Tells of Opportunity Plan.
( Miss Emily Griffith of Denver
was the first speaker. Her subject
was "The Opportunity School - of
Denver." She emphasized the good
done by the school, through the
elasticity of its rules, 'The school
opens at 7:30 a. m., and remains
open until, 9.30 p. m. Pupils may
remain all day or only half an hour,
and they may enter the "Opportun
ity School" even though they never
before have been in school, she ex
plained. "We keep our school close to in
dustry." said Miss Griffin. "To that
we owe our. success. If there is a
need for cobblers we teach that
trade, if there is a need for tailors
we teach tailoring."
E. A. Steiner of Grinnell, la.,
speaking on "The Elements of
Youth in National Life" declared
that "history has taught us noth
ing." ,-13!!
Greed Kills Nations.
"If history taught us the saying
that history repeats itself it would
be untrue. Nations die of greed,
envy and hate. We are as simple
and unsophisticated as children. Our
- country will not die from Ellis Is
land up; it will die from Fifth ave
nue down.
"The United States will endure
while nations of Europe fall and arc
forgotten, if we give the individual
a chance. Not until the economic
well-being of the common masses
is assured will our nation be safe.
We must give the common people
a good education and the best pos
" sible physical background. Then
will come a time when the man is
bigger than the gun."

"The war brought some of those
countries to a realization of the fal

soldier boys realise now that they

Ulster Cabinet
Rejects Plan for
Peace in Ireland
Object to Loss of Representa
tion in Parliament and Sinn
Fein Control in Proposed
Irish Council.
London, Nov. 11. (By The As
sociated Tress.) The Ulster cabinet
today rejected the government's
plan for a settlement of the Irish
question, on the ground that it con
tained fundamental principles which,
under existing conditions, were im
possible of attainment. The Ulster
ministers, however, are putting for
ward counter proposals.
A communique issued by the
northern Ireland cabinet suggests
that the government should consider
these counter proposals before the
proposal meeting of the British and
Ulster cabinets.
The suggestions put forward by
the imperial government were re
ceived late last night and were con
sidered. The Ulster cabinet is
drawing up a detailed reply which
it is hoped to forward shortly.
Fundamental Principles. '
"As. however, certain fundamental
principles are involved in the sug
gestions which under existing cir
cumstances are impossible of attain
Goal
a v
ment, Sir James Craig (the premier),
with the unanimous approval of hi
colleagues, has informed the prime
milliliter that no useful purpose
would be served by holding a for
mal consultation between his ma
jesty's government and the govern
ment of northern Ireland until cer
tain suggestions in the government i
proposals are withdrawn.
"The formal reply of the Ulster
cabinet win muicye other and more
practicable means of securing pesce
without infringing upon the right
of Ulster."
The Ulster cabinet ministers were
summoned here recently by Sir
James Craig to consider the gov
ernment's vrooosals. and they met
this forenoou to discuss the plan for
a settlement of the Irish question
which was contained in a statement
from the British ministry. This, as
noted in the communique, was re
ccived last night, and was under
stood to be in the form, of certain
definite suggestions for a scheme, in
which Ulster was asked to join, for
an all Ireland parliament.
Ulster's objection to the plan is
believed to be that it would deprive
her of representation in the imperial
parliament, which she regards as her
strongest safeguard, and also' that it
would give the Sinn Fein a majority
on the proposed central council for
all Ireland.
