sponsibility for educating our

sponsibility for educating out
young Is primarily local.
At the same time, we know
that everybody must have a good
education If they are properly to
discharge their functions as q
citizen Of America.
And so we come to the heart
of this whole problem. We want
good facilities on the one hand,
and we know that there are
many areas in which people cam
not afford to build the schools.
to provide the facilities that the
populations Of that particular
area need.
II we depend too much on out
side help. too much on the Fed
eral Government, we viii lose
independence and initiative. But
III the Federal Government
doesn't step in with leadership
and with providing credit and
money where necessary. there
viii be q lack of schools In GER
tain important areas. And this
cannot be allowed.
Function to Perform
So this is q problem again
where the private citizen, the
locality, the State and the Fed
Ieral Government all have q func-
Ition to perform, all have q re-
Isponsibility to meet--always in
conformity with those two basic
truths that education must be
free and it must be good.
There are no easy solutions
and I don't expect this Confer
Ience to find any easy solutions.
But ! do know this: When SEN
Isible Americans s-men and
women sit down together to dis
Icuss a problem in the hope OF
achieving a solution that is good
for the whole Nation. something
sensible comes out. We don't
have crackpot ideas. We don't
Evening star., 1955-11-29

have doctrinaire opinions or So
Ilutions.
So we want a solution that is
good for all. and all Of us want
to help in the proper way.
This conference Of yours. Of
course, has been preceded by
State and community conferences
all over the Nation. Some Of you
participated In them. Much good
has come out Of it. You, by meet
ing here, continue the work Of
those conferences. You begin to
crystallize the solutions that they
have proposed and suggested and
will try to bring them together
so that the good Of the whole
Nation may be met.
ArduOus Schedule
You have an arduous schedule
ahead Of you. But ] particularly
like the idea / have heard that
you are going to break yourselves
up into small groups 50 that
every phase and facet Of this
problem win be thoroughly dis
Icussed among you and 80 that
nothing will be CLOSED over.
nothing win be handled In gem
eralities. We win get down to
specific things.
So all / can say further Is: !
| am deeply grateful to each of
you for participating in this con-
ference, for helping in the solu-
ton of this problem. ] am CRATE
full to all Of those in the commu-
nifty and State conferences that
took place ahead of this one. ]
am perfectly certain that speak
for every American in expressing
their thanks, along with my own,
as you take up this task.

It is indeed an honor to have
this opportunity to address, even
by indirect method, you men and
women Of the White House Con-
ference on Education. You come
from every one Of our States and

you are focusing attention on a
grave national problem. That
problem is the losing race be-

Ten years ago the guns were
Istilled and the war was ended
Very naturally, our country, like
all others. found itself In a state
Iof great confusion. Many prob

turned our attention TO preserv-

international organizations fol
that purpose. We took care oi
many other problems that were
directly incidental to the war.

Mrs. Campbell Attempts
To Upset Resolution Bon

An Arlington tVa.) mother
last night tried-and failed-to
upset a ban by White House Con-

against resolutions.
Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell,
member Of Arlington's elected
school Board, created something
Of q sensation at the opening Of
the high-leVel conference by pre-
senting an unscheduled motion.

to be adjourned.
She told Chairman Neil II.
McElroy she wished to move that
a committee on resolutions be
named to determine whether
resolutions should come from the
conference. and If so what kind.
Move Surprises McElroy
Mr.. McElroy, obviously taken
aback by the unexpected parlia-
mentary move. declined to accept
Mrs. Campbell's motion.
This morning, Mr.. McElroy
announced that he was ruling
Mrs. Campbelps proposal out Of
order as impractical. His deci-
sion was greeted with applause.
Mrs. Campbell told newsmen
her purpose was to ''let the con-
ference have a voice If it wishes

Mr.. Nixon called on the dele
