D 'scouraged British Students
Discouraged British Students
To Seek Utopia On Lonely Isle
(By Associated Press)
London, Aug. 10.-Discouraged at
the outlook in this country, dissatisfied
with the after-war Britain, but actu-
ated mainly by a love of adventure,
about a dozen engineering students
of Loughborough college are setting
out on Sept. 1 for an uninhabited Pac-
Ifi island belonging to Ecuador,
Most of them are ex-officers. Among
them is an author, D. L. David, who
wrote "Ya Brot." He expects to find
in the new settlement work for his
pen as well as his hands. A 90-ton
vessel is being made ready for the
expedition.
The chief means of existence they
hope to find by utilizing the resources
of the island itself; the development
of fruit-growing and the breeding of
cattle.
All hands will be required to work,
although climatic conditions, it has
been ascertained, are ideal and all
they will need for food can be obtain-
ed without working, if they are con-
tent just to "loaf and invite their
souls."

EDUCTORS TO REFORM
"LilRED SHOOL HOUSE"
(By Associated Press)
New York, Aug. 10.-Add to the list
of idols smashed to smithereens by
the efficiency of modern science that
quaint institution of American rural
life-the "little red schoolhouse"-now
denounced by educational experts of
Columbia university as "a danger to
national progress."
Experiments conducted for the past
year in a tiny school in Warren coun-
ty, N. J., have proved to Dr. Fannie
Dunn, of Teachers' college, Columbia,
that the problems attending the evis
of the "cult of the little red school-
house," as Dr. Dunn calls it, can be
solved by the same methods that have
brought progress in teaching the young
of the cities "how to shoot."
Forty-four pupils attended the typic-
al schoolhouse in Warren county,
which was seven miles from a trunk
line railroad, two miles form a postof-
fice, and out in the open country. A
single teacher was forced to instruct
eight grades. There are still 200,000
similar schools in the United States
just 160,000 too many, Columbia edu-
cators says. They hope to cut the
number to 40,000. Changes that seem
appallingly revolutionary to Ameri-
cans who remember the rigid, plaster-
cast demeanor that was exacted of
every country schoolboy who was fore-
ed to attend the little red schoolhouse
of years ago, are recommended for
those one-teacher institutions that will
remain. Unrestricted movement about
the room, the installation of pupil
helper for the teachers, a more "club-
by" spirit among the youngsters, and
the application of the "automat" idea
in teaching the children to gain a large
part of the education themselves from
the school library, are part of the new
plan evolved from the Warren coun-
ty test.

tors, and no date has yet been set for

Mines Stand Idle
Staunton, Ind., Aug. 10. - With. the
beginning today of the ninth day of
occupation of the Staunton coal dis-
trict there had not been a lump of
coal mined at the shafts and officials
apparently are casting about for skill-
ed labor with which to begin diggin
coal.aThere has been little response
to Governor MCray's call for volun-
teers among striking miners to man
the shafts and element of labor ship-
ped in from outside points apparent-
ly has proven unsatisfactory to the
mine operators.
Governor McCray in a statement is-
sued in Indianapolis yesterday said
convict labor would be used to oner
ate the mines only as a last resort,
and the statement brought forth the
comment from several different quar-
ters "that the last resort is about
due."
EXPECT ROADS TO AGREE TO
HARDING'S SETTLEMENT PLAN
(Continued from Page One)
although B. M. Jewell, chairman of
the striking group, said that the meet-
ing could hardly reach a decision be-
fore Saturday.
He repudiated as entirely unfounded
suggestions that the shopcraft union
expected sympathetic strikes from the
other transportation organisations, but
left the impression that sympathetic
action was expected.
FIRST OF PLAY PRODUCTION
DRAMAS GIVEN LAST NIGHT
(Continued from Page One)
her share of the performance as well
as Diehl, and although her part was
a sad one, still it is known that Rus-
sians sometimes smile, and are not
cold in their love-making.
It must not be forgotten, however,
that this was an amateur production,
and that even effort has its reward.
"The Melting Pot" is a play of the
heart and the soul, of the suffering of
a nation-and interpreting it is an
achievement in which better and more
experienced actors have failed.
