at is no exagggeration," said Presi-
dent Harding, Ito say that the nation
confronts an educational crisis. From
every corner of the land comes the
same report that the housing capacity
for our public schools is inadequate;
that tens of thousands of pupils have
no place for their studies; that
teachers cannot be listed in sufficient
numbers and that school revenues are
insufficient.
"Let me add that this is not a con-
dition which leads us to pessimism or
misgivings. No people ever approach
ed the lavishness with which from
public, revenue and private purse,
Americans have given to support edu-
cation, yet, the more generously we
provide today, the greater is the de-
|ficiency tomorrow; and am glad it is
thus. So long as the eagerness for
education outruns our most generous
provision of facilities, there will be
assurance that we are going ahead,
not backwards"

BOMB EXPLODES
AT HERRICK HOME
Protest Against Conviction of Italians
for Murder Brings New Demon
stratiOn in Paris.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)

10y ASSOcIdIeQ HreSS Leased wire
Paris A bomb exploded today in
the house of Myron T. Herrick, the
American ambassador, seriously injur-
ing the valet who opened the package
containing it.
The room in which the explosion
occurred was wrecked. Ambassador
Herrick arrived at the house two min
utes after the explosion.
Threats to tear down the American
flag over the American embassy here
are contained in many letters received
at the embassy in the last few days
protesting against the conviction in
the United States of Nicolo Sacco and
Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italians, for
the murder of Frederick A. Parmentar,
paymaster of shoe manufacturing
company at Braintree, Mass. In all
between 800 and 400 letters of protest
have been received.
There have been numerous demon
strations by radical elements in Italy
over this case and the Communists
here in Paris have taken up the cam
paign urging their followers to protest
to the embassy and announcing mass
meeting for Friday 1t is reported an
attempt to demonstrate in front of
the embassy is planned to follow the
meeting.
Police and the French ministry of
foreign affairs have been notified and
have taken precautionary measures.
The receipt of the bomb followed
threatening letters which have been
coming to the ambassador in the last
the two Italians recently convicted of
murder in Massachusetts.
The bomb was contained in care
fully made package addressed per-
sonally to the ambassador, who it ap-
pears, might we'll have opened it him
self. as it seemed to be a gift design
ed for him.
The ambassadors valet, however,
happened to see the package and open
ed it to save Mr.. Herrick the trouble.
1t was during the afternoon that the
package was delivered. Immediately
after the explosion Ambassador Her
rick went to the hotel Grillon where
General Pershing is stopping. The
project of police joined the general and
the ambassador there and this evening
they were comforting on the case while
the entire detective service of Paris
was at work in an attempt to trace
the origin of the bomb.
Considerable damage was done the
ambassadors residence, outside the
room where the explosion occurred,
as we'll as within it.
