GRADE MENTALITY v Awrigs of Eicorat Threaias Prospeity, Is Caim Chapel Hill, North Carolina, May 22 UP—Picturing the United States electorate as having an average edu- cation of *“sixth to seventh grade level,” Dr. John William Cooper, federal commissioner of education, told the American Association for Adult Education that this low edu- cation level threatened the country’s social and economic prosperity. “Buch an electorate,” he asserted, “can hardly be expected to solve in- teligently such problems as are pre- sented by our increasingly compli- cated social and economic life.” As one .solution for the problem, Ne recommended further expansion of the adult education movement, whieh provides post-school study for Rdults. Criticism of profesasional educators for failure to make more use of radio was voiced by James G. Mc- Ponald, chairman of the Foreign Policy Association of New York. *“A generation ago,” he said, “the educationalists missed their oppor- tunity to help save the movies from cheap sensationalism. They as group seem unconcerned with the probability of missing a similar op- portunity which may never recur to help make the radio what the mo- vies might have been.” Milton Barre, secretary of the Na- tional Board of Review of motion pictures, suggested the possibility of extension course on the talkies with educational subjects for community clubs. JAIL LIFE BETTER THAN HIKE IN RAIN Two Girls Glad to End Masquer- ade Whea Discovered Mt. Holly, N. J., May 22 UP—Jail life is not s0 bad when the weather continues rainy as at present, it way agreed today by Anna Godzyk, 19, and Josephine Wodyle, 20, whose sortie into the world ended here Monday. They left New York hop- ing to hitch and hike to the souti and prepare for the next winter seu- son. Both girls masqueraded as boys, buying trousers and shirts from the Salvation Army in New York. Their parents live in Manchester, N. H., they said, but they did not want to Feturn there. “We're waitresses and work s scarce in the big town,” they told Ellis Parker, county detective. It was safer and cheaper to travel as boys so, with the duds we bought and boyish bobs, we were all set. But the cop in Moorestown yesterday searched us for pistols and now they want to look up our recorda.” Two women of Mt. Holly, sym- pathizing with th? girls, brought candy and fruit to them in their cell. Another woman brought some girla’ clothing. They expressed gra‘i- tude, said they would keep the clothes, but wanted to retain their “hobo” costumes for further travel. New London Publisher : ‘Named Vice President * Boston, May 22 (M—George }.

C, May 22 ® — Union with the United Presbyterian Church ig North America, having been epproved, the general assembly of the Presbyierian Church in the United States today turned to con- sideration of closer relations with other Presbyterian bodies.

Other publiish- ing firms were considering joining the “rebels,” Brentano said. “I see in the clubs a vicious cycle of standardization,” Brentano said. “They cause a mechanization and atrophy of literary taste which can be checked only by compelling a radical change of policy on the part of the clubs.” Robert Haas, president of the Book-of-the-Month club expressad unconcern over Brentano's state- BANJO AND VIOLIN RECITAL First year banjo and violin pupils of the locul branch of the American Conservatory of Music will take part in a recital tonight at the Y.
