school directors as sacred. This will
doubtless come as distinct shock to
the pedagogues who have seemingly re-
garded contract chiefly as a stepping
stone to higher offers elsewhere The
teacher s contract is not worth the pap
or on which it is written in case an op-
portunity is offered at more attractive
salary. And no board of school direc-

signatory to a contract in case he gets
an offer elsewhere And boards of ed
ucation do not hesitate to go into other
fields and attempt to secure teachers
who are under contract.

MILLIONS FOR EXPERIMENT.

90 Americanization is a much used
word these days. Senator Kenyon of
Iowa, chairman of the committee that
has been investigating conditions in the
big steel mills, has gone back to Wash
ington convinced that the time has
come for the AUGMENTATION of the
thousands of nom English speaking men
and women in the great eenters of in
dustry in this country, that the time
has come to make this one-language
nation. -
He has definite methods in mind for
this work. They are contained in two
bills drawn by Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia and likely to be favorably re-
ported out of the senate committee on
education and labor, of which Senator
Kenyon is chairman, this week.
The first Smith bill would ''promote
the education of illiterates, of persons
unable to understand and use the Eng
lish language, and of other resident per-
sons of foreign birth 1t also provides
for cooperation on the part of the fed
eral and the state governments Gin
the education of such persons in the
English language the fundamental
principles of government and citizen
| ship, the elements of knowledge per
tanning to self support and home max
ing, and in such other work as will as
slst in preparing illiterates and foreign
born persons for successful living and
intelligent American citizenship
For the purpose of cooperating with
the states in paying the salaries of
teachers, supervisors, and directors of
the educational work, the bill provides
an annual appropriation of $12,500, 00C
for each fiscal year up to and including
that ending June 30, 1926 No state
can participate in the appropriation un
til it has provided by law for not less
than 200 hours instruction annually
for call illiterate minors or minors un
able to speak, read, or write the Eng
lish language.
II The other Smith bill, which in The
l opinion of many well-informed senator.
comes nearer meeting the problem, i,
one which creates department of ed
ucation. To the new department would
) be transferred the various existing fed
eral education organizations. For tn,
support of the department for the fisca
year ending June 80, 1921, it would ap
propriate 100000, while Gin order t.
encourage the states in the promotion
and support of education it woulc
appropriate for the present fiscal yea
the sum of $100,000,OO0. Three fourth
of this amount would be used for tn
instruction of illiterates of 10 years an,
over, the instruction to "deal with tn
common school branches and the dutie
of citizenship and when advisable shal
prepare for some definite occupation.
This section of the bill refers to ma
tive and not foreign born illiterates
but Section 9 of the proposed law pre-
vides that Sin order to encourage tn
