Word Received
From Director
Of Camp Davis
Johnston Tells Of Work
At Wyoming Surveying
Field Station
First reports to be received here of
the work being done at Camp Davis,
the University surveying station in
the Jackson Hole country near Jack-
son, Wyoming, came yesterday in the
form of a letter to The Daily from
Prof. Clarence T. Johnston, director
of the camp.
The organization of the camp in-
cludes 21 students, five regular staff
members, one instrument man, and
one student assistant, according to
Professor Johnston.
Excerpts from his letter, dated
July 4, follow:
"We are working as usual today.
We will also work one Saturday aft-
ernoon, which earns us a day and
. half which will be at the disposal
:f the students toward the end of
July when they visit Yellowstone
Park over a week-end.
Camp is In Mountain Valley
"The camp and surrounding coun-
try must be seen to be understood.
We live in a mountain valley about
a mile wide and three miles long. We
are surrounded by mountains run-
ning from 1,500 to 4,000 feet above
Us and the elevation of the camp
grounds is 6,100 feet above sea level.
"The valley lands are coverea with
a growth of grass, many kinds of
flowering plants, and sagebrush. We
have no brush or trees to cut in con-
nection with out field work and no
troublesome insects. Many birds
nest in and about the camp and elk,
deer, and other wild animals graze
on the mountain slopes and in the
valleys that extend back from the
"Hoback River.
"The river runs within five min-
utes walk of the camp. It is a trout
stream, averaging over 100 feet wide
and too swift and deep to ford ex-
cept during periods of unusually low
water. Our work, unlike most Uni-
versity activities, relates to measure-
ment. We deal with lines and angles
that cannot be seen, and hence even
a visitor who spends much time here
understanls but little about field
operations or the results thereof.
"We cannot bring these to Ann Ar-
bor and put them on display. Stu-
dents who enroll here must be well
grounded in mathematics and related
subjects, or they never get very far
in our work. We have several gradu-
ate students, or students who have
taken graduate work and four stu-
-dents are now pursuing advanced
work in triangulation and related
subjects.
Weather is Good
"We are 'having ideal weather, as
usual. The days are bright and pleas-
ant. We never have uncomfortably
warm weather and from two to four
blankets are needed at night.
"We have a very comfortable camp,
running water in all buildings, elec-
tric lights, .hot and cold showers, a
splendid mess, and a modern sani-
tary system. The ground at the camp
is composed of disintegrated shale.
This year we have a small garden
that supplies fresh vegetables for the
mess
"A number of the government for-
estry camps are located near us.
Much work is now in progress on the
local roads. Four years ago, when
we came here to establish the camp,
we drove over 900 miles of gravel
road. This year the roads were hard
except for three or four sections hav-
ing a total mileage of less than 300.
Within two years, we will have hard
roads the entire distance of 1,700

miles."
Republicans Meet To
Decide On Party Plans
WASHINGTON, July 10. -(AP) -
Republicans from eight states meet
in Chicago Tuesday to discuss with
party leaders plans for regaining the
power that last November's ballot-
ing swept away.
Their first efforts, already begun,
will be directed toward cutting down
the Democratic majority of nearly
100 in the House of Representatives.
All House members come up for elec-
tion in 1934, as do 32 members of
the senate. In 1936 there is the Pres-
idential election,
The Chicago meeting, under the
leadership of Everett Sandors, chair-
man of the Republican national
committee, will bring together the
national chiefs and representatives
from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Ken-
tucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and Iowa.

schools must be generously support-
ed out of public funds, (3) teachers
should be professionally trained,
and, (4) the moral development of
children is the crucial phase of edu-
cation.
Charles Eliot was called "the
architect of an educational system
adaptd to American life, a wise in-
terpreter of the age in which he
lived, a counsellor of the American
people for half a century, a great
scholar and administrator, and a
leader of men," with which Mr. Carr
concluded the conference.
A change in the dates for two of
the coining conferences was an-
nounced yesterday by Prof. Thomas
Diamond of the vocational education

department, who is in charge of the
summer program.
Today's conference will be given
by Dr. Margaret Bell, professor of
physical education, on "The Re-
sponsibility of the Teacher in Re-
gard to Personal Health." The con-
ference originally scheduled for to-
day, "Resume of Michigan Legisla-
tion Affecting Education," by Prof.
Arthur B. Moehlman, has been post-
poned until Tuesday, July 18.
