EDUCATOR EXTOLS
ADVERTISING POWER
Chief Factor in Modern Busi-

NEWSPAPER ITS MEDIUM
DR.. Strayer Supports Move
ment for Federal Depart
ment of Education.

DEs MONIES, July 5.--Advertising is the
most important factor in modern busi-
ness, Dr. John J. Tigert United States
Commissioner of Education, declared In
an address before the National Educa-
ton Association here to-day.
Important as are the factors of la
bor raw material, production, marketing
an organization, none of these are as
significant to-day as advertising" he
said.
''In 1911 the newspaper was the great
est medium of advertising and 1t still
stands as such. 1t Is the only medium
that can be used for immediate effect
Opposition to the inclusion of educa-
ton as one of the subdivisions in the
proposed Federal Department Of Public
Welfare was expressed by DR.. George
ID. Strayer of New York, chairman of
the legislative committee of the associa-
ton.
The legislative committee, he reported,
insists that If the Department of Public
Welfare Is created education should be
taken out of ii, so that friends of educa-
ton might be permitted to continue ef-
forts for an independent department of
education.
Dr. Strayer reported that the COM
mittee had met with powerful in
fiuences that were intended to defeat
our purposes" IN supporting the Smltn-
Towner bill before the last session of
Congress. The bill provides for the
creation of separate Federal Depart
ment Of Education.
1--WE have preserved our organiza-
tion," he said, "and we have continued
our efforts. Members of Congress have
come to respect the organized teachers
Of the country as never before. Mem
bers of our profession have come to real
ize that by working together we can
become a great influence for the pro-
motion OF the highest ideals of our
country"

NO REPORT MADE ON
NAVAL PREPAREDNESS
Sims Right in Statement About
Investigation.
Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
WA shin pton. II. O.. JuIy 4.

Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., July 5.
Rear Admiral William S. Sims was
right when he stated yesterday that
the Senate Naval Committee never had
made report on its investigation last
year of the Navy Departments pre-
paredness for war. The investigation
resulted from the public controversy
between Admiral Sims and Secretary
Daniels and caused sensation at the
time. A mass of testimony was taken
on both sides.
Admiral Sims appeared as the chief
witness in his own behalf. in support
of his charge that he did not receive
proper support from the Navy Depart
ment during the recent conflict. Secre-
tary Daniels defended his administra-
ton in a long statement.
Since then the committee apparently
has forgotten about the matter. The
truth seems to be that the members
were not convinced that either side had
made a case. The airing OF the con-
troversy through the public hearing re-
suited chiefly in a clash OF expert opin-
lon, according to. the view of most of
the Senators on the committee.
In any event the committee did not
take enough interest in the subject
after the public hearings to make a
report.
