"The present economic depression
did not produce the inequalities in
our educational system. 1t merely
laid bare condition that had existed
for long and had never been ade-
quatcly repaired. Nor are grants-in-

crisis realized that one of the surest
guarantees of the perpetuation of the
American way was to remove in
equalities in educational opportuni-

Of the Land-Grant Colleges in the
midst of civil war is monument to
his vision Of the need for equalization
of educational opportunities. 1t marks
the beginning of grants -m-aid for

out in broad outline the American
ideal of education for all the citizen

of labor But it is we'll to remember
that the inequalities in American edu-

and South stem out of the exhaustion
of the South as result of four years
of the Civil War.
"The World War marked the sec

the enactment of the Smith Hughes

BILLS MUST BE PAID

We have committed ourselves to
the policy of keeping our economic
system afioat by government debts. 1t
takes no brains, no craftsmanship, no
courage to do this. 1t takes a great
deal of courage for statesman to op-
pose this trend. And it takes more
when there is always at hand another
statesman or politician who points out
to the people how generous he is by
borrowing more and spending more.
But in the end this system must crack.
Then the bills will come due.-John T..
Flynn. economist, in Washington Daily
News.

"Your committee therefore recon-

general principles of grants-in-aid as
a characteristic American device to

point to the great Importance of pre-

educational matters even though Fed
eral funds are utilized in insuring to
all our people their full educational
birthright.

WORK FOR AMENDMENT URGED

Washington, d. C.-The American
Federation of Labor is emphasizing
that child labor can be ended now by
additional state ratifications of the
Child Labor Amendment, which the
Supreme Court has ruled it still pend
ing. Declaring that the amendment
is a "key measure to national better
ment", the A. F. of l.. is urging every
state federation of labor to make
ratification of the amendment a pri
mary objective at the next meeting of
it's legislature.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1940-01-18

federal grants are a settled part OF
public policy.
"Grants-in-aid for public education
in America thus Has long history in
the nation. 1t is a history which la
Dor helped to shape. 1t is a policy
of which labor lis committed. But
with it labor is persuaded that local
initiative and control of educational
policies are indispensable.
Educational Inequalities
"Education may be the nations
biggest business venture, but in some
sections of our land that business is
still small. 1t is small because per
capita wealth is small. And the tax
burdens are heavy for those who are
called upon to bear. them.
"While some Of these States with
meager resources are making heroic
efforts for their schools, they are
unable to provide the quality of edu-
cation needed. So long as a fifth of
the nations children live in States
where the amount available per child
is less than one-half of the nations
average, we shall continue to have
educational inequalities.
"In concrete terms the average
revenue avalableper pupil in the ma
ton is approximately tifty-two dol
lars but that average conceals the
wide range which extends from
twelve dollars and twenty-one cents
per pupil in States like Mississippi
and Arkansas to over one hundred
and forty dollars per pupil in States
like Delaware, New York and Cali
fornia.
Local Wealth Syphoned
"The long depression which re-
vealed some Of the weaknesses in our
economic system has revealed the
initiation of some Of our long estab-
lished practices in financing public
education. Where real estate values
decline in community due either to
depression or in the trends in local
business activity the tax base is seri-
ously affected and with it the basis of
school taxes.
because of the national organiza-
tion of our business structure there
is disposition to syphon off wealth
as it is created locally into the large
financial centers TO. meet this con-
dition Federal aid is more adaptable
to our national economy and more
elastic to our modern needs. By sup
port through grants-in-aid we have
developed method of removing some
of the more glaring inequalities in
education.
Federal Grants Aid
"To remove such inequalities in ou1
educational system is one of the pur-
poses of labor. To aid in such pur-
pose, grants-m-aid have received the
consistent support Of labor over the
years. But equality of educational
opportunity does not mean Identical
educational opportunities. Indeed iden-
tical opportunities might lead in turn
to inequalities. Education must be
adapted to tn needs of the citizens
and be related to the cultural stand
ards of the community. In education
as in other areas of life, uniformity
is dullness and may lead to naediocrity
But while diversity is needed it must

are engaged, a group of trades, the
entire plant, all the plants of the same
employer, all the plants of all en-
ployers in the same industry or all
the plants of all employers in the same
industry in any geographical area.
This is the only fair method to all
concerned. 1t substitutes democracy
for the present autocratic policy OF
the board in fixing units without re-
gard to the wishes of the workers in
volved. This amendment will check
the present tendency of the board to
attempt to shape the form and char
acter of the trade union movement.
The final major amendment we ask
would restrict the power of the board
to abrogate legitimate contracts be-
tween workers and management.

Removing Scorched Food From Pans
Bureau Of Home Economics experts
suggests this treatment for food burn
ed on an enamel pan, reports the Con-
sumers' Counsel Division of the AAA.
Cover the bottom Of the pan with
warm soap suds containing a little
washing soda. After it has soaked
over night, boil the soapy water in
the pan slowly. Then pour off the
water and gently scrape off the loose
scorched food, preferably with a
spoon.
If the pan is enamelware, don't use
anything sharp or harsh for scraping;
it may damage the finish.
If the food still doesn't come off,
rub it slowly with a steel wool or fine
securing powder until all the stain is
removed.

Does Drawn" Chicken Cost More?

chickens.
A dressed chicken is a bird which
has been plucked and bled, but with
the entrails, head and feet unremoved
when bought by the consumer.
A dressed and drawn chicken has
had removed the head, feet, and en-
trails, in addition to being bled and

On the average, drawn chicken

are waste.
