A—12 COMPLEX THREATS CONFRONT NATION Early Problems Are Changed by Late Developments, k. Says Dr. Cooper. The myriad problems rising out of the complexities which are the character- istics of the growth and progress of the Nation are more serious threats against the life of the United States than the size, sordidness and Democracy which the ‘early Congressman, Fisher Ames of Massachusetts, feared, Dr. William John Cooper, United States Commis- sioner of Education, declared in an ad- dress to the District of Columbia Edu- cation Association Friday night in the Interior Department Auditorium. Dr. Cooper cited quotations attributed to Representative Ames: “Our Coun- try is too big for union, too sordid for atriotism, too Democratic for liberty— ts vice will govern it.” A program of public _education, together with ade- juate Nation-wide communication and ghe practiced theory of representative government, he sald, has overcome Ames' first fear. A glance at current daily newspapers, however, Dr. Cooper said, would seem to justify Mr. Ames’ fears of sordidness and its effect upon patriotism. Problems Are Complicated. “But there is another situation,” Dr. | Cooper declared, “which Mr. Ames did not foresee, and could not be expected to foresee, which seems a more serious menace to democracy than either of the conditions which the Massachusetts Representative feared. I refer to the fact that the burdens and responsibili- ties of citizenship are becoming very much more aerlouslchnn in the early days of the Republic.” ly>.r1m to the 'JClvfl ‘War, Dr. Cooper eontended, most of the national prob- lems fell into one or the other of two ca the “problems of constitu- tional interpretation, and, second, prob- lems of an ethical or moral character.” Among those of the first type, he said, ‘was the question of relationship between the State and the Federal Governments. Out of this question rose the tariff and the national bank issues. Moral Issues Cited. The temperance issue, Dr. Cooper declared, fell in the ethical or moral class of problems. This issue resulted in the creation of temperance societies, which ultimately led to the great prohi- bition issue with its many ramifications. Miss Bessle Goodykoonts, assistant commissioner of education, outlined new educational methods, citing the trend toward more active participation on the part of the pupils themselves. Dr. J. Orin Powers, president of the association, presided and presented both speakers. Resolutions were adopted at the opening of the meeting expressing Tegrets of the District of Columbia Education Association over the death of Miss Anne Beers, popular educator of long standing in the local public school system.
