"A—6 » N.R. A COURSES | IN COLLEGE HIT President Neilson of Smith College Tells Alumnae Liberal Arts Value. Resisting attempts of certain in- fluences to put into college curricula | “courses in the National Recovery Ad- ministration” and vocational courses, Dr. William Allan Neilson, president of Smith College, defended last night the “tried” principles of liberal arts education. : Speaking to graduates of Smith at their alumnae association banquet at the Carlton Hotel Dr. Neilson said education was interpreting modern | life in the light of the past, but pro- vided more valuable training than could be given in courses merely en *“acts of the last Congress.” Dr. William A. Orton, professor of | economics at the college, recom- mended that Government-investigat- ing bodies should be forced by law to summarize their findings in a sin- gle volume to sell for about $1, so the “man on the street” could buy it, read and understand. He recom- mended also that in every post office there should be a counter for the sale of valuable Government publications. In the mass of publications now is- suing from Washington, he raised the question that it is a “difficult line to draw between information and propa- THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

MIAMI, Fla, January 19.—Crime inal Court Judge E. C. Collins, who sentenced Giuseppe Zangara to prison for the wounding of four persons in an attempt to assassinate the then President-elect Roosevelt at Miami, was indicted by the Dade County grand jury yesterday on charges of ac~ cepting a bribe and embezzlement. Judge Collins, immediate past pres- ident of the Florida Baptist Conven- tion, is attending the annual meeting of the convention at Deland. Zangara was later convicted of the murder of Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago and electrocuted. The indictments charged Judge Collins accepted $270 to “set aside {and vacate sentence theretofore pro- | nounced upon the said J. W.

President Neilson, speaking of voca- tional courses. declared the “liberal college was never meant to train for a livelihood “It is preliminary to professional ! trainirg,” he said, “and should not go too far into immediate or transient conditions of the moment.” In answer to the- proposal that courses in the N. R. A. should be in- cluded in the college, he asked what tried and true courses of education should be displaced, Describing the education of a girl for marriage, Dr. Neilson said: “If, as is the case with the vast ma- Jority of our graduates, she is going to marry and have to conduct the household, the best preparation for that is not a course in dietetics OY‘ household management, but a course that will make her a broadminded hu- with sympathy broad to understand her neighbors, d and her children, even oesn't know at all while she ge, what kind of husband or what kind of children she is going to have. “It is beyond the wit of any faculty to contrive a course that will give her that immediate kind of prepara- tion. Business of College. “There is no question in my mind that the general broadening of ca- pacity and the training of the power of thought and the developing of the imagination are our business. And these can be done better with tried materials than they can be done with questions phrased in the jargon of | the moment.” Mrs. Harriet Bliss Ford, resident trustee of Smith, presided at the ban- quet, which concluded a day of activ- ity for the national Smith College Alumnae Association. More than 300 graduates were taken to several func- tions throughout the city. They vis- ited the Folger Memorial Library in the morning and were received by Mrs. Roosevelt at the White House | at noon. A tea for secondary students and their parents was given at the club house of the American Associa- tion of University Women, and a tea | for alumnae at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J.

By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, January 19.—Remi- niscing about his famous kinsman, Twain, in an address commemorating the centennial of the birth of the humorist, Cyrill Clemens, president to the Mark Twain Association, yes- terday told the following amusing anecdote: Mark Twain, it seemed, had Har- riet Beecher Stowe as a neighbor when he lived at Hartford, Conn. The humorist went to pay a farewell call when the authoress of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was about to leave on & trip. When he returned his wife said: “Oh, you went to see her without your tie or your hat” Twain then bundled up the tie and the hat and sent them to Mrs. Stowe with the message, * “Here's a visit from the rest of me.” Influenza Drives Hollywood Film Colony to Resorts Flee to Desert and Mountains to Escape Epidemic of Illness.
