League For Peace To Afir Labor Bill Governor Fitzgerald's Labor Bill and the American Congress for Peace and Democracy will be the topics for discussion at a meeting of the Ann Arbor branch of the American League for Peace and Democracy to be held at 8 p.m. today in Lane Hall. Mrs. Harold S. Gray who was one of three delegates from the League of Women's Voters in Ann Arbor to the open hearings on the Labor Bill held in Lansing recently, will give a report at the meeting. Rev. H. P. Marley of the Unitarian Church and Lucille Poor, who attended the American Congress for Peace and Democracy held in Washington, D.C., this Jan- uary, will discuss the work of the Congress. retary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, pointed out in a recent radio broad- cast. This so cared "geography of dis- ease," Doctor Moulton said, is of vital interest to the American people, their livestock and their crops. In the period before white race settle- ment in the New World, Doctor Moul- tor} pointed out, the American Indian had never experienced measles, chol- era, scarlet fever, small pox, plague or leprosy. White race settlement brought these diseases, Doctor Moul- ton explained and small pox wasl particularly fatal to the Indians. Tropical Diseases Threaten Tropical diseases imply certain cli-' matic conditions such as high tem- perature, Doctor Moulton declared, but he added there are many such diseases in this country. Over 1,200 cases of leprosy are present in the United States. The proposed Pan-American high- way giving a through route from Canada to Argentina may result in the transmission of disease, Doctor Moulton warned. The only way to forestall the introduction of such disease into this country, Doctor Moulton explained, is to have health stations at the border that would force all those entering the country to undergo a rigid inspection. Not only people, but their automobiles will have to be subject to the same strin- gent regulations, Doctor Moulton pointed out, because small insect pests may be unwelcome passengers. Airplanes Are Carriers Airplanes flying from infected areas suffering epidemics are potential car- riers of disease, Doctor Moulton said. The mosquito, responsible for yellow fever or dengue fever, may be a pas- senger and its escape after the air- planerhas reached its destination may be responsible for sporadic outbreaks ted from one part of the country to another. Air Spreads Germsk This new science has been called aerobiology, Doctor Moulton con- tinued, and a national committee has been established to study the prob- lem. It has been suspected for sometime that certain plant diseases are scat- tered by air currents carrying the spores to uninfected crops, Doctor Moulton said. Pollen is carried by the breezes. Now the problem is, Doctor Moulton emphasized, whether human diseases are scattered in the same manner?, A far fetched example, Doctor Moulton pointed out, may be cited in the phenomenal case of part of a wes- tern dust storm hitting Washington, D.C. During that dust storm, a per- son may have expelled germs into the air onto particles of dust, Doctor Moulton imagined, which may have later landed in Washington. Pos- sibly, some one scheduled to speak may have picked up the microbes and developed a sore throat. Such an instance is not "fantastic," Doctor Moulton emphasized. Freedman, '39, To Give Hillel Sermon Saturday A sermon on "My Jewish Autobiog- raphy" will be given by Ronald Freed- man, '39, director of student activi- ties at the Hillel Foundation, follow- ing the weekly Sabbath Service at 8 p.m. today in the Foundation. Freed- man will attempt to project exper- iences of his own life onto present day Jewish life in general, and thus throw light on some related prob- lems. The service tonight wlil be reform, and the recently organized Hillel PhiBetaKappa Starts Program For Treedom' United Chapters To Start Campaign At Dinner; Hughes Is Chairman Supported by intellectual leaders, a national campaign in "defense of the humanities and intellectual free- dom" will be launched by the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa on Feb. 20 at a dinner in New York City. Cooperation of non-members as well as members of the national hon- or society will be urged in the drive, it was announced by Dr. William A. Shimer, secretary of the United Chap- ters. Many of the 132 chapters of the society will send representatives to the dinner, where their places will be marked by the banners of their re- spective institutions. A symposium and round-table dis- cussion with Dr. James Rowland An- gell, former president of Michigan and Yale, as moderator will be a fea- ture of the dinner. The sponsoring committee for the campaign is headed by Chief Jus- tice Charles Evans Hughes. Assist- ing, him will be Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney and Sen. William Borah of Idaho. Miss Dorothy Thompson, noted columnist, will be guest of honor at the dinner. Entertainment will be furnished by Clifton Fadiman, quiz program broadcaster, and Joseph Bentonelli, opera singer, both mem- bers of Phi Beta Kappa. French Schools Are Described Training Intellect Is Aim, Prof. Pargment Explains In French secondary schools, only academic' subjects are taught, Prof. Michael Pargment of the Romancel languages department said in a lec- ture, "Les Ecoles Francaises," to the Cercle Francais. The aim of secondary French edu-1 cation, Professor Pargment declared, is to train the intellect. The cur- ricula of the schools include lan- guages, history, geography, sciences and philosophy, but ;no vocational training. To check superficial learn- ing, no foreign language may be tak- en for less than five years. Practically all schools are state- operated, Professor Pargment ex- plained, and thestraining of teach- ers is supervised by the state, with laws regulating promotions and ad- vancements. Professor Pargment claims that there is no difference in the training or qualifications between secondary schools and universities, and teachers are promoted on merit from secondary schools to college po- sitions. The progress of students, Profes- sor Pargment said, is also under state control. All degrees are given by the state, and all programs and examina- tions for secondary schools and universities are prepared by the Min- istry of Public Education. READ THE WANT ADS 'Honors Course' To Study Judaism OfferedBy illel An "Honors Course" in Judaism, modeled along the lines of the Oxford tutorial system, is now being' given by Dr. Isaac Rabinowitz, new direc- ,tor of the local Hillel Foundation. Any student may register at any time in the course, which is designed to en- able a student to complement his general education by a broad, yet in- tensive Jewish training during the four years of study spent in Ann Ar- bor. The idea is, according to Dr. Ra- binowitz, that students read in the Jewish field in an organized fashion, in the same way they now read for Honors in English or history. Just as Honors students in the various University departments are guided in their reading by advisers or tutors, so the Foundation is now prepared to offer tutorial guidance to students in their readings in Judaism. Enrollment in the course must be preceded by a conference with Dr. Rabinowitz, in which a tentative evaluation of the student's previous Jewish education will be made, and upon which selection of the student's reading list will be based. All books used in the course may be found in the Weiss Memorial Library in the Foundation. Dr. Coller To Speak Dr. Frederick A.

Political circles took 9n endorsement given him by the Barnard-controlled Wayne County convention as evidence he is in the field. That endorsement reportedly assures him of over one-half the number of votes needed to win nomi- nation. As yet he has not started an active campaign.
