pense Of Campaign for Pro-
motion of Education

New York. Dec 25.--The general edu-
cation board made public today an in
stailment of it's forthcoming report,
dealing with the promotion of educa-
ton In the Southern states. The re-
port shows that the Southern people
themselves are now carrying large
part of the burden, and that the gov
eminent has also entered extensively
into the work. which was formerly
thought unconstitutional in that 1t was
rather intrastate than Interstate.
Mr. Rockefeller's first gift to the
General Education Board was designed
to support an inquiry into the educa-
tional needs of the Southern people"
the report says.
The investigators found that-"the
great bulk OF the people of the South
ern States was simply not earning
enough to provide proper homes and
to support good schools
The annual average earnings OF q

was as low as $3.50. This. they decided.
was largely through lack OF scientific
knowledge, and 1T was. therefore. de-
liberately decided to undertake the
agricultural education. not of the flu
ture farmer, but of the present far
mer" Then came the cooperative
farm development movement
Federal Government Aids.
The federal government took up the
work in States infested with the boil
weevil. holding that this was an In
terstate menace. and the General Edu-
cation Board confined its operations to
other States.

were paying almost 50 per cent OF the
total annual expenditure approaching

on which the board had acted.

Fortunately the value Of the de-
monstration has been no clear that the
