P:-T. A. SEEKS NEW
SCHOOL FINANCING
Course of Study Adopted to
FamiIiarize Parents With
Problem.

Mobilizing to combat the problems
presented by breakdown of school
financing, the board of managers of
the National Congress Of Parents and
Teachers today adopted a program of
study for parents throughout the coun-
try designed to familiarize them with
the grave situation which will confront
the educational system unless new
means of financing are adopted soon.
The study program is based upon a
survey made by the National Confer
this Summer, recommending various
Government aids to the school system.
VIII Guide Parents.
The study itself, it is hoped, will make
the parents not only more cogniZant
of the need for an educational flnanc-
ing reorganization, but will guide them
IN their demand for that reorganization
before local councils, county boards and
State legislatures and Congress.
Already the opinions of State legis-
latures have been changed by the voice
of the patrons of the schools-the
PIT A and similar groups, and they
are "aStonished by the incenSed feel
ing among parents in many States, &C

Home Code Urged.
Speaking over a Nationwide radio
network last night on "A Parents Re
covery Act" Mrs. Bradford told the
Nations parents "the future of the
homes of America rests squarely upon
the shoulders of the parents of today.
The Blue Eagle of the hearthstone may
mean happiness, security and content
ment if parents will establish home
codes and assume home responsibilities 4"
Mrs. Bradford spoke of the interest
In industrial recovery: THE Nation is
living and breathing in terms of Blue
Eagles, codes and recoveries," and added
that it may appear the family has no
place in the plan. Yet. she said, within
the family may be the very elements
that will insure stability to the busi-
ness program, not only of today, but
of tomorrow.
Changed as they appear to be from
the homes of past generations, the
speaker said, they have provided Sc
curity not only to the family itself. but
to the Nation.

The measure calls for an ap-

by maintaining crude price and
gasoline price ratios, and to
safeguard the people Of the
state against too high gasoline
prices.
The Independent industry took
no steps to block passage Of the
bill. believing that the legislature

that the State may learn some
lessons By engaging in the some
