Mr. Hanna Shows Defects, Glor ies and Necessities of Schools and School Teachers 2 IMPORTANT PROBLEMS Fargo, N. D., Nov. .21.—Making a ringing call for a thorough-going ad- vance along all. educational lines, President G. E. of the Nortn we 's’ association presented the annual report of the as- sociation head at. the first s the 1921 meeting here toda; ging, his hearers first. fo consider the highest pinnacle to, which the pro: fession ofthe. schoolman calls, Mr. Hanna continued through the various fields of service, showing the defects, glories and necessities of the schools and of school teachers,’ , j 3 - Among the defects he found the lack of appreciation of. the schools found in the want of patronage, a want that had resulted in the present time in 20,000,000 in the United States being unable to read a word or write a let- ter. He found the low quality of teachers in preparation and ideals another defect which compelled 4,000,- 000 of today's pupils to submit to the f teachers less than twenty-one years of age. Following this line he found another defect in a national life that spent but one- seventh of the amount for schools that it does for luxuries (statistics of 1918, last available). ; Among, the necessities of the schools he ,found; the need. of. working the highest. ideals of school service into nagement, thie need of a larger management. suggesting the county, or, North: Dakota, and increase’ support for these. units, so. their heads ight hip Which school funds at the present time cannot buy Among, the glories, lie, found the op- portunity, for service, the right oflead- ship and the place which the school- man of the best ideals may find in the profession, “Democratic Government,” declared Mr. Hanna, in his openigg. sentence; “rests. squarely upan the. high aver- telligence of its entire citizenry.

A very large! minority: utterly fail in a full com-, prehension of the importance of edu- cation. ‘Comparatively few there are who apreciate in a practical, fune- tioning way what is necessary as to plan, men and money to make the great system we need, Two of the most important problems, for our country to think about then are (1), an appropriate education: of the peo- ple to the. importance and needs of the schools, and (2) 2 means of secur. ing an appropriate expression of thi ultimate authority in its management of the schools, After discussing school patronag financial support, methods, needs in management, security -in tenure. for teachers and territorial | reorganiza-. tion,’ Mr. Hanna continued: if itis! important that the public accept the | publié schools at par it is doubly. im-| portant that teachers themselves are fully imbued with true ideals of their | profession. Primarily it 1g the task of | teachers to. burn inte the hearts of the! people a great zeal for their schools, } but this they cannot do unless. they | have. the great vision themselves. | Teachers are. educational experts and as,such are depended upon for educa-| tional stimulus and leadership of the, public. teacher that she: has no greater. duty! in relation to education than fo help: the public to clear and convincing a preciation of the value ‘of education. “The greatest need of the school ig better understanding of the funda: mental purpose of education, for ‘th sake of better teaching.

Mrs. Frank S. Henry, one of the state delegates to the auxiliary convention, has, at the request of The Tribune, written the following story of the or- ganization convention: “The American Legion Auxiliary came into being November 2, at Kan- sas City, Mo., with representatives from every state in the union and Hawaii on the convention floor’. “Unanimous decision to support the American Legion in the posts, depart- ments and nationally in all its aims and purposes was the keynote of the convention. The closest contact to the Legion*was urged as necessary to the organization. The Legion's pro- gram for Ameritanism and legislation was uphéld: The convention urged eral government in providing courses ‘in citizenship and instruction in Eng- lish for native. born and foreign born adults in need of such instruction, Ed- ‘ucational institutions are to be asked to include in their curriculum a course in citizenship. The conven- tion also went on record as being un- animously in favor of the adjusted ;compensation bill that is now before congtess and that has the backing of the American Legion, _ “The question of the care and jus- tice to our disabled men was made a very important issue and the question of’ wavs and means was taken up with an enthusiasm that promised not to wane until the need «for proper hos- _ The Victrola Gives | most for your money , ‘ Nowadays, more than ever before, people intent upon getting their money’s-worth, and it is at such times that the value of any a commercial product is most accurately estab- i "The Victrola is not only the standard of quality but the standatd of value.
