u. 5. SUBSIDIES
FOR SCHOOLS
DEBATED

Two opposing views Of the cur
rent practice Of creating Federal
subsidies for State schools we're
argued today in talks before more
than 300 educational and civic
representatives attending the an
nual meeting of the American
Council on Education held in the
auditorium of the U. S. Chamber
of Commerce Building.
Alexander G. Ruthven, presi-
dent of the University OF Mich
igan, in his address entitled
Leadership or Recommendation In
Higher Education" denounced the
tendency of State supported lnstl-
tutions, or schools in part sup
ported by Federal contribution, TO
be administered by executive
boards subservient to political IN
fluences.
9.Point Program
DR.. Ruthven presented a nine
point program calling for con-
gressional investigation in an Ell
fort to eliminate educational loo-.
bies, and the establishment of an
interstate educational commission
to insure needed cooperation be-
tween institution, State and Fed
eral authorities.
George F. Zook, president of the
council, in his annual report. re-
ferred to recent findings on Fed
eral financial aid to educational
institutions as a most significant
implication" of the spreading ad-
herence to such a policy. The
Harrison Black-Fletcher bill intro
duced in the present session of
Congress, he said, would provide
an initial appropriation of $780,
100000, that amount to be in
creased annually until it would
amount to $30O,000000 per year.
Cooperation Stressed
The presidents report also
stressed the need for cooperation
and coordination of all educa-
tional organizations.
Problems of economic conSe-
quence affecting investment OF
school funds we're slated by Presl-
dent Zook for consideration in
later council discussions.
John H. MacCracken, former
associate director of the council,
reviewed the past 20 years since
the organization was founded in
1917 as one of the results of the
necessity for national coordina-
ton in all fields.
Further talks by Walter M.
Kotschnig, professor at Smith and
Mount Holyoke Colleges, and Mir
lam Van Waters. secretary of the
American Youth Commission, were
scheduled for today. The meeting
will end tomorrow night.
