NJ. Davidson, superintendent of schools
of Pittsburgh, addressing the District
Education Association last night at

reau of education in the Presidents s
cabinet which would stimulate, and
not control. public education.
DR.. Davidson. who was Superintend-

he based his contention that education
would occupy one of the highest places
N any group of six leading businesses
in the country. He said hat the total

100000 were employed in actual in
struction. while the other million were
found in the ranks of members of
boards Of education. janitorial staffs
and others. The work performed by
this staff, he said. caters to the needs
of 2S,000.000 children and youths in
