 tiOn.

Washington, Jan. 27-senator Shaf froth, of Colorado, is pressing the Sem ate Judiciary commit tee for favorable action on his resolution to amend the constitution so as to make the date of the converting of Congress the first Monday in January. following the election instead of March 4 and to have the term Of the President begin the third Monday in January instead of March 4.

 ment Quarters. z EDUCATION FOR ALL
 IMPERATIVE NEED Least Illiterate of Population Are Native Born Children
 of Foreigners.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The United States can neglect the education of i1nani nieuan population only at it's own peril, in the opinion of Dr. P. P. Claxton. federal commissioner Of edu- cation In an official statement issued today he reviews the whole problem of educa ton for immigrants and says that the least illiterate of the nation ,s population are the nafive-born ciltl- dren of foreign parents. The il1fteracy among the children of native-born pa rents is three times as great as that among native-born children Of Torcign parents.
 -s Attention is directed by the com missioner Go the fact that immigrants are keenly interested in schooling for their children or at least conspicuous ly Obedient to school a;ttendance laws
 Dr. CIaxton points out that most of the immigrants who nave come into this country in recent years know lit tie of it's political and civic Iife are urll1sed to its social ideals and that from that to which they have been accustomeds
 With little attention to t1efr spe- cif1c needs,r he declares they are crowded into factories, mines and dir ty tenement quarters too often the prey of the expIoiter in business and the demagogue in poIitrcs.''
 Immigrant education is mot alone a question of the school education of lions of adult men and women and of children beyond the compulsory school attendance age must be prepared tor American citizenship and adjusted to their new opportunities and responsi- biIities sss,.ss4 u. ..s4.
