span of 84 years. Chenarard pro-
phesied that 2100 A. D. would see
the United States supreme in the
world, that civilization would end
only after achieving a common
language and government for the
world and after science and indus-
try had been pushed to the ultim-
ate of progress.
High Command in Germany
Dr. Wells is perhaps least famil
iar to most people on campus be-
cause he has been in Germany for
two years, As chief of the histor-
ical division of the High Command
of Germany, his job was to prepare
historical reports—38 in number—
dealing with political, economic,
and social aspects of Germany and
relating to Allied activities there.
This work busied him primarily
with the Western Zone rather than
the Eastern Soviet Zone of Occu-
pation. The division of which Dr.
Wells was in charge consisted of
eight American professional staff
members, a group of German re-
search chemists, and American
and German secretaries to total
approximately twenty members.

imajority of the Board members
are usually not educators, but this
year the Democrats are running
educators for all four contested
seats.
School Situation
In the discussion following her
talk, Mrs. Neel pointed out that
the main issue confronting the vot-
ers in this year’s elections is that
of the school situation. There
has been a proposal to build a
junior high school in Rosemont.
This has met with opposition from
several quarters, since the resi-
dents of Merion and Penn Valley
feel that Rosemont is at too great
a distance for their children to
travel, and those living in Rose-
mont think that the building of
the new school will lower the value
of property in that town.
Dean of Women or the August,
September, October or November
issues of Mademoiselle.
Township residents will be asked
to vote on a “package bill”, con-
cerning a four million dollar bond
issue for the schools. Besides the
Rosemont school, the money would
be used for improvement to the
junior high in Ardmore, and for a
school in Gladwynn. The disad-
vantage of such a bill is that one
must vote for or against all three
recommendations at once.
Mrs. Neel said that the Demo-
erats, whife approving the erection
of new schools, feel that such
great sums as. are spent on the
building of school buildings are un-
called for. We needn’t have the
most expensive schools; we should
expend more on such items as
teachers’ salaries.
In concluding, Mrs. Neel ex-
plained that registering is import-
ant; also, one should definitely
register with one party, and not
as a non-partisan. The services of
those who are too young to regis-
ter are needed, most especially for
canvassing, which is essential to
politics everywhere.
