ORLD SALVATION

Better Defense Than Warplanes and Tanks, Maryland

University Head Tells

Teachers Convention;

Hull Inaugurated as President.

.Bducation is the world’s

greatest frontier of world sal-

vzlon today, compared to which’ war planes, tanks and marching men are but a skirmish for position, the Indiana

State Teachers Association vention meeting last night. The speaker was Dr. Harold Benjamin, of the University of - Maryland, one of three principal men to address the mass meeting in Cadle Tabernacle as part of the ceremony which inaugurated J. Fred Hull, Indianapolis, as as“sociation president.

Mr, Hull laid down the general thesis that education should teach men not what they should get, but what they should give, and Dr. Ed-gar-G. Doudna, Wisconsin, called for a return to discipline in educa-

_ tion. Frontier Defined

Dr. Benjamin defined a frontier as a line where the use of one set of resources ends and another. be‘gins. He said there are frontiers ‘of all kinds—farming, mining, frontiers of thought, and currently, a frontier of blood. But the greatest .of frontiers today, he said, is the frontier of education, “and men can forget that only at their peril.” Urging that we always strive for new frontiers in education, Dr. BenJamin stated that as long as “we have one’ hungry baby, or one person dead through neglect or ig- . norance, then our system of education is a failure.” A civilization is a failure, he said, when a country must import lumber from thousands of miles ‘away for .its homes, simply because it hasn't beén taught how to grow its lumber.

Wrong Emphasis, He Says

He criticized the American educational system for spending too much time on logic, metaphysics and Greek, and not enough in teaching the principles of distribution and sanitation to those who die because of orance of them. “As long as one baby can die of neglect; as long as one mother can die in child birth; then our system of education is of no avail and we have failed. “May God save the United States and the world through education, which is the greatest frontier, beside which the wars of bombing planes and tanks and .millions of marching men are but a skirmish for position.” Mr. Hull, in his inaugural address, declared that education today » alert - to the critical uncertainties of our times.

Democracy Built on Faith

“The fact is,” he said, “that there probably has been in the past year more serious thinking about the American way of life and American ideals among educators of the country than in any previous period of our country. “This 1s because itis realized that ‘education bears a direct relationship to the survival of the American way, and there is a determination to understand, to promote and - defend the principle upon which this relationship depends. “The procedures of a democracy

tare based upon a faith in people— a faith that if people are free and informed they will more frequently than not do what is best . for society. “It is .our hope that during this convention we may see more clearly the contribution which education! alone can make to national strength —the strength that is necessary for the defense and for the -achievement of human freedom.” Dr. Doudna, who is a member of the board of normal school regents in Wisconsin, said that although there has been a new fad each year since 1900 in the science of education, and some of the fads were ridiculous, yet the sum of them had undoubtedly improved teaching technique. “In the 41 years I have been attending conventions of teachers,” he said, “there has arisen each year a new crisis—one that seemed catastrophic. And yet of all of them, I can think of only two that really were crises—the first and present world wars.” He called for a return to discipline in education. “Not an enforced discipline,” he said, “but an internal, self-directed discipline, which tells the mind ‘You ‘must do this.” Following his inaugural address, Mr. Hull presented 16 former association presidents with awards. of appreciation for their service.

STRIKERS TOLD

Ship Welders at Seattle Lose Deferred Status In Draft.

By UNITED PRESS A long-standing “work or fight” dictum from National Selective Service headquarters began to operate today in a strike of almost 2000 welders which threatens $365,000,000 worth of defense shipbuilding in the Pacific Northwest.

Apparent peace was . restored again today at the Great Lakes Steel Products Co., Ecorse, Mich.,

{but increasingly serious develop-

ments marked that prolonged strike affecting aircraft parts production at Air Associates, Inc., Bendix, N. J.

Protests in Congress

In its third day, the welders’ strike, crippling work at five Seattle

and Tacoma, Wash, shipyards, loomed largest among existing defense disputes. At Seattle, the King County selective service board began to reclassify as 1-A, draft age welders among the 1300 on strike within its jurisdiction. The men formerly had been deferred because of employment essential to defense. The eight-day strike at Great Lakes Steel Products, fourth to curtail production of high tensile steel in as many cities, was terminated by a back-to-work vote last night by 2000 members of the C. I. O. Steel Workers Organizing Committee.

Bendix Dispute Flares

Work on five million dollars worth of accessories for military aircraft was hampered by a C. I. O. strike against Air Associates, Inc., at Bendix, N. J.© . F, Leroy Hill, company president, had declared the strike was ‘“Communist inspired” and charged the state authorities with “co-operating with the C: I. O. to keep the plant closed.” Governor Charles Edison sent Mr, Hill a telegram demanding that he “retire from the picture temporarily” and permit others to attempt a settlement. Edison|] said Mr. Hill had “shown a notable ineptness in handling labor.”

FEENEY AT 0DDS AGAIN WITH BLUE

Criticizes Prosecutor’s Aids After Raid on Resort at ‘Shannon’s Lake.

Another clash between Sheriff Al Feeney and the Prosecutor’s office

developed following a raid on a re-|

sort at Shannon's Lake, southwest of Indianapolis, last night. The raid was conducted by deputy prosecutors without notifying Sheriff Feeney and after one man and a 16-year-old girl were held, Deputy Prosecutor Saul L. Rabb called the Sheriff's office for a truck and officers to haul in prisoners and confiscated liquor. Sheriff Feeney refused to send a truck but sent two crews of officers in two cars after deputy prosecutors, he said, indicated there was a large number of prisoners. “While my two crews of officers were gone a traffic accident occurred in the county and I had to call on City police to make. the call,” Sheriff Feeney said. “State excise police who assisted in the raid could have brought in the two prisoners.” Also the Sheriff criticized deputy prosecutors for bringing in the 16year<old girl who Mr. Rabb said was ‘found living in a one-room cabin at the resort with her 21-year-old: brother. “Mr. Rabb apparently is not familiar with the juvenile laws of this county. I can’t hold a minor in jail over night,” the Sheriff said. Judge Wilfred Bradshaw of Juve-

Augusta, delegate.

nile Court, was notified and he

ordered the girl taken back to the *

cabin and brought into his court &

today for questioning.

Russell Earl __ Swain, 42, alleged,

proprietor of the raided resort, was arrested on a charge of violating: the liquor laws. Eleven cases of beer, two quarts of whisky and a slot machine were confiscated at the place.
