Hot-Spots of Orient Returning to the campus for the first time in two years, Dr. Sherwood Eddy, author, lecturer, and world traveller, will deliver two addresses here tomorrow afternoon and night. Dr. Eddy, who will visit only one day, will/address public groups in the Home Economics auditorium at 4 o'- clock and again in Schwab auditorium at 7 o'clock. The subject of the afternoon ad dress will be "Hot Spots in the Or ient." At 7 - o'clock Dr. Eddy will speak on European affairs. Open for ums will be conducted after both ad dresses. Dr. Eddy, who is being brought here through the efforts of the P.S.C.A., made a series of addresses to students and faculty members two years ago. He recently returned from a four-months' study in China. Did Y.M.C.A. Work in India During the past summer, he made his annual trip to Europe with his American Seminar, visiting London, Berlin, Warsaw, and Vienna. While in Russia recently, he talked at length with government officials, industrial workers, and farmers. Dr. Eddy was graduated from Yale in 1891. In 1896 he went to India at his own expense. After fifteen years of work among the students-of the Indian Empire, he was appointed Young Men's Christian Association secretary for the national council for Asia. Before the 'World War, Dr. Eddy was engaged with Dr. John R. Mott in conducting .rneetings for students •-throughoht ,, -AsiirMllewspent - " - five - Inonths in war-torn China in 1031:- 32, making the visit at the requ6t, of the Chinese leaders in an effort to stem the disturbances. • Praised ,by M.I.T. Head President Karl T. Compton, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technol ogy, says of Dr. Eddy: "In his work among young men in this country and in Asia, Dr. Eddy has been one of the most stimulating and construc tive men of this generation. He has ken a powerful influence for good in international affairs as well as in the lives of individuals." Among prominent books that Dr. Eddy has written are, "A Pilgrimage of Ideas, or the Ite-education of Sher wood Eddy," "The World's Danger Zone," and "The Challenge of the East." Edmonds Emphasizes Education in Address "Education is one of the most fin portant of the spiritual ideas of the American people," said Dr. Franklin F. Edmonds, of Philadelphia, who spoke on "New Experiences and Old. Principles" in Schwab auditorium on Sunday morning. • Self-sacrifice, the speaker said, is the foundation of education in this country. Every man and woman in America hopes that the succeeding generation will go a little further along educational lines than they did themselves, he continued. Referring to educational methods today, Dr. Edmunds said, "We have overstressed technical education and specialized training-. A technical edu cation, in the specialized sense of the word, should be based on a general education. Today, the demand for education has changed in view of present conditions. The present-day desire for instruction is .leading away from highly specialized technical work. Education is a superstructure which is planted on top of the soul. The soul, however, must be there. Optimistic as to. the outcome of the present depression, Dr. Edmonds said that the American people would find a way out as they have done before. He cited the depression of 1907, which the invention and manufacttire of the automobile ended with a wave of pro gressive industrial expansion. Other depressions, he said, were solved simi larly. "Let ud liave done with this busi ness of class denunciation which has become so widespread during the last few years," Dr. Edmonds declared. Concluding. his address, he said, "We must have faith to meet new experi ences. Our problems today must be met with courage. These problems might be solved with the determina tion of the American people to meet them with faith•and courage." raveller To Address Students Tomorrow DR.

College Will Conduct Speaking Clinic Here The division of public speaking, with the cooperation of the officials. of the summer session, has formu lated a plan enabling high school stu dents to enroll in speech training courses here this summer. This has been accomplished by the establish ment of an all-State' high school speech group. Admission to the group is open to any high school graduate .or under graduate in this State or 'other states provided he can either present evi dence of interscholastic,competition in debate, declamation, oratory, extem poraneous speaking, or interpreta tive reading; or present. a written recommendation from his high school principal or instructor in forensics as to his interest and potential ability in the speech field. Other qualifica tions being equal, preference - will be shown juniors, seniors, and gradu-: ates, in composing the group. Debate Tournament Planned A debate tournament and extem poraneous speaking and reading con tests also have been planned, from which the winners of the all-State high school speech group will be selected.

Frizzell, head of the department of public speaking, will be in charge and Joseph F. O'- Brien, coach of the men's debating team, will instruct the public speak ing and debate sections.

State Troopers Make Test of Auto Brakes In a spectacular demonstration of automobile brakes held in front of the Rockview penitentiary last Fri- day the theories of physics were prov ed to be operative only undar perfect conditions while under the imperfect conditions of actuality they were proved to be partially inoperative. The test was made primarily to determine the distance required to stop an automobile travelling at vari ous speeds not in excess of the legal speed. But it developed, in a search for more effective methods of obtain ing a quick stop, that the physics books which claim that a stop ex ecuted without sliding has nearly twice the effectiveness of a stop ex ecuted with a slide were rather off balance. The best stop was made by a new automobile travelling 40 miles Per hour, which was brought to a smooth straight-line stop in 33 feet. This record compares favorably with the official AAA. record. The driver of the car was J. Ralph Eckley, a local resident, while William B. Heckman '36 rode in the car.as recorder of the exact speed of the car when the brakes were applied. Afore than 200 persons witnessed the test which was conducted by state troopers from Bellefonte.
