Advocates of Liquor Law Repeal Poll 187 Votes in First Clear-Cut Test
Prohibition Fight in House Reveals Great Wet Power
DEBATE BATTLE FIERY
Washington, March 14. (UDP)-An prohibitionists today lost their motion to bring the Beck-Lichum resolution before the house, but muttered the unexpected strength of 187 votes in the clear cut test on prohibition in 12 years.
The house voted 227 to 187 against discharging the judiciary committee from consideration of the resolution. The resolution called for resumption to the work of the committee and the control of the liquor traffic. Discharge of the committee would have brought the resolution directly before the house. The vote took place to an accompaniment of fury speeches and reminisces of March, a stand and be counted."
Repeal Supporters Defiant
Dry orators in such efforts as they make to speak, met with jeers and interruptions from a militant wedge minority. Galleries of the statues men sit in writing at the aides.
Defeat had been expected by the anti-prohibitionists. Only the most optimistic wet leaders watched the minorities' strength as it did. The voters represented the largest wet strength in the house since 1917 when the Eighteenth Amendment was passed.
The anti-prohibitionists were aided by a number of representatives listed a day who felt that the resolution should elect a house to vote. The house never before ha come so close to voting directly upon the committee estimates of the wet possibilities ran a the way from 160 to 190 votes. The leaders generally noted not more
The total comes within 3 votes of the outside maximum claims of the anti-inhibitionists.
The roll call was interrupted by aplaeuse when four women member voted with the antiprohibitionists. All were dismissed against dismissal of the committee.
Compares School Systems
American and European Universities Differ Mostly in Students
"The greatest difference between the European schools of higher education and the American universities is that the European colleges give Denker, Gerage exchange professor, said today. "The students of European universities are a picked few, chosen to be trained for higher work. The American colleges are more demotion, which bodies must approve of 1 before it becomes effective.
All the European school systems Professor Dengler explained, are based upon long tradition. England, however, is the only country with a long tradition of church schools in the county, and Austria have traditions for church schools which later were taken over by the government. The education of the masses goes back fartherest in Germany. Some of the German states have no tradition of education for more than 200 years.
"The headmaster in the English schools is supreme," he said. "In Germany the ministers of education of the various 36 states control the teaching. The minister of education in England controls the appropriations, but not the government. And Austria the teaching is all under the control of a minister of education."
"The socialists said that the Austrian school system was for the higher class," Professor Dengler said. "The lower classes don't get much higher learning if they are of high enough intelligence. If they were poor they were admitted free of charge. Unlike England, Austria doesn't attempt to develop the character of the students, and many of them have many experiments are tried to find ways of increasing their efficiency."
Summing up the high points, "The most important part of the English educational system is the development of students' stresses scholarship for a few. The Germans lay stress on thoroughness and specialization."
