I'JILSOfJ MUS OM PLftlJ TO CHECK COTTON ECDARGO OF ENGLAUI

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 The administration hopes to solve the cotton situation so that it will not prove a rock on which its legislative program will go to pieces when congress meets. It was learned today that the real reason for the president's return from Cornish last week was the pressure that was being brought by southern financial interests for action to safeguard the cotton growers and manufacturers before this year's crop was available for marketing. And the president, .realizing that unless something were done that would afford real relief much of the support he was depending on from bis own party members would be withheld, has been trying to arrange a comprehensive program ever since be got back.

Today, on the eve of an order by the allies transferring cotton to the contraband list, . a tentative program has been completed which, the administration believes will prove effective. So far as arranged it provides: " First That the federal ; reserve board, through Us members and affiliated banks,, lend money on approved notes safeguarded by actual cotton deposits to an extent of 50 per cent of this year's crop if that amount; Is needed. --;-t Second Arrange through the allied powers that cotton shipments to the territory controlled by them be expedited and that a quantity, .the amount to be determined upon later, be per mitted to . pass through to neutral countries without being diverted Into British ports by warships.

VOCATIONAL IDEAS ESSENTIAL TO TEACH

SACRAMENTO, CaJ., Aug. 18. Gladys Smith, librarian of the Lincoln high school, Portland, Ore., spoke on "Vocational Guidance in the High School Library," before the National Educational Association today. She said in part: "We, the high school teachers and librarians of today, are moulding the men and women of tomorrow, and while it is our duty to instruct them so that they will develop Into all'round men and women, it is likewise our duty to lead each one into the path, where his particular abilities

can best be brought into play. We are

realizing more and more each year,

that the man or woman who will be the greatest benefit to mankind Is the one who is doing successfully and

happily his chosen life work.

"Naturally no man or woman can be as successful and happy in a work for which he is not adapted as in the

work for which he has special inclina tion and desires. Thus it is the pleas ant duty of the high school instruc

tors to help each student to find that particular path which will lead most

successfully and happily to a worth while life.

"This can only be done through a

very careful personal study of the in

dividual student. We must know his likes and dislikes, his strong points

and failings, his desires and misglv

ings, and above all we must gain his

confidence and respect, for never can we really know the student until he

has opened his heart to us, as friend

to friend.

"To my mind, there is no one in the school better able to reach the stu

dents in just this way than the librarian. During the four years the boys

and girls are constantly leaving old teachers, onl to go on to new ones, and while many of these teachers leave lasting Impressions and lifelong influences, yet it is the librarian who greets these students as freshman

and says goodbye to them as graduates. It is she who sees them develop term by term from little, boys and girls into young men .and women. Would she not be losing a golden opportunity to instill in them the ideals of noble manhood and womanhood?"
