School Men Want Use
OF Vocational Funds
(By The Associa ted Press }

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 30.-School au-
thorities here declare that unless the
legislature approves the Smith Hughes
bill, making available federal funds for
vocational education, the state will
cease to enjoy the benefits of the meas
ure within sixty days after adjourn
ment. BY clause in the federal bill,
passed by congress two years ago,
sta tes could take advantage of the law S
provisions by emergency action of the
governor, pending the convening of leg
islatures. Governor Lowden gave his
sanction.
Funds available for Illinois under the
Smith Hughes act are said to total
$137, 900, providing an equal amount be
appropriated either by legislature or by
communities desiring to take advant-
age of the law. No formal move has
been made in Illinois to meet the feder-
al acts provisions.
In addition to an appropriation by
the state, schools to use the federal
funds for vocational work must meet
certain rigid standards. Up to this
time, only few classes in Chicago and
fewer down state are able to make the
requisite showing.
1t is the intention of school officials
and leaders to obtain ratification of the
Smith Hughes law by the legislature,
have vocational education board NAM
ed as required by the federal statute,
ana then wait until lllionis schools are
able to qualify for participation in the
funds.

Wilson Says America is In
i terested in an Alliance
For Good of HUI
manity.
IN COMMON DEVOTION
Not Interested in European
Politics, but in
Right.
(By The Associated Press.

Manchester, England, Dec So
America is not interested in Euro
pean politics, but she is interested in
a partnership of right between Amer
lea and Europe" declared President
Wilson in receiving the freedom Of
the city of Manchester at the Free
Trades Hall here today.
America is not interested merely
in the peace of Europe, but in the
peace Of the world" he added. IF
the future had nothing for us, but the
keeping of the world at the right
poise by the maintaining OF balance
Of power" the president added, "the
United States would take no interest
in it, because we will form no COM
bination of powers. There is no COM
binatiOn of us all.
Cordial Fraternity.
There was a feeling Of cordial
fraternity and friendship between
America and Great Britain" declared
the president, which was based ON the
principle Of friendship and patriot
ism. which led men to give more than
demanded. The partnership of inter-
ests which had attempted to govern
the world had broken down, because
those interests did not bring men to-
gether, but separated them. Common
devotion to right was the only thing"
he insisted, that brought men to-
gether.
Mandate Of Humanity.
"In the settlement, which is just
ahead, the question is more difficult.
There is general concert Of minds"
the president said, land keen interna-
,tional conscience would make it easy.
There is voice Of humanity abroad in
the world, which they cannot hear If
deaf. We are not obeying the mandate
of partnership politics, we are obeying
the mandate Of humanity.
IF the world is to remain body of
friends, there must be an easy court,
where troubles may be solved while
they are little and not allowed to grow
big"
