Members of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States were asked today by the chamber to cast thelr vote in a general referendum on the gquestion of extending the federal government's interest in edu- cation. Organizations making up the chamber’s membership were asked to vote on the three following proposi- tions: Do you favor creation of a fed- eral department of cducation with a secretary In the President's cabinet? Do you favor enlarging the pres- ent federal bureau of education? Do you favor the principle of fed- eral aid to education in the states on the basis of the states appropriating sums equal to those given by the federal government? Two Reports om BilL The three questions to be voted on are to be embodied as the principal subjects dealt with by the chamber's committee on education, which has prepared reports on the Towner- Sterling bill and other proposals. The signers of the majority report on the latter proposals say that the edu- cational system of the country has been undergoing a steady improve- ment without federal control and that / the states can obtain funds within thelr own borders to meet educational needs. They further say there is no need for a secretary of education in the cabinet. Signers of the minority report point out that, at present consti tuted, the nat educational sys tem has defects which are a menace to national life. and favor passage of the Towner-Sterling bill. et LR In 1867 the poet Milton sold the manuscript of “Paradise Lost” at 325 for the first 1,300 coples.
