FRIENDS TO LAUNCH DRIVE FOR HUNGRY
RUSSIAN CHILDREN!
An extraordinary emergency campaign for $5,000,000 for the immediate euccor of millions of infants and children in the vast famine-swept area ot the Russian Voljca district is to b launched at once throughout the Unit
ed States by.tne American Friends j service committee, it was announced today. 1 Acting independently In a country with which they are intimately familiar through the distribution of nom what under $1,000,000 of relief during the past thirteen months, the American Friends will atonce set in motion h tremendous augmentation of relief shipments to the stricken territory where betwen 10,000,000 and 15.000.0CO children are threatened by the famine. Ready to Go Ahead. Their organization already highly perfected through over a year of in ensive child feeding and general relief in Russia, and supported by strong backing in the United States and ?mong humanitarian Americans, the Friends committee has determined to carry ahead its campaign, co-operatin? with the A. R. A. and other American relief bodies to the extent of avoiding duplication of relief distribution. Dr. Wilbur K. Thomas, executive secre
tary of the Philadelphia headquarters
stated.
The independent Friends campaign will be characterized by the most rigi'l nniifv on non-interference in political
or trade affairs, and will sharply do-

saving child life regardless of toe po litical or commercial relationships in
volvcd in the Russian question. "There Is a vast field for all of our American relief," Dr. Thomas declared. '"The Hoover organization which is now preparing to enter the Russian field for the first time has Pledged itself to the relief of 1,000.000 Russian children. Even though this number i3 greatly increased under the Hide support thbt will be commanded by the Hoover organization and its tremendous record of achievements through other parts of Europe, there will still be millions of Russian children in the Volga district that must

Hawker in Daring Flight Harry G. Hawker, a British aviator, and Lieutenant Commander Mackenzie Grieve of the British navy, in a heavier-than-air machine, started from St. Johns, N. F., on May 18, 1919, on a non-stop flight to Ireland. The at
tempt was generally regarded as th
most daring of them all up to that time. Hawker and Grieve, after many hours of peril in the air and straggling against stormy conditions, were rescued in mid-ocean by the Danish
steamship Mary on May 19. Hawker was killed on July 12. 1921, when the gasoline tank on his machine explod

All these modern efforts to conquer
the Atlantic aloft, as well as below,
stand out in striking contrast to the
slow progress made in ocean navigation during the preceding 427 years.
The era of sails had continued with
out particular improvement from the
days of Columbus until 1819, when the
Savannah, a vessel of S50 tons, with a length of 100 feet, crossed from. Savan
nah, Ua., to Liverpool m 25 days.
Her engines, however, were purely
auxiliary; she was equipped with full sail power and when the wind was fair or the sea too rough for steaming, the paddle wheels were unrigged and hauled to the deck.
Steam Vessels in '28. The first real trans-Atlantic voyages
by steam power were undertaken by the steamships Sirius and Great West
ern. The Sirius left England on April
4, 1838, and was followed, four days
later, by the Great Western. They
arrived in New York harbor within 24
hours of each other, the Sirius com
pleting the trip in 18 days and the Great Western in 14. The century that followed the voyage of the Savannah, however, produced ocean liners as broad as the little pioneer was long. The Leviath
an, for instance, one of the largest of modern steamships, is 920 feet long.
100 feet broad and has a registered tonnage of 54,282. The ZR-2 on the occasion of its proposed flight, was not to establish any new records. The $2,000,000 United States naval observation dirigible merely was to be brought from the hangar of its former owners, the British government, to its $2,000,000 aerodrome at Lakehurst, New Jersey.
automobiles and musical instruments. This is causing the closing of these industries. An acre ot corn and an acre of wheat will not buy now what they did before the war.
Why They Are Stuck. I tell them when they ask what's
the matter, that they bought farms at
$300 and $400 per acre with the idea
that they could get $2 a bushel for corn and $2.50 a bushel for wheat, but
that with the decline, in pnees they
are' left stuck.
'Men by the hundreds refused to
work on farms for wages. They wanted a share in the farm. They then
bought high priced machinery and are now not able to pay out." Prof. Christie acknowledged the problems of the farmers and paid tribute to their industry, but bewailed the "big profit" idea. He admonished teachers who go into the rural dis
tricts to work, to do so with the idea
of helping humanity and not for the wages to be received.
If you are not willing to work 10, 12 and 16 hours a day you will not have the students come to you some day and tell you that you were the one that gave them the big start In life. The man or woman who works only eight hours a day will never gather much of the fruit of labor." Asks for Education Prof. Ellis U. Graff, superintendent
of the Indianapolis public schools, pre
cation we shall succeed by complete co-operation of all factors which enter into educational work. Co-ordination Necessary "The salvation of American education depends on unity of purpose and the co-ordination of everybody working on the job. We must realize that the common end demands that we work together with a common will and purpose. I have had teachers come to me and say they wished twice the credit
value placed on Latin, because theyi
felt it was more important than other ( studies. That attitude becomes dan-; gerous when it reaches the point! where a teacher Eets up a private I monarchy." President Christie's afternoon ad-! dress was based upen a statement by I a former president of Harvard: "One goes to school not so much! to gain knowledge as to gain power; j
uui du uiucu 10 jtrarn 10 show luiugb, as to learn to do things." j "One of the criticisms of ouri schools is that too many times students are called upon for memory t work and recitation; given credits:
and certificates, and then it is claimed that they have an education. Should Learn to Do "Now, when a boy or girl goes into
the world, he or she is asked to do!
things. It would only seem fair, then
refuses to make contact with this knowledge and attempts to take the student into an entirely different field, then the child loses interest and fails to get the object of school work." Prof. Christie's address was a ple3 for connection between the life the student knows with the studies he is taught. Without this, he believes, the farm child will lose sight of his farm
knowledge and will leave for the la dustrial life of the city. "

ceded Prof. Christie with a plea toito ask the school to spend a part of
the teachers to work for the whole
education of the student, and not limit themselves too largely by specialization in some particular branch of teaching. "When ever you restrict yourselves to one task there is a tendency to a lack of system for other workers. In education we must not so lose sight of our ultimate aim that if we teach our arithmetic correctly we don't care whether the child is getting his grammar or his geography.
"The education of an individual is one job. We must recognize the fact that if one branch is defective the
whole organism is affected. In edu-

In rural schools the problem should be to connect up the work of the school with that which the student already knows. A farm boy or girl spends the first six years of life learning about chickens, calves, colts, pigs, and corn. Now, if the school

Russian situation: and the words of Kork Thursday evening under the diPremier Lloyd George to the British I reelion of Leslie Hart, of Richmond. House of Commons that the world;
Is faced today with 'an unprecedented catastrophe that must appeal' only to our sense of human pity." I "Great bodies of peasants are on the !
move in the famine district, searching without direction or destination for food. This condition, adding destitution and homelessness to famine, is greatly increasing the difficulties under which relief must be carried on. Every day that relief on a vast scale is delayed, the problem will become more difficult to handle and the toll of human lives will mount to still further losses." Will Help Generally While infants and children will be
given preference in feeding, the Friends committee will adopt a policy of supplying food wherever it can relieve the pangs of famine. "While the hunger of children is perhaps the most difficult thing for the world to face and the first consideration in famine relief, the Friends believe that American sympathy and the American conscience will not desire to stop short where human beings of any age are perishing in the desperate death that hunger brings," Dr. Thomas said. "The Friends therefnre. will not refuse food to starving adults in the famine areas." The forthcoming nation-wide effort
by the Friends committee will be di-' reeled from the Philadelphia head-1 quarters. The utmost expedition will j be observed by the committee to rush ' consequent relief to the affected area. I "No red tape will be allowed to j stand In the way of the most imme-l Uiate distribution of all aid that is j rendered by the American people in : this crisis." Dr. Thomas said.

live in any other country as they do in America? In other countries they are called peasants. Nowhere in the world is as much produced on the farm, per man, as in America. It is because the American farmer has worked. Now those who have been producing are asked to take less for their produce. With them having to live off of just what they raise, their mortgages for high priced machinery and automobiles are lying in the hands of the banks. It is what is causing all of the sheriff's sales.

King's Illness is Worry to Jago Slav Cabinet (By Associated Tress) PARIS, Aug. 21 Complications which have arisen in Jugo-Slavia because of tae illness of King Alexander ami the consequent delay in his assumption of the throne have been met by the Jugo Slav cabinet, declares a 3elgrade despat'-h to the East Europe News Agency here. The cabinet has decided that the iaterval of eight days between the proclamation cf a new king and his taking the oath of office, provided for by the constitution will begin on the day Alexander is announced to have recovered from the illness which keeps him in his apartments in Neuilly. The question of selecting the heir to the throne of Jugo-Slavia, whose name must be announced immediately after the coronation has also been considered by the cabinet, it is said. Sentiment is reported to be divided between Alexander's cousin, Prince Paul Ezra-Ceorgevitch and one cf the children of the new king's sister, Helene, widow of Grand Duke John Constantinovitch of Russia, who was slain, at Perm by the Bolshevik!
