yite prcs;ica: Harding 70 issue a
! Proclamation for the observance OF
/ .his week. be President has given
assurance his desire and willingness

The Bureau Of E,iuca;ion has az
ranged with the InterGepartmenss Ad

Radio Bro2 dcasting to use the
| Governments broaG>as;:iilg stations
twice day throughout the week fer
; the PRONUNCIATION OF educa.ion radio
material in connection W ! the
weeks campaign.
The Commissioner OF Education
.alied upon W;ll II. Hays, president
cf the Motion Picture Producers and
Distributors of America, % discover
| 70 what extent the mot on-picture
houses Of America would cooperate.
Mr.. Hays was We enerous and en-
thusiastic and has >.eiinitely arranged
for the working out of a program III
which the facilities Of The motion
picture houses may be used effective
ly during American Education WeeE.
| All governors, mayors, and others
1 m places of executive authority are
expected and invited to issue procla-
nations and otherwise promote gen
2ral observance of :his great move
ment in behalf CT education. The
newspapers and press generally have
| oeen invited to issue special ed1ca-
tional editions if possible, and if this
is not possible to emphasize eGnca-
ton during these days by editorials,
| special articles. and in such other
| ways as they find possible.
| Il seemed wise, in order that The
campaign might be concentrated upon
| phases CT education which are of out;
! standing significance, to designate
certain days on which topics should
be stressed. These days are as fol-
| ows: Sunday, December. 8, God and
! Country; Monday, December 4,
| American Citizenship; Tuesday, De-
cenlber 5, Patriotism; Wednesday. De
cenber 6, School and Teacher; Thurs
| iay, December Z, Illiteracy: Friday,
| December S, Equality of Opportunity
md Saturday, December 9. Physical
| Education and Hygiene. These topics
aave been selected because they are
considered to be matters of national
Importance and desirable ehorughout
5he country. It is suggested that
these topics should not preclude ths
various States from emphasizing those
features of education which need to
respective States, nor should they
be emphasized at this time IN theiG
prevent cities and localities from
pushing their individual needs.
It hardly seems necessary to urge
lpon the schools and thosa responsible
for the administration and instruction
in the schools that it IS expected that
ell will join in he general observance
OF promoting education during
American Education Week IL the Ut
most extent Of their abilities Pro-
grams can be effectively arranged
throughout al Of our schools which
will materially enhance the value Of
this general effort.
! At the time Of present writing a
Te.y large number Of State Supccin-
sendents and State Commissioners Of
Education have responded enthusias-
5ica!ly in endorsing the observance Of
American Education Week and none
have expressed opposition or ind!f-
ference. The unity of effort ard in
terest which has already been display
ed is but an earnest and evidence that
bids fair to be the greatest campaign
for cGacation that has ever been
made in the United States
