T H E MICHI GAN DAILY FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1934 we Dean To Attend Discussion On Youth Problem Edmonson Will Join In Two Day Conference At Washington Dean J. BI Edmonson of the School of Education left yesterday for Wash- ington, D. C. to attend a meeting called by George F. Zook, United States Commissioner of Education, to discuss various pertinent youth problems. Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of In- terior, will give the opening address at this conference, which will take place today and tomorrow, and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt will give the final talk. Invitations have been sent to 30 people, 20 of whom are connected with government agencies, and ten with industry, social welfare organization, and educational fields. Dean Edmonson is acting in the capacity of chairman of the round- table conference on leisure activities, and as a member of the committee to prepare reports of recommenda- tions for attacking the problem of youth unemployment. Dean Edmonson stated in an in- terview, just before leaving yester- day, "The problem of unemployed youth has been created by a variety of conditions, including the increase in the minimum age for employment, the decrease in many family incomes, the curtailment of school programs and recreational facilities, and the absorption of the attention of adults in their own problems created by the depression." Dean Edmonson emphasized that "the problem is nationwide." He added, "It concerns the rural areas fully as much as the large centers of population because the recent flow of population from the city to- ward the country has created new types of problems of unemployment of youth in the rural sections. In many rural sections there are two groups of young people to be con- sidered:bfirst, those who have lost their jobs in the city and have re- turned to the country; and, second, those who normally would have found employment in the city but on ac- count of the lack of employment have remained in the rural districts." He declared that the problem in- volves girls almost as much as boys, nand that it has national, state, and local aspects, although "more em- phasis should be placed on the re- sponsibility of the community for looking after its own young people." He concluded, in saying, "It would seem desirable to emphasize the point that the problem cannot be solved by the mere appropriation of funds, but calls rather for leadership, planning, coordination of effort, and real concern for the welfare of young people." Editor Names New Staff Of The Forester Holcomb Picks Worrell, Brown As Heads Of 1935 Yearbook Appointments for the editorial staff of the "Michigan Forester" for the year 1935 were announced today by Carl Holcomb, editor-in-chief of this year's annual. Albert C. Worrell, '35F&C, was named as the new editor-in-chief of the yearbook, and Earle Brown, '35F&C, was selected to be the Busi- ness Manager for the coming year by a board composed of the editors of the present "Michigan Forester." The Alumni Editor, who has in the past been chosen at this time, will be selected from competition next year when work on the book begins. Other minor positions will also be named at the beginning of next semester. Worrell, who is a transfer from the Pennsylvania State School of For- estry, was associate editor of this year's annual, which is on sale to- day. CONTINUE SOLAR FILMING The continuation of filming solar activity at the McMath-Hulbert Ob- servgtory will again take place this year, Dr. R. W. Petrie of the astron- omy department announced yester- day. In the taking of these educational pictures, it was explained, the as- tronomers are expecting somewhat more solar activity than usual.

Few Students Enter College; Hih Schools Must Chan e-Carrothers High schools throughout the State must alter their curriculum to meet the needs of those students who do not intend to go on to college after graduation, in the opinion of Prof. George E. Carrothers, Director of the Bureau of Co-Operation with Edu- cational Institutions. "Most high schools in Michigan place too much stress on a classical program designed principally for the student who plans to enter an institution of higher Deficit May Be Under Amount First Expected Treasury Hopes To Go Under Loss Estimated By Roosevelt WASHINGTON, May 31. - () -A month from today the treasury ends a year of peace-time's greatest spend- ing- but with a deficit probably lit- tle more than half the $7,309,068,211 President Roosevelt estimated. The rate of June emergency spend- ing, probably to be accelerated, will tell the final story of the first full 12-month fiscal period of the Roose- velt administration. From the present outlook, however, when the 1935 fiscal year begins July 1, the year just passed will show a deficit around the $4,000,000,000 level. Elimination of the $488,000,000 sinking fund item would bring this down to around half the President's budget figure. Deficit Jump Unlikely June spending would have to jump tremendously to push the year-end deficit any higher, for during the month nearly $200,000,000 will be paid in as second quarter install- ments on 1933 incomes. Treasury financing plans are close- ly guarded. But in some quarters the expectation was for a sizeable bond issue in line with the recent treasury trend toward long-term borrowing. Mr. Roosevelt estimated a year-end public debt of $29,847,000,000. The present figure is $26,160,000,000, or less than the $26,596,701,000 when the war debt was at its peak on Aug- ust 31, 1919. Drop Causes Shown Major factors in the drop of ex- penditures below budget estimates are the Reconstruction corporation and Public Works Administration. The budget allowed $3,969,000,000 for the RFC. Its net outlays to date are only at the $1,500,000,000 mark and Chairman Jesse Jones believes that on June 30 they will be from $1,500,- 000,000 to $2,000,000,000 below the budget figure. The budget allowed $1,677,190,000 for the Public Works Administration. Including the $400,000,000 for the civil works administration, PWA out- lays for 11 months are just under $1,000,000,000. While 1934 spending is running far behind expectations, the adminis- tration has not altered its forecast that by the end of 1935 the public debt will advance to a record peak of $31,834,000,000. The position held is that money not spent in the cur- rent period will be spent in the new fiscal year. learning after graduation, but figures show that only one out of five high school graduates enter college," he said. Figures released recently by the Bureau of Co-Operation with Educa- tional Institutions substantiate Pro- fessor Carrothers' belief. A survey of 595 high schools in Michigan showed that a total of 35,273 students gradu- ated in June, 1933, and only 5,562 students, or 15.6 per cent entered col- lege. An additional number of high school graduates of former years who entered college in the fall of 1933 for the first time brought the grand to- tal of Michigan high school gradu- ate§ who enrolled in college in 1933 for.the first time to 7,152, or 19.8 per cent: "The fact that only one out of five graduates continues his education re- futes the popular theory that high schools should only give attention to preparing individuals for college," said Professor Carrothers. "Condi- tions in high schools have changed considerably in the past few years. Formerly, only one tenth, a very se- lect group of the eligible persons, at- tended high schools. Today, how- ever, 50 per centeof the individuals of school age attend the secondary schools. High schools in Michigan must consider this change in the type of persons who attend high schools and must change their curriculums to meet the demands of the varied types of individuals who now attend high schools," Professor. Carrothers stated. "High schools must begin to en- large their manual arts and home economics departments and pay more attention to dramatics, physical edu- cation, fine arts, and other activities which tend to enrich the life of the individual after graduation." It is Professor Carrothers' opinion that the schools must offer students who do not plan to attend college a chance to major in practical subjects which will prepare them for life after grad- uation from high school. Dr. Robert Brown Talks At Reception Dr. Robert E. Brown, '18M, spoke at a reception in his honor yesterday afternoon at Lane Hall. Dr. Brown has headed a large hospital in Wuhu, China, for several years and has worked with the nationalistic gov- Lrnment on flood control, public health, and relief work for some time. Dr. Brown is in the city to visit his sons, Willis, '34M, and Harold, '34L. Dr. Brown became internationally known when he enlisted the aid of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh in carry- ing medicine and supplies to the refu- gees in the flood areas along the Yel- low River in China in 1928. Activities For SC A Enlarged For Next Year Departmental Cabinet To Replace Old Governing Board (Continued from Page 1 )utdoor Club will be absorbed into he Student Christian Association; he Freshman Handbook will be re- used and distributed to all freshmen; rnd the Sunday morning Round rable discussions will be continued n a revised basis. Plans are being made to bring prominent speakers to the campus inder the sponsorship of the associa- Aon for next year. The organization will work with Prof. J. Raleigh Nel- ;on, counsellor to foreign students, in promoting work among the foreign students on the campus. William Warner, '35, will be in charge of extension work in the organiza- tion. A revised plan is being formu- lated toncarry onthis work. Under this plan, form cards will be sent to organizations throughout the stateon which requests may be made for stu- dent speakers on a variety of sub- jeets. The association will obtain these speakers upon request. A martial relations service will also be maintained next year. A new system will be established by which definite membership in the Association can be made. Sociologi- cal trips to Detroit and Chicago will be promoted next spring and inter- guild work among Ann Arbor's churches will be carried on. An attempt will be made by the Association, in cooperation with the student pastors in the city, to cor- relate religious activities on the cam- pus. The clergymen have been in- vited to establish offices in Lane Hall If the present plans materialize, the student pastors will form a staff, headed by Dr. E. W. Blakeman, re- ligious counsellor of the University, to lead religious activities. Two freshmen Rendezvous camps will be promoted preceding Orienta- tion Week, one for women and one or men. About 80 women are ex- pected to attend the women's camp which will be lead by Mrs. E. W. Blakeman and Patricia Woodward, and nearly 125 may be expected at the men's camp which will be headed by Lawrence Quinn. In addition, the Association will assume the respon- sibility for the Boy's Fresh Air Camp at Patterson Lake, which has accom- odated approximately 5000 boys from Wayne and Washtenaw counties dur- ing the last ten years.I Art Exhibit Will Open At Alumni Memorial Hall The exhibition of objects of art col- lected by Dr. Walter Koelz, who head- ed the recent University expedition to Tibet and India, will open in Alum- ni Memorial Hall today. Prof. J. G. Winter, director of the fine arts division, said yesterday, in speaking of the exhibition, "When we sent Dr. Koelz into the field we knew him to be a man of good artis- tic taste and appreciation and an experienced collector. The things which he has brought back have not only confirmed that opinion but have exceeded our expectations. I am par- ticularly pleased with the Tibetan banners." Professor Winter praised the work in studying the stylistic development of the pictorial art of Tibet, and said that Dr. Koelz had discerned various schools which have not been defined by any previous scholar. In closing Professor Winter said, "The collection itself places the Uni- versity definitely in the first rank in this field, and when Dr. Koelz is able to publish the results of his researches we shall make a very significant con- tribution to the world's knowledge of an obscure and little understood art." -Associated Press Photo This is a recent picture of Virginia Johnson, 22-year-old daughter of California's state treasurer, whose kerosene-drenched body was found in a garage near her home in Sacra- mento, Cal. 1,300 Families Are Added To .Welfare ,Lists Halting Of CWA Projects Is Cause Of Increase In Washtenaw County Since the cessation of CWA activi- ties on April 1, the number of families in Washtenaw county supported by the welfare department has increased from 1,200 to 2,500 families. Although some of these families have been taken off the welfare lists by the increase of employment at the Ford Motor Co. plant at Ypsilanti, other families are constantly being added to the lists, and, according to Miss Mildred Valentine, head of the Family Welfare Bureau, no immi- nent relief is in sight until the new Public Works Program is expanded in this county. Relief projects, among them the construction of the new jail, the building of the down river sewers, and the improvement of Burns Park are still being carried on by PWA funds, however, and these employ 90 per cent of the men whose families are sup- ported by relief work. An attempt is being made to secure employment for women in families where the fath- er is dead or unable to work, but no definite progress has yet been made. The University Broadcasting Serv- ice has just concluded a season char- acterized by advancement and ac- tivity, according to a resume of the year's work issued recently by Prof. Waldo Abbot, director of University broadcasting. During the year a total of 175 Uni- versity broadcasts were made over WJR, according to the following class- ifications: There were 19 University- Night programs, 23 parent education programs; 57 programs of the School of Music; and 76 high school assembly programs. The Michigan-Night programs con- sisted of two 15-minute talks on each program, on such topics as scientific advances, outstanding books, and re- search. The Parent-Education pro- grams consisted of topics of gen- eral interest to parents of school children, such as taxation in relation to schools, and health of school children. The programs of the School of Music were conducted by Prof. Jo- seph E. Maddy, of the School of Music, and were chiefly to help students throughout the state in learning this subject. The high school assembly programs were given on subjects re- lating to the State of Michigan, to vocational guidance, speech, health, and language. Some other interesting statistics included in the report are that 475 letters have been received from lis- teners on the University-Night pro- grams, 1,405 letters requesting supple- mentary material have come in re- sponse to the Parent Education pro- grams, and the school programs have brought 1,920 communications from non-school listeners. Estimated from the number of books in use, approximately 3,500 students have been taking advantage of Professor Maddy's courses. The school assembly programs reach 92 Professor To Head Meeting At Cornell Alexander Gwiazdowski, assistant professor of shop practice in the Col- lege of Engineering, will act as chair- man of a seminar on "Laboratory Procedure in Teaching Machine Pro- duction" at the annual meeting of the Society for Promotion of Engineering Education which will take place June 20 to 27 at Cornell University. Professor Gwiazdowski's paper will be discussed by, J. B. Finnegan, direc- tor of Research and Testing, Armour Institute of Technology, C. E. Bul- linger, head of the Department of In- dustrial Engineering, Pennsylviania State College, and E. S. Ault, asso- ciate Professor of Machine Design, Case School of Applied Science. Torch Death Victim Abbot Reviews University's 175 broadcasts Over WJR schools regularly, and reports indi- cate that about 17,500 students in these schools, distributed throughout the state, listen to these programs. Thus, statistics indicate that over 24,- 800 people in the state of Michigan were affected in one way or another by the radio broadcasting service during the last year. An interesting feature of the re- ports on the school assembly pro- grams, the most extensive feature of the Service, is that out of 92 schools receiving the programs, 92 have re- quested their continuance next year. The vocational talks and health series have the most requests for a contin- uation next year. The popularity ranking of the school series is: voca- tional guidance, science, history and civics, English poets, English lan- guage, and fine arts in the order named. Professor Abbott is planning next year's program on the basis of the successful one used this year and it will soon be announced, according to the Extension Service of which this Broadcasting Service is now a part, Edmunds And Eddy To Present Paper Dr. C. W. Edmunds and Dr. N. B. Eddy of the Medical School will pre- sent a paper June 15 at a meeting of the American Medical Association in Cleveland, giving an account of the experimentation which has been carried on in the Pharmacology lab- oratories of the University, on the general subject of "The Morphine Addiction Problem." Exhaustive research is being done on drugs by both the University oft Michigan and the University of Vir- ginia. Pharmacological results are de- termined here, while at Virginia the chemical phases of the work is being attacked. 11e ,i.I WASHABLE SLACKS ALL KINDS ALL SIZES .fr y i'iyi"'fiwiil'i i BL-UEBOOKS ALL SIZES. at SWIFT'S DRUG STORE Phone 3534 340 South State St. $1.95 $2.45 $2.95 Wild& Co.
