New Cabinet Post
Is Proposed for
Education Work
[StnH C0rrosDOndence1

WASHINGTON, March 31.-A De-
partment of Education, with member
ship in the Presidents Cabinet, charged
with shaping national educational pol
icics, is urged in a statement issued to-
night by the Republican Publicity AS
ISOLATION through its president, JON
athan Bourne, jr. The statement fol-
lows:
zone of the lasting benefits to be
derived by the United States from this
from the deluson that we must look to
Europe for what is best in many lines
of industry and education.
Having been, through force of cir
tiles which we depended upon Germany
to supply, and having learned how far
German culture falls short of the high
est standards of Christian civilization,
we should determine that henceforth
America shall produce for herself the
best that the world can supply in ma
terial and in the intellectual field of
human activity We should never again
any other country for any commodity
that it is possible for US to produce at
home
"'Thc best in the world should be
Americas new slogan-the best in ed
ucation, the best in physical and meta
physical science, the best in the arts,
the best in Industrial enterprise
"As one important step in that drec-
ton America should establish new,
higher and more practical standards in
It's educational system. giving more aid
to original research and providing for
the highest degree of training in every
branch OF science, art and philosophy,
so that Europe must look to America
rather than America to Europe as the
centre of all that is highest and best
IN intellectual development and mate
rial comfort and enjoyment.
I'm order that this new standard NAV
be established and impressed upon the
minds OF our own people and brought
to the notice of the other nations of
the earth, We should add to our gov
ernmental system department of ed
ucation represented in the Cabinet and
having under its jurisdiction the shap
ing OF national educational policies.
There can be no consistency in de-
crying autocracy so long AS we send
our people to an autocratic nation to
lnish their training"

All u. S. Under
Honor Roll Plan
For Third Loan
Idea Developed at Cedarhurst,
l.. l., is Hailed by Cam
Palgners

Members Of the Liberty Loan Com
mittee made some peculiar discoveries
in comparing the records Of the first
and second Liberty loans.
One Of the most amazing related to
the town Of Cedarhurst, Long Island.
This community which had 1857 in
habitants in 1915, subscribed for S175,-
600 in Liberty bonds of the first issue,
through $50 subscribers. In the sec
ond loan Cedarhurst produced $3.50
subscribers for $l,2Oo,O0O worth of
bonds.
Investigators were sent to the town.
They were told that the vastly in
creased subscription to the second
bond issue was attributed to an honor
roll campaign.
In view Of the results, honor roll
campaigns aroused keen interest among
Investigators. They returned to New
York with their curiosity satisfied and
imbued with an enthusiasm which car
ried them and the "Cedarhurst plan"
to Washington. Extensive plans have
been worked out, based on the idea
developed in the Long Island com
the whole United States one great
Ccdarhurst in the third Liberty Loan
campaign, which opens on Saturday.
The honor roll and the service flag
ideas form the basis of the plan.
Miniature "honor flags" consisting of
II white field with three vertical blue
stripes, symbolic Of the third loan, and
the field surrounded By II red border,
"ili be given to subscribers to the
thlrd loan with the request to display
them in their windows.
"This flag in your window will helm
win the war" is the slogan with which
distribution will be made.

Federal Building to
Be Surrounded by
Ornamental Planting

Postmaster Sites, as custodian of
the Federal Building here, has receiv-
ed approval from Washington of an
attractive scheme of planting to re-
place the shrubbery destroyed or re-
moved during the remodeling of the
building. 1t is understood the work
Will be started as soon as possible.
This planting will include japanese
barberry, Canadian juniper. Chinese
juniper, white cedar. golden bell. Jap
anese maple, spirea, white fringe,
azalea, double red and double white
althea. red Towering dogwood, noun
tain laurel, burning bush, New Jersey
tea and other plants.
At the corners of the various wide
spaces about the building will be
placed Chinese and Canadian juniper
! plants and at the inside corners of
| the building will be planted mountain
laurel, white cedar and pyramidal ar
borvitae. Along the building in Lo-
Gust street will be mountain laurel
Chinese juniper, Japanese maple, and
double white althea. Japanese bar
berry will adorn the space in Locust
street at the end of the driveway and
also the lawn at Third and Locust
streets. In fact. the Japanese bar
! berry, a beautiful plant, will hedge the
entire space inside the coping on all
fronts of the building except Court
street
The driveway leading from Court
street to the mail receptacle will be
beautifully screened with red hover
ing dogwood. The approaches in Wal
nut and Third streets will be fringed
with japanese barberry, in the same
manner as the inside of the coping on
all sides. Mountain laurel will be
placed between the basement window
areas and the whole effect is certain
to be most attractive.
All dead wood of the old shrubbery
will be removed and all shrubs pruned
so the replanting may fill the space
of the planting damaged during the
building operations
This scheme OF planting will put the
Federal grounds in harmony with the
Capitol Park.

Many of the improvements at the

About the first unit OF the i'm

and the shortage of labor the work
was temporarily held up. The fur
mace Is of the largest type and will
add much to the daily output of the

use.
Work on building open hearth fur
