800 MILLION FUND
n. {. A. OBJECTIVE
Federal Grant to Be Stren-
uously Sought, and "Con-
troll" Avoided.

The National Education Association
voted today to campaign strenuously
for a half billion dollar grant from
the Federal Government for relief of
the Nations public schools.
At the same time the group. which
represents approximately 200 900 edu-
Gators, specified that this grant should
not entail any Federal control Of
schools. They would have the money
distributed to all public school dis
tricts according to average daily at
tendance and lack of adequate tax
resources.
During discussion of this resolution
a fight developed on a sentence which
read: "The National Education Asso-
citation maintains that a government
that can appropriate nearly $2,000,-
900 900 tor military and naval pur-
poses should make adequate provision
for the support Of public education"
Statement Stricken.
After speakers said this statement
had a pacifistic label, it was stricken
out of the resolution.
The principle of unemployment in
surance for all workers, including
teachers, and the payment of State
pensions to widowed mothers was in
dorSed
The association also went on rec
ord in favor of President Roosevelt S
policies for slum clearance and hous-
ing.
The teachers added their collective
to that of the churches in a Nation
wide fight now in progress for re-
form of the moving picture industry.
Certain Stories Condemned.
Particularly does the association
condemn the showing of stories or
scenes which threaten the integrity
of the American home, ridicule sacred
institutions, glorify lawlessness and
make juvenile delinquency a subject
of jest" the resolution stated. The
practice Of block booking OF pictures
to exhibitors was condemned.
Temperance instruction in the
schools with complete and scientific
teaching regarding the effects of al
cohol and narcotics was advocated.
The association also expressed dis
approval of false advertising or prop
aganda on this subject.
In the field of teacher welfare, the
association opposed further retrench-
ments in services or reduction of SAL
aries.
A platform embodying the new and
old tenets of the Education Associa-
ton was expected TO be adopted this
afternoon.

Hayes expressed the belief that
some students of Texas Christian Uni
versity, who announced they would
not submit to War Department edicts
in time of national emergency. were
led by something or some one" in a
direction opposite the purposes for
which the university was founded.
Culture Emphasized.
Greater emphasis on culture in
educational programs was advocated
by Armand j. Gerson, associate
superintendent of schools of Philadel-
phia, who shared the platform with
Dean Benner today. Summing up
his arguments for more cultural in
struction. he said:
Material success has failed us as
the answer to our fundamental ma
tional problems. The doctrine Of
service, human beings what they are,
cannot, at this state Of civilization,
be put forward as an alternative
philosophy, helpful and wholesome as
it has proved as palliative to the
materialism of the times. Cultural
interest, cultural activities open the
door upon a new possibility. For the
individual, the development of a cul-
tural life means an increased capacity
for happiness, and better still, for
tranquility and for poise. For the
Nation, the more abundant sharing
in spiritual enjoyments means larger
sympathy. fuller understanding and
greater solidarity"
Carl J. Milan of Chicago, secre-
tary of the American Library Asso-
citation, spoke in favor of establish
ment of a national bureau to pro-
mote the expansion and greater use
Of libraries.
He suggested that public libraries
be combined into large systems, each
serving several counties and sup
ported largely from State funds.

More than a dozen children, rang

teachers present. These six were
questioned by the educators and ex-
pressed themselves well in their op-

to share with their children. Study is
part of home life and parents can
help with it."
