URGES AGAINST
 MORE CONTROL
Educational Methods Should Be
 Unhanpered by Edict

Washington, May "A plea for the guidance Of educational effort by fact unhampered by the "craze for control by edict" as re- flected in the mass of laws and sta tutes still being added to, Is made in the reports of Dr. Charles Riborg Mann. its director, to the American council on education, in annual con- vention here.
 We are so submerged in this legal process of control" Mir. Mann told the assembled educators, which may or may not harmonize with facts, that We naively follow the le- gal habit in our educational think ing. We are still thinking and act ing in terms of the characteristic ca1egories of control by fiat.
 Have not four states recently placed on their statute books laws prohibiting the teaching of evolu- { ton in public schools? xxxxx Performers everywhere are clam bring zealously for legislation as | the quick and easy means of making mon orthodox. They seem deter mined to leave no legal Ioophope open through which dssentors may even peep at the pastures of person. al freedom individual responsibility and self-control in which our fore bears raised men capable Of self government"
 Only by acceptance Of the thesis that facts control education" Dr. Mann said, can the way be opened to satisfactory solution of the prob lem of how the federal government can best aid in stimulating educs- ti3nal growth without usurping its control by the people.
