Jones. In a formal statement Miss Jones named more than a dozen national organi- tions of high standing that are ac- tively supporting the association in Its program of “service to the wel- fare of childhood. While the statement was not a di- rect answer to the accusation made by Dean W. P. Burris of the College for Teachers of the University of Cincinnatl, in an address before thel National Councll of Catholic Men last Thursday, it was Inspired by his as- sertion connecting It with a “power- ful secret organization.” Mr. Bur- ris' failure to name the “secret or- ganization.” resulted in the general impression that he referred to the Ku Klux Klan, whereas teachers here pointed out that he meant the Scot- tish Rite Masons, Assoclation’s Definite Policy. “The National Education Associa- tion, ized in 1857, has from ity very beginning dedicated itself to & program of service to the teachers, to the profession, to the nation,” Miss Jones said. “Its supreme purpose is the welfare of the childhood of Amer- ica. One phase of its comprehensive program looking to this end is its i sing activity for the recos- nition of education which its funda- mental purpose in a democracy de mands. No one denfes that. Fducy- tion affects 25,000,000 children each year. It is of vital concern to all of our 110,000,000 people. “That education {s ineflective in many communities in the nation can- not be denied.

The 1920 census lists 1,400,000 children between the ages of séven and fourteen year: who were not attending school at all. Such conditions should no ionger pre- vail. ~ The state and local school toards should continue to direct and control their schools, but they should have the ald and co-operation of the federal government in correcting these educational weaknesses that are of such vital national concern. It is to accomplish these purposes that the education bill was drafted. “For more than fifty Xears the Na- tional Education Association has: gone on record favoring a national department of education, with a secretary in the cabinet of the Presi- dent. The Daughters of the Amerl- can Revolution, a patriotic organiza- tion dedicated to the preservation of American_Institutions, has, for more than a quarter of a century, urged the creation of such a department. Great national organizations of men and women have reafirmed again and again their allegiance to this Dprinciple. “The outlook for the passage of the bill has never been so favorable a$ at the present time. The friends of public education in this country will never cease thelr activities until education is given the recognition which its dignity and importance de- mand, and until the facilities are provided for securing to every child in this great democracy an educa- tional opportunity equal to that of every other child.” —_— GIBBS TO PLAN CABLE.
