NONEDUCATOR
BEST ON BOARD,
SAYS SPEAKER
Assistant School Head
Says Criticism Is
Essential.

1t would be worse than a calamity
to abolish the Board of Education
and put the direction of the public
schools in the hands exclusively OF
technical educators, according to
Stephen e. Kramer, assistant super
Intendent of public schools, who ad-
dressed the education group of the
City Club at a meeting last night
at the clubhouse.
"The public schools belong to the
people," said Kramer "and l be-
lieve the public should have very
decided voice in determining the
kind OF education that shall be fur
nished. 1 believe in educating the
children the way the public wants
them educated.
Nonexperts Needed.
THE Board of Education fur
nishes a contact between the gem
eral public and the trained technical
educators at the head of the school
system In my thirty-one years
with the public schools of the Dis
trict I have found that the most
valuable members of the Board OF
Education usually were men who
could not qualify as educational eX-
| perts. The most valuable members
as a rule, age the men with business
experience. good. hard common
sense. broad vision, and knowl'
edge OF what the community wants
! Kramer said that the public
| should take greater interest In
school matters and should become
more insistent in its demands.
"As soon as the people really
want something" he said. they
will take steps to see why they
are not getting it This demand
on the part OF the community will
make II easier for the school au'
thorities to bring about many re-
forms that they long have cher
ished but have felt they could mo-
Introduce without full public sup
port.
Better Days Ahead.
Sometimes think that we dom
have enough constructive criticism
Of the public school system. Bet
ter days are ahead for the schoo
system as soon as we have a sym
pathetically critical public"
He added that the most pressing
need OF the schools now is add
tional housing. Although the city
only OF the eight-rOom type, anc
the osercrowding has reached a Sc
rious stage. He said the need wa
for larger schools. At present, h

Police at Meeting
Hopeful of Bonus

Possibility of restoration of the
S240 annual bonus for policemen
and firemen of the District by ac-
ton of the Senate today was dis
cussed at a meeting of the Police
mems Association in Pythian Tenn
pie last night.
The association regarded the fact
that the bonus was reported out of
committee as encouraging. George
Sellers, secretary of the association,
was instructed to call a meeting
of the entertainment committee to
arrange fora dance in the near
future. Four new members were
admitted. C. L. Dalrymple presided,

Heretofore, the U. S. War Risk
Bureau handled compensation and in
surance claims; the U. S. Public
Health Service handled medical treat
ment; the Federal Vocational Board
handled vocational education.
Each bureau worked independently.
Much of their work overlapped. There
was no single coordinating head. All
claims had be be referred to head
quarters at Washington with result
ing delay, confusion and red tape.
Many a disabled buddy gave up in
despair. And all this time the Lee
gion was urging Congress to pass the
Sweet Bill, which would end these
troubles. After two years, Congress
passed it. How does the Sweet Bill
affect the disabled ex-service mans
chance for securing justice?
The Sweet Bill has amalgamated
the three bureaus mentioned above.
They are one body, known as "The
Veterans Bureau" with one coordin-
ating head over all. The other great
victory was the clause in the Sweet
Bill which says that future claims
need not be sent all the way to Wash
ington for a decision. Awards may
be made or changed by each district
branch of the Veterans Bureau. Min
nesota is in the Tenth District, the
the headquarters of which is in the
Keith-Plaza building, Minneapolis.
Awards and changes now are made
there, instead of at Washington, D

been made. And in the Tenth District

SOVIETS SEEK LARGE LOAN
Reds Offer Nansen Mortgage on Assets
as Security. "a

Riga-The Soviet authorities have
offered DR.. Fridtjof hansen a first
mortgage, backed by all the Russian
assets, as security for the $50,000,000
loan which he is trying to raise among
the European governments for famine
relief work in Russia. 1t is understood
that it also has been agreed to take
up later the question of recognition of
the old Russian debts.
Doctor hansen expressed high trib-
uate for Herbert Hoover's undertaking,
but he felt that even this effort would
not pervent appalling misery unless
the governments granted very large
aid to Russia, either by gifts or credit.
Sharing this conviction" he added,
"the Soviet government has formally
requested me to approach the Euro
pean governments to secure credit of
100000 pounds sterling fer the i'm
mediate purchase Of seeds and food.

Here's how.
Commencing Labor Day in st.
Paul, Travelling Squad" of the
Veterans Bureau, representing the 8
former agencies mentioned above,
will travel through Minnesota, stop
ping for from one to five days at
seventeen different points, at which
former service men may appear and
have their claims for compensation,
vocational training, and medical treat
ment adjusted. This is a special eff
fort on the part of the officers of the
Tenth District to bring justice as near
as possible to the home of the ex-ser-
vice man.
If you know a buddy who has
claim against the government, tell
him to write to the Manager, Veter-
ans Bureau, Keith-Plaza Building
Minneapolis" and ask for "Transpor-
tation Application Form" on which to
apply for free transportation and ex-
penses in connection with his trip to
the nearest point at which the Travel
ing Squad will appear to examine
him. Tell him to ask for list of
the points and dates at which the
squad will appear, SO that he may
know how to fill out his Transports
ton Application Form, which should
then be sent to Minneapolis, from
which transportation will be mailed
him.
Before leaving for the examination
point, every buddy should have with
him all correspondence relative to his
case, all army papers in his posses
sion, including his original discharge,
his marriage certificate if any, the
birth certificates of his children it
any, and as many affidavits as posi-
BILE showing that his injury was in
Cured in service, how it effected his
physical condition while in service,
how it affected his physical condition
since his discharge from service, how
the injury handicaps him in the work
he did before he entered service, and
such other official papers as he may
have relating to his claim against the
government. The more reliable in
formation he can procure, the quicker
his claim will be adjusted.
The Travelling Squad will be at St.
Cloud, Oct. 7, 9 a. m. to Oct. 8, 5 p.
m. for counties Kandiyohi, Stearns,
Sherburne, Benton, Mile Laos, Kama
