PARK FUND VETO

While officials of the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission

ton of 100000 annually for acquisi-
ton of lands in the metropolitan dis

pointed out today. nevertheless the
failure of the measure would serve 10
delay further the putting into erect
of the plans for Improvement, so far
as the Federal Government activities
arc concerned
Col Grant said he planned to have an
interview with Director Lord OF the
Bureau of the Budget to determine
whether the action was to be taken as
in opposition to the proposal Of Federal
aid for parks and Fairgrounds. or
whether 1t was an eXpedient to save
money for this year.
It was the plan if such a fund was
provided. that the Federal Government
in extending the District park system
into the two adjacent districts should
meet proposed State appropriations
dollar for dollar.
The Maryland Legislature at its last
session provided 100000, to be split be.
tween the counties of Montgomery and
Prince Georges. Efforts now are be-
ing made to determine whether Mary
land will use its funds for park pur-
chascs. in the hope that some time ic
future the Federal Government Will

the only part that some people have
in the making of this great nation.
Working together and planning for
the best education that they can sup
port, the plain American people have
built up one of the most successful,
practical and resoureeful educational
systems in the world today. The
public schools have been modelled
by the common people, (the wealthy
class have their private schools.) and
the splendid service of our boys in
the World war bears witness that this
system is SUCCESS. Let us beware

so, we are directly aiding the cen

WRITES ABOUT FODDER PLANT

Editor Askov American:
There seems to be considerable eX-
citement in this community about a
grass or fodder plant. The following
letter will undoubtedly be appreciat-
ed by those interested.
Askov, Mimi, Apr. %, 1928.
Mr. Lars Fredericksen,
Prof. Royal Ayr. College.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Dear Friend:
1t is a long time since last we
heard from you. 1t is special &C.
casion that tempts me to write you
at present.
One of our county agents in the
southern part of the state has come
across a grass evidently brought over
by an emigrant from Germany many
years ago. 1t grows on very moist
soil, occasionally overlooked in the
spring. This grass and the cured hay
have been tested in our State Agri-
cultural College and found to be
equal to Alfalfa. He gives the name
to be Phalaris. This name seemed
familiar to me and prompted me to
dig up in my old records and papers.
First, l found one of my old catalogs
from 1885 from Denmark where /
had listed Phalaris Arundinacea
among hardy perennials. Next,
found in Miller Hoist Ayr. Lexicon,
1910 Oh ol.r;,,c ron riopc;c &c on on
nual grass. Next, l consulted Gray's
Botany, 1887. There l found Phal-
arius Canariensis, Phi Digraphis and
Phalaris Arundinacea, then l wrote
three letters, one to Germany, one to
France and one to Field Grass as
sociation, Copenhagen for information
and samples.
In talking this over with a young
man (Hans A. Hansen) just recently
arrived from Denmark, Mr.. Hansen
happened to mention your name and
it struck me that you must be the
! man who could throw light on the
origin and quality as well as source
of this plant. l am confident that
you will know something about it,
as such a plant cannot have existed
i'll Denmark or Germany without be-
ing known to your agricultural col
leges, perhaps under different
name, so it is up to you to solve this
mystery and if possible, have some
seed sent to me for experiment and
in time permanently occupying our
Minnesota swamps of which we have
an abundance as you well know.
After all the foregoing, l consulted
the Miller Hoist Lexicon once more
and found under Diagraphis Arun-
dinacea, the following description. A
very prominent perennial, grass with

BILLS AFFECTING SCHOOLS
Third letter.

(InlrQ LeCter)
If Senate Bill No. 291 is passed
there will be established a bureauc-
racy with far reaching influence, and
by-lines of activity.
l call your attention to only a, few
of these various effects of such a
bureau.
The commissioner of education of
France reports: I'VE have three mil
lion children in state schools. At
precisely 1890 am. they recite the
same lesson; spell the same words in
given time-a perfect machine"
! This system was tried out in one
of our states thirty years ago. Wheth-
er it still is used there l do not
know but at that time teachers were
not enthusiastic about it. The les
sons in all grades were planned by
state officials each week and mailed
out to every teacher week in adj
vance Text books had to be the
same in every school and methods,
of course, had to follow the outlines
for the texts whether the teachers
training had been along these or
other modes. There was no cortrac-
tion or expansion of the course pos
sible. No individuality in prepara-
ton or presentation. of lessons. A
dull sameness and the too much
harmony" that artists tell us leads
to monotony."
In the recent report of the Car
negie Foundation for Advancement
we find: There has come relation
in the party sense that must give rise
to apprehension in the minds of
thoughtful men.
Through the National Educational
association, the public school teach
ers of the country are being organ
lied en- bloc in support of a bill
before Congress (Curtis-Reed billy.
Among other provisions, large APP
preparation available for partial pay
ment of salaries.
1 am afraid that the teachers are
attracted by this Large appropria-
ton" and the hope OF tenure of Of
flee regulations, instead of the sup
posed increased efficiency of teachers
and pupils.
Our system of government was ad
mirably designed to afford a fair
means of protection to each individ
ual and each group and that each
must rise or fall by individual eff
fort. We are not to conform to
certain pattern of appearance or to
set rules for our daily living:
Plain, common men and women can
get together in their communities
anG organize, support and control a
public school. 1t binds them in a
common interest and stirs them up
to the activities of self government.

RAMSEYER LECTURE
HERE INTERESTING
Duluth Mission Worker Gives
Vivid Review Of His Long Ex-
perience i'm Field; Tells of
Good Churches Do.

An intensely interesting review of
his 20 years in missionary work in
Minnesota and other northwest states,
was given last Sunday evening in
Bethlehem Danish Lutheran church
here, by Rev. Henry Eicher Ram
seyer of Duluth, who also told of the
work the Northern Bible Society is
doing to spread the word of God
throughout the country.
The meeting Sunday evening was
in the nature of a regular church
service with the singing of hymns,
praying and speaking, augmented by
Rev. Mr. Ramseyer's story of his own
experiences.
Reviews Old Days.
Old-time- mission meetings in Du-
luth in the hey-day of the lumber
jack; experiences with one Andy Egan
who was a notorious character, hav-
ing had the record of spending &c
years out of 60 behind prison bars.
and of his ultimate confession of his
sins, resulting in his turning over a
new leaf, and many other interest
ing incidents of the early days of his
work, were wildly described.
That there still is a great deal of
missionary work to- be done in the
United States, was the statement of
Rev. Mr.. Ramseyer, who pointed out
that out of the 21 million families in
this country, there are about 7,O0O,-
600 families who have no bibles in
their homes.
The Northern Bible Society, he said,
is doing splendid work in placing the
bible in the homes of the country.
Tens of millions of poor families
have been supplied with the Good
Book" the pastor said, which has
been distributed in 16 languages.
Visits Foreign Lands.
Rev. Mr.. Ramseyer spent consider
able time travelling year ago, visit
ing eight European countries. He told
of conditions in some of those visited,
and of the especially bad state offaf-
fairs in Mexico.
Concluding, the speaker said that
the church should come in for a
greater share of appreciation.
ut is a great investment" he de-
clared, land when one considers the
wonderful teachings children obtain
by attending Sunday school, and the
good to be derived by grownups from
the church services, it behooves each
individual to give the church his full
lest support"

Opinion of Others

and educating our children, that our
cream checks cannot be stretched
much farther. In fact, there arc
many of uS that can't keep up now,
then why go in deeper? Why put up
another creamery when we have
three cooperative creameries and one
Independent within trucking dis
lance?
Don't let anyone mislead us into
thinking that we can build any en-
during enterprise with shoe
string. 1t takes cash, and plenty OF
it, together with a real cooperative
spirit. If we won't help build up
those we now have, how can we hope
to build another?
