C. S. Boucher
Tells School
Differences
. .. In' Two Systems
Chancellor C. S Boucher In an
address to the Hiram club, Wed
nesday noon, spoke on the differ
ences between educational pro
grams under a democratic system
and under a dictatorship.
"The United States probably
has achieved a more rapid and
more nearly sound development of
its educational system under a
program that has permitted ini
tiative and genius to assert them
selves locally, than could have
been done If an attempt had been
made to maintain uniform devel
opment in all localities, and at all
levels, under federal control,"
Boucher said.
School Under Dictatorship.
He pointed to the Hitler regime
as an example of what can hap
pen to schools under a dictatoship,
and stressed that schools under
highly centralized control may
easily become channels for daily
dissemination of the propaganda
of the dominant party.

MARY ELLEN BROWN. .
. . , Receives service certificate.
The award, announced at the
recent meeting of the Association
of Land Grant Colleges in Chi
cago, is given only once in four
years to a member of the Ne
braska extension service staff who
has put in long service with the
organization.
Miss Brown has been associated
with extension work in Nebraska
for more than 25 years. She be
gan work with the service in June,
1917, serving in the State 4-H Club
office for six years. She then
transferred to the position of state
supervisor of the home demon
stration department In 1923,
Parr went to Cairo and from there
he .hitch-hiked toward the front
lines for he had heard of the bat
tle of Mareth. From the public
relations camp near the front, he
took a truck and drove very near
the artillery line where he watched
shells' exploding unto the narrow
front near the sea.
Italians Surrender.
Some days later returning to
Gabes, Parr and another corre
spondent saw about 100 men atop
a ridge with the sun behind them.
They seemed to be running to pick
up something, seemingly rifles.
Parr and his companion pulled out
their two rifles and a rusty ma
chine gun which neither knew how
to operate. The 100 men happened
to be Italians and. more afraid of
the Americans than they, were of
trem. The other correspondent
shouted to them in Italian, "Do
you wish to surrender?" They as
sumed a hurt expression and one
said, "We will if you want us to
but we've already surrendered
once four miles down the road."
When Parr returned to Gabes
the Germans made the only bomb
ing that really bothered the allies.
The real damage was slight bu
Parr narrowly escaped from be
ing killed when a bomb fell only
fiO feet from where he was sleep
ing under a clump of trees. The
liomb did not explode. Parr said
"I have had many closer squeaks
while driving in town."
