Education for Life (Philadelphia Record) Words of wisdom on the subject of education for both schools and parents have come out of the West the past few days From the University of Minnesota we learn of its General College, which begins where other colleges stop—with those who fail. The cc believes that \ough the undergraduates who flunk out of colleges ) very year can't be made into good doctors, engineers, lawyers or teachers, they can be made into com- petent citizens The college avoids highly specialized courses and instruction in such subjects as biography and problems of the home. The college admits t it hasn't found a complete answer, since—al- 1gh no students percent quit each year. Northweste ity, we learn from Dr J. B. Morgan, director of the institution’s psy- logical clinic, that parents who are overly ambiti- for their offspring provide most of the subjects for clinic. He explains that too many fathers who re moderately successful bankers insist that their ns be big bankers; too many mothers who wanted to opera singers but couldn't insist that their daugh- be opera singers, We are glad that something ives seneral John be ter is being done—by in one tance by calling to the difficulty in the oth t0 remove approaches to life on the part of schools Children will be a lot happier, and the world better off if schools will admit that they can’t fit all students into definite patterns of training, and try instead to change the training; and if parents will admit all their children can’t be “big shots. Education of children, by schools and by parents, should be for life and not for the sake of reaching a definitely scheduled goal that may not be so im- portant after all Short Cut te Senate (Cleveland Plain Dealer) | President Roosevelt stopped off in Kentucky on his way west in the summer of 1938 to keep “Happy” | Chandler out of the United States Senate. This week andler will step into the Senate. Kentucky took |the President’s advice but death intervenes now to modify the result Chandler, defeated by Senator Barkley in 1938, |is now to succeed Senator Logan, who died last week. | Chandler's resignation as Governor elevates Keen | Johnson to the executive office, and Johnson testifies to his appreciation by appointing Chandler to the vacant Senate seat. This has been done at times in other states. Kentuckians like their “Happy’—as his nickname implies—and will raise no objection to his adoption of the short cut to Congress. In the exchange of Logan for Chandler the Ad- ministration will lose a 100 percent New Dealer for . who describes himself as 50 percent for the New Deal.

On awak- ening there may be a sense of futil- ity and frustration, but this will be overcome by those who attend church and set aside time for self examination. The afternoon and ening are encouraging to leaders, The clergy should benefit. Warning is given that prejudice should not interfere with non-denominational movements toward higher moral standards. Heart and Home: An inclination o criticize may be prevalent among members of the family during the breakfast hour may be salutary and should be ac- septed in good spirit. Elderly per- ns may be dictatorial and parents reproachful when domestic expenses e mentioned. The evening is aus- picious for association with persons »f prominence, but it promises little for romance. The Sunday visitor may be a boy friend who avoids the | possibility of becoming engaged Business Affairs: The coming week hould be profitable to those who| :ommand capital. Banks and bank- ars will exercise added power, for 1ew enterprises of large scope will, se projected in the next few weeks ingineers and chemists are to enjoy 1 period of extraordinary activity The stars smile upon thoroughly rained scientists.

Riots are indicated in certain ndustrial centers, The golden rule| hould be studied and applied as 1ever before. International Affairs: Uranus, a blanet of great influence in the life f Hitler, near the Ascendant, in-; lines toward eccentricity and ego- ism. It encourages obstinacy and stubborn determination that takes 10 advice and blindly pursues a spec- al course of action. Portents most hreatening te the dictator's health 1s well as to his final experiences in n amazing career that will close vithin a few years are discerned Persons whose birthdate it is have he augury of a year of good for- une. Association with new friends ~ill be beneficial. { Children born on this day should of high ambiticns and Kindly 1ature. They may be complex in haracter and gifted in unbsual vays. They should be wisely direct- d from childhood. and tely e MONDAY, OCTOBER 23 This is an unimportant day in slanetary direction. It will be prof- table for those who postpone defin- te decisions and important activi- ies. There is a faintly benefic in- duence for initiative and for retail merchandising. Executives should {ind the date auspicious for plan- 2ing and for analyzing the charac- ers of employzes. Heart and Home: Parents come mder a sway that promises more heed to their good advice as young J{olk encounter special problems. Un- der this configuration there may be an urge toward public service. Boys may discuss enlistment in the army or the navy. Girls may desire to be- Zin training as nurses. At a time 1ot far distant the inclination may Je recognized as a forecast of na- tional needs. Business Affairs: This is another day for routine buying and selling. Newspapers and the radio will focus attention as free speech and its limi- tation are discussed. Editors will profit, but there will be definite changes among those who direct publications. Two foreign correspon- dents are to gain fame after under- 20ing remarkable experiences in Eu-' rope. Men and not women are to be successful in important foreign as- signments. National Issues: In coming months President Roosevelt is to gain popu- larity as reasons for certain criti- cized policies are revealed to the people. His ruling planets, Uranus and Saturn, give him understanding regarding human needs. Effort to- ward world peace will be miscon- strued, but it is indicated that the head of the United States govern- ment has accepted what is inevi- table in European developments and has been long preparing for nation- al exigencies. Much secrecy will be maintained in Washington through coming weeks, International Affairs: Events in Europe will affect the stock market 50 that sudden fluctuations will be noted, but they may appear contra~ dictory to usual trends. Speculation in raw materials needed for arma- ments will furnish material for a scandal originating in New York City.

Persons whose birthdate it is have the r -~y of a year of physical strain - _com overwork or over-an- xiety. It is wise not to borrow trou- ble, for the stars promise surcease of financial anxiety.

His dogs, straggling wet and driv- erless coming into camp told a mute tale of the accident. Searchers retracing the dogs’ trail found a hole in the weak ice of a deep slough that told the rest. The Ferguson family formerly lived in Douglas where Warren is remembered to have pushed a groc- ery delivery wheelbarrow for Paddy ox. In 1917 the Ferguson family moved to the Kotzebue Sound area where they had mining interests. Warren, with his brother Archie, built a northern empire, owning trading posts at Deering, Kotzebue, Selawik and Shungnak, hydraulic gold placers at the head of the Kobuk, lighterage companies and river freighters, fur farms, a saw- mill, an airline, and other inter- ests. Further details of Ferguson's death yesterday are lacking. It is known, however, that efforts were continuing today towards recovery of his body Junior Mixer Held, School Gymnasium The Junior Mixer was held last night in the Grade School gym- nasium and dancing was the main diversion of the evening.

GERMAN-SLOVAK NEW AGREEMENT BERLIN, Oct. 21.—Germany has agreed to return to Slovakia sll areas taken by Poland since the formation of Poland and Czecho- slovakia following the World War. A German-Slovak agreement specified the return of areas taken by Poland in 1930, 1934, and 1938.
