Speaks On School
Finances.

Public education Is the biggest task
confronting America today" Philan-
der p. Claxton, United States Commits
sioner of Education, declared last
night In addressing the opening ses-
sion Of the Kentucky Educational AS
sociation at the First Christian church
Louisville.
George Colvin, State Superlntend-
ent Of Public Instruction, spoke in
behalf of the amendment to the State
Constitution intended to take public
schools entirely out of politics.
More than 1000 teachers had ar
rived in Louisville last night and the
trains into the city were loaded yes
terday, with indications that the in
flow would continue through Thurs
day. More than 10000 persons are ex-
pected to attend during the four days
Of the meeting.
Mr.. Claxton's speech was review
of the financial situation of the school
throughout the country, and an analy-
sis of the factors which contribute to
make the school "the most important
single factor in American life today"
Three things make nation pros
porous, and only ono of them is
changeable." he said Natural re-
sources and nativcability are COM
paratively fixed Education, which di-
rects the other two, is changeable, and
it is the only factor that can advance
the Industrial and economic welfare of
the United States.
Society is responsible for the cdu-
cation Of its members. 1t is not a mat
ter of individual choice. Every per-
son must bear the burden Of all, and
all Of every person. Parents must pay
that their children may be better fitted
for life. Those who are not parents
must pay in order that they may live
in an intelligent community.
Education" Mr. Claxton said, is
Democracy's task. 1t is the means
through which we obtain the fullest
life of the community, 1t is the gate
Way to read democracy. for only edu-
cation can provide an equal opportu-
nifty to all for full self-development. 1t
is the best means of creating good
citizens. 1t Is the best means of in
suring industrial efficiency"

Beatty expressed the feeling when, in
his farewell address to Admiral Rodman
on the departure Of our battleships from
the grand feet, he said: 81 know quite
well that you, as well as all of your
British comrades, were bitterly disaD-
pointed at not being able to give effect
to the efficiency that you have SO well
maintained"
Both countries pursued what naval OF
hcers considered the best possible course
under the circumstances. Unquestionably
the existence Of these two great fleets,
and the French and Italian forces, held
the German fleet in check and compelled
its eventful surrender. But personally
I have little patience with the policy Of
depending on a fleet in being" The
policy of watching and waiting irks men
Of the nav1es that produce Nelson's and
Farraguts, John Paul Joneses and
Deweys. I neither blame the British ad-
miralty, nor excuse our own, but in my
soul believe that II commanders like
Beatty, Mayo, Rodman and Wilson could
have Joined in a general assault by the
forces of all the allies, we would have
found some way to smash through and
destroy the German feet-in spite Of hell
and Helgoland.

while the iron which people usually take
is metallic or mineral iron and can be
made much cheaper than Nuxated Iron
as mineral iron is iron just as it comes
from the action Of strong acids on small
pieces Of iron. On account of the large
sale of Nuxated Iron-it being estimated
that over 100000 people annually are
using it-imitators found in 1t fertile
