It is understood, Stone feels $17,000,000, the banks present funds, ave not large enough with which to go into Ney York. In the statement to the United Press today, Hobart said “We have thought over Mr. Ford’s position in the financial world and believe that his entrance into the cooperative plans would be of great benefit to the workers of the nation. as they would fare in all the proceeds of our bank under the cooperative system. 4 percent interest is paid on deposif Then, after expenses, including the return on capital stock are paid, the proceeds are divided among the de- | positors in the form of dividends If Ford goes into the deal, finan- cial officials quoted today that he has cd to give Wall Street a battle n its own teritory.

I yolan, Speaker of House, es Helpfnl Address Friday Aternoon’ ) Declaring that the method of tax- ation in this and other states is some- what antiquated and that the solu- tion of financing our educational in- stitutions would be solved by increas- ed production and the elimination of waste, thus increasing efficiency, Pres, L. D. Coffman of the University of Minnesota held a largé audience spellbound at the general session of the Northern Division of the Minne- sota Education association held at the new armory Friday evening. He presented facts, showing the tremendous increase of school attend- ance throughout the United States, pointing out that this nation led all other nations combined in .nis re- speet. “When we compare our education- al institutions of 1922 with those of 1870,” said Mr. Coffman, “it is not difficult to see why our schools cost more to operate. Taxpayers are as- tounded, but never stop to realize that the school of today is-doing for the children what the home did for them in 1870- “Where is the home that teaches | the child to sew, knit, darn, cook or instructs him in manual training work. This has been passed on to the school. In 1870 the average schooling given and required was -a- bout 250 days during a lifetime. Today we operate and make it com- pulsory to send the child to school eight to nine months each year. * “More education is needed) for the child of today. Our national. prob- lems are being settled through po- litical expediency rather - than, for public interest. The public’s welfare is secondary and before these issues can be squarely met it will be neces- sary to raise the standard of our-ed- ional systems. It will be neces- sary to make changes, so ‘that our young people will be not only leaders but intelligent followers of great leaders.” President Coffman pointed out the need of giving the student in 12 years the same amount of schooling which it .now takes fourteen years to give him, stating that more young blood is needed to solve the issues of the day than ever before and that the waste in education had to be cut doyn as well as the yaste in produc- tion of commodities. A As far as being able to pay fal higher education, he merely made comparisan of the money expended for luxuries to that spent. for educa- tional purposes. The nation spends fifty million dollars for chewing gam and twenty-seven million for teacher training.
