Bishop Assails Maine
Education Tax Distribution

Boston, Jan. 22-Discussion of the
collection and distribution of the
education tax in Maine, particularly
as it affects the parochial schools of
the State marked the sessions of the
New England Regional Conference Of
Educators today. Bishop Louis S.
Walsh of Portland criticized the law.
declaring it wrong and n-American.
A report on the conditions of the
rural schools in Maine had been pre-
sented by State Supervisor w. A.
Allen, who said that the question of
securing enough money for schools
was not only one of taxation, but
equally one of distribution Of the
money raised"
Referring to the Lewiston local
appropriation, Bishop Walsh said
there were 2700 children attending
Catholic public schools there. When
the State education tax is enforced,
, he said, these children are counted
and a sum amounting to about $13,-
500 is given the city for their educa-
ton. But when the money is distri-
buted he declares not one cent goes
for these children. You can collect
the tax on principle" he added, land
when you distribute it you shut your
eyes to these 200 children,
Mr.. Allen replied that the, differ
ence lay in the fact that the children
to whom Bishop Walsh alluded, pre-
ferred not to attend the public
schools. Commissioner Augustus o.
Thomas of Maine, attempted to get
the floor, but the chairman checked
the debate. r
Physical training was called the
most important movement Of the day
by DIR. Charles w. Eliot.
I'VE are leading hasty, busy, too
busy, lives" he continued. 1t is a
great threatening blight; it threat
ems not only the mental health of the
people, but the physical health as
well. More and more we can see
men in active business breaking
down and we see the reduced capa-
city of women for child bearing, all
due to this hurrying, bustling life to
which we are subjected.
There are some very important
changes needed, in the American
school. / think it is fundamental
that we have new methods of in
struction. of discipline and of train
ing. there is all too common an
opinion that there is no useful train
ing except in unattractive, repulsive
training. This is just opposite of the
truth for child or adult"

moon in which the Smith Touyror
bill for federal aid in education fur

Too Much johnson

(SpTluSuelQ - uloil, INtp.J
II it is true, as correspondents re-
port, that Mr.. Harding finds it diff
cult to appoint Mr.. Hoover to a place
in his Cabinet because Senator John
son considers it would be a personal
affront; also that General Woods
friends are met with the fact that his
appointment would be resented by
Senator johnson because last year
the General SO largely mustered the
old Progressive forces behind his
candidacy; also that Senator john
sons opposition is responsible for the
fact that Mr.. Root will not be in the
Cabinet; also that various other
things cannot take place because
Senator Johnson would consider it
distasteful or worse to him, we can
only say that it is plainly a case of
too much Johnson"
We are inclined to think as yet
that, however much Senator Johnson
may have made his desires and dis
likes known, he is not to govern the
situation. We are not prepared,
either by nature or study, to accept
the fact that before anything is done
in this country, it will be necessary
to discover whether Senator John
son likes it or not. We are not ready
to admit that the party, the Govern
ment and the nation in their policy
and destiny should be guided SO ex-
tensively by the likes and dislikes of
anyone, nor ready to accept as inevi-
table the principle that any indivm-
ual must be scrupulously placated in
order to keep him politically straight.
We should say rather that man who
cannot be kept straight unless he is
SO placated isn't worth while. We
are not in favor of allowing a poten-
