Voelker's Aim To Improve Industrial And Rural Schools "A steady source of income for schools to.be arranged through some new form of taxation is advisable. We must provide for a living wage for teachers, a reasonable security of their attainment, and a steady source of income for the schools. Here are a few facts: Only about one-tenth of the schools of Michigan will run full-time next year unless some new form of special aid is provided- 15 percent will run from two to three months, 25 per- cent will run four months, 25 per cent will run five months, 15 per cent will run from six to eight months, and 10 percent will run full-time. "The problem is stated in this way- The property tax will bring between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000 next year. The primary fund will bring us about $18,000,000. The chain store tax will probably bring an ad- ditoinal $2,000,000. This will mean we shall have between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000 to run the schools in- stead of $86,000,000 as we had last year. The schools will not run ade- quately unless we provide $15,000,000 more than has now been provided.", Youngsters in Teens Industry does not want youngsters -"the industrial codes filed at Wash- ington show that,"- Dr. Voelker said regarding his second point, "Most Michigan employers refuse to employ anyone under 18 or 21 years of age. The legislative labor laws and the mechanization of industry have made mature workers necessary and an over-su-pply of adult workers. "The solution of this ;problem will be to give more attention to the fit- ting of young people to specific jobs for them. Michigan will need to ex- tend its industrial education work- trade schools, part-time schools, ap- prenticeship schools, continuation schools, technological schools, and agricultural schools,"' he explained. In regard to what to do with in- creasing leisure, Dr. Voelker said, "the time is coming when no one will be employed who is under 20. The time will soon come when no one Roosevelt Appeals For Co-Operation Jones Speaks On .Future O U.S. Railroads The entrance into the field of transportation of a number of dan- gerous competitors plus the combina- tion of certain other circumstances; has done much to reduce materially the traffic on railroads today, de- clared Prof. Eliot V. Jones of Leland Stanford University in the week's; first lecture, "The Outlook for the Railroads," in the Summer Session special series yesterday afternoon.' The airplane, the motor truck, the pipe line, and the boat, only recently developed as methods of transporta- tion of traffic, have come near to supplanting the railroad as the most important means of transportation, he said. The subsidization of the airplane' Professor Jones said, places it in a position where its rapid rise to rival the train mnust be viewed with alarm. The rapid development of the mo- tor truck anid the pipe line has oc- curredualmost entirely within the past two years. The former is a di- version of carloads traffic. However, "the chances of its completely su- perceding the railroad are nil be- cause of the necessity of decided im- provement in roads and bridges."' It holds a decided advantage, he said, in that it receives merchandise at the manufacturer's door and delivers at the door of the purchaser or mer- chant. The pipe line serves as a means for the transportation of na- tural gas, fruit petroleum, and gaso- line. Professor Jones said that since natural gas has a greater heating value than coal, and is therefore be- ginning to supplant it, the railroad is losing the traffic of transporting fuel to the pipe line. ''The development of the water line for carrying freight has been mostly during the last decade. It is espe- cially valuable for Great Lakes traf- fic,'' he said. Profesor Jones said that in order CHICAGO, July 24.-(;P)-A des- perate bank robber fought policemen with a pistol in a criminal court room today, killing Policeman John Se- vick before he was wounded prob- ably fatally himself.l As bullets thudded against the door of the court room and audiencel and attaches ducked in panic from the line of fire, Bailiff Jack Kav- anagh snatched the fallen police-t man's revolver and ran after the' fugitive. He shot the gunman, John Scheck, 21 years old, twice in the back, but Scheck ran on down the1 court house stairs. On a floor below a clerk accosted Scheck. The gunman swheeled, leveled his pistol and pulled the trigger. It clicked harmlessly. He slumped to the floor; the bailiff's shots had taken effect. Physicians said heJ probably would die. Carl Grundhoefer, co-defendant with Scheck on charges of bank rob- bery and murder, had sprinted from the bullpen with Scheck, but was un- armed. He gave up, protesting that his companion had forced him to run. MARKET UP AGAIN NEW YORK, July 24.-(R)-The stock market got out of bed today, took a long deep breath and signaled its apparent convalescence with a spurting advance of $2 to $10 or more per share. All categories of equities joined in the recovery, although the alcohols and metals were easily the leaders throughout. Grains, in restricted trading at Chicago, were fairly firm and wheat jumped 2 to 3 cents.a bushel at Winnipeg. Law - Literary Party To Be held Thursday The annual Summer Session tea for law and literary school fac- ulty and students, this year in the form of a lawn party, will be held from 4 to 6 p. m. in front of the League building, it was an- nounced yesterday. Both men and women students Hugo Grotius, a pioneer in the field of international law, was described as an individual who went the ways of peace through conciliation, by Prof. Jesse S. Reeves of the political sci- ence department in the second public lecture ,on the program of the Inter- national Law Conference, held last night in Natural Science Auditorium. Grotius first made his reputation as an internationalist when, in his early twenties, he wrote a brief of a case involving the rights of the sea which involved the Dutch East India Co. and Portugal, Professor Reeves said. The work appeared under the title "Law of Capture" and was later edited and reprinted as "Mare Lib- rum" or "Freedom of the Sea." Professor Reeves described the ca- reer of the famous jurist which be- gan in Holland in 1583, swung to Paris, and was concluded in jail in the country of his birth. Grotius, he said, besides being a scholar, was connected with the states-rights, liberal religion, pro- French party in Holland. With the ascension of William of Orange, the nationalist, state control religion, pro-England came into power and Grotius was thrown into jail with a life sentence to face. "While in jail, he read many books and finally managed to escape in one of the large boxes in which his books were delivered," according to Pro- fessor Reeves. He fled to France where he con- tinued his studies, wrote, and was, finally named French ambassador from Sweden by Queen Christina, the speaker said. He was shipwrecked on a planned return trip to Holland, Professor Reeves said, taken from the boat, and put in jail where he died in 1645. "Grotius was not courageous; but he was the prince of the humanists. He was a great scholar. He drew his mode of living from the old Greek and Latin masters," he concluded. MAJOR LEAGUE STANDINGS By the Associated Press CHARLES F. URSCHEL * * *. f By the Associated Press AV Charles F. Urschel, wealthy oil e operator, was abducted from a bridge r game at his Oklahoma City home t: Saturday night by gunmen. No trace o had been found of him today, and his M family awaited word from the abduc- s tors, ready to talk ransom. In the meantime, with two promi- nent victims still held for ransom, the Federal governnent Monday g made its first charges-with a Chi- ' cago gang chief as the leading de- w fendant in the recent outbreak of n kidnapings. t Under the surveilance of half a b hundred armed police, Roger Touhy and three henchmen were taken to t Milwaukee, Wis., where they were i] named in federal warrants as the a kidnapers of William Hamm, Jr., mil- i lionaire St. Paul (Minn.) brewer, for p $100,000 ransom. "I am confident we shall be able l to obtain convictions in the Hammrni case," said Melvin H.sPurvis, chief ofi the U. S. Bureau of Investigation at ' Chicago. Hamm was kidnaped from near his p brewery June 15. Federal authorities t believe the kidnapers carried him across the Minnesota state line into Wisconsin, thus being liable for p prosecution under federal statutes. f h Pro f. Sundwall g To Lecture On' n a Modern Russia a "Some Impressions of Modern Rus- sia" will be given by Prof. Johns Sundwall, director of the division of hygiene and public health, in a talk at 5 p. m. today in Natural Sciencer Auditorium on the special lecture series.

Pollock To Lecture At Education School Dinner Climaxing the social activities of the summer for the School of Educa- tion, the annual Education Banquet will take place tomorrow night in the Union. The banquet is open to all students and faculty members of the University. Prof. James K. Pollock of the po- litical science department will pre- sent the chief address of the evening 1 on "The Teacher of Governmental -Reform."- WASHINGTON, July 24.-(A)- president Roosevelt tonight called pon all employers in the nation to )ut into immediate effect the volun- ;ary code to shorten working hours nd elevate wage levels. Summoning the country to a quick ttack upon the depression, Mr. loosevelt in a talk to the people an- iounced his purpose to keep posted n the post offices of every town a "ole of honor "of all those who join ith me." "I ask," he said, "that even be- ore the date set in thee agreement vhich we have sent out, the employ- rs of the country who have not al- eady done so-the big fellow and he little fellows-shall at once write r telegraph to me personally at the White House, expressing their inten- ion of going through with the plant. Cites Co-Operation Praising the co-operation so far iven to the attempt for American ndustry to spread work and increase ages, the President said he recog- ized that a few men might try to hwart "this great common purpose y seeking selfish advantages. He noted there are adequate penal- ies in law to meet this but he urged nstead a voluntary co-operation and nnounced this would be the only nstrument "in this great summer ffensive against unemployment." "But we shall use them to the imit," he stated, "to protect the will- ng from the laggard and make the )lan succeed." The President said the American eople "will pull themselves out of his depression if they want to." Mobilize Opinion He expressed his belief 'that the people 'would mobiize their great orce of American public opinion be- iind the plan to divide work and to ive all living wages. "The essence of the plan," he ex- plained, "is a universal limitation of hours of work per week for any in- lividual by common consent, and a universal payment" of wages above a minimum, also by common con- sent."- In his third talk to the nation since his inauguration, the President analyzed the full program which Congress gave him the power to car- ry through. He said the credit of the nation had' been maintained by balancing the budget. The credit of the. in-. dividual, he said, was being main- tained by restoring the purchasing power of the dollar, and by the home-loan act, the farm-loan act and the bankruptcy act. No Pork Barrel He assured there would be no "smell of the pork barrel" in admin- istration of the $3,300,000,000 public works program. Turning to the task of building a "more lasting prosperity," he said, "we cannot attain that in a nation half boom and half broke." Two things, he declared, must be done to find better days: First, im- provement of the prices of farm pro- ducts; second, "bringing flack in- dustry along sound lines." Mr. Roosevelt expressed confidence that farm conditions were improving and would continue so under opera- tion of the farm act. He then went into, his appeal for wholehearted support for the nation- al plan for shorter working hours higher wages. Dog Bites Man; Turns Up Toes; Dies - That's News HASTINGS, Neb., July 24.-(_)-.

To improve rural education and to give new impetus to industrial educa- tion are the two main objectives of the State Department of Public In- struction, Dr. Paul F. Voelker, state superintendent, stated in an address to members of the Michigan Educa- tion Clubs and Pi Lambda Theta at the Union last night. With his appropriation cut from approximately $156,000 to $76,000 this year, Dr. Voelker has been forced to reduce his personnel from 46 to 26 persons and to eliminate some of the work, chiefly the labor involved in filling out and filing cards in child accounting, throwing that re- sponsibility entirely upon the county school commissioners.- Dr. Voelker's confidence in the members of his staff was clearly in- dicated. "The department now has the best set-up that Michigan has ever had," he said, "and we aim to create a long-range plan for Mich- igan education suited to present con- ditions and one that should remain workable for at least ten years." "Education should be moulded not by politicians and bankers, but by educators," he continued, "and the time has come when the educators must together work out a plan to tear down the old and put in the new" The following appointments were announced by Dr. Voelker: Assistant superintendent, Pau Thompson; assistant elementary cu- 2-6.
