N. White is in Washington, D. O. to-

help fight for the $100s 900 additional
appropriation for the U. S Bureau of

pretty plain to educators what he
needs the money for, and his argu-
ment that the fight against illiteracy
must be waged in every state with
out loss Of time, has aroused interest
from coast to coast. The vast sums
expended BY other departments on
improving stock and vegetables show
what the government viii do when
properly urged. Mr.. Claxton has de-
cIared that a little more money spent
in promoting up-to-date educational
methods to improve the human mind
might be appropriate at this time.
