Farm Vocational
Training Aims
Told by Wallace
U. S. Secretary Says System
Must Ultimately Turn Out
Nearly Million Students
Per Year.
Alms of the United State* Depart
ment of ABr*cu^ure *n instructing
young people through vocational
tfaining in farm work are told in a
letter prepared by Secretary of Agri
culture Henry C. Wallace, written to
J, C. Wright, director of the federal
board for vocational education, Wash
ington. Mr. Wallace writes:
"As one of the representatives of
agriculture on the federal board for
vocational education let me express
my pleasure at the gratifying progress
shown by our public schools in the
field of agricultural vocational edu
cation.
"In this country we have 0,400.000
farms producing about , $14,000,000,
000 worth of agricultural products.
There are between 300,000 and 400,000
new fanners taking up the manage
ment of a farm for the first time each
year. For the most part these new
operators are the sons of farmers
who have had experience on their
fathers' farms, but have not had or
ganized instruction that would fit
them to operate farms In keeping with
the change in agricultural conditions.
This phase of education has been neg
lected for many years, but happily
the passage of the Smith-Hughes act
has at last set up a system of edu
cation to meet these needs.
"The agricultural and home eco
nomics vocational education work of
these schools must grow. To meet
the needs of this country it means
that some day when this system of
education is completed we must bo
able to turn out from 300.000 to 400,
000 young men and the same number
of young women each year who will
be trained through classroom instruc
tion and home projects to operate
farms and farm homes.
"If it requires four years to train
young men and young women to
properly take the places in the farm
community; it will mean that we
must have constantly in training
3,500,000 to 3,000,000 young people.
We should not be satisfied until the
agricultural vocational work has
reached at least this number by pro
viding systematic instruction and
project experience under trained in
structors for every young man and
young woman who may desire to be
come a farm operator or a rural
home maker.
"The system of agricultural edu
cation is now quite complete. We
have tlie Department of Agriculture,
the agricultural colleges, and the ex
periment stations doing scientific in
vestigation work. We have the col
leges of agriculture training young
men and young women in the science
of agriculture.
"The agricultural vocational schools
are providing systematic, organized
training for the young men and
women over 14 years of age who are
not able to attend college. The Smith
Lever act provides a system of prac
tical instruction to men, women, boys
and girls, through demonstrations,
that is aimed to bring about an im
mediate improvement in agriculte and
rural life. With such educational
systems of Instruction all working in
close co-operation we should be able
to build up a rural citizenship that
will insure great national growth a^nd
prosperity,”

Observers Rush to Vantage Points
O’
to Witness Total Eclipse of Sun
Scientists Will Photograph Various Phases of Rare
Obscuration—Airplane Cameras Will “Shoot”
Phenomenon at Altitude of 10,000 Feet.
Los Angeles, Sept. 9.—When the
sky unfolds its most impressive page
ant—a total eclipse of the sun—along
the coast of southern California Mon
day, the largest audience in the his
tory of modern science Will be on
hand to view it, according to astrono
mers gathered in this section to
study its various phases.
Total eclipses of the sun are rare,
these men point out, nnd total eclipses
visible in well populated regions are
extremely rare. This year, thdugh
the shadow of the eclipse will cover
less than three-tenths of 1 per cent
of the earth’s surface, that compara
tively narrow shadow, 105 miles
across, will strike a fairly populous
portion of the United States, or will
be within easy reach of a populous
section, and will be visible at the most
favorable time of the year and at
the best time of day for scientific and
lay ot&ervatlon.
Scientists from Yerkes observatory,
University of Chicago, are stationed
on Santa Cutalina island, just oft 'he
coast near Los Angeles, as are
astronomers from the University of
Wisconsin, who will measure the
brightness of the sun's corona.
Another group, from Goodsell oo
servatory, Carleton college, whose
cameras are in position to photograph
the corona and star Held around the
sun with an eight-inch lens and to
obtain "flash spectra" with a refract
ing grating, also is there.
At San Diego, the Mount Wilson
observatory has established a station
at Point Loma to photograph the
corona and the adjacent star field, to
measure the Intensity of corona radia
tion. to make a photographic spec
trum of the corona and chromo
sphere and to determine the wave
length of tjie green coronal line and
the rotation period of the corona.
Another Mount Wilson observatory
station will photograph “flash'' spec
tra with a concave grating, while two
stations of the I^eander McCormick
observatory will work on this same
problem from different vantage points
on the moon's shadow path.
Other scientific expeditions will
view the eclipse from the San Clem
ents island, near Santa Catalina is
land, where telephoto pictures will be
taken from the beginning of first con
tact at 11:28 a. m. to the point of
last contact at 2:18 p. m., and at
Ensenada, across the Mexican border
below San Diego, where the Univer
sity of California's Lick observatory
will be represented.
Among the most Interesting experi
ments to be conducted will be the
attempts of navy aviators to photo
graph the eclipse while flying at an
altitude of lO.hOO feet. It is planned
to have 15 planes In the air, each
equipped wtlh pilot and photographer.
While the eclipse is being reported
accurately and extensively by these
groups of scientists. Its spectular fea
tures will grip the attention of thou
sands of lay observers who for sev
eral days have been Journeying Into
the path of totality.
By steamer to Santa Catalina Is
land, or San Clemente, or by automo
bile to Santa Barbara, San Diego or
Ensenada, these have been making
their way to observation posts where
they may watch the shadow of the
moon racing across the surface of
the earth at a speed of 1 MU miles an
hour. _\

Calamity Brings Japan Closer
to Heart of World, Says Pastor
Rev. W. F.- MacNeill Finds Blessing in Disguise in
Earthquake Disaster—Opportunity
for Christianity.
. /
Tha calamity that has overtaken
Japan Is an opportunity for helpful
service in administering to the spirit
ual needs of a stricken nation, ilev.
W. F. MacNelll, pastor of Grace Bap
tist church. Tenth and Arbor streets,
declared last night in his sermon.
"Christians will hasten to replace
the pagan view of a God of hate with
a view of a God of love," he said.
"Superstitious people In Japan be
lieve th«» gods were angry and struck
the nation. And there are those in
our own land vfcho still hold the judg
ment view of all calamity. But Christ
teaches In the example of the blind
man, and In discussing the case of the
men of Siloum that the real calamity
that befalls a soul Is spiritual death;
physical death may or may not be a
Judgment. It Is often a blessing—the
martyrs for instance. From His view
point calamity presents an opportunity
for helpful service. This is the burden
of His teachings, summed up in the
parable of the Good Samaritan and
proved by His atoning death. Thus
Christians will make all haste to bind
up the physical wounds of the stricken
nation and to minister to awakened
spiritual needs—to replace the pagan
view of a God of hate with the Chris
tian view of the God of love.
Surge of Sympathy.
"The Christian view, furthermore,
regards physical calamity as educative
and symbolic. Educative in that the
lessons contained therein outweigh the
loss sustained. The calling out of
sympathy—the discovery of common
Interests and qualities of character—
the stimulus to Inventiveness—all
these are the benevolent aspects of a
seeming curse. This calamity brings
Japan into the heart of the world and
will make it easier to arrive at a com
mon understanding of problems.
"But physical calamity Is also sym
bolic. It is the picture of a catas
trophe Infinitely more awful—the catas
trophe of bondage to superstition.
The broken home life of Japan, the
moral and spiritual darkness of the
race—the results of enslavement to a
religious philosophy that is atheistic,
pessimistic and degrading; that crum
bles to plecs" at the touch of the
finger of the facts of physical science
—that In this dire time of need has
no help—that not for a day, but for
ages has spread ruin over as fair a
land as e’er the sun shone on—this
is catastrophe indeed.
Opportunity for Christianity.
"And it Is a catastrophe shared In
different guises by the whole ra(* of
men. JThe effects of moral evil are
seen in the fearful ravages of disease,
crime, war. enslavement of body or
soul or both, and ignorance. The
death toll is millions a year and it
goes on and on and on. At every
tick of the watch moral evil chokes
a soul and breaks a heart. The Hible
suggests that even the physical handl
caps under which men labor—earth
quakes, cyclones, pests, drouth, etc.,
are due to the derangement of nature
as part of the penalty for sin, and that
the whole creation groans for the
readjustment: and that In the new
heaven and the flew earth where will
be no suffering—none of the handi
caps as we know them. There will
be plenty of stimuli to discovery but
no "blind alleys.”
"The catastrophe of a world In sin
is overshadowed and redeemed by the
catastrophe of the Son of God on the
cross. Here we have the teaching of
the fatherhood of God and human
brotherhood and the proof of it. For
the heart ache of the individual and of
the nation is the halm of a suffering
and redeeming God. No religion in
The world teaches the love of God hut
the Christian. No religion in the
world teaches the awfulness of sin hut
the Christian. No religion in the world
teaches the sacredness and worth of
personality but the Christian. No
♦eligion in the world releases power
for right living to those that accept
it but the Christian. Get firmly fixed
in mind, heart and experience the
worth of that sacrifice on Calvary and
no calamity of whatever magnitude
can shake vour faith in the love of
God. God is calling this generation
to Himself bv the very catastrophes
(that have nnd are afflicting it. The
cross of Christ is stamped on every
sorrow. If rises luminous across the
black background of the world’s
woe. Its healing flood is the heart
flow of the I,ord. And Its appeal Is
'Come ye sinful, ye weary, ye sorrow
ful, come to Me nnd he healed'."

New York Bonds
New York, Hept -Quick absorption
of the $55,000,000 Argentine bovernment.
and 120.000.000 Union Pacific railroad
issues and the relatives firmness of all
except Japsnese bonds, li view of t h»*
Japanese disaster and Graeco-Italian
crisis, were the features oj last week's
bond market. Trading in listed bonds
was again dull, although there were
temporary bursts of activity in a few
special groups.
New' offerings last week totaled 179.
050.000. as compared with It4.675.000 the
week before.
Books on the Argentine issue, which

proximately 7 ,per cent, were closed with
in two hours after they were opened.
► While banking institutions were heavy
buyers, the syndicate managers also re
ported an unusually good demand from
dealers. The notes will be refunded by
an issue of long term bonds when market
conditions permit.

Against Albania

tions on Adriatic
Neighbor.
By AMnclatfd Press.
Rome, Sept. 9.—Greece, has sent an
ultimatum to Albania, demanding the
delivery within five days of those
responsible for the murder of the
Italian mission, according to Greek
newspapers.
Further postponment of the meet
ing of the council of the league of
nations is taken in Italian circles as
indication that the league prefers to
mark time rather than to reach a
decision which, whatever Its nature,
might lead to the disintegration of
the league.

London, pept. 9.—The Sunday Ex
press correspondent at Athens to
night cabled that Greece had accept
ed the stipulations of the ambassa
dors' (“inference without reserve.
It was generally accepted here to
night that this action by Greece
ended the threatening situation con
sequent upon the murde^- of the
Italian boundary commission at
Janlna, which was followed by the
bombardment and occuin^ion of Cor
fu by Italy and the threat of further
war measures by Premier Mussolini.
