highways quite satisfactory. A piece
of New Hampshire mecadam road for
which the state bonded some few
years ago and which was in fine con-

Vermont roads during that time have
been safe and comfortable to travel

meantime. Other states may have
better roads, but such states also
have tremendous road debts.

NatIonaIIzed Education

To the Editor oJ tho EVentn0 Public Ledger:
Sir-Your editorial "Natioualized
Education" seems to me to be a danger
GUS trend toward centralization-a fear
that has been openly expressed in many
quarters. that we as a nation are drift
Ing more and more every day from state
independence and looking to Washing
ton as the center from which all things
should emenate.
Admitting for the sake of argument
that the educational system of the coun-
try Is loosely organized, that 1t Ia
welter of unrelated and inefficient units,
and that II functions inefficiently in most
places and falls in many" are we ready
to accept a theory that by nationaliza-
tion these loose units can be brought to-
gether and welded into a compact body?
1t sounds good, but unfortunately ex-
perience. which Is our greatest teacher,
advises caution and suggests that We
make an analysis and to inquire II
national politics Is airy different from
local politics, and in any discussion of
the matter politics cannot be separated
say that the present condition of the
schools In this city proves clearly enough
that stimulus OF some sort Is needed"
Are you ready to say that nationanzeu
education Is the sole remedy?
The naturalization of education, II
seems to me. would place in the hands of
the party In power the whole school
system of the country. and like all other
Oh lHe feueTdl
would in time become great big
political machine. Political influence
would affect the appropriations as we'll
as appointments The schools could De
used to spread the ideas favorable to the
dominant party. Take for illustration
the present discussion Of the League of
Nations. Were we at the present time
under nationalized system OF education
and knowing how set President Wilson
Is on this subject, what would pre-
vent the spreading of his views on
this subject In every school of the
country? Aside from this, in the mat
ter OF the distribstion of appropriations,
Is II not reasonable to assume that the
present system of the distribution of
public funds should also apply under a
nationalized educational department?
We Philadelphians know of the great
are denied, for instance funds to develop
our harbor? Why Is II that all the an
tiquated federal buildings In our city
are not replaced with modern, up to date
structures like other cities? The answer
Is obvious. Is 1t not reasonable to as
sumo therefore, that with nationaliZed
education our fair city would be as
shamefully treated in the distribution of
patronage for our educational institu-
tions?
Standards and policies formulated in
the serene seclusion would be imposed
without debate or appeal upon all in
stitutions In all parts of tho United
States. Is there anything more likely TO
our educational system on national
basis. Is 1t unlikely that the next step
would be TO nationalize our hospitais

while the organ trembled out its melo-
dious strains, and then, coming to the
chorus, turned his eyes to far GAL
lery, where clear toned soprano rang
out with the refrain, beginning softly
at first, and then joining in the peal Of
the organ as it burst out into the mighty
thunder of "Glory, Glory, Hallclujah. 1"
Then the audience joined in the roll =
ing chorus and the great auditorium
was filed to the very roof with song.
Throughout the rendition of the i'm :
mortal hymn the convention heard first
the soft voiced tones of the man recit
ing the lines with the soft tremble OF
the organ, then the echo from the gal
lery as the soprano voice joined in and
sent back the refrain, and then the
roaring chorus of the convention.
1t was an impressive rendition which
pulled at the heartstrings and aroused
the fire of patriotism in every heart.
At the conclusion of the singing the
secretary of the convention continued
the call Of the roll of states for nomi-
mating speeches.

Huntington, N. ", July 1.-(By
A. P)-Maintaining his sphinx like
silence, William G. McAdoo, at his
country home here today, declined
to be persuaded by newspaper men
to make any comment on the actiyi-
ties of the Democratic convention
at San Francisco, where his name
has been placed In nomination for
the presidency.
"Mr, McAdoo says he has nothing
whatever to say" was the answer
brought by the maid to the news
paper men who had besieged the
McAdoo home throughout the morn

the former secretary Of the treasury.
