DEPARTM EMIT OF
EDUCATION

DELEGATES at the N. E. A
I'D convention in Indianapolis
- enthusiastically Endorsed
the bill before Congress for the
creation Of Federal department
of education with a secretary in
the Presidents cabinet. For five
years the teachers have been push
ing this proposal.
According to the present plan
the proposed department would
have only a modest appropriation
and would devote it's activities to
research, collection of educational
statistics and other useful infor-
nation. Federal aid for schools
or interference with State manage
ment of schools is not cortem-
plated-at first.
Probably a Federal department
of education will be created, If not
now, eventually. Why not?
Commerce, labor and agriculture
already have Federal departments
headed by cabinet officers. There
are more school children in the
country than business men. farm
ers. or laborers. Why shouldn't
their welfare be Of equal interest
to the national Government?
Such arguments by the support
ers of the proposal for Federal
recognition of education are I'M
answerable.
But if a department Of educa-
ton is a proper function Of the
national Government why not
Federal departments of religion,
health. entertainment and so on
indefinitely? Where can the line
limiting Governmental activities be
logically drawn?
If the present tendency to ex-
pand the functions Of the national
Government continues, soon State
lines might as we'll be rolled up
and deposited in a museum

only relics.

VANISHING
HOME INFLUENCE

RI. N. SHERWOOD. superin-
Hi tendent of public instruc-
ton of Indiana, addressing
the teachers convention, declared
the moral training Of children IS
being neglected by parents. The
vanishing home influence, he be-
heves, is responsible for the pre-
valence OF juvenile criminals.
Probably he is right. other
educators, judges. and welfare
workers make the same complaint.
And more and more the burden
Of moral training and ethical in
struction for children is being en-
trusted to the schools and similar
organizations.
Rearing children is still major
social problem despite the fact that
it has been an important human
occupation since Cain and Abel

consequences. No infallible system
has been devised.
Proper child training IS both an
individual and a collective social
responsibility. At present the
tendency is to make It a collective
responsibility and train them en-
masse in school. The results are
not altogether gratifying-as dis
closed by juvenile court records.
Troops can be trained In
platoons and companies and on a
wholesale scale. Dogs. perform
ing seals. acrobatic goldfish and
children require individual treat
ment. Proper attention to the in
dividual child can only be given by
individual parents.
OF course some children who
have been reared by diligent and
faithful parents end their careers
on the gallows or in political Of
fees. Nevertheless raising chill
dren is. and must remain. essential
ly a home industry-not a pro-
fession, but a handicraft.

Almost coincident with the In
auguration Of this night service
postal authorities asked for bids

lines. Also recently Ford Motor
and other large corporations have
become interested in development
of commercial air lines.
Apparently we are right on the

Novels

re 1PEAKING Of the evolution law, S. Il.
- Smith, State director of Tennessee for
the National Education Association, attending
the n E. A. convention here said:
Down in Tennessee we regarded the act
as a joke and it still is. About the only thing
established so far is that every child following
the theory Of wanting the forbidden fruit is
smuggling treatises on evolution out back of
the barn and devouring them as they formerly
did the wild West dime novel"
Perhaps the anti-evolutionists are doing

week was devoted to Victor Herbert S

WASHINGTON

COMMEMORATIVE Of the 150th ami
VI versary of George Washington taking
command Of the Continental Army, President
Coolidge's speech at Cambridge, Mass, Friday
was not without it's international, as well as
national, Importance.
The Old World and the new come in for
a lecture Was Washington an isolationist,
he asked in effect No, said the President:
''He harmonized the divergent and con-
ficting interests of different nationalities and
different colonial governments by conference
and agreement. He demonstrated by his
arguments, and our country has demonstrated
by experience, that more progress can be made
by cooperation than by conflict.
'The world has not outgrown, it can never
outgrow, the absolute necessity for conformity
to these eternal principles I want to see Amer
lea assume leadership among the nations in
the reliance upon the good faith Of mankind
do not see how civilization can expect perna-
nent progress on any other theory. If what Is
saved in the productive peace of today is to be
lost in the destructive war Of tomorrow, the
people Of this earth can look forward to moth
ing but everlasting servitude There is no
justification for hope. This was not the con-
ception which Washington had of life. -
So much for those Americans whose
principal stock in trade is the theory that
Washington were he President now, would tell
the rest of the world to go hang.
And this was his message to Europe:
EFF the people of the Old World are
mutually distrustful of each other let them
enter into mutual covenants for their mutual
security, and when such covenants have been
made let them be solemnly observed no mat
ter what the sacrifice.
Such course would be sure to endow
the participating nations with an abundant
material and spiritual reward. On what other
basis can there be any encouragement for a
disposition to attempt to finance a revival Of
Europe2"
Here we find a repetition of Ambassador
Houghton s warning of few weeks ago Now,
however, it comes at critical time The new
European security pact, suggested by Germany
and fostered in slightly altered form by
Britain and France, is in the balance The
various parliaments have yet to ratify it. The
Presidents open advocacy of it is likely to
meet with criticism in England, France and
other countries where the pact has its enemies.
Here at home the speech will bring goose
flesh to the tender skins of our isolationists.

as 1t goes the advice is fundamentally sound

Haynes to Retire as Dry Boss

The recent appointment of former
BriSadier General Andrews as coor-
dinator Of all prohibition enforce
ment bureaus, including the coast
guard and customs service, forecasts
the retirement Of Haynes. AS Cen
eral Andrews has gradually taken
hold Haynes has been crowded to
the rear.
Recent report that Hayne would
retire to seek the Republican nomina-
ton for governor of Ohio is re-
garded us a complimentary paving
of the way. The Ohio gubernatorial
primaries will not occur until
August, 1926, and If Haynes wished
to capitalize his prohibition promi-
hence he would continue at his post
as long as possible.
