Explains Stand on School Bill
Which Is Now Pending

Congressman Frank -Clague, Tues

gard to the Reed bill, formerly known
as the Shepherd Towner bill, which
would establish a Secretary of Edu-
cation who would be a member of the
Presidents cabinet. 7va
His announcement followed the re-
ceipt by him of a number of letters
from various parts of the district
asking whether or not he favored the
bill which is now pending in the
House.
Mr.. Clague stated his position
clearly in letter to the Herald, as
follows:
81 have always opposed these bills,
and am now opposed to the same. 1
do not believe that it is wise for the
Federal Government to attempt to
regulate our school system. Our To-
cal government should be entirely in
the hands of our local people. We
have a fine system of education in
the State of Minnesota, and in my
opinion it would be unwise to create
a Department in the Federal Govern
ment that would in any way interfere
with our present school system"
Mr.. Clague's stand will meet with
popular approval, we are sure
