S., Says Commissioner Tygert. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 28.—Retrench- ment in expenditures for public schools is seriously threatening the educational progress of the United States, John J. Tigert, federal com- missloner of education, told delegates to the convention of the National Education Association here. “It i8 obvious,” he sald, “that the present efficiency of the schools can- not be maintained if teachers’ sal- aries are reduced, and it is probable that they will have to be increased still further even in the face of de- creases In the cost of living. The av- erage teacher's salary at present, he added, is not over $900 a year. | A difference of opinion developed over the need for a centralized direc- tion of the nation’s educational ac- tivities in charge of a member of the presidential cablinet. The need for 8Such a national organization was urged by George D. Strayer of Colum- bia University, who declared: “‘Good administration, the structure of our national government, the prac- tical importance of education in our national life—all call for the recog- nition of education in our federal government through the establish- ment of a national department of education, with a ecretary in the president’s cabinet.” Opposes Federal Support. Alexander Inglis of Harvard Uni- versity. opposed federal support and direction of public schools as “funda- mentally unsound policies of govern- ment.” Long- distance governmental interference in schools administra- tion he denounced as “viclous.” “The proper function of the federal government in education is that guid- ance and stimulation through investi- gation, through the scientifie study of educational practice and educa- tional conditions on a nation-wide and comprehensive scale, through the col- lection and dissemination of infor- mation and ot upon by states expert servic said. Prof. Inglis 8 the only speaker to oppose the Sterling-Towner bill, a measure embodying policles for which the National Education Association has been fighting for three years. This bill would place a secretary of education in the President's cabinet and permit the appropriation of up- ward of $100,000,000 annually for educational purposes. “Let us not be deceived,” he as- serted, “all acts providing for fed- eral subsidies in aid of education carry with them the dynamite of fed- eral” participation in ‘the control of education and the determination of educational policies. When that bomb explodes it will be of little service to have their advocates protest that they did not know their measures were loaded. The ‘fifty-fifty’ policy is one of the most subtly dangerous inventions of modern politics, at least as far as education is concerne “If we make the country school good as the city school we must h a new type of bullding, we must have gymnasiums, libraries, agricul- tural museums, aert fooms, music rooms, shops, laboratories and di- versified courses of study. In the consolldated school the welfare of the children must be conserved by ade- rwise, when called nd communities for sloner of education of Maine. OFFICIAL WANTS ROADS TO HAVE RATE POWER Pennsylvania Line Vice President Says I. C. C. Should Be Made Corrective Agency. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, February 28— Lower railroad rates cannot restore “a prosperity that was lost by the destruc- tion of the buying power of the world,” G. D. n, “vice president in charge of traffic of the Pennsylvania railroad, last night declared in an address before the Flour Club. Prosperity, he said would that buying power is built hich, happly, Mr. Dixon said, the railroads would not be able to handle the traffic when busi- ness does revive. Mr. Dixon said the most important thing to facilitate the return of rail- road prosperity and progress would be the restoration to the railroad managers of the powers of discretionay action. *The railroads,” he declared, *“should Ibe free to make rates, with the Inter- state Commerce Commission to act as a corrective. body when such rates should be proven unfair and unreason- able. The present system is dangerous, It will lead to the breaking down of the railroads and spells ultimate govern- ment ownership.” GETS DEATH SENTENCE. By the Associated Press.
