deepest appreciation to the Secretary
of State. Frank B. Kellogg. for the
service he has rendered all countries
in bringing together so many nations
to condemn recourse to war fer the
solution of international controversies
and renounce it as an instrument OF
national policy In their relations with
one another l. am sure you will all
tell your Senators that you hope for
a speedy ratification of the multilateral
treaty when they meet in December.
Carrying out the programs of the
other five departments lays out much
OF the work of the department of
education. For one of its important
features will be to improve the agen-
cies necessary to realization of the
detectives set up in the other oe-
partments, so that there will be, not
only a better installation and wider ex-
tension of knowledge among the young
and the mature. but more effective
translation of that knowledge into fam
lily and community power.
Our department of press and pub
lirity and our legislative department
will assist in carrying out the programs
of the other six departments"

sble products often carry from 3 70
