MTOFORD MATT, TRTBTJKE, HfEDFOKD, 'OREflOX, TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1020. PAOE SEVEN 'EDUCATION RETARDED ey SOLONS Organized Movement in Legislatures to Curtail Public Education, Charge Made By President of N. E. A Attitude Indi cates Backward Swing, Is i- Assertion. " ATLANTA, July 2. P The charge that there were organized movements afoot in most state ; legislatures to curtail public edu cation today was before tho Na- tional Education association con-1 ventlon, whoso representative as sembly gathered for Us first formal meeting. ' The charge was made by Dr. V. , V. Lamkln, president of the asso ciation, In the course of an ad-: dress to summer- students of the University of Georgia at Athens, j Declaring that only one of the state legislatures which havo met in the last 12 months had shown whole-hearted support of public education, Dr. Lamkln said tho at titude of lawmakers generally in dicated a backward swing which ultimately would lead to "deplor able conditions." Ho urged all teachers to fight the efforts of the enemies of educational progress. Dr. Augustus O. Thomas, Maine state commissioner of education and president of tho World Fed erations of Education associations, addressing a Second F.aptit church audience, declared that women have written the most bril liant page In history since college doors were opened to them hardly a generation ago. Since then, he said, women have advanced from non-property owning citizens to holders in their own names of 42 per cent of the national wealth. Far From Goal But, ho said, education's goal was Tar from realized. He pointed out that but one and one-half per cent of tho public and private In omc was spent for education, while crime costs accounted for nearly nine per cent. The mora spent on education, he said, meant that much less expended to detect, ap prehend and punish criminals. Tho names of Miss 13. Ruth Pyrtlc of Lincoln, Neb., and Miss Efflo MacCJregoi Of - Minneapolis, were placed In nomination for tho presidency of the association. The election of all officers and directors TEA ORANGE PEKOf The right tea for summer thirst. Wholesome, full flavored.. . perfect when ICED CIO O L PLEASURE for cacti blatu will bo held Wed nestluy, A code of plhU-tj fur school teachers, prepared by a special committee that had spent five years in its preparation, was unanimous ly adopted by the asrtociatlon. The code embodies many clauses never embodied In any similar doc ument and includes unions ltd pro visions: "The school room Is not tho proper theatre for religious, politi cal or personal propaKunda. "Tho teacher should not permit his educational work to bo used for partisan politics, personal gain or selfish propaganda of any kind." SAX FHANi.'LSOO, July 2. ) Dr. Henry Neumann of Brook lyn, N, V., a leader of tho Society for Ethical .Culture, told the Na tional Conference on Social Work here today that "more than one public school does Its part not to prevent wrongdoing but actually to encourage it." ijr. Neumann declared that lack of equipment for studying pupils as individuals, overworked teach e rs a ml "a w oo d e n d u 1 1 1 1 ess of teaching' were some of tho reasons fur his statement. Ho declared that the public school would he "a far more effective agency for tho pre vention of delinquency when It alters Its whole outlook." Easy to Make Your Present Car Look Like New 'One reason why the automobile manufacturers expect to build 6,- 000.000 new cars in 1929 is because of the style and beauty appeal. Bui for every person who will break in a new car during the year, about four will bo making their present car do tho transportation Job," says Sum Jennings, local Flak tire dealer. 'Any standard car of no matter what year, can be given an entire ly different appearance by tho ad dition of a few well selected ac cessories, that harmonize with the general design. A new bumpc.. l'owI lights and chromium plated headlamps arc among the acces sories which economically may be used to doll up tho family bus for another year's use. Add a set of new tires all around, both for tho sake of safety and appearance, and if the paint is o. k. you'll have a car that can take its place in any company. 1 Dr. Ray F.

ANOTHER PLOTTER CTARIN'Q at the ceiling with fever-reddened eyes, Julian re mained until aroused by a knock at the door. Captain Despard en tered; a tall, commanding figure whose fripperies of laces, velvets and embroidery seemed but to ac centuate his resolute strength. Vastly fine, George!" nodded the Invalid. "Thou'rt a comely creature. 'Tis to be hoped madam appreciates tbee duly, George, even unto matrimony." Madam?" murmured the can- tain, lifting an eyebrow. "Ay She, George, with a capital S!

' "And yet," Bald the captain, "given certain circumstances, friendship even such as yours, might come to a determination, and die?" "My dear George," Julian sighed reproachfully, "friendship such as mine shall never end but with my life." "Your life, Julian?" "My life?" Julian laughed softly and stared up at the bed-tester again. "But, George," said he, "I have made particular provision, should Death leap on me sudden and unannounced a statement documentary, George, that shall to the world declare the wherefore and precise reason for such friend ship as this ot mine for thee." "Referring to your duel," said the captain suddenly; "art so sure, so confident o' the outcome?" " 'Tis beyond all doubt, George. 'Twill be Joy to feel Dick writhe upon my steel.

The Black Horse was a tow browed, tumble-down little ale house across the wide green from the uuyfford Arms. On weather-worn bench before this tavern. Sir Richard sprawled with 4 mug of ale at his elbow, though the day wis so young that dew sparkled In the grass.

At last he stirred and had grasped the half-emptied tankard on the table before him when my lady Helen came riding joyously across the green. ' Now beholding her thus suddenly, he made her a profound obeisance with wide-armed flourish of slopping ale mug. "Ma'm," quoth he, "all ham" "How, sir, are you so shamefully fuddled thus early In the day?" "Hardly so, yet, ma'm. Howbelt, give me but time and " "Odious!" she exclaimed. "You look sufficiently sottish and dis solute, sir. I bid you good-bye!" and, wheeling her horse, she can tered away. Suddenly he heard a shrill scream and, glancing up, had the vision of a small, flying shape, (elt his booted leg clasped by a paint ing, sobbing creature. The child gasped and sobbed distressfully, staring up at him Id passionate appeal "Why, how now," said he, strok ing back her long, disordered curls; "who are you?" "Shurl Camlo and they wants to beat me!" she gasped; "them yonder." And Bhe pointed wildly towards two men hurrying acroBs the green, but who now belted, staring at Sir Richard. her contempt for Sir Richard. But as they stared thus hesitant. a horseman appeared, a young and particularly sharp-looking man, he frowned at bis two men, he glanced at Sir Richard, remarking his shabby attire, the fact that he wore no sword (that emblem ot rank) and pounced without more ado. Hey, you on the bench, hand over my prisoner!" Sir Richard curled a lock of the child's silky hair round bis finger. You are a Romany, a gypsy, eh. Shurl?" he questioned. "A Romany chl, 1 he's," she an swered, "but a tacbey Romany." Ill, you there, are ye deaf?" cried the horseman. "And where," said Sir Richard, smiling down into the small gypsy's wistful eyes, "do you live, child?" "1 lives In the wesh, brother." "And what Is a 'wesh'?" enquired Sir Richard, but at this moment the horseman rode up to them: "Look 'ee, you, sir, I'm Mr. Bat- tleby. Sir John Parret's new bailiff, j and yon gypsy Drat was caugnt poaching In Sir John Parret's spin ney, d'ye hear? 'And, child, what do you mean hv a 'wash'?" reneated Sir Richard: but, before she might answer, Mr. I Battleby leaned from his saddle and, reaching forth his rldlng-crop, ' rapped Sir Richard upon the shoul- , der he rapped once, he rapped twice then the crop was wrenched from him and bis horse, flicked ! across the nostrils, reared sudden ly and galloped away, leaving Mr. Battleby sprawling before them. Sir Richard nodded and tossed the hunting-crop at him: "Mr. Battleby, sir." said he, "you may follow your horse." But Mr. Battleby was so Ill-advised as to snatch the hunting-crop and leap to his feet, ferocity and dire menace In every line of him. He came with a bound, up swung the heavy crop to whliz Inches wide ot the mark, A swirl of voluminous cost talis, a stamp of spurred heels, and Mr. Battleby was down again, while Sir Richard felt his brooding heaviness lifted from him. "Ah, but you shall pay for this!" Battleby cried. "I shall Instantly Impart the matter to Sir John Par ret himself!" ' "Peace, chatterbox," Sir Richard roared.
