u S COMMISSIONER OF EDUCATION SAYS
CULTURE, OBJECTIVE, NEED OF SCHOOLS

inefficeincy all the work that is
done on the farm can be done in
two or three days by the indus
tries"
The speaker pointed out that the
slavery question in the south did
more harm to the white people
than it harmed the American ne
gro. He praised the philosophy of
education of Booker T. Washing
ton as a creed for all nations to
follow. One Of the greatest faults
of the American people today is
that they know so little about our
public institutions, DR.. Tigert de-
clared. He asserted that he be-
lieved that there were not more
than a hundred people in the whole
United States that knew what was
in the constitution of the United
States. "If I told you about the
total ignorance of the people in re-
gard to the constitution of the
United States you would think L
was saying that we were all litter
ates," he stated.
The character of the school
children is being undermined, he
said, pointing out that it is not ne
cessary to introduce religion in the
schools to build character. "Abso-
lutte religious liberty in the state
schools is very important. How
ever, number of the cities in the
United States have introduced the
Bible in their daily program, and
everywhere today we are making
out new programs Of education, and
citizenship and character building
are being stressed, the commission
er declared in closing.

But Hopes Public Will Not Take
 Slams Too Seriously

Washington. Feb. 2 P-Presidcnt Coolidge has not been insensible to the repeated attacks against his ad. ministration made recently in and out of congress. and he is hoping the country will not take these criti- cisms too seriously.

 The country can rest assured, he believes. that this is being done despite efforts to make the situation appear otherwise.
 He thinks 1t ought to be remem- bcred in taking stock of the situa- tion that this is the reason why there Is q tendency to inject politics into public discussions.
 On such subjects asthe recent at- tacks on the department of justice and criticism of his own course In dealing with the tariff commission the president prefers to remain silent. Renewed attempts to secure comment on these subjects from the White House failed.
