Work On Paralysis
-Described By Peet
Attending what is considered their
most successful meeting to date, more
than 3,200 teacher-delegates repre-
sentative of 20 organizations, poured
into Ann Arbor yesterday for the
first sessions in the action-filled pro-
gram of the two-day 54th Annual
Meeting -,f the Michigan School-
masters' Club.
Today's session features a general
conference at 9:30 a.m. in the Rack-
ham Building. The- theme of this
session is "Activities and Innovations
in Secondary Education."
The session will take the form of
six conferences erroneously an-
nounced as occurring yesterday. These
are "A Roundtabl Exposition of the
Curriculum of the Edison Institute
Schools" in the Amphitheatre; "The
Presentation of Visual and Radio
Education Teachidg Aids" in the Lec-
ture Hall, and "Visual Aids for the
Classroom" in Room 3515.
English Program Discussed
Other coer nces are on "The En-
richmeit of the English Program" in
the Men's Lounge; "Consumer Sci-
ence" in the West Conference Room,
and "Youth refl Youth Their Story"
in the West Lecture Room.
While awaiting the first meeting
today, th f2OO, 1,800 more than
were expected, looked back on a day
overflowing with accomplishment.
In the MeY-attended early morn-
ing business meeting, they voted to
have Mr. L. L. Forsythe, principal of
Ann Arbor High School, as presi-
dent; Miss Elizabeth Shierman of
Jackson as vice-president; and Mr.
G. S. Cantr ck, superintndent of
Monroe schools, and Mr. George W.
Murdoch of Detroit as newly elected
members of the executive committee.
Editor Speaks
On the heels of the business con-
ference came the long-awaited dis-'
cussion of "Education-What.Next?"
by Mr. W. Carson Ryan, editor of
the magazine "Progressive Education"
and Dr. William C. Bagley, profes-
sor emeritus of Columbia University's
Teachers College.
Mr. Ryan told the assembled teach-
ers that educators to succeed in
their fundamental purpose, must de-
fine what they mean by a normal
human youth and his educational
needs. Once this is done, he said, they
must service those needs.
Too many schools must be cen-
sured, according to Mr. Ryan, be-
cause they dispense a motley col-
lection of facts without any regard
for the satisfaction of human needs.
"Our job then," he concluded, "is to
see how we ' canl make education a
kind of developmental progress to
produce man at his best."
' Civil Rights Important
Professor Bagley emphasized the
unpredictable human mind and the
necessity of having a good educa-
tional system as a "continuation of
democracy.*"
Once our civil rights-freedom of
speech, pfress, religion and assembly
-are crushed under an iron heel, he

said, it will be impossible for a good
liberal education to exist. In line
with liberal education, Professor Bag-
ley conclded, exploratory courses
should be offered in high school so
that students might find out what
they are fitted for.

Yacht Engine Accepted
The steam engine was presented
to the University by the Chrysler
Corporation. It was originally de-
signed by John F. and Horace H.
Dodge, and at one time was a power
plant for the Dodge Bros.' yacht,
Hornet II.
The Regents announced the resig-
nation of John S. M. Zimmerman
as director of the University Public
Works Administration projects, ef-

igan was second in the sprint and
third in the distance event, after
being in the lead on the last lap of
both races.
Kelley Qualifies First
Stan Kelley was the first Wolver-
ine to qualify for tomorrow's final
events, coming in second in the third
heat of the high hurdles. Junior
Jeff Hall failed to qualify, running
fifth in his heat. Rice's defending
I champion, Fred Wolcott, turned in
the fastest heat-:14.5. George Os-
troot and Bob Hook put the shot far
enough to insure themselves places
in the competition' tomorrow after-
noon. Making no attempt to break
Gregory Rice's record of 9:15, Sch-
warzkopf took things as easy as pos-
sible all the way in the two-mile.
The Big Ten distance king won the
first of the individual events, de-
feating the second-place Bill Jen-
kins of Iowa State by more than
forty yards in the slow time of 9:22.
Johnny Munski, Missouri's great mi-
ler, finished third, some 30 yards
behind Jenkins.
- In two more wild races in this
year's bitter Michigan-Indiana re-
lay rivalry, the Hoosiers for the
umpteenth time came from behind
on the final lap to win both of the
day's relay finals, tieing the carnival
record in the spring medley.
Early Lead Gained
Michigan's first three runners,
Warren Breidenbach, Al Smith, and
Bud Piel, sent the Wolverines out to
a lead, and things perked up even
more when Indiana's sophomore
star, Campbell Kane, stumbled to
his hands as he took the baton. Even
a break like that couldn't pull Mich-
igan through and the Conference
mile champ from Indiana came rac-
ing up from the rear to overtake
Dye Hogan and equal Rice's Drake
record of 3:25.
Even though Bud Tolliver was sub-
stituted for the great Kane, the In-
diana distance medley team, which
set the world indoor record at the
Butler Relays, ran in front almost

(Special to the Daily)
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., April 26-
A twelfth-inning single by substitute
outfielder Russ Clifton, in the wake
of a long triple by Jock Corriden,
gave the Indiana baseball team a 4-3
victory over Michigan here at Jordan
Field today.
The extra-inning tilt was a keen
pitching duel between Dale Gentil
and Jack Barry, respective Hoosier
and Wolverine aces, the winners out-
hitting Michigan, 13-7. Barry was
hard to hit in the clutches, however,
leaving 10 Indiana men stranded on.

Speech Contest
Winners Named
Lewis, Block, Washburn
Get Annual Awards
Robert Lewis, '42, received honors
in the Speech 32 contest yesterday
in the Natural Science Auditorium
for his talk on "The Best of all
Possible Worlds."
Other winners were Wilfred Block,
'42, for his talk, "Invisible Stripes"
and Frank Washburn, '42, who talk-
ed on "A Sophomore Looks Back."
Lewis with his take-off on Vol-
taire's "Candide" kept the audience
in stitches as he described how this
world we live in is the "best of all
possible worlds."
Block, speaking on "Invisible

Stripes," retold the difficulties which
paroled men have in getting adjusted
to society. "These are the thiefs
who get caught," he said, and there
are many others whose crimes are
never discovered.
In his speech "A Sophomore Looks
Back," Washburn referred to the
dilemma most sophomores found
themselves in in regard to- the fu-
ture, pointing out that they com-
pletely disregardedpthedimportance
of each day as it passed.

5,000 Attend
17th Honors
Convocation
Washington And Lee Head
Holds Loyalty To Ideals
As Salvation Of World
884 Students Cited
For Achieyements
Five thousand people in Hill Audi-
torium yesterday morning heard Dr.
Francit P. Gaines, president of Wash-
ington and Lee University, urge faith
in ideals as the only hope today for
a world "rapidly breaking into frac-
tions."
Dr. Gaines speech was the high-
light of the 17th annual Honors Con-
vocation which saw 884 undergradu-
ate and graduate students cited for
outstanding academic achievement
this year.
Speaking specifically to the honor
students, Dr. Gaines emphasized that
it was the part of "gifted ones" to
rise beyond mere loyalty to self and
to a group "into some understand-
ing, some dedication before the altar
of a great ideal." For the student
he suggested the ideals of honesty,
kindness and modesty, "great ideals,
simple in themselves, that simplify
most of the mystifying problems we
are facing."
The potential threat against the
world today, Dr. Gaines claimed, is
the fact that our "radius of loyalty"
has been seriously narrowed. Our
salvation lies, therefore, he continued,
in an extension of this radius to en-
compass the ideals "that shall sus-
tain us when the universe seems to
be giving way beneath us."
These ideals are our only hope, he
concluded, "because they can not be
cowed or intimidated," emphasizing
that 'a man who has the ideal of
peace can no longer tolerate the
threat of civilzation destroying it-
self."
Dr. Alexander G. Ruthven intro-
duced the speaker. Prof. Jesse S.
Reeves, William W. Cook Professor
of American Instiutions, presided, in-
troducing the honor students to Presi-
dent Ruthven.
Gibson Awarded
Phi Sigma Medal
Colvin L. Gibson, '40, was awarded
the Phi Sigma scholarship medal yes-
terday by President Ruthven in recog-
nition of "an outstanding record of
scholarship in the biological sciences
and the greatest promise of research
ability in the field of biology."
The presentation was made in the
President's office before the Honors
C9nvocation. The award is made
annually by the national biological
society, to the outstanding senior stu-
dents in 35 universities that have ac-
tive chapters.
President Ruthven, one of the
founders of the local Beta chapter,
was national president of the society
until last year.
Gibson, majoring in zoology,
has done research on blood parasites
in wild animals in his' senior year.

eign students, headed by athletic
director, Charlie Ochs, '40Ed.
With all the colors of therainbow
splashed into the native costumes
of the performers, folk dances were
presented calling back visions of old
Turkey, South America and the Slav-
ic countries. Directors and accom-
panists for the dances included
Jeanne Burt, Estafania Aldaba, Mrs.'
Helen Snyder, and Mr. Angel Chin-

Prof. Stalker To Be Honored
At Aeronautical Meet Tuesday

Grand Rapids Takes Debate;
Marching To Feature Festival

Prof. Edward A. Stalker, chairman
of the department of Aeronautical
engineering, will be honored on his
tenth year as head of the depart-
ment at the annual Institute of Aer-
onautical Sciences banquet at 6:30
p.m. Tuesday in the League.
A leader in both educational and
industrial phases of aeronautics,
Professor Stalker includes a wide
range of achievements among his
works in that field.
Recognized as a consulting en-
gineer in addition to his academic
pursuits, Professor Stalker received
his Bachelor of Science degree in
aeronautical engineering here in
1919. After working for three years
in the Stout Engineering Labora-
tories, he returned for graduate
study, and received his Masters de-
gree in 1923. An instructor in aero-
nautics from 1922-25, he was assis-
tant professor from 1925-27, asso-
ciate professor, 1927-29, full pro-
fessor, 1929-30, and was named head
of the department in 1930.
Consultant to several aircraft
manufacturing companies in design
and stress analysis, he drew up the
first strength requirements for the
construction of airplanes in 1928 in

Presented at the national meeting
of the Institute of Aeronautical Sci-
ences this year by Professor Stalker
was a widely-acclaimed paper on
the subject of boundary layer con-
trol. Two airplanes utilizing the re-
sults f his research are now under
construction. Predicted advantages
for the principles embodied in his'
theory are a three-fold increase in
lifting power and the reduction of
landing speeds to 25 miles per hour.
Foundation for a department of
aeronautical engineering here was
laid in 1912, when a group of stu-
dents interested in aviation organ-
ized an aeronautical society and con-
structed a glider patterned after one
designed by the Wright brothers.
In 1915, three lecture courses in
the theory of aviation and the pro-
pulsion of airplanes were offered by
Prof. F. W. Jawlowski of the marine
engineering department.
Regular courses leading to the de-
gree of Bachelor of Sciences in aero-
nautics were established by the
Board of Regents in 1916, with Prof.
Herbert C. Sadler as chairman of
the department.

Grand Rapids Central High
School last night defeated a team
from Flint Northern in a two-to-one
decision to take the Michigan state
debate championship in a contest
sponsored by the Michigan High
School Forensic Association and the
Detroit Free Press in Hill Auditor-
ium.
The Grand Rapids team of Robert
Dangl, David Ewing and Gordon
Boozer, coached by Miss Florence
T. Efty, took the negative side of
the question, "Resolved, That the
Federal Government Should Own
and Operate the Railroads."
The affirmative' Flint team con-
sisted of Bernard Didier, Lorrainer
Miller and William Tate, who were
coached by Frederic C. Harrington.
Miss Miller, who opened the af-
firmative arguments claimed that
government ownership of the roads
would eliminate wastes connected
with private ownership and aid the
public by giving better service. The
negative tallied by stating that
wastes in the railrads were not as
great as proposed by the affirma-
tive and that consolidation is rem-

As Michigan's annual Instrumen-
tal Music Festival swings into its
second and last day the great mach-
ing band festival takes first place
on the program.
Beginning at 7 p.m. today in Yost
Field House the festival will feature
the play of Class "A," Class "B,"
and Class "C" bands from all over
Michigan.
The old method of "ranking" or
"placing" has been abandoned in fa-
vor of the new and widely used rat-
ing plan, adopted by the National
School Band, Orchestra and Vocal
Association. Bands will be judged
according to the class, and may
place in first, second, third or fourth'
divisions.
Following the judging of the bands
more than 800 young musicians will
combine in a massed band, under
nationally known conductors to
bring the evening's performance to
a close with John Philip Sousa's
march, "Stars and Stripes Forever."
The entire day will be taken up
by readings by Senior and Junior
class bands and orchestras. The
