THE MICHIGAN DAILY ( defer Talks n Education, School Series Pickets In Zone Of Pennsylvania's Coal Mine Strike' 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." -Associated Press Photo A truck load of striking mine pickets are shown blocking a road near Star Junction in the heart of the scft coal strike area in gouthwestern Pennsylvania.

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. MRS.

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.

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. FISH HAS 12 SCALES VVALLEJO, Calif., Aug. 4-0)-W.
