Professor Reed.
ADD TO CITY PROBLEMS
General Crime Ratio Declining;
Sensational Crimes HigherI
in Last 20 Years.
"Automobile and the paved high-
way have done much to effect the
relation of man to man and to
bring into city administration the
most modern of its problem, that
of cosmopolitanism," said Professor
Thomas H. Reed, of the Political
Science department, ina lecture at
5 o'clock Monday at the Natural
Science auditorium. "These new
p r o b I e m s," continued Professor
Reed, "demand all the courage, in-
sight and foresight that can be1
brought to bear upon them. Mu-
nicipalities surrounding large cities
have become the refuge places for
those who prey upon the popula-
tion, and local communities prefer
to remain independent, thus vitiat-
ing the powers of the city admin-
istrations to cope with the prob-
lems of common concern."
Autos Made Cities Grow
Discussing how the introduction
of gunpowder had removed the
limits of walls, and moats from the
medieval city and the steam rail-
roads had enlarged the growth of
the cities when the natural hanker-
ing of the northern European for a
tree, a few chickens and a little
open country home produced bed-
room communities outside of large
cities where one could cut grass,
drive away the mosquitoes and
catch a few moments of sleep be-
fore dashing for the 7:45 special,,
Professor Reed said, "that the prob-
lem for providing for a unified
control of matters of common con-
cern was met by the annexing ofi
newer communities. With the com-
ing of the automobile and the1
paved highway the areas to which
one could travel for a suburban
home soon grew too large and the
rate of growth exceeded the rate
of annexation. Around every large1
city and often within its boundar-;
les there grew up many embattled
municipalities objecting to any an-
nexation and proud and jealous of
their corporate existence.
Cities and Their Mayors
"The general movement to the
cities, because of the growing effi-
ciency on the farm and the de-
mand for labor in the cities, which
has made our day the age of the
large city, filled the cities and the
cities overflowed back into the
country. This growth of cities," con-
tinued Professor Reed, "has brought
the problems which have infested
the course of democracy since its
inception. So much so that popular
election became subjected to graft
and the corruption of the elector-
ate and where the officials count
the votes only they desire to count.
An honest election," said Professor
Reed, "in manymunicipalities L
a question of grave doubt, and the
mayors of many cities buffoon,
clown and demogogue their way in-.
to the hearts of their cities."
"In spite of the lack of municipal
home rule and the distrust of the
rural communities of the u r b a n
population, who still believe in the
poetic but fanciful dictum that God
made the country and man made
the town, there has been great and
general advancement since Vis-
count Bryce wrote of the city ad-
ministrations as 'America's o n e
conspicuous failure.' Many of the
city departments are nowJin charge
of experts, especially schooled, pub-
lic health and police are adminis-
tered in a thorough going and in-
telligent manner. Our cities show
a declining crime ratio for the last
twenty years, although sensation-
al crime resulting in murder is on
the increase.
"The distrust of the rural com-
munities of their city\ cousins has
often resulted in unequal repre-
sentation in state legislatures, ac-

FOR NAVAL TREATY
Senator McKellar Demands All
Documents; Senator Johnson
Supports Demand.
HOOVER SENDS MESSAGE
Treaty Itself Comprises Sole
Obligation of Nation, Says
President Hoover.
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, July 7.- Presi-
dent Hoover opened the special
session of the Senate for consider-
ation of the London Naval treaty
today with a 2400 word message
calling for its ratification as "an
important step in disarmament
and world peace."
Hardly had the presidential mes-
sage -been read to the 58 senators
who answered the first roll call
when Sen. McKellar, Dem. Tenn.,
offered a resolution requesting the
documents relating to the London
conference which President Hoo-
ver had refused -to turn over to the
Senate foreign relations commit-
tee.
Sen. Reed, Rep., Pa., a member
of the American delegation, re-
plied the documents were in the
possession of members of the del-
egation and he offered them in
confidence to any senator who
wished to see them. He. said, "The
senator who accepts my suggestion
wil Ireadily see (the reason why
the correspondence is not to be
made public."
Reed Offer- Scorned
However, Sen . Johnson, Rep.,
Cal., who, with McKellar, is one of
the chief opponents of the pact,
scorned the Reed offer and de-
manded the papers "for the Uni-
ted States senate and for every
member of it and for my govern-
ment here."
McKellar will call up his reso-
lution tomorrow after Sen. Swan-
son, Dem., Va., has delivered the
opening address in behalf of the
pact. There was doubt tonight

additional laurels today, defeating
George Lott, of Chicago, and John
Doeg, Santa Monica, in straight'
sets 6-3, 6-3, 6-2, to retain the Wim-
bledon doubles championship.
By their unexpected one-sidedj
victory, Allison and Van Ryn once
more proclaimed themselves t h ef
foremost doubles combination in
the world and added the final to
an unprecedented American sweept
of British titles and brought to a I
close a tournament which is jocu-
larly referred to here as Wimble-
don's 1930 American championship.
Despite the toughest sort of com-I
petition assembled from all overl
the world, the well-balanced com-

made tennis history as four of the
five events wound up in All-Ameri-

In the women's doubles, Mrs.
Moody and Miss Ryan overcame

Pro fessional Ethics
Discussed by Edmonson
In his discussion, "Some Ques-
tions of Professional Ethics," de-
livered before the Women's Educa-
tion Club last night, James B. Ed-f
monson, dean of the School of Ed-
ucation, said that teachers should
seek to convince the public that
higher salaries for competent peo-
ple are not only needed but justifi-
able, and that in such cases iti
would be ethical to enter a combi-I
COURTIS DEFINES

AS PERSONAL AID
Says
Educators Must Nurture
Individual Plans.
Prof. Stuart A. Courtis of the
School of Education made the first.
address on the series of Afternoon
Conferences in the University high,
school auditorium yesterday. His
subject was "Desirable Changes in'
Teaching Procedure".
"Today the progressive view of
education holds that the educa-
tional process is best conceived as
the nurture of personalities," he
stated. "The teacher's work is
either stimulating worthy purposes
in children, or assisting them to
achieve their purposes."
"Under the new method," he,
said, "the problems would have to
be visioned and the lessons set by
the children, the solutions and
plans wouldbe worked out by the
children on their own initiative.
The children would also direct the
execution of the plane, appraise
their success, and make their own
generalizations."
"Such a method of teaching," he
continued, "calls for profound mod-
ification of existing practices. For
one thing, in every subject and in
every grade the teacher's course of
study would consist of these items;
namely, to develop in her pupils(1)

Conan Doyle, Famous
Novelist,_Dies at 71
(By Associated Press)
CROWBOROUGH, Susse, Eng.,
July 7.- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
novelist, historian, physician, trav-
eler, and spiritualist, died at his
residence "Windlesham" today of
heart disease at the age of 71. Lady
Doyle, two sons and one daughter
were at his bedside when death
came.
Though the famous creator of
Sherlock Holmes largely surren-
dered his other interests during the
later years of his life to his champ-
ionship of spiritualism, thereby an-
tagonizing former friends, it was
his long career as an author that
the great majority of Englishmen
recall today.
Above all, England remembered
the series of Sherlock Holmes stor-
ies where he portrayed with ex-
traordinary vividness not only the
greatest detective in fiction, but al-

"The modernistic movement in
American Literature is closely par-
alleled in Spanish Literature, "he
said. "American books are read with
great interest in Spain. Such is
the interest of Spanish people in
American literature that frequent-
ly books which are barred to the
American public are translated in-
to Spanish. Much of the Spanish
Literature that is read in this coun-
try has been translated from rath-
