Text of Roosevelt address
President Cites Need of Education in Democracy
in nReceiyng Decree at Temple
University.

But progress in the things of the
mind has been even more striking
in these past so years. In my
childhood high school education
was an exceptional opportunity for
an American boy or girl; a college
education was possible only to an
exceedingly small minority. Pro-
fessional schools had hardly come
into existence. Since 1900, while
the Nations population has in
creased by about 10 per cent. the
enrolment in all branches of in
stitutlons of higher learning has
increased about 400 per cent.
At the beginning of this century
the total enrolment in our colleges
and universities was just one stu
dent short of 10000.
/ think it is too bad they did not
get that other one student-if only
to round out the number and ease
the way for future statisticians.
Million Now in Colleges.
Today, well over a million stu
dents are seeking degrees in our
colleges and universities and more
than 100000 are enrolled in exten.
sion courses and Summer schools,
think that we Of Temple univer-
sity-I am exercising my right now
to speak as an alumnus-can take
special pride in the part that our
institution here has taken in this
growth. This institution has car.
ried in practice the basic ideal of
its great founder, the late DR..
Russell H. Conwell. He believed that
every young person should be given
a chance to obtain a good educa-
ton and he founded Temple Uni.
versity to meet the needs of those
who might not be able to afford a
college education elsewhere. He
believed that education should re-
spond to community needs and fit
itself into the many-sided and
complex life that modern condi-
tions have imposed upon us.
shall watch with the keenest
interest the working out of the
plan recently adopted by Temple
for carrying even further into prac-
tical application this guiding ideal.

organization to be known as the

outside the university's walls. As
understand it, this organization
will be far more than a mere ad-
visory body, set up to meet on spe-
cial and infrequent occasions and
to draft recommendation of q
general character. The Associates

integral and organic part Of the

AMNESTY BRINGS
CALM TO SPANISH
Leftist Celebrations, How
ever, Continue in Some
Sections.

(copyright. 1886, BY the Associated Press.>
60 MADRID, February ga general
amnesty decree, offering unconditional
freedom to all political prisoners, lent
a calming influence to Spain today,
but radicals persisted in some sections
in their riotous celebration of the
Leftist assumption of power.
The fresh disorders carrying on the
demonstrations in which 81 persons
have died since the Leftists defeated
the former government Center
Rightist coalition in last Sundays par
liamentary election, centered in South
ern Seville Province. Rioters raided
churches at Saucejo and Fuentes,
burning images and furniture, and at
Penafior stormed another church.
Elsewhere peace prevailed generally,
with only few scattered disorders re-
ported.
Immediate Amnesty.
The amnesty decree, adopted by
unanimous vote of the permanent
parliamentary commission after brief
deliberation yesterday, was drawn up
for probable publication in the official
gazette, to become effective immedi-
ately.
"a The freedom order affected only
persons imprisoned for political or
social offenses, many of them Leftists
held since the October, 1884, So
cialiSt revolution.
From 10000 to 10000 political pris-
oners already were free under pro-
visional order, releasing those not
tried or sentenced, and thousands
more-including prominent Leftists
and alleged ringleaders of the 1884
rebellion-were eligible for freedom
under the amnesty.
The new Left-Republican govern
ment of Premier Manuel Azana, which
rushed through the amnesty decree.
also effected a shake-up in the army
high command, in the aftermath of
Leftist charges that military coup
d'etat had been plotted to prevent
the Left from taking over the gov
ernment.
The chief of staff, Gen. Francisco
Franco, was transferred to the Canary
Islands as chief of a division there.
Gen. Jose Sanchez Ocana, former
commander general in Catalonia, was
! appointed as the new chief of staff.
Air Chief Shifted.
The chief of the air force, Gen.
Manuel Coded. whose name was
linked with that of Gen. Franco in
the rumored military plot. was shifted
to the Baltaric Islands as chief of
division there.
Further policies of the new Leftist
government, which replaced that of
Manuel Portella Vallada~es, were pro-
claimed
Martinez Barrio, leader of the Left
ist Republican Union, announced that
the government planned to propose
to the incoming parliament calling
Of municipal elections in April.
He said among the first projects
to be submitted by the ministry would
deal with unemployment and the
question of agrarian reform.
1.-The farm workers dire situation
will have to be remedied at once,
as some of them have been eating
nothing but vegetables for some tine,"
he said.
The nation was still under state
of alarm, with martial law prevailing
in some provinces, but the martial law
was lifted at Teneriffe, Canary Islands.

SOVIET OFFICIALS
WIFE VISITS i. S.
Head of Perfumery Trust Is
Luncheon Guest of White
House.
Nv the Associated Press.


"Molotova," wife of one Of the high
est Of Soviet officials, is in this country
in her capacity as head Of the Com
munist states perfumery and cos
metics trust, and already has been
entertained at the White House, 1t was
revealed today.
Her presence first became known to
q few outsiders when she was enter
tanned by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
yesterday at White House luncheon
"Molotova," as she is popularly
known in Russia, is the wife of
viacneslev Molotov, president of the
Council of Peoples Commissars Of the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a
post which ranks him second only in
importance to Joseph Stain, supreme
Communist.
To the White House function Mime.
Molotov was accompanied by Nine.
Troyanovsky, wife of the Soviet Am
bassador to Washington.
Like her friend, the late Mime.
Stain, Molotov's wife set out several
years ago to carve a career in her own
right in the proletarian state.
Stalin's comparatively young wife
aspired to become an expert in the
Soviet rayon industry. Before her
sudden and mysterious death in 1882
she had devoted herself for several
years to long hours of study in Mos
COW technical college to master the
technique of rayon production and
manufacture.
Nine. Molotov chose the perfurmery
and cosmetics business, which has
developed under her guidance into
one of the most successful of Soviet
industries.
Soviet Embassy officials said she
had come to the United States to
study perfumery and cosmetic pro-
duction methods in this country and
possibly to purchase some. to facili-
tate mass production in Soviet Russia
She returned to New York a few
hours after her visit to the White
House, apparently having come te
Washington especially for ths
luncheon.

The text of President Roosevelt
address today at Temple Universit
in Philadelphia follows:
Gov. Earle, President Beury and
friends of Temple University:
I have just had bestowed upon
me twofold honor. I am honored
in having been made an alumnus
of Temple University; and am
honored in having had conferred
upon me for the first time the de-
gree of doctor of jurisprudence.
1t is a happy coincidence that
we should meet together to pay
our respects to the cause of educa-
ton on the birthday of the Father
of this Nation In his wise and
kindly way George Washington
deeply appreciated the Importance
of education in a Republic and the
responsibility of the Government
to promote it. Let this simple
statement stand by itself without
the proof of quotation. I say this
lest, if I quoted excerpts from the
somewhat voluminous writings and
messages of the first President of
the United Statess some captious
critic might search the Library of
Congress to prove by other quota
tions that George Washington was
in favor Of just the opposite!
Therefore, on this anniversary of
his birth I propose to break a CEN
tury-old precedent. I shall not
quote from George Washington on
his birthday.
More than this, and breaking
precedent once more, I do not in
tend to commence any sentence
with these words-"If George
Washington had been alive today"
or If Thomas Jefferson had been
alive today" or IF Alexander
Hamilton had been alive today" or
"If Abraham Lincoln had been
alive today-beyond peradventure
OF a doubt he would have op-
posed-or, perhaps, favored-etc,
ETC., etc."
Great Strides in Century.
Suffice 1t. therefore, to say what
President Washington pointed out
on many occasions and in many
practical ways that a broad and
cosmopolitan education in every
stratum Of society Is q necessary
factor In any free nation governed
through q democratic system.
Strides toward this fundamental
objective were great In the two or
three earlier generations Of the
Republic, but you and well realize
that the greatest development of
general education has occurred in
the past half century.
As hteracy increases people be-
come aware Of the fact that gov
ernment and society form essen
TALLY . cooperative relationship
among citizens and tile selected
representatives OF those citizens,
When We speak of modern prog
ress it seems to me that we place
altogether too much emphasis upon
progress In material things--in In.
vention, in industrial development,
In growth Of natioskl wealth.

vicinity of the home of Col and Mrs.
Charles A. Lindbergh about the time
of March |, 1882, when their infant
son was kidnapped.
Discrepancies Alleged.
The Governor at a conference last
night said there appeared to be dis
crepancies in statements given by
Whited to the police.
Col H. Norman Schwarzkopf, su-
perintendent of the New Jersey State
police, said Eve have received no in
structions to pick up any one"
He said Whited had never beer
questioned by the police since the
trial at Pennington over year ago
State police headquarters empha-
sized that Whited could not be taken
into custody unless formal complaint
were made.
1t also was reported in reliable
quarters, but unconfirmed, that the
Governor again gave evidence he
IS wanted prosecution officials to recall
DR.. John F.. Condor, the Jafsie of the
ransom negotiations, now on a vaca-
ton in Panama.
Hauck himself said last night he
would take no action of such nature
without comforting with Attorney
General David T. Wilentz, who is
expected back from his Florida vaca-
tion about March /.
Hoffman Still Not Satisfied.
The Governor has said he is con-
vinced the Lindbergh kidnapping has
not been completely solved, but has
made no plan for a second reprieve
for Hauptmann. He was silent today
on the appeal, circularized by Rev.
John Matthiesen, Hauptmann's spirit
ual adviser, to Lutheran ministers
throughout the country to give Hoff-
man IAN encouraging word"
Rev. Mr.. Matthiesen. too, refrained
from any comment, insisting the letter
had not oeen intended for publication.
The clergyman said he sent the let
ter with Hauptmann's knowledge, and
had received some answers that were
"very favorable"
Five Scranton, Pa. ministers said
they threw the letters in the. waste
basket. In Lebanon, Pa. six clergy
men said they ignored it,.
DR.. Frederick H. Kneubel, president
OF the United Lutheran Church in
America, said Mr.. Matthiesen was
acting ION his own responsibility with
out any approval from any authority
In the Lutheran Church"
TNr
neapolis. president of the Lutheran
Free Church, said in Seattle the
church has no business Ito interfere
with the process of law" and that he
will reject the appeal.
All of the reaction was not un-
favorable, though. In Belleville. Rev.
Harry Pfunke, pastor Of the Bethany
Lutheran Church, said he had read
the letter and filed it away ITS
almost impossible to Judge the merits
Of the case," he said.
A Newark minister, Rev. Augustus
Redderoth of st. Johns Lutheran
Church, said "the whole thing Is so
uncertain while, as Gov. Hoffman said,
there are details that might be uncov-
cred"
Rev. william r. Behrens Of Christ
Evangelical Church, Union, said ne
believed there Is considerable doubt
concerning Hauptmann's guilt" but
felt the matter was outside church
affairs; while Rev. Oscar e. Braune of
Newark said Kauptmann may be
guilty. 'but it has not been proved, not
beyond q reasonable dEabt."

South was not taking any chances on finding the kirg in the East hand. East had played the ace of hearts and West had doubled his opening bid both informatorily and later for penalties. West had to have every high card not show ing in the North and South hands.
 The trick was won with the ace. A heart was ruffed in dummy, and 6 trump lead put declared in his own hand to lead his last heart, which was trumped on the board.
 Now the queen of clubs was led. and West was forced to win the trick and make a return play Whatever card or suit he led, he could win only one more trick.
 A heart or a club would give decIarer 6 ruff and . discard, and the ace of diamonds would estab- fish both the king and queen. 4 low diamond would be equally in- effective.
