EDUCATION STILL
NEGLECTED, ROTES
TOLD By MINISTER

Expert information on education
and the educational problem in the
United States was given to East
Moline Rotarians. by Rev L. V. Har-
mon of the East Moline Methodist
church at yesterdays luncheon.
He gained his intimate knowledge
OF the problem during the 10
months that he served in the bu-
reau Of education at Washington.
and he used figures of a recent sur
vey as basis for his plea for great
er concern and greater interest in
educational matters.
Rev. Mr.. Harmon summarized the
principal objects of education as
the means of developing a being
which is immature. He spoke of
character and personality. and de-
clared that any education which
does not fit human for a~place in
human society is a menace to man
kind.
Following are some of the strik-
ing points he made in the course of
his address:
The race question is not of vital
importance today. The great prob
lem in the AmericaniZing of the
thousands of foreigners who pour
into our country with a wrong con-
cephon Of our government and the
principles upon which it is found
ed
1t does not take all kinds of peo-
pie to make a world. There are
many, right in our midst, whom we
could do without.
The educational problem is a ma
/ uonal problem. Statistics show
that there are 24.500,000 students
IN the schools of the United States.
There are 100000 in the common
or grade schools, 100000 in the
high schools, 5000 in the colleges
and universities, and 100000 in
private schools And there are
$4,000, or almost one-haIf as MANY
as IN the higher institutions, in
schools for sub-normals.
The United States is spending
Sb-zS per capita for education. One
year the state Of Nebraska spent
more for the vaccination of hogs
than it did for education.
We spend II per cent mora for
Jalls, prisons and court houses than
we do for schools.
Inc south is poor TODAY becaDse
its resources have been exhibited
by men from the north.
Ignorance is a breeder OF wire
crime, unholiness and unrighteons-
ness, as well as disease and sick
ness And our moral and physical
welt being are dependent upon ed
ucation.
Our political future depends upon
HE interest taken in educational
matters. -i''-
Government is the most stable
where the rate of i1lfteracv is the
lowest.
In concluding his remarks Raw
MT Harmon declared it to ne a ma
triotic duty to encourage ana to
promote education. The limited
States, he said, did not enter the
World war for any material gain
but out Of it has come a mass If
valuable information concernine
ourselves. -i'-ie
We have a firmer grip on GER
tain ideals as the resuIt NJ tbie
great conflict. It is the duty of
every loyal American to nreserya
these ideals and to hand them down
10 the coming generations
