High School the past semester re-

cured for this position Mrs. Heatriee
Y. Woodside OF Greeley, Colorado,
who Is now in charge OF this work,
Mrs. Woodside comes very highly
recommended and we are very glad
TO have her as a member OF our
faculty.
Three night classes are now in fun
swing with d good enrolment. Con-
siderable interest las been manifest
cd in this work. There are about
30 enrolled in the AmetRanizatfon
class for foreigners, about, q dozen In
the Blue Print Glass for shopnan,
and fifteen are enrolled in the Public

of still more enrolling in these

The original Smith-Tuwner Bill
which has been revised and is now
known as the Demonstrating Bill IL
o pending in Congress and will
soon be voted upon, very probably.
AS is generally known his bill pro-
vides for a Department of Education
with a Secretary in the Presidents
Cabinet. The National Educational
Association together with Il great
many other organizations, is back of
this bill. Teachers and ali school
people as we'll as friends of educa-
zion haIjnyn that tho " 1nf,,nn -
this bill into law would be "A great
help to the cause of education
throughout the country.
More and more it is bein: recog-
nized that education is one of the
great functions OF government in
democracy. Those who arc afraid OF
giving the national government con-
troll of education by such u bill as
this need only to examine the work
ings of the Smith-Hughcs Act to
find that this fear is unfounded. The
Smith Hughes Act provides aid by
the Federal Government for indus
trial and vocational education in tho
various states. The states do not
feel that they have given up control
Of education and yet this act has
been found very beneficial .cnnabline
the states to carry on a phase Of
education which ordinarily they
would be unable to carry out IN
aided.
The Demonstrating Bill amply
safeguards the rights OF the indfv1d-
ual states in the control of education
so that danger is eliminated. There
Is no good reason why the Federal
Government should not devote a por-
ton Of It's funds to the bettcrment
nrl nI,oo - xl,,nno, i~oa
much as the National Government =
concerned with education az much -
the state government. i. 6. an in
telligent and educated electorate Ia
needed as much by the National
Government as by the state and local
government. Those who are inter
