Representative T o wner
Addresses Parent

The best public schools OF the
nation should be in Washington"
This was the standard set for
Washington school supporters by
Representative Horace M. Towner.
Of Iowa. in an address to the Par
ent-Teachers' Association OF Pea
body School last night More than
hundred parents heard the ad-
dress. ~
Declaring that the. public schools
in this city have been neglected.
both by citizens and Congress-. Rep
resentative Towner said. Congress
exercises no direct control over
the schools of any other city in
the United States. AS the govern
ing body of the richest nation of
the world. II ought to see to II that
the one city in which II does have
control has the best schools in this
nation. They should be models for
all other cities.
Haven't Asked Enough.
The people OF Washington have
not asked for too much school
money. the speaker declared. They
have not as;ied for enough money"
he stated. Every dollar that Is
demanded for training the child
should be given, in order that this
training may be done In the best
known way"
Commenting on the pride that
washingtonians take in the beauty
of the city. Representative Towner
called attention to poorer sections
of the city where The scale of liv-
ing is low. Although conditions
in Washington are not as bad as
they are in most large cities" he
stated. mo community can claim to
be civilized as long as there are
ignorance and poverty in it's
slums."
A compulsory education law. the
speaker declared. only partially
meets the need. The nation should
have not only universal education.
but thorough education. A half
educated individual instead OF be-
coming a good citizen may become
a menace. he stated.
Preceding the address a musical
program was presented.
