WASHINGTOY, D. ., THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1921, FESSKENYON BIL AGAIN UNDER FIRE “Federal Educational Lead- ership, Not Control,” Wanted, Is Position. The Fess-Kenyon bill providing for the establishment of a department of public welfare was again under fire today at a joint hearing of the Sen- ate and House committees on educa- tion and labor. Educators urged that the provision of the bill creating a branch of the proposed welfare de- partment to deal with education be eliminated. They insisted that edu- cation was worthy of a separate de- partment, with its head a member of the cabinet. Representatives of labor told the joint committee that the children's bureau. which the bill places under the department of welfare. should be left in the Department of Labor. It insisted _also that vocational ning should be madc a bureaw in the Department of Labor. whether it dealt with former service mem er other person Representative Harry Hull of Towa appeared before the joint com- mittee in the interest of government aid for the deaf and dumb. Dr. Charles R. Mann, chairman of |the educational division of the iplans committee of the general war staff jof the Army, strongly urgzed upon the jo'nt committee that education shouid be left to an independent de- partment. He declared his opposition, {however, to the centralization of edu- cational control in the federal gov- ernment. The people in the states should retain control of educational {matters. he said. A burst of applau ’{rom the educators in the commitice room greeted this statement. Opposes Centrallzation. Dr. Mann declared that the control of Jarge funds to be distributed for educational purposes among the states would be an effective means of cen- trailzing control of educational mat- jters in the federal government, no {matter what language might be used in the law. He said that he was not opposed to the kind of aid done now by the Department of Agriculture which stimulated interest in educa- tional matters. T am opposed to the government holding large sums of money to be d tributed to the states to pay for educa- tion,” he said. “It tends to educational centralization.” In reply to a question | by Senator Sterling of South Dakota, | Dr. Mann said that he thought the | Smith-Hughes = educational act has worked out badly in the main. Dr. Mann indicated that while he was in favor of a separate department Ior education, he was opposed to fea- tures of the so-called Sterling-Towner bill for that purpose. fearing that edu- cation would be centralized in Wash- ington. “I would like to have citizens come to Washington to see how they can help the government rather than to come here to see what they can get out of the government,” said Dr. Mann. ‘This brought another burst of appiause and Chairman Fess of the House com- mittee on education remarked that the committee was seeking information {and not conducting a debating socie :n; that the applause should be omit- ed. Mr. Fess suggested that at present the bureau of education is under the Secretary of Interior, who is absorbed in other matters dealing with the nat- ural resources of the country. He asked if it would not be to the advan- tage of education to place it under the department of welfare. Dr. Mann admitted that the bureau of education was net receiving the at- tention it should. He pointed out that the appropriations for ‘the bureau this year had been only $160,000, an inade- quate sum. He said, however, that in his opinfon, the dignity of the office of chief educational officer of the govern- ment would be lessened if he became merely an assistant secretary of wel- fare. As a matter of fact, Dr. Mann said, he believed that education should be placed above welfare, since education entered into every welfare activity, in- cluding the public health. He said that he should dislike to see the head of the public health service, the surgeon gen- eral, hereafter designated as an as- sistant secretary of welfare. Declares Salaries Inadequate. ‘The Kenyon-Fess bill, he pointed out, provides salaries of only $5,000 for the assistant secretaries, who are to have charge of, education, public health, eto He said this was entirely inadequate, and that a man of ability could not be expected to serve in s capacity for that amount, which was not a living wage for such 2 man in Washington. Dr. Mann insisted that it would be a “grant gamble” as to whether cdu- cation would be any better off under the department of public weifare than it 1s under the Interior Department U. 8 MoGlll, secretary of the Na. tional Education Association, told the Jjoint committee that the educators de- sired a day to be heard next week. and the committee delermlned to hear them on Wednesday. backed up the statement made yeaterdny by Rep- resentative Towner that the xflcnu of education would not be with a bureau under the dom( of public welfare. “The educators and the friends of education generally feel that it ouu mean no advance for education, clared Mr. McGill. He insisted t‘l they wanted a separate department ef education and that they believed ulti- mately they would get it. “What we want,” he said, “is educational leader- ship from the government, but not teducation control.” He suggested that the pending bill be amended by strik- ing out all reference to education. Edgar Wallace, representing the American Federation of Labor, recom- jmended that the children’s bureau be left in the Department of Labor in- stead of being placed in the public welfare department. He said that the Department of Labor was better able to consider the needs of children in industry than would be the mew de- partment. The children of the work.- ing people, he sald, are the ones par- ticularly affected. ‘Vocational education, also, should {0 to the Department of Labor rafher than the Department of Public Wel- fare” sald Mr. Wallace. He argued that the Department of Labor, being conversant with the situation’in the world of labor, would be better able to advise the men as to the oppor- tunitles offered by the different trades, —_— G.

Cepyright, 1921, STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 12.—To say that the Swedish people are em- bittered over the decision of the com- missioners giving the Aland Isiands to Finland is putting the case mildly. The text of the official report in which tne islanders are refused the right to determine their own fate is published in the newspapers accompanied by ed- itorials denouncing nearly every point ¢ raised by the three reporters In the preamble the reporters de- clare that the Aland Islands geo- graphically form a continuation of the Finnish archipelago and are equally important strategically to iboth Sweden and Finland. In di cussing the matter of sovereignty the reports conclude that Finland's right| to the islands is indisputable and that separating them from Finland would deprive her of legal property. Re- garding a plebiscite in the islands the orters deny the right of any minor- to divorce itself from a state to be orporated with another. Contrary to View.
