VILLAGE SCHOOL SCANDAL

Teachers Press for "New Deal"

NO WATER, LITTLE LIGHT

AND LEAKY ROOFS

Complaint against conditions in certain rural schools is made in a striking memorandum issued by the National Union of Teachers.

Detailed reports concerning 66 rural schools are given in support of the claim that a "new deal" is wanted in the education of village children.

Here are some of the revelations regarding English schools in 1936:

Doors in such a state of disrepair, that rats can run under them. Children sit right by them. In windy weather dust, straw, paper are blown through.

Buckets placed to catch water that it has become a fixture through Jenking through roofs.

Mt. Wilson, Calif. June 10. DR. SETH B. NICHOLSON of Mt. Wilson observatory has just ended speculation on the possibility of a spectacular col- lision in the solar system, aroused by the close brush of the new-found asteroid anteros with the earth on Feb. 7.

Dr. Nicholson, with the 100 inch telescope here, got the inst fleeting glimpse of Anteros as it faded away again after whizzing within one day's distance of the earth. It was the closest any member of the solar family has been known to come.
