PROPOSES NEWU.S.
EDUCAT|ONAGENCY
Mrs. Roosevelt Emissions
Department Also Devoted
to Health and Art.

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt last
night proposed a new Government
department devoted to education, the
arts, social welfare and health.
Creation of such an agency, how
ever. should await restoration OF more
normal conditions when economy
will not be our main object" she said.
Mrs. Roosevelt spoke from the,
White House in a broadcast over
Station WRC and Nationwide net
work of the National Broadcastlng
Co. Her remarks were in response
to questioning by Miss Charl Q. VIII
liams, president of the National Fed
Grafton of Business and Professional
Women's Clubs.
Sees Education Essential.
After stating that "a minimum OF
universal education" was essential TO
an effective democracy, Mrs. Roose-
Welt said she hoped that ultimately
when normal conditions are restored
and we are not obliged to .concen-
trate primarily on keeping groups OF
our people from actual want, and
economy will not be our main object,
We will be able to have in our own
National Government a new depart
ment which will include education,
the arts, social welfare and health"
1T is becoming strikingly evident" !"
she continued. that the Federal Gov
ernment must acquaint the Nation
with the condition of education
throughout the Nation, and perhaps
give certain States some assistance
In their educational program.
Forecast Objections.
'I know that this thought creates
OPPOSITION because of the fear that 1t
will mean controlled programs Of
education and less freedom for in
dividual educators to experiment and
carry out independent theories which
have brought us progress along edu-
cational lines in the past.
1T seems to me that this can be
avoided if the people are sufficiently
aroused to the preservation of their
own independent rights, in education
as in all other matters"
