Htory Olven
A summary of the operetta la given
below:
Henri, Marquis of Cornevllle, who
has been since childhood, owing to
the civil war, an exile, returns to
hla ancestral home on the occasion
of the great fair which Is being cele
brated In the village that receives
its name from his chateau. It la one
of the old-fashioned Norman villages
of the 17th century.
In the first act, the curtain rises
en a gathering of village gossips,
discussing scandal and small talk
fierpolette, a village tomboy, Is the
toplo of conversation among the girls
fo Cornevllle. She come In Just In
time to turn the tables on the others
and changes their taunt into rage.
Gaspard, an old miser, wishes to
marry hit nloce, tier mains, to ths
principal magistrate of the district,
tha Balllt. Tills arrangement does not
suit Germalne, nor a young fisher
man named Jean Orentcheux, who
pretends that he has saved her life
from drowning on a certain occasion.
To escape from the power of old das
pard. Germalne takes advantage of
tha prlvllcgea of the fair, and becomes
the servant of the marquis Her ex
ample It followed by Qrenlcheux and
fierpolette.
Chateau Seltltur
The second act Is In the hall of
the deserted chateau which belongs
to the Marquis of Cornevllle and tne
ghosts who have supposedly Inhab
ited It for some time and cau.ed
much dread among the villagers.
Henri determines to find out the
real character of the ghostly ap
pearances, and discovers that It Is all
the work of the old miser. Gaspard,
who has concealed hla treasures In
the chateau. The discovery drive
Otspard crazy, especially when he
heart the bells of the chateau ringing
for the first time sinew the flight or
the old marquis.
The third act rrp.Trnted the grand

Collectivism Will Bring Se
curity for All Is Theory
of Columbia Professor
Expressed at Meeting
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Feb. 37.
(AP) E I e v e n speakers expressed
eleven varying viewpoints In a dis
cussion of the teacher's role In a
changing world at the 65th annual
convention of the department of su-
perlntendpnce of the national educa
tion association today.
A Columbia university professor of
education. Dr. Jesse H. Newlon de
clared capitalism la "not a solution
of the difficulties we face In the
United States at this time."
"We are going toward collectivism
until we achieve security for alt
Americans," he predicted.
Economist Has Faith
Prof. Frederick 8. Diebler, of the
economics department of Northwest
ern university, expressed faith In the
"essential soundness of the present
system" and predicted there would
be no change.
"This Is not the first depression,
even though It la the most severe,"
he suld. "Revolutionary changes have
been proposed before. They always
are after a period of depression."
While these speakers took Issue on '
the 'prospect of political change, oth
ers expressed sharp division on the
basic thesis of the discussion "social
change and education."
Indoctrination Hit
An attack on "indoctrination," the
Introduction of new social principles
in tho school room, waa made by
Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of
schools of Washington, D. C.
"As a superintendent I should like
to have help In defining what that
new social order Is for which t he
schools are to prepare " he said.
"Teachers should confine themselves
to giving pupils a clear Idea of the
existing social order, some under
standing of Its strength and weak
nesses." Fred J. Kelly, chief of the division
of higher education of the United
States office of education, declared
indoctrination to some degree Is In
evitable since the teacher is certain
to expose his own point of view In
expounding his subject.
"If the pupils have any respect for
the teacher s opinion," he said, "they
are sure to absorb some of his view
point." Cannot Re Neutral
Prof. Newlon declared that educa
tors cannot be neutral and that they
must choose "between fascism rule
by some privileged group or govern
ment of the people and by the peo
ple." "Powerful enemies are at work to
destroy the freedom of the schools." i
he said,
W. W. Thlssen. assistant superin
tendent of schools of Milwaukee,
Wis., declared It "naive" to place con
fidence in the Judgment of teachers
on social questions when economists.
philosophers and statesmen are at
odds.
"The average of trained teachers Is
not above the levels of normal school
graduates," he declared.
Worth McClure, superintendent of
schools of Seattle, Wash., declared
the aim of schools to be "develop
ment of citizens trained to Individ
ual discipline by a social conscience."
and warned that school organizations
mutt be more flexible.
"We will not be indocrlnated by
patterns of government borrowed
from across the sea," he said.

Congress Power Limited i
In point of law, the Welrton com
pany won Its esse clearly on the con- '
tention that its relationship with Its '
employes does not constitute Inter- i
state commerce and therefore any In- ,
terpretation of the section which !
would regulate that relationship
would make the section void because '
congress Is empowered only to regu
late, buslnesa of an Interstate nature
. In this respect the court also ob
served : 1
"Power to enact 7-A was not con- ,
f erred upon congress by the 'gen- I
eral welfare' recital In the preamble
to the constitution, nor by the 'wel-
fare clause' article one, section clht
of the constitution.
'The preamble confers no power
and the welfare clause Is commonly
considered as a specification of the
p ur pose for wh lch m o ney may be
appropriated and not as a substantive
grant of power.
'The enactment of section 7-A
either Is authorized by the commerce
clause of the constitution or It Is un
authorized and therefore void."
