t ¢ - &£ EDUCATORS DENIED _ PROCLAATION AID President Feels He Has “Ex- pressed Himself Fully,” Secretary Declares. Officials of hte National Education Association have confirmed reports that President Coolidge has decided Tot to issue a proclamation urging observance of American Education week, November 7-13. The association, | Wwith other organizations, ‘is sponsor- ing the week. A letter from the President's secre- tary, Everett Sanders, to Miss Cor- nelia 8. Adair, president of the a clation, was made public at the as- sociation's headquarters yesterday. It declares that the President “has 3 pressed himself fully as to h victions on the value of education and holds that to rephrase such senti- ments tends rather to weaken them than otherwise.” Assoclation officials had requested an | audience with the President. Mr. San- ders’ letter, which was in reply to this request, concluded: “For that rea- son he will issue no proclamation this year, Therefore, it would not be fai to waste the time of the committee to discuss the matter with’ him.” It pointed out that the President had seen “very glad to do this in 1923, 1924 and 1 tion ‘was issued last year. Because of the increasing number of requests made upon him by various interests for proclamations vear after year, he feels that in most cases they should #ot be made annual events.” Officials of the Education Associa- tion explained that they had not re- | quested the President to issue al proclamation in 1926 beeause of the | expressed views of John J. Tigert, commissioner of education, that a proclamation was not necessary be- cause the Government itself was no longer sponsoring the’ event. Association officials said its mem- bers accepted the situation last vear, but felt now that a presidential proc. | 2% lamation should precede opening of | education week. The petition for the proclamation, they said, was signed by governors of 24 Statesand leaders of many educational organizations. — but no_proclama- | % ' SOCIETY | _{Continued from Eighteenth Page.) | going over by automobiles.
