the United States by the Constitution.
Anyway, Senator Norbeck of South
Record before congress adjourned an
address with the title: constitutional
and Political Significance of Federal
Legislation on Education" by his col
league, Senator Sterling, who intro
duced the bill.
Senator Sterling analyzes these
parts of the Constitution which have
a bearing on the general welfare"
sets forth federal legislation as en-
bodied in the several Morrill, acts, and
concludes thus:
"There are present-day exigencies
not within the scope of existing legis
lation to aid in meeting which is, in
my judgment, the imperative duty Of
the general government. They cannot
be met by submerged and unrelated
bureau in the Department of the In
terror, empowered to gather and dis-
tribute statistical information. nor
can they be adequately met by fed
eral contributions only for specific
objects to be matched by equal con-
tributions on the part of the states ac
cepting them. The vital Importance
of the subject, it's intimate relation to
the well-being and safety of the peo-
ple-and this is the highest law-as
we'll as the dignity of the subject, all
combine to urge as the next great step
the creation of a Department of Edu-
cation, with its secretary a member of
the Presidents cabinet, whose proper
function it shall be not alone to ad-
minister funds apportioned to the
states, important though this may be,
but through investigation and re-
search to cover the whole field of our
educational resources and needs; and
which, without dictation, without ig-
noring state plans or encroaching upon
the freedom of state initiative, shall
from its higher vantage ground en-
courage, stimulate and lead in every
constitutional cooperative educa-
tional enterprise that will enhance the
general welfare"

Mr.. Layton incorporates in his re-
marks letters from college presidents,
state superintendent of education
and newspaper editors opposed to the
new department. He sets forth in de-
tail twelve reasons why the new de-
partment should not be established.

Th ese much-vexed
questions are brought sharply to the
fore by the approval of the President
of a plan of reorganization of the ex-
ecutive departments of the govern
ment-which includes the establish
ment of the proposed new department.
There has been for some time a
Joint Committee on the Reorganiza-
tion of Government Departments. Its
chairman Is Walker +. Brown of Ohio,
who is the personal representative of
President Harding. He is not a men,
Der Of congress. The three senators
are Reed Smoot of Utah, vice chair
man; James w. Wadsworth, Jr., of
New York, and Pat Harrison of Mis-
sissippi. The three representatives
are ]. Stanley Webster of Washington,
Henry w. Temple of Pennsylvania and
r. Walton Moore of Virginia.
This joint committee prepared a
plan of reorganization and submitted
it to the President for amendment and
approval. The President took it up
with the cabinet, and then began
lively ructions. Now, however, the
President has returned the reorganiza-
tion plans to Chairman Brown with
the following letter:
my Dear Mr.. Brown: | hand you
herewith chart which exhibits in de-
tail the present organization of the
government departments and the
changes suggested after numerous con-
ferences and consultations with the
various heads of the executive branch

dinating all agencies of national de-
Tense, have the sanction of the cab
snet. In a few instances, which l be
leve are of minor Importance, the
principle of major purpose has not
been followed to the letter, in order to
avoid controversies which might jeop-
ardize reorganization as whole.

said to the members of the Joint Com
mittee on Reorganization-th | re-
