PROCLAMATION. FOR AMERICAN
 EDUCATION WEEK DEC. s-3

Washington, Nov 19. - President Harding in a proclamation made public today at. the White House sets aside the week of December 3rd to 9th as Amer ican education week. He recommends to- the appropriate national, state and local authorities that they give their cordial support and cooperation and al- so calls upon parents to enlist them selves in behalf of closer understanding between the school and the home.
 The text of the proclamation follows:
 ''The ideals of . democratic govern n1ent and democratic education were planted simultaneously in ioir country. The fathers tightly believed that only a people trained to vision of public needs and duties could develop and maintain the institutions of popular government. The syxteTn of universal education, estab- lished in the Beginnings, has developed. with the country and become one of the characteristic features of our life. In Jt we have laid foundation of that system of American culture which has enabled us. to absorb and, assinilate millions who have come to us from many coun- tries, bringing the traditions of widely varying institutions
 "In order that we may keep in mind the need constantly to improve our edu- CdClOaldl system, NAI JS pIOPOSCN SAielS e'lS week of December S-9, inclusive, be ser aside for special observance as Ameri- can education week. 1t is recommended to- the governors of the states that they cooperate with the educational and civic authorities of their commonwealths to make the week period of revival of interest in the broad work of national education.
 i'It is gratifying to know that in a time when public burdens have lain very heavy upon the people there has been

New 'To-k, Nov. 1s tCBy -tte A. P.)- Continuation of a high rate of indust- rial activity and satisfactory progress of fall trade are indicated by the busi- ness of the past week Steel production has, if anything, improved. and is now stated to be between 75 and 80 per cent of the countryis capacity.
 Cotton consumption returns show that American mills used 534, 900 bales in October, this figure being t3s,ooo larger than for September and setting a new high record for, any month since June 1920., Soft coal production has contin- 'ued at a rate of about 1o,79e, 900 tons a week, or at about the best. attained since he. end of the strike
 Psrhaps the first sign of seasonal slackening whic hmust be expected 1. furnished by the statistics of car load. ings. Total ,loadings for. the week end. ed November amounted to 9s4;oDI cars. which is some 2o,o0o cars below the total for the week before, wficf was the largest for the year. such { decline Is quite natural. the peak of thu traffic movement generally being reach ed in October and having come thii year slightly later than usual.

- New York, Nov. 1S.-Trading in to- days brief session of the stock market was dull and irregular, closing prices generally being slightly higher than last nights final figures. ...-
 Absence of large number of floor traders, who had been responsible for much of the recent activity, accounted for the apparent lack of interest. Pro- fessonal interests uncovered few weak Spots in their campaign of expert mental short selling, but the volume of stocks brought out one the reactions YVES not large.

everywhere 8 determined purpose to maintain education unimpaired, in order that the coming generation may be, equip ped, regardless of sacrifices in the pres ent, for the increasing. responsibilities which it must bear. .
 Without vision the people perish. Without education. there can be little vision. Of education it may be said that it is twice blest; it blesseth. him that gives and him that takes. It will be greatly worth the effort if, as an incident to observance of education week, We can impress this thought upon the young manhood and womanhood of the nation and redirect their interest and patriotic zeal To the idea of making a proper contribution to educational work. It is regrettable that so few young men and women, equipped for such service, are nowadays disposed to give their time and talents to teaching. Education needs their youth, eagerness. zeal and enthusiasm. There is no school of discipline more effective than that in which the teacher goes to school. We could do no greater service than by convincing those young men and women who have enjoyed educational opportu- mites, that they owe. reasonable share of their time and energies to teaching.
 'Fhe strength and security of the nation will always rest in tue intelli- Hgent body of its people Our education should implant conceptions of :, public duty and private obligation broad enough to enyisage the problems of a greatly distraught world. More than anything else, men and women need the capacity to see with clear eye and to contemplate with open, unprejudiced mind, the issues of these times. Only through a properly motivated and gen erously inspired process of education can this be accomplished.
 Tn view, then. of these and many other considerations, hereby proclaim the week of December 3-s as American education week, recommending the ap- Ipropriate national. state and local. au. thorit.es that they give their cordia, support and cooperation to making its observance inspirational and beneficial
 Civic organizations and religious bodies may render special service by their co

 At the same time offerings of wheat have been light and sentiment in the trade has; become distinctly more b1ll- ish. Corn also moved up into new high ground for the year, the December fu- ture getting about 72 cents as compared with a price of 52 cents in August. This Improvement, even more than that in wheat, emphasizes the gain which, has been. achieved in the farmers in come - .--
 In cotton the market has continued to 1uctuate in the ne1ghborhood of 25 and 2s cents despite heavy profit taking Opinion continues to differ as to thss ultimate size of the crop, but something nearer 10,000,00o than 9,000,0 900 bales was talked of during the past week. In any event it is clear that the crop is proving much greater financial suc-f cess than the south anticipated and that business prospects in that district are correspondingly improved...
 A further. decline in the reserve ratio of the federal reserve system adds banking confirmation to the evidences. of growing trade, and conforms 10 the usual seasonal movement The ratio of the system as a whole now stands at. J 75.R per cent which is 3.4 per cent above that of year ago. and which in- dicates an ample reserve supply of cred 1t accommodation. .-. Q
 The decline from the high point Of the year amounts to only 5.2 per cent. No further increases occurred in the price of money and the rate on cali
