AIDS FARMER

Farmers of California will be in
terested to know that as a direct
result of the Agricultural Adjust
ment act many of them have re-
ceived an increased price for their
products during the past year.
Wheat farmers are receiving
about $1,600,000 as benefit pay
ments. Cotton farmers in the state
received an additional 1865 900.
When the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act was being formulated in
Washington it was arranged to in
clude such basic crops as wheat,
cotton hogs, corn, dairy cattle, and
tobacco. Due to the insistence Of r.

UNITED STATES CAN LEARN
FROM EUROPE ON SCHOOLS

Pointing to the fact that hund-
reds Of thousands Of children in the
United States are without schools,
and that the number is rapidly in
creasing. while there is not one
leading country in Europe where
such conditions exist, Dr.. Fletcher
Harper Swift. professor of educa-
ton in the University of California,
and long recognized as pioneer stu
dent of public school finance. be-
lieVes the problem can be solved in
this country by adoption of policies
based en- principles embodied in
plans in use in European countries.
Anticipating the present situation
thirty years ago, Professor Swift
wrote, the problem Of school fin
ance in the United States will never
be solved until the states, indiyid-
ually or in cooperation with the ma
tional government, assume the
major portion OF the burden Of
school support

Crisis Approaching
Professor Swift emphasizes the
paramount importance of the prob
lem in the United States, saying a
crisis is rapidly approaching. Since
1915 he says, there has been a con-
tinuouS effort to secure federal aid
for public schools. This movement.
ne adds, led by the National Edu-
cation Association, and supported
by leading educators, has thus far
met with little success.
"AU the present time" he says,
the Federal Advisory COMMITTEES
on Emergency Aid in Education IS
urging a federal public school ap-
preparation of $50,000,000 for 1884
and an appropriation of 100000, 600
