Today we have more broken banks, more idle industrial plants, lower prices for agricultural products, more unemployment and longer bread lines than have been known since the dawn of the 20th century.

Board $8,000 Sum Granted General Education Board Gives Money For Teachers' Training School Prospects for opening the tcachcrs training school next September in the new Education building have grown brighter since the announcement Sunday morning by Dr. L. T. Baker, acting president, that the general education board of New York City had donated $8,000 to aid in its operation during the next two years. Hope for opening the training school practically faded at the close of the past legislative session when the general assembly failed to make an appropriation with which to operate it. The general education board donated $150,000 toward the construction of the building, now Wardlaw college, on the condition that the University nigtch the sum with another $150,000. The structure was completed several months ago, the University raising its quota of the necessary $300,000 from fees collected from students and such reserve it had on hand, without receiving appropriation from the legislature for this purpose. Dr. Orin F. Crow, dean of the school of education, said that word that the gift was being made to the I niversity brought much relief to the I officials who had looked forward and / contributed their efforts toward the opening of the school. He said that I no plans had been made as to the I size of the school or otherwise, but I that they would be worked out in the I near future. Dean Crow said that receipt of the I gifts would not bring about any I change in the plans of Prof. Guy H. I Hill, teacher of education at the Uni-B versity, who was to become principal! of the training school in September, but who announced recently that hefl had resigned to accept a position asH" teacher in a North Carolina college.
