"In order to start the program fas required by the new law upon a Evaluation of results accomplished in the San Diego city schools through inauguration of the victory corps program in that school system was summed up by Dr. John Aseltine, principal, San Diego High School, in an afternoon session of the sixty-second Kern county teachers institute yesterday afternoon in the Bakorsfiold High School. The high school teachers assembled to hear Doctor Aseiline were introduced to the subject of the high school victory corps program by Presiding Chairman Donald L. Harrison, director of curriculum and research of Kern County Union High School district. The victory corps program, which was designed by national officials in order to further the interest of high school students in war activities, has been in action in San Diego for the past year, Doctor Aseltine said.

The 1 principal value received through inauguration of the program, according to the speaker, was the participation of students and teachers on a general victory 'corps council which embraced representatives from all schools in the city system. Brought about by the victory I corps program certain curriculum changes were lauded by Doctor Asel- tine. Examples he cited were: Mak- ing of parachutes in home economics classes, addition of classes in navigation and seamanship to the science curriculum and additional classes for girls in the industrial arts program. Other advantages were seen in the guidance program and in student assemblies, the speaker declared. Disadvantages to the program were, chronicled by the San Diego principal as a lack of enthusiasm on the part of the high school students, a curtailment of enrollments in music and art classes as a result of participation in the victory corps program and the fact that the program lends to provide a type of "busy work" for the students.

He declared that a more critical analysis of the program is needed. Meanwhile, at East Bakersfield High School, Dr. Louis P. Thorpe, associate professor of education at the University of Southern California, addressed other high school teachers on "Youth Problems, a Responsibility of the High School," and Dr. Herbert E.

Chamberlain, former consulting psychiatrist, slale department of social welfare, spoke on "Youth Problems, a Responsibility of the Elementary School." Isabel Morse Jones, music crtiic of the Los Angeles Times and descendant of Samuel Morse, who not only invented the telegraph but studied art in Paris in the early of American art. and Marjorie Duncan Baker, soprano, delighted a ca pacity audience at the East Bakeis field auditorium last night with their interpretations of American folk lore and songs. Marjorie Baker's beauti ful costumes are authentic copies from Uodey'ij Lady Books and the i Delineator magazine dating back from 1854. Isabel Morse Jones re- I lated how folk lore and folk music are joined together and Marjurie Baker sang American folk tunes as illustrations. They were accompanied by Kathleen Reime.

Audio-visual aids to education were demonstrated .10 u. in. today in the East Bakersfield High School auditorium with James McPherson, audio-visual aids director, Kern county schools, presiding at the session. Values to be found in the use of audio-visual instructional mate- rials were illustrated through the showing of a selected group of films I and other audio-visual aids. Two tours, one to Minter Field and the other to the Kern county health department this afternoon completed the Kern county institute for this year.

At Minter Field the teachers were conducted on a tour of quarters, recreational facilities and equipment for training fliers and at the county health department, Dr. Lila J. Beebe addressed the visiting teachers and a movie, "Your County Health Department," was shown. A tour of the hospital followed. Distribution of wnr ration book No.

"Americans have no mon mass production and Japan, nlveii it feu- years with an empire of OOO.ii(in people, can triumph over us, said Dr. Ilillis Lory of Palo Alto, author and traveler, in an Interview yesterday at Hotel El Tejon. "Japan Is fighting two wars at the same time, and Americans are quite unaware the success that Japan is iiltniiiing and can attain In the ter- i rltory It has already conquered." i Doctor Lory pointed out. According to the lecturer, tho Japanese are putting- together a pretty mosaic of I lhe benevolent Japanese conqueror In the Km- East by placing In post! lions of prestige, the more Intelligent Burmese, Javanese, and the turning over to them the luxury homes of the Dutch and English in these ter! ritorlcs." "Americans on Die Pacific coast I should not feel that Japan Is near i defeat because of the recent rllm-out relaxations, because right now Japan is turning out more ships ami planes than she watt able to do on December 7, and she will continue to gain in power as hpr exploitation of her conquered territories continue.

"Japan may never have Intended to invade tho west coast, but its purpose has been to tie up our navy and men and it succeeded to a degree as much of our naval power was diverted in the Aleutians.

Hale I'. S. "The Japanese have an intense hatred of Americans and while they admire our mechanical ability they i hold in contempt our boastfulnesi and claims to bring the war to a quick conclusion." said Doctor "Japan In the conquest of the i Orient has a large submissive anil Illilerale population that is not concerned with thoughts of freei.lo:u an.t liberty bin.
