Education as an element of national

the Committee on Educational Finance
Appropriation cuts, which reduced
the budget of the United States ONCE
Of Education by 81 per cent below the
current appropriation, and the virtual
destruction of the National School
Finance Survey by other legislation. the
report charged, was evidence of the
lack Of senatorial interest in education.
The report stated 1853 educational in
stitutions will have their combined in
comes curtailed $s,o0o,oo next year.
Nevertheless, 1877 of the 1853 institutions
expect to balance their budgets for the
years Of 1928. and only IS of the
total number will have to cut salaries
to effect this. Sixty-six, however, will
reduce their staffs.

Unless the House overrides the pro-

holding appropriations for this training
may mean the closing down Of the

Md; Fort Howard Md; Fort Hoyle
Md, and Fort Washington.
approximately 1900 trainees in the

Of training privileges during the Sum-
mer A large proportion of these come
from Washington and nearby Maryland
and Virginia.
The allotment Of trainees for the
whole country Is approximately 81 900
More than three times that number
have applied for admission to the
Summer camps, indicating the wide
spread interest taken in the training
All these, it seems, are doomed to dis
appointment unless the appropriations
are restoreed to the Army bill either in
the House or in conference
The committee proposed to eliminate
the C. M. T. c. camps this Summer
as a measure of economy and in its
report contended that the course is
justifiable. The reason for creating the
camps, it pointed out, was to provide
flow of young officers into the Of
ficers' Reserve Corps. OF the assign
able officers in the corps on June 80
1881. only 1.441 came from this activ-
ity. Since we have been spending
over $4,000, 900 a year on the c. MT c.

serious question as to whether or not
the returns justify their continuance
at all"
