A state ment urging all citliens to take part la this celebration has ,been released by President Franklin ^ Rooeevelt through the Natlon- dB Education Association. This -'"^bcaslon will be observed by - schools^and civic organisations thronghont the United States during the 1934-35 school term, under the leadership of the De partment of Secondary Sduca- Uon of the Katipnal Education Association. President Roosevelt says: “The year 1935 ushers in an Important anniversary in the life of the American people. Three hundred years ago the itirst American high school—the mA^ton Latin School—was found- raT It was established in 1635 only fifteen short years after the landing of the Pilgrims. From a small beginning with one instructor and a handful of stu dents has grown the splendid service now provided for more than 6,000,000 young Americans by 26,000 public and private high schools. These schools are developing the most precious re source of our nation, the latent intelligence of our young people. It is worth noting that social pro gress in the United States is following swiftly on the heels of the remarkable e.\ponsion of edu cational opportunity at the high jjschool level. ^ “I hope that the young people of every high school in the Unit ed States will celebrate this three hundredth anniversary. 1 hope they will celebrate it in a manner which will bring vividly before parents and fellow towns men the significance, the con tribution and the goals of their schools.” This event will l>e known as the Tercentenary of the .\meri- can high school. It will com memorate the Uounding of the “I’M ALL SET for onc of those old- fashioned Winters! I just got my self a bureau-drawerful of Hanss Heavyweight Champions.

This school gave “free instruction at public expense to all who desired to study Latin in preparation (or the professions of law, naviga tion, medicine, and theology.” In 1935, more than 5,000,000 boys and girls in 20,000 high schools will benefit from tbe tradition o f public education that was established then. One million more are enrolled in 6,- 000 private high schools. Today, they study hundreds of subjects in preparation (or almost every occupation in society. However, in one reepect, the high schools of today have failed the hopes of Boston. Hardly more than bait of the students of high school age today are enrolled in high school. While the privilege is theirs in theory, economic cir cumstances have prevented their attendance. Many young men and women, finding no place for themselves in industry or in society, are drifting into ignorance and crime. At the same time, many people blame this social disgrace upon society’s servant, the school. They decry leirning at public expense and call for a program which would force eve ry student to pay his way. With these conditions, the Celebration Committee of the National Edu cation Association has establish ed the following objectives for the celehration, with the Ameri- chn tradition of public education for democvocy a.s the basis. 1. To help the public to know the aims and achievements of high school training. 2. To advance the cause Lansing, Mich., Dec. 11.— Levelled by tire that broke out while scores of guests slept, the Kerns hotel tonight was a smouldering pyre, biding be neath tons of debris the fate of missing persons whose number authorities could only estimate fearfully at from 20 to 50. Thirteen were known to be dead, six of them state legisla tors. Eighty-one were unaccount ed for. and. while Investigators believed many of them were safe, Capt. Laurence Lyon of the state police declared that "there must be between 20 and 50 bodies burled in the ruins.’’ Injured in hospitals numbered more than SO. Many Dead In River The possibility of an even more appalling death list arose when Coroner Ray Gorsllne said that "there might be a dozen bodies’’ beneath the ice of the Grand river, into which a num ber of guests plunged from up per windows. Eleven of tbe known dead were drowned ■ or crushed when they leaped from the roof or win dows as tbe awful alternative to torture by the flames that had trapped them. Two others, au thorities said, were known defi nitely to have lost their lives in the inferno to which they awoke.

In North and South Carolina and Georgia, the production credit associations' have loaned approximately $6,200,000 this year of which all hut $476,000 had been repaid by fgrmers on November 30. Most of the bal ance of loans outstanding is not yet due. President Graham said, and in Florida, tbe fourth state in the Columbia district, a large part of the credit extended Is for citrus production and will not mature until next year. “The figures on loan collec tions speak for themselves in showing tbe Improved position of farmers in the cotton, tobac co, and mixed farming areas in the South Atlantic* states,’’ Mr. Graham stated. “Eleven associ ations in important centers in tbe .3 states have made 100 per cent collections of their loans and in about one-third of tbe 102 associations in the district farmers have repaid over 96 per cent of the total amount loaned this year.

Myers than the repayment record of these associatiODS in the southern states,’’ the presi dent of the Columbia corpor ation said. “This system has pro vided tbe seasonal financing of ‘ thonsands of cotton, tobacco and other farmers on a cooperative basis for the first time; and these borrowers hare shown their good faith from the start by repaying their loans prompt ly when due and thus protecting the sources production provided for them.” . ..
