Discusses Understanding
Of Progressive Educa-
tion At Conference
Dr. Frederick L. Redefer, executive
secretary of the Progressive Educa-
tion Association, yesterday afternoon
presented an address in University
High School entitled "Toward the
Understanding Of Progressive Edu-
cation." His talk was one of the se-
ries of afternoon conferences spon-
sored by the School of Education.
Creative and progressive education
are inextricably linked by educators,
Dr. Redefer said in opening his ad-
dress. "There are two words in 'crea-
tive education, which may be confus-
ing," he said, "and they are 'creative'
and 'education'."
From there he proceeded to define
the two words in their correct appli-
cation to the subject in hand.
The first characteristic of the cre-
ative act is that the product must be
the expression of the individual him-
self, he said. Also, in the creative act
there must be the sincerity and hon-
esty of the individual. "The creative
thinker must use all his knowledge of
history, geography, or economics in-
tegrated towards the solution of his
problem," he continued.
He pointed out that in the creative
product there must be the feeling
which never gives complete and last-
ing satisfaction. Also the great artist
of this type recognizes the need for
drill and discipline, but the drill and
discipline he wants and desires is ac-
quired in order to express himself
better and adds to his knowledge, Dr.
Redefer said.
"Is there not a need for an educa-
tion that is not copying, memorizing,
or blind acceptance - and education
that integrates within the individual
knowledge, expression, and skill and
brings from within hime his 'deepest
desires and interests expressed in a
way to provide for continual growth
of experience?" Dr. Redefer asked.'
"I grow weary of teachers," he said
in closing, "who think that creative
education exists only in fine arts. A
creative education is as necessary in
the social and physical sciences as in
the plastic arts. In a rapidly chang-
ing world the ability to face each
day's problems and see them through
to a conclusion is a necessity of all
educational training."

Secret Service
Is Puzzled By
Gallon f Nitro
CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 4. -()- Two
United States secret service agents
learned today that it is one problem
to seize a gallon of nitroglycerine and
another, and a more difficult one, to
get rid of it.
They breezed into the office of
Lieut. John Treacy at the det'ective
bureau Thursday, loosely carrying
three glass jars containing a gallon
of a clear, colorless liquid resembling
water.
Lieut. Treacy took but one glance
before shouting:,
"Put that stuff down and do it
quickly and lightly. Why that's'
enough nitroglycerine to blow up all
the Loop."
And with that the Government
men explained they had been trying
to give it away for four hours.
They said they had been detailed
to get rid of it and had visited Lieut.
Mike Mills, former head of the bomb
squad, who ordered them out of -his
office. He told thee he had never
seen so much nitroglycerine together
at one time.
From there they wandered over to
the Northwestern University crime
laboratory and, in addition to being
shown the door again, were warned
that one of the jars was beginning to
deteriorate and was liable to explode
at any moment.
Lieut. Treacy went with them to the
morgue, where Dr. Clarence H. Much-
berger invited them to leave as quick-
ly andquietly as possible and take
their jars with them.
But 'he succeeded in getting rid of
the explosive after'first warning them'
not to dump it in Lake Michigan.'
Taking 20 gallons of alcohol and 20
cans of lye, he mixed them in an old
wash tub, then added the explosive
gradually. The resulting concoction,
was poured on the ground, and that
was the end of the nitroglycerine'
scare.

Denver Hunting
For Victims Of
Big Cloudburst
DENVER, Aug. 4.-( P)-Searchers
waded through tons of mud and de-
bris today, trying to locate five per-
sons believed to have perished in yes-
terday's flood. Denver threw open
its doors to hundreds of refugees
made homeless by the deluge which
swept a thirty-five-mile path of de-
vastation into this City from the
broken Castlewood Dam.
Camped near Franktown, just be-
low 'the dam, were two gold miners
and a family of three 'persons,
Franktown residents said. No trace'
of them had been found late today.
The known deaths remained at two
-Tom Carey, Denver, and Bertha
Catlin, ranch employee.
Farmers and stockmen and their
families, whose homes in the valley
between the dam and Denver were
swept away or left crumpling by
the flood water, were brougt to Den-
ver today by the scores. The Salva-
tion Army assumed the task of tem-
porarily feeding and sheltering them.
New Disciples
Of Henry Clay
Are Appearing
By FRANCES W. BROWN
Those students who elected P:f.
Gail E. Densmore's advanced p tl i
speaking course this summer im"
learned that it develops and tr n
the individual for life participa ,in
far more than the terse catalog ,(
announcement implies.
While the rest of the student body
may have been indulging in after-
noon teas, golf, or band conceris.
these diligent students have labored
on their numerous assignments. T&',-
ents, long dormant, have sprung int e
life, and, it is said, many an embrv
onic genius has approached full real-
ization of his powers.
The advantage of smaller class en-
rollments has been demonstrated 1y
the individual attention each merm-
ber has received. Each has been
called upon to drain, to the limit, his
well of resourcefulness in meetini .
the demands of the assignmen is.
Work-out programs have rid him o
hesitancy and stage fright. Then-
have been lengthy expository' n
descriptive speeches that would have
challenged Henry Clay, himself, and
even old Noahi Webster would haveo
marveled at the vocabularies that
have been developed.
These students have bravely stood
the attacks of their professor's on-
slaughts and have been heckled un-
mercifully by their associates. Lastly
they have assembled and produced
radio programs and have familiarized
themselves with all branches of radio
technique.
That one may pre-view, as we
might say, or have the privilege of
hearing these virgin stars before the
heavy lights of Broadway flash their
names, and the vibrance of their
voices set in motion international air
waves, an evening's program has been
arranged for students and their
friends. It will take place in Room
4203, Angell Hall at 8 p.m., Tuesday,
Aug. 8.

FORMULA mwhat is
It?.
The formulas and processes which
make
Chesterfield
a milder
and
better-tasting cigarette are secret-
to prevent others from copying them
If every person knew the method and processes
of tanning leather, it would be of interest; but what
people want to know is: Is it a good shoe? Is it
comfortable?Will it wear longer? Is the price right?
So it is with Chesterfield Cigarettes. If smokers,
men and women, knew all of the formulas and pro-
cesses of manufacture, it would be of interest to
them; but what smokers really want is the result.
Everything that goes into Chesterfield Cigarettes
is as good as money can buy.
Every process, has in it all that science knows
about cigarette manufacture.
The formulas are secret to prevent others from
copying them. The mildness and the better taste
you may prove for yourself. May we ask you to
try Chesterfield?
