Child W anderers in Labor Fields Live Like Gypsies Traveling Schools Started in Cali fornia to Meet Unusual Situation San Francisco Addressing the twenty-fifth annual conference of the National Child Labor Committee held in San Francisco, Dr. George B. Mangold, professor of sociology at the University of Southern Cali fornia, deplored the increasing prevalence of migratory child labor in this country, and declared that "gypsies" are being made out of hundreds of these children. Dr. Mangold explained the increase in the number of young children who travel from place to place engaging in different kinds of work as due to the cheap automobiles which put the homes of thousands of people on wheels or in auto camps, and also the temptation for boys to travel, expecting "lifts" from motorists. The children roam from place to place, picking fruit and vegetables, and later assisting in the canning and preserving industries. Instead of learning habits of steadiness and of industry, they are subjected to a wide variety of contacts which is bound to have a far-reaching effect. He urged stricter child labor laws, traveling schools for migratory chil dren, and regulation of labor camps where thev live. Mrs. Liilian B. Hill, chief of the bureau of attendance and migratory schools, described the California program for the education of the migrant child. There are. about 40. 000 children in California who have no permanent residence, but who migrate from county to county dur ing the entire year following the different crops. Miss Hill stated, and to meet their needs a special fund tor the niilntcuHiice of iincratorv sc-ooli vuo established by the Legislature.

E. A. Meeting. Atlanta., Ga., July 2. Two gen eral sessions and a series of depart mental meetings Tuesday stressed the purpose of the 67th convention of the National Education association education for a new world. Heading the reports was that of the propaganda committee, which held that all schools should be se curely safeguarded against propa ganda. Children should be taught "how to think" not "what to think," the report said. Meanwhile, delegates also were faced with the problem of choosing between Miss Ruth Pyrtle of Lin coln. Neb., and Miss Effie MacGregor of Minneapolis, nominees for the presidency of the association, not to mention nominees for 11 vice presi dencies, other officers and board members from states. The elections take place Wednesday. Finds School Lacking. A. C. Eldridge of Cleveland told secondary school principals that more personable teachers were needed. He said students deserved instructors of whom they could be proud. L. S. Rugg, Alexandria. La., found that the "undeniable right of every child to develop to the limit of his native ability seems to be lacking in the average school. Loy Elmer Morgan, editor of the journal of the National Education as sociation, addressing the national congress of parents and teachers, an allied organization, asserted schools and airports would be the dominant landmarks of the future. Close on Thursday. The flyer, he said, would stimu late mental growth just as would the parent-teacher alliances, one in a material, and the other a spiritual way. The convention will close Thurs day. The propaganda report said: "The propagandist is knocking at the school door. In some instances he has already been admitted. There is nothing to indicate he will over look the schools in the future. "The teacher's mind is open on all subjects. The main purpose of propaganda, therefore, is to teach what to think, while the guiding purpose of education is to teach how to think. "The welfare of children is the primary function of a public school and is the only legitimate basis for acceptance or rejection of material offered for school use. Constant alertness is the price of freedom from one-sided statements. Independence Urged "The school should guard against casting the minds of children in cer tain inflexible moulds modeled along the lines of current practice. "The privilege of outsiders to ad dress school assemblies and classes should be definitely controlled by edu cational authorities. "The difficulty of the propaganda problem will be lessened when al' schools are supplied with adequate funds so that no school will be com pelled to rely on gifts and donations from the outside." Dr. Edwin Mims of Vanderbilt university, addressing the rural edu cation department, pictured the south as hesitating to climb aboard the great American bandwagon of mod ernism. Upholding southerners in avoiding extremes, the speaker declared they were holding hack for themselves and the good of the nation. WED 46 YEARS, SEEKS DIVORCE AND ALIMONY Los Angeles. July 2.

Human Factor Found Supreme in All Business Governor Tells North Carolina Bank ers That Character Is Big Thing That Counts. Asheville, N. C. The first and supreme problem in banking, as in every other department of life, is the human problem, O. Max Gardner, Governor, told the North Carolina Bankers' Association in annual ses sion here, and the most successful banker is the man who. with a large and far-seeing unselfishness, best serves his community and his fel lowman. The importance of the human and personal element enters in all busi ness transactions. It is, Governor Gardner declared, just about of su preme importance. In the final analy- ! sis the banker does not extend the loan because the security is good or because the collateral is ample, but because of the charcter of the man seeking the loan. "The normal basis of business, and particularly of the banking business, is faith in the character, integrity and ability to make their promises good of the individual men and wom en who engage in business," he con cluded. Discussing what he termed the "puzzle of American prosperity," he said it could at least be defined nega- ; tively. "In the first place," he said, "gen eral prosperity is possible only to the extent that raw materials are pro cessed and adequate to supply needs; and, in the second place, this process is. in its broadest sense, dependent upon the elimination of waste. One of the greatest of the forces that make prosperity, re continued, is adaptability. He recited the mar velous changes natural science has wrought in our methods of living. "The influence of science upon hu man life and activity is incalculable," he asserted, "and it is a significant 'fact that only those progressive com panies which have kept abreast of the times have prospered." Competition, he said, has always been and will continue to be, in varying degree, the life of trade. Moreover, individual initiative must remain the corner stone of all in dustrial progress. On the other hand, he said, the immense advantage of financial strength gained from merg ers must be considered, and this strength makes it possible for plant changes to keep abreast of the times. Scientific taxation and efficiency in government were given as the one other great factor in the Governor's opinion which has a direct bearing on prosperity. The total tax burden has become so large, state and local, he continued, that of necessity we must give thought not only to our capacity to pay the total amount levied annually, but to the direct and indirect economic consequences of this drain on productive capital. This is, however, Governor Gard ner said, only one aspect of the sit uation. It is Just as important to spend tax money wisely as it is to raise it upon an equitable and nat ural scientific basis.

Crashes Threaten Ban on Stunt Flights Nine Lose Lives Within Week on Long Island Fields; Author ities Plan Action. Roosevelt Field, N. Y.. July 2. The series of air disasters near this field in the last 10 days may result in adoption of a rigid ban on "stunt, flying" all over Long Island and in the metropolitan district, it develop ed today. The cycle of fatal accidents, which reached its climax yesterday in the death of Wilmer Stultz, trans atlantic aviator, and two compan ions, has aroused the ire of airport authorities, Department of Commerce officials and others interested in aviation. Air crashes have claimed nine lives in the last week. The death of Stultz, who plunged to earth in his Waco biplane after going into a tailspin at a height of 500 feet. Investigators for the Department of Commerce, poking around in the wreckage of the plane, found evi dence to indicate Stultz's passengers. Edward Harwood and Pasquale Cas telluccio, had unwittingly "frozen" the dual controls of the little plane, thereby making it impossible for the pilot to right the ship when it went into its spin. While this discovery may possibly explain the cause of the accident, it does not absolve Stultz from blame. Col. N. J. Boots, vice president and general manager of Roosevelt field, declared. He said Stultz violated one of the first provisions of the univer sal flying code when he took his plane into the air without first mak ing sure the dual controls in the passenger's cockpit had been discon nected. Stultz was a pilot of wide exper ience, who first learned to fly dur ing the world war. The high spot of his career was reached last year when he piloted the Friendship, carrying Miss Amelia Earhart from Tiepassey, N. F., to Burry Port. Wales. bmaha Bee-News.

The districts where the paving will be made this year will include that on Pershing avenue south to Pat terson avenue, making the only through paved street into the South Park neighborhood and furnishing a long needed highway into that part of the city, this district being created last year but was held up in a con test of the petition but was finally decided in favor of the proponents of the paving an1 the city will now have the work carried out. The paving on North Eleventh street, extending some five blocks will also be in the bidding for the summer paving program and will cover a street where there has been a strong effort for a number of years to secure the paving and which fin ally led to the residents there fav oring the paving securing the neces sary sixty per cent of the resident abuting property owners to present to the council anJ where under the law the district was created. On Elm street from Fifth to Sixth there will be a block of paving placed in by the request of the property owners who will then have paving around the north, east and west sides of the block and this will make a. very fine cut over street from the Fifth street paving to that of Sixth. While a district was created on South Fifth street on the iniative of the council, the fact that the residents there are not favorable to the matter will cause this district to be left out of the proposed pav ing program for the year.
