Government at Washington have been
stoutly resisted.
While it is conceded by opponents
of the scheme that it might possibly
bring material benefits, in certain
quarters, the threat of bureaucratic
or political control is held to be so
real that there is little likelihood that
citizens generally will approve of re-
linquishment of control either by the
States or local communities. The
educational systems are one field In
which the Federal Government, from
1887 to the present, has had . clear
mandate to keep hands OF!
However, while the Federal Govern
ment exercises no regulation of school
ing, its interest in education Is none
theless deep. The Office OF education
Of the Department of the Interior acts
as clearing house of information on
all phases of education, and as such
performs a useful and praiseworthy
task
1t is clear that America today is
fully alive to the tremendous re-
sponsibilities which will rest upon the
shoulders of its future citizens and
leaders and is leaving no stone un-
turned to fit them for the tasks which
lie ahead.
That thought will be uppermost in
the minds of countless adults as they

steady progress in reducing the num-
ber of illiterates. In all leading
countries today education is COM
pulsory.
The barefoot boy trudging his way
to the district school-"the little red
school house"-of generation ago is
merely a pleasing picture in the
memory. The modern counterpart Of
Whittier's engaging hero motors to
school. The advent of the motor
school bus has greatly fastened the
growth of the consolidated school idea
and this year a couple Of million
American school children will be
transported from and to their homes
at State expense. The outlay involved
is large, but it is economically sound,
for the relegation of the one-room
school house to the limbo of the past,
along with the picturesque but germ
laden old oaken bucket, is being
brought about rapidly by the con-
solidated school of which the motor
bus is the right arm, and the main
tenance of large, better school is
being found no more expensive than
the upkeep OF collection OF small,
inadequate buildings.

Constitution in 1887. the average

and the Importance to the Nation of
an educated population in terms of
improved social, economic and politi-
cal conditions. 1t is clear that educa-
ton is inexpensive.
In this connection it is noteworthy
that the entire cost OF educating ap-
proximately 3o,000,o00 boys and girls
for year is not more than 10 cents
day for each adult 81 years of age
and over.
RUT even though the population of
the United States is probably the
best educated national group, the
average education still is only COM
pletion of elementary school. The
superior education Of our population is
due to the fact that about per cent

or continued their education beyond

the highest average of school life ever
attained anywhere, a record which
the United States still maintains. In
IT'S the elementary curriculum con-
sisted of the three Rs with spelling and
the Bible added. Twenty-Five years
later grammar, geography and book
keeping had been included. In an
other rs years history was added and
the use OF object lessons begun.
BY 1875 the so-called frills Of the
previous half century had acquired
the status of essentials, grammar,
geography and history holding secure
places while new "frills" appeared in
the form of civics, music, drawing and
health education. Now the curriculum
includes dozens of subjects instead
Of the five Of century and half ago.
In answer to some critics who still
say that the modern education sys-
tenn is too burdened with frills, its
defenders declare that the program
reflects not 50 much the abstract
theories Of educators as to what con-
stitutes correct educational procedure
as it does the popular conception OF
what constitutes a satisfactory and
well-rounded school.
A MERICANS rightly are proud Of
their school systems. Likewise,
and equally rightly, they are jealous
in guarding them from influences
which may seek to sway them from the
fundamental principles under which
they were founded.
America believes in free schools and
believes that the schools must be
kept free in every sense of the word.
America believes that its system
Of free and unfettered education Is
democracy's greatest safeguard and
the most effective insurance against
the abridgement of the liberties guar
anteed by the Constitution.
Many persons, and especially those
who came to the United States from
countries having centralized or politi-
cally-controlled systems of education,
do not readily understand our systems
and the relations Of the Federal Gov
ernment to them.
When the Constitution was written,
the States did not delegate to the
Federal Government the right of
or control of education. |
Indeed, the subject of education is
not mentioned in that document. |
Therefore, the power and duty to
organize and maintain systems of |
education within their borders rests |
with the States.

the other a Catholic, bore historic and
important consequences. When inde-
pendence was achieved and CORVALLIS
had surrendered at Yorktown, it was
deemed advisable that the Catholic
Church in America should no longer
remain under the jurisdiction of
French superiors in Paris or English
bishops in London. Franklin, then
Ambassador to the Court of Louis XVI,
remembered his friend of the Northern
voyage and advised the Washington
Government, in glowing terms, that
Carroll was just the man. Cardinal
Antonelli, Secretary OF State to Plus
vi, readily acquiesced, and in 1874
John Carroll was appointed prefect
apostolic of the United States, and
thus became first in the line of Ameri-
can bishops.
Respected friend of Washington and
the other founding fathers, Carroll
never wavered in his devotion to the
new Republic and its Constitution,
under which he forsaw that liberty
of conscience, of education and of
fundamental civic rights would be
guaranteed and safeguarded. AS his
family had contributed notably in
wealth, in talent and in courage to
the winning Of political independence.
so he would contribute an equally i'm
portatn element to the moral and in
tellectual fiber OF the American mind
through edcuation. Hence the George
town seal bears the motto, "Utraque
Unum"-science and faith in support
of free America.
That tradition was woven into the
very fabric OF the Institution he
founded. His instructions to its first

From city and town and farm, from

It is on the march, moving against
that foe beside which all others

No other country in the world sends
SO many children to school, and no
other country in the world spends SO
much money on education. But none
can question the soundness of the
investment, which contemplates not
only time, energy and money, but the
very foundation of Americas progress.
The founding fathers emphasized
the close connection between wide
spread public education and the main
tenance of liberty and our national
ideals and institutions.
So it is that this year more than
50, 500, 900, 900 will be spent on edu-
cation, according to an authoritative
estimate by the Federal once of
Education.
But another figure, still more stu
pendous. is equally significant as an
index of Americas interest in the
education of its youth. 1t is estimated
officially that the value of the Nations
