This commission is composed of representatives from va rious sctions of the United States in all lines of educational interest. It drafted and introduced the Smith 1 Towner bill. which has two distinctly 1 progressive and commendable features. i viz, the creation of a department of education with a secretary as a mem | Der of the presidents cabinet, and fed l eral aid for public school education without federal control. The bill car ries with it an annual appropriation for this purpose of about s125. .000. 900, | which is considered only a beginning | for greater federal aid in the future. | It will result in equalizing educational advantages in the various states and reduce the local taxation In counties and other smaller units of taxation.
 The bill has the support of the com mittee on education in the senate and house of representatives, the depart ment of the interior and the depart ment of labor. and has the endorsement of all associations dealing with special lines of education It has strong op position. however
 It is hoped that this meeting of the commission will result in placing the bin on the calendar for early consid eration. Should the bill become law, Arizona would be a beneficiary in the of about s235,000. Dr. Matthews expects to return about January 4.
