COOLIDGE ASKS
SCHOOLS DEPT.
Tells Teachers He Favors
Creating Secretaryship
of Education.

Washington.-Cre of new cab1-
net position Of secretary Of education
and relief at the head of Depart
ment of Education was indorsed by
President Coolidge In his July Fourth
address before the closing session of
the National Education association
convention here.
The President took opportunity In
his address to voice the patriotic SEN
dred and forty-eighth anniversary OF
the Declaration of independence and
to express himself upon the question
of education. Unknown to the assem-
blage, he left the bedside of his seri-
ously ill son, Calvin, Jr., long enough
to make the address and then hur-
ried back.
Declaring that ignorance is the
"most fruitful source of poverty, vice
and crime" Mr.. Coolidge came out for
compulsory education.
The ten thousand school teachers
and educators who crowded the Cen
trail High school stadium gave the
President the warmest of receptions.
His remarks were loudly applauded
and his hearers interrupted him sew
eral times by standing and cheering.
Stressing the point that education
SHOULD be the handmade of citizen
ship" President Coolidge said:
ION this day of all days it ought to
be made clear that America has had
It's revolution and placed the power Of
government squarely, securely and en-
tireIy in the hands Of the people.
"For the most part our institutions
are attacked" he said later on, in
the name of social and economic re-
form. Unless there be some teaching
of sound economics in the schools, the
voter and the taxpayer Is in danger
of accepting vague theories which lead
only to social discomfort and public
disaster.
"The body polite has little chance
of choosing patriotic officials who can
administer it's financial affairs with
wisdom and safety unless there is a
general diffusion Of knowledge and in
formation on elementary economic
subjects sufficient to create and ade-
Quately to guide public opinion.
1.-THE cause Of education has long
had the thoughtful solicitude Of the
national government. While 1t Is real
tied that 1t is a state affair, rather
than national affair, nevertheless 1t
has provided by law bureau OF edu-
cation
