Health to Resign in

Dr. LeRoy Crummer, former
professor emeritus of the Ne

Omaha, died in his Hollywood
home Monday of heart disease. He
was 62. He was born in Eliza
beth, 111., and went to Omaha to
practice after he had received his
degree in Northwestern university.
Because of illness he was forced
to resign his post in medical col
lege in 1929 and a year later he
moved to Hollywcod where he
spent the remainder of his life.
Held Army Position.
During the war he served as
captain in tile - medical corps. In
1929 a degree to doctor oi letters
was conferred upon him by the
University of Michigan where he
took his pre-med degree.
Dr. Crummer was internation
ally known as a collector of early
medical literature, according to
Professor Doane. librarian of the
university. Doane stated this his
collection consisted mostly of
books written before 1640. Dr.
Crummer wrote many articles
about his collection.

Political Science Professor
States Nationalism Is
Strong Force.
Dr. Harold Stoke told the Lions
club at the chamber of commerce
Thursday noon when speaking on
"The World Economic Situation in
the Light of the London Economic
Conference," that "International
conferences are little more than
trading conventions and if several
nations ' find that their interests
coincide, that fact is recorded as
international agreement and the
conference is hailed as a success."
Interests Must Coincide.
He further pointed out that
where no interests coincide there
is little possibility that a confer
ence will be successful. "The popu
lar notion," he stated, "that an in
ternational conference is a place
where some nations make sacri
fices and concessions in order to
help other nations is badly in
error."
"Nationalism is the most power
ful political force in the world,'
Dr. Stoke declared, "and it dic
tates economic as well as govern
mental policies."

WAA ANNOUNCES
Professors Express Approval of
CWS Project to Establish Relief
Study Centers Thruout Nebraska
High confidence in the success
of the relief study centers to be
stationed thruout the state by C.
W. S. under the supervision of the
University of Nebraska extension
division, and hearty approval of
the plan, were the opinions ex
pressed by Dr. F. E. Henzlik. dean
of teachers' college; R. D. Moritz,
also of Teachers college, and Dr.
W. H. Morton, principal of teach
ers college high school when ques
tioned yesterday.
The prospect of obtaining bene
ficial results from the project ap
peared bright to all three.
Plan Appears Sound.
'To me, the CWS projects pro
viding for study centers seems
quite sound, not alone because it
provides employment for many un
employed adults but because it
provides equal educational oppor
tunities for hundreds of boys and
girls and young men and young
womfa that would otherwise be
deprived of education, declared
Dean Henzlik.
Mr. Moritz was equally confi
dent of the scheme. "It has passed
the experimental stage," he said.
"Similar plans of study have been
carried out, altho not with federal
aid. We know what can be done
with maximum efficiency and
minimum cost. There is no doubt
about the practicability of the
scheme.

endorsement, &1 sounded ft note

Agriculture Meeting Ends
Thursday; Extension
Worker Talks.
Organized Agriculture meetings
on Ag college campus ended Thurs
day afternoon with a discussion of
the government's present farm pro
gram by B. H. Hibbard, Univer
sity of Wisconsin, which sent sev
eral hundred Nebraska farm peo
ple home chuckling and in good
spirits.
Grace Frysinger, U. S. D. A. ex
tension worker, preceded Hibbard
on the closing program Thursday,
discussing "The Farm Family
Looks Forward." The morning was
devoted to business meetings of
the livestock producers, dairymen,
and other special groups.
Two things, Hibbard pointed out,
must be assumed in any attempt
to predict the probable outcome of
the present governmental policy of
crop reduction and control: (1) We
will continue under the regime of
private property, (2) we will re
tain our present form of govern
ment States Present Policy.
The present policy, Hibbard said,
is to make "America self-contained."
We propose to stay at home
and get along with what we have.
That means cutting, down produc
tion, because if we don't buy from
other countries they cannot buy
from us.
To cut production in the steel
Industry, for example, he said, is

of caution. "It is a very fine move
ment," he said. "Similar plana
show that a very good response
thru the state can be expected.
There is no reason why college
and high school credits should not
be given for the work done if the
standards are not lowered. They
wouldn't have to be lowered but
the danger is that they may be.
Level of work must be watched."
A prophetic element in the
movement was also discerned by
Doctor Morton. T think that this
is indicative of a like, permanent,
project in the future and of an ex
panded education program. This is
recognition on the part of the fed
eral government that education is
a method of employing people
gainfully, of giving them oppor
tunities for developm nt of the in
tellect, of providing them with a
use for their increasing leisure
time, and of educating them for
other profitable uses of leisure
time. This is just the beginning. I
believe it will eventuate into
permanent plan of this type."
Age Limit Rises.
Mr. Morton also pointed out
that since the age limit for the
employment of young people la
steadily rising, some such plan is
very advisable to take care of the
period from graduation from high
school to the time of employment.
