said. THE especially rapid growth

in the population of the Mountain

AS a group, Southern States grew
faster than Northern States. In

nearly so per cent of the popula-

the Southern States. Of the popu-

which had less than 10 per cent of
the 1880 population, account for
approximately % per cent OF the
Nations population gains during
he decade.
Practically all the industrial
States show rate of increase less
than the national average.
There are two explanations for
the population gains of Southern
States, according to Census Bu-
reau experts. One is their higher
birth rates. and the other is the
fact that because of present en-
ployment conditions fewer South
erners have moved to other States
than in previous decades.
The increase on the Pacific Coast
probably represents the continued
settlement and development of new
territory. since these States repre-

The new force will relieve the

Roosevelt Calls Our Free Schools A Bar to Tyranny
Tells Duchess County Meeting They and Public Schools Are
 Vital Defense Factors
RELIEF PROJECTS
These Symbolic A Modern" Doctrine of Responsibility to
 The Destitute. He Asserts
By Charles Hurd

HYDE PARK, N. Y, - Free and uncontrolled education was described by President Roose- velt as vital necessity in the preservation of democracy az ainst encroachment by dictators.
 Speaking at East Park, near here where a high school and two grade schools constructed with Federal aid in the Hyde Park area were dedicated in joint exenciscs, MT. Roosevelt listed academic freedom along side the New Deal public works program for relief of unemploy- ment as integral parts of Ameri- ca's well-being and her defense as well.
 These three new schools" he said symbolic two modern func tions in America, each of which is proving itself more and more vital to the continuance of dem ocracy."
 MT. Roosepelt spike primarily to some 10000 persons, of whom perhaps one-third were children, gathered on the lawn in front of the new Franklin D. Roosevelt High School. His speech however was obviously designed for the wider national audience which would read it in the newspapers or hear it oyer the radio.
 Here, in these and other schools" he said, twill be train ed the young people of a nation not for enforced labor camps or for regimentation as an enslaved citizsnry but for the intelligent exercise of the right of suffrage and for participation as free hu- man beings in the life of the nation."
 Acclaims Public Works Plan
 As for public works, which he said were symbolized by these new schools, the President re- marked that in less than eight years almost every community had obtained some new pulling or WOrk-.i -.illnStratinns of thn rn

sults of giving employment on useful projects'-with the result that "in building for ths we'll being of America, we have built for the defense of America as we'll
 Mir Roosevelt listed this ad- dress as one of his 'non-politi- cal" speeches. H. interpolated in an opening paragraph this state ment:
 On matters which relate to elucation in this States of ours and in this country of ours. very little has been decided on the basis of party politics"
 He divided his talk into three sections the first consisting of a tribute to local citizens who worked for the construction of the schools, which cost $1,300,000 of which the PWA contributed a grant of $585,000; the second of a sharp arraignment of the man ner in which dictators have sup pressed education, and finally an emphatic defense of the public works program which has fgur ed so largely in controversies vo CT the New Deal.
 President Roosevelt said that these new buildings could well be dedicated to that old func- tion-the American institution of universal education.'
 Tn the last decade he went on, this right of free education which has become a part of the national life in our land has talk en on additional significance from events in certain other lands. Almost the first freedom to be destroyed, as dictators take control, is the freedom of learn ing. Tyranny hates and fears mo- thing more than the free ex- change of ideas, the free play of the mind that comes from edu- cation.
 Tn these schools and in other American schools the children of today and of future generations will be taught, without censor ship orf restriction, the facts of current history and the whole context of current knowledge. Their textbooks will not be burn ed by a dictator who disagrees with them; their teachers will not be banished by ruler whom they have offended; their schools will not be closed if they teach unpalatable truths, and their daily instruction will not be gov erned by the decree of any cen tral bureau of propaganda.
