WARMLY INDORSED
DR.. Owens Brings News from
Farmers Congress.

DR.. Clarence ]. Owens. secretary
treasurer of the Southern Commercial
Congress, returned to Washington yes
terday from Columbus, Ohio, where he
attended the American Association OF
Agricultural Colleges and Experiment
Stations. The Southern Commercial Con-
gress, through its board of directors,
have indorsed the Page vocational edu-
cational bill, and in the interest OF this
DR.. Owens addressed the asso-
citation. which went on record as indors-
ing the general proposition of securing
Federal aid for secondary vocational ed
ucation in public secondary schools and
in State normal schools throughout the
United States:
The association also approved Fed
eral legislation in the interest Of exten-
sion work and demonstration farmingl
throughout the entire United States by
the State colleges Of agriculture. The
executive committee was instructed to
cooperate with other interested or
ganizations in a campaign to urge
the coming session of Congress to
pass a comprehensive bill relating to
vocational education. Dr. Owens, in re-
ferring to the convention, said: The
Page BILL now on the calendar as s. 8,
was referred to in the leading addresses
before the association as one OF the most
important and far-reaching pieces Of con-
sTuctive legislation ever introduced in
Congress. The fact that 1t is in line
to aid in so increasing production as to
counteract the tendency to the high cost
of living was emphasized throughout the
discussion.
Hon. P. P. Claxton made the point
that expenditure along this line looks
to giving our nation advantage in con-
hlcts more far-reaching than conflicts
at arms, namely, the economic conflicts
between the nations and the races Of
people. He urged that the price Of a
battleship would prepare many thousands
for the economic contests such as will
surely continue between Europe and
and must be harcest between
the Orient and the Occident."
