Mr.. TESS CALLS HOUSE
GREATEST OF SCHOOLS
Congressman From Ohio Speaks at
Meeting of High School Teach
ers' Association.

Congress From Near View" was
the subject of a talk delivered by Rep
resentative Fess of Ohio to the High
School Teachers Association. which
met in the Willard Hotel last night.
Representative Tess took the teachers
into his confidence and told them of
the surprising things he had learned
in the House of Representatives after
cherishing many preconceived views of
the Congress CLEANED from reading
text books and writing learned treatises
on many national subjects.
The House of Representative is the
greatest school in the world" he said,
and one of the first things I did there
was to unlearn many of the things I
had previously learned.
The Ohio man also told his audience
it was unfair to Congress to Judge a
congressman from the galleries. be-
cause much of the solid business of
Congress is conducted in the offices
and not through the medium of
speeches. He also declared that there
is too much sectionalism in the modern
government, and that if he had any
criticism to make it is because too
many representatives vote solely for
the interests of their districts and not
for the interests of the country at
large

The letter says:
Due to the fact that the National
