class favored complete freedom of speech for everybody. “However, when the second part of the examination on beliefs was given the following day, 80 per cent opposed free speech for Earl Browder, former Communist candidate for the Presidency.

Ideas at Variance

“In one instance a large percentage of a class in another school agreed that workers do not earn enough to save the money mnecessary to support them through long periods of unemployment. The second half of the examination found a similar group agreeing that most of those who suffer from unemploy-

save.” Among exhibits at the conference was the work of 2500 Indiana boys and girls who do not attend school and are aided by the National Youth Administration.

VORHIES SAYS LINES OF TOWNSHIPS STAY

Dow W. Vorhies, County Commissioner president, today said he did not believe Courity Commissioners have the right arbitrarily ta abolish or change the boundaries of townships. Mr. Vorhies made his statement after Attorney General Omer Stokes Jackson yesterday ruled that Commissioners have legal authority to abolish townships effective Jan. 1, 1939. Mr. Vorhies said: ‘“Commissioners have no right to abolish townships unless one or both townships contain a part or all of a city having a population of 15,000 or more.’ The Commissioners’ authority is set out in an act of 1919, he said. Mr. Jackson made his ruling on a statute of 1859. -

RATECASEEND SEEN INMONTH

Power Firm Hearing Delays Held Unavoidable by Commission Head.

The five-year-old Indianapolis Power and Light Co. rate case- will be settled within 30 days, Perry McCart, Indiana Public Service Commission chairman, said today. He gave no indication as to what the Commission order would be, but he said he was “concerned” the case had taken so long. He said the delays were caused by a series of “unforeseen circumstances over which nobody had control.” “The Indiasapolis Power & Light Co. is one of the biggest operating utilities in the state,” he said, “and

a rate case involving it is a tre-

mendous task. “This is true under the best of circumstances and, with delays all along the line, it was more difficult and more drawn out than anybody anticipated. “Even under normal circumstances, approximately four years would have been required. The additional delay was unavoidable.” The case was started by Senator Minton when he was public counselor for the Commission. It was filed as a petition to require the company to show cause why Bs rates shouldn’t be Teduced.

¢

New and hitherto’ unpublished writings by the President

From the time before his first inauguration — when occurred his historic meetings with President Hoover .— until 1937, President Roosevelt writes of the outstanding events, activities and objectives of his Administration in a series of comments previously undisclosed.

They form notes to five forthcoming books by the President.

These comments, chosen for their widest and most timely interest, have been arranged as a series of newspaper articles for presentation daily.

They form a stoi and an explaiation of the New Deal written by the man who established it. They name the problems which the present Administration has faced, describe the steps it has taken to overcome them, and make clear principles determining those steps.

{The topics the President discusses embrace both national and inter ‘national affairs. They range from neutrality, world-peace, munitions embargoes, to farming, regional planning, conservation, to. currency, securities regulation and holding companies. They touch upon such dramatic events as The Hundred Days and the bank holiday, and upon a number of incidents revealing human sidelights of the nation’s chief executive and his office.
