Irwin School. Philadelphia, speakers at
the conference on business Miss Louise

"No technical school training is nec-
essary to anyone who would enter bank

counting and auditing, work in the For-

Opposed As Wife, Not As Citizen, to
Presidential Candidacy of Hoover
Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of the food
administrator and Presidential candidate,
visited llryn Mawr Saturday, delivering
two addresses for the Endowment Fund
Drive She spoke to students, vocation-
al conference speakers and members of
the Philadelphia Endowment Committee,
at luncheon in Pembroke, and in the
afternoon at a reception in Rockefeller,
which was attended by prominent Phila-
delphians.
"I cannot say that I personally ap-
prove of Hoover clubs or of Mr. Hoov-
er's candidacy for President," said Mrs.
Hoover, laughingly, at the close of her
speech at luncheon, when she had met
C. Garrison, 11, president of the llryn
Mawr Hoover Club; "he has been a mod-
el husband, and his attentions would be
divided." Her attitude toward the ques-
tion as a citizen, aside from personal
feelings she said was "a different mat-
ter."
"Don't let the vocational conference
lead you too far from teaching," Mrs.
Hoover advised the undergraduates in
her speech. "There are now at least
I00.IMMI teachers' positions in the coun-
try rilled by persons who fall below the
standard, and there may be a shortage
of 7S0.00O teachers in the United States
during the next two years."
