BALLOT ON FEDERAL
AID FOR EDUCATION
Chamber Of Commerce Referendum
Covers Three Phases Of Question
of Extension.

Members OF the Chamber Of Com

asked today by the chamber to cast
their vote in a general referendum
on the question OF extending the
federal governments interest In edu-
cation. Organizations making up the
chambers membership were asked to
vote on the three following PROPOSE
tions:
Do you favor creation of a fed
eral department of education with a
secretary IN the Presidents cabinet?
Do You favor enlarging the pres
ent federal bureau OF education?
Do you favor the principle of fed
eral aid to education in the states on
the basis of the states appropriating
sums equal to those given by the
federal government
Two Reports ON Bill
The three questions to be voted on
are to be embodied as the principal
subjects dealt with by the chambers
committee on education, which has
prepared reports on the Towner-
The signers of the majority report on
the latter proposals say that the edu-
cational system Of the country has

ment without federal control and
that the states can obtain funds
within their own borders TO meet
educational needs. They further say
there Is no need for a secretary OF
education in the cabinet
Signers of the minority report
point out that, as at present consti-
tuted, the nations educational sys-
tenn has defects which are a menace
to national life, and favor passage
of the Demonstrating bill.
