PRESIDENT APPROVES
OUTDOOR RECREATION
II, 900, 900 Tliterates and Near.
IlliterateS i'm United
States

WASHINGTON, d. c., May H.
The recommendation of President
Coolidge that greater attention be
given to open-air recreation, and the
calling of a conference to discuss
the subject, are receiving approval by
social workers and public spirited
citizens. That the people should be
encouraged to more outdoor activi-
ties is obvious, and efforts to this end
are most commendable.
There is a growing feeling, howev-
er, that the more important subject
of education is not receiving the at
tention it deserves. President Cool
idge in his first message to congress
stressed the needs of popular educa-
ton and recommended the creation
Of a department of education, but
that was the end of it so far as con-
gressional action is concerned. There
is no subject of greater importance
to the nation or fraught with more
significance than the promotion OF
popular education.
With twenty million illiterates
and near-illiterates in this country
with public school facilities far be
w" IilC NCllIdIlO, WIFI VI
children denied the right of educa-
ton, in both cities and rural districts
with vast alien populations unable tc
speak or read English, the problem
of popular education takes the posi-,
tion of first rank.
There is an increasing sentiment
| throughout the country that the
claims of education cannot longer be
ignored. The condition of illiteracy
is becoming acute, and the people
will not much longer tolerate the
side-tracking of the problem out Of
consideration for personal ambition!
and partisan expediency.
Promote open-air recreation, but al
the same time definite legislative &C
ton should be taken to meet the
more important question.
