41LBUR ASSAILS GENTRAL' CONTROL Calls for More Local Govern- ment—Hutchins Asks New School Scheme. (Continued Prom First Page.) October. Dr. Cooper told the superin- tendents also that the House bill which would create a department of educa- tion with a secretary in the President's cabinet, would transfer from the In- terior Department the office of educa- tion, authority over land-grant colleges, the ‘Columbian Institution for the Deaf and Howard University. The convention, which has brought 15,000 educators to Washington in its own sessions and those of allled educa- tional organizations, will be closed this afternoon. Tonight, the department of superintendence will witness a special presentation of the folk masque “Wakefield” in Constitution Hall. The masque, designed and written for the United ' States George Washington Bicentennial Commission, will be pre- gented for the educators through the courtesy of the national bicentennial commission. ‘Want No Such Mastery. In his denunciation of over cen- tralization, Secretary Wilbur compared a completely centralized government with the human body. So complete is the mastery of the nervous system, he pointed out, that the prick of a knitting needle in one place in the upper spinal cord means death. “We want no such mastery of our central government over the welfare of the people of the continent,” he declared. Discussing the place of education in the national scheme, Secretary Wilbur said “the school teacher writes the in- surance policy of democracy.” Refer- ring to the teacher's work, he said: “To him or her must come democ- Tacy's mew recruits, a motely group, but each one charged with potential- ities for good or evil. What.a re- sponsibility to take a large share of ithat time which is life of all our youth to about 18 years of age and use it in such a way that democracy will be safe. For each child must go through the process of unfolding, or developing personality, of making a success.” Dr. Wilbur charged the schools with caring not only for the normal child but also for the handicapped. The school, with its broad functions, he said, “must deal with children in such & way that they will acquire a sense of service to their fellow men and to soclety in general; there must grow up in their minds the concept of a country to serve, mot & government upon which to fatten.” Must Evaluate Child. “The most unfortunate person,” Becretary Wilbur contended, “is the one who is dressed up educatiorally and has no place to go. To have been prepared and then not wanted is a tragedy. The duty of the school is to evaluate the child, to study soclety’s needs, and, through education, to make the child fit in somewhere. Devotion to curriculae instead of preparation for the activities of life makes many mis- fits." The Secretary of the Interior said every child must fight his way through the Tipening of the mind and the de- velopment of the body, contending “over-protected children are apt to be- come poor citizens.” While some may escape the fight against poverty, he said, all must strug- gle against disease. dirt, drugs, ba social contacts, fauity habits, and all must seek to' Achiéve a rounded citizenship. He added’ that there can be no safety for democracy without the “religious or spiritual impulse.” Change,” Dr. Wilbur continued, “is a part of growth, and democracy must grow to survive, but education should give us some Insurante that these changes will be based upon the use of the intellect rather than of the pas- sions and emotions. The teacher, as guardian and trainer of the mind of the child, must share with the parent the responsibility of secure and stable government. Education must be 4 | fought against the odds of a cold that motivated by a high patriotism.” | Democracy, the cabinet member con- cluded, can be kept safe by making the most of opportunities to build in the schools “strong, self-reliant, independ- ent men and women united in sound £mall units of self-support and self- government.” Units Interdependent. “Except in temporary emergency or war,” Dr. Wilbur concluded, “we can never keep democracy safe by imitating autocracy and the tryant, even though that tyranny be a grant of democracy dtself.” In his address on “Education as a National Enterprise,” Dr. Hutchins contended that the public schools and the universities are interdependent. The financial interests of the two educational groups, he said, are ddentical. “If the schools are cut to pieces this year,” he said, “the State uni- versities will be next year. If the schools are crippled now, the colleges will be later, either through reductions in their funds or through gross defects in the preparation of their students. If our work is interdependent, the uni- wversities cannot, without protest, watch ® major operatfon performed on the schools which, to judge by its present rate and direction, seems more likely to kill the patient than to profit him or the community.” During the hysteria of inflation, Dr. Hutchins continued, the schools did some things they cannot now do with- out. But, he sald, the things that communities propose to do to them in the hysteria of economy far surpass "' = wildest abberations of bull-market “ays. “We hear a great deal about ‘frills,’ " pr. Hutchins said: “What are ‘frills'? eachers’ salaries appear to be frills in some cities. The health of the Bchool children is a frill in others. Bince night schools are frills’ in one SPE TICES. p:cmwz TAX SERVICE—COLLECTIONS, eal estate conveyancing. INTERNATIONAL SERVICE BUREAU, W Met. 2658, _915 Eje St. NW.

Brilliant Company Accords Honor to Venerable Editor. An 87-year-old man who has crossed the North American continent 140 times in the interests of education alone sat in the Willard Hotel surrounded by a brilliant company which sought to honor him on his birthday and termed “tragic” the school claim that more learning will produce more money and more fame for individuals. Dr. Albert E. Winship, editor of the Journal of Education since 1886, was speaking yesterday at the luncheon given him on the anniversary of his birth, February 24, 1845. Mrs. Herbert Hoover was among those who listened. Community Service Needed. “We have told children that they| must get more education in order to| get more fame and more money,” Dr. Winship said. ‘This is tragic. The individual can't accomplish much with the world, but he can with the neigh- borhood. If you serve the community you serve the world.” And that's the counsel of a man who is in Washington attending his sixty- third national convention of educators, this time the annual meeting of the department of superintendence of the National Education Association. At the | gathering in his honor Dr. Winship is striving to make inroads on his health, but he took occasion to size up education. Dr. Winship said that a lifetime spent in the active interests of the schools has convinced him that education must train for community service. The venerable educational editor is DR. WINSHIP, AT 87, DEPLORES “FAME AND MONEY" EDUCATION DR. ALBERT E. WINSHIP. one of the best loved men in his profession. During the present con- vention the Exhibitors' Association pre- sented him with its annual award for service rendered to education, and on a previous occasion—several years ago— he was presented with a watch chain composed, of 48 gold links on each of which was engraved the name of a State—a State whose educational in- terests he had served. Born in West Bridgewater, Mass., February 24, 1845, Dr. Winship at vari- ous times has been a grammar school principal and an instructor at the Bridgewater State Normal School in his | State. He studied at the Andover Theo- | logical Seminary. He holds the degree of doctor of literature from the Uni- versity of Nashville and that of doctor of laws from the University ver- mont. He was a private in the Clvil War, Union Army, from 1864 to 1865y was pastor of a church in Somerville, Mass., from 1876 to 1883, and was dele- gate to the Republican National Con- vention in 1896. community, we close them and throw 75,000 people into the streets. The plain fact is that the schools are under attack because it is easier to get money from them than it is to correct the fundamental inequities and antiquities of local government. Only a people that had no conception of the place of education in its national life could contemplate the ruin of the next generation as the best remedy for gov- ernmental insolvency.” Says Freedom Necessary. Dr. Hutchins argued that public schools must have the freedom to de- termine their own ideals and their own metheds of Achleving them. The forces of experiment and progress latent in | them, he said, never can be released fl{ the public schools are compelled to think chiefly of meeting the require- ments imposed upon them by institu- tions of higher learning. “If one thing is clear,” the Chicago University president said, “it is that the primary purpose of the high schocl | is not to prepare students for the col- | leges and universities. By behaving as though it were, the colleges and univer- sities repress the high schools, and to that extent, weaken themselves by | weakening the educational system to which they themselves belong. 1 “The great task of educational ad- ministration in America is to take the | organization above off the neck of the | organization below.” | La Follette Speaks. ‘ When Senator La Follette placed the burden of training American youth for changing economic conditions upon the | schools in his speech last night, he told | the superintendents that one long-time | outcome cf the current economic con- | ditions should be social planning “to | mitigate these swings in the business | |cycle s0 as to achieve an ever-rising standard for all the people” “In times like these, Senator La Follette declared, “we are prone to re- | valuate, and for me, what is not serving | the interests of society, should go." Giving figures on conditions for which he recently demanded Federal relief, Senator La Follette said one striking | factor in the situation is “bankruptcy of leadership in finance, industry and government.” “Education must accept partial re- | sponsibility at least” he charged. “There never was such a necessity for leadership. The responsibility for de- veloping the leadership of the future rests in the hands of the educators.” Dr. David Snedden, professor of edu- cation at Teachers College, Columbia University, sald last night that Ameri- can public and private agencies have reached a kind of “splendid adulthood” | and are no longer “infant industries.” “We spend more dollars on public schools, we have more of our youth in high schools and colleges,” he sald, “than all the rest of the world together. We have higher limits of compulsory school attendance, we have more com- modious school buildings for our youth | than have any other people. Quantita- | tively, we have gone far. But there are many reasons why we shculd have a ‘divine discontent’ with the qualities of the educations we offer.” In personal cultures, in civic ideals, in vocational competencies, moralities and conservations, Dr. Snedden de- clared, the achievements of the schools “seem to fall sadly short of popular and popularized expectations.” Blames Changes. “These seeming deficiencies,” he ex- plained, “are certainly in part due to the changes rapidly taking place in our Perhaps our school educations inality—but in the meantime, automo- have made new kinds of crime im- | did prospects for | declared, scientifically-based rather than custom-based curricula for our schools,” and the social sciences, through surveys and research, are con- tributing vast recourses of sclentific material for the guidance of educators in discovering the best school offerings to fit youth for the complexities and shifting of present-day life. Mark Sullivan, noted news writer, told the educators that mechanical in- vention had achieved everything but making people think. While inventions multiply by geometrical progression, he “thus far no mechanical means has been found for increasing the quality of cerebrations.” Last night's session was preceded by |a concert by the United States Navy | Band under the direction of Lieut. Charles Benter. |MRS. J. M. BEAVERS HEADS | | WAR MOTHERS’ CHAPTER Other Officers Are Installed at Meeting of Mary Ball Wash- ington Group. Mrs. John M.

The expected unanimous approval to the nomination of Judge Benjamin N. Cardozo of New York as assoclate fus- tice of the Supreme Court was given | by the Senate without any more than the bang of a gavel. It took 10 seconds at the close of yesterday's session to ratify President Hoover's choice of a successor to the venerable Oliver Wendell Holmes, wio retired under the weight of great age. Justice Cardozo is not expected to take his place on the highest bench until March 14. He has some work ahead of him on the Court of Appeals of his State of which he is chief judge, and after next Monday the Supreme | Court will recess until the March date. In the absence of any occasion for haste, the nomination is being held the customary three days before trans- mission to the White House, although there is no question that the Senate would have been glad to waive its rules as a tribute to the new justice, universally acclaimed a worthy fol- lower to the distinguished humani- tarian and liberal he succeeds. PLOT TO EMBROIL AMERICA CHARGED Foreign Service School Official Sees Europe's Hand in Pro- posed Tokio Boycott. European plots to entangle the United States in an economic boycott of Japan | were seen last night by Dr. T. H. Healy, assistant dean of the Georgetown For- eign Service School, before about 75 members and guests of Alpha Chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon Foreign Service Fraternity at the chapter house. “The stake of the United States in | Japanese trade is five times that of | any other nation,” Dr. Healy declared. “Europe, still suffering from the war, would like to see the economic colossi |of the East and of the West at grips in order to recoup some of her losses in_the war.” Dr. Healy also scored peace organiza- tions in the United States as promoting war rather than peace with their ideal- istic schemes for world disarmament. “Japan has been waiting for 25 years | to make its present step into China and Manchuria,” he stated, “and she found the time opportune ®hen the strength of the United States has been sapped by the idealistic notions of our pacifists. An adequately prepared United States would have been the surest guarantee | against an aggressive Japan.” The speaker also urged a Navy for the United Stcics second to none in the world.

America should adopt & new long- time program of land utilization to, bring back prosperity for the farmer, Secretary of Agriculture Hyde declared yesterday at a joint meeting of the Washington Rotary Club and the Schoolmasters' Rotary Club in the Wil- lard Hotel. The audience included some 400 school superintendents Mr. Hyde sald his plan would involve abandonment of the old expansionist policy in favor of conservation and im- provement of present agricultural lands and gradual removal from less fertile areas. ursery of a Great Race.” Only through such steps, he said. “can we hope to maintain agriculture as the mainstay of a great people and the nursery of a great race.” The speaker said that although a fourth of the American people depend upon agricuiture, farmers have not en- joyed prosperity for more than & dec- ade. He declared this had caused an increase of inequalities between educa- tional facilities in city and country despite the American doctrine of equal- ity of opportunity for all citizens. Educational progress in the rural regions, Mr. Hyde said, is bound up with profits to be derived from agricul- ture. Such profits, he added, were cur- tailed in 1930 by the fact that 366,000,- 000 acres of farm land were under cul- tivation, or 55,000,000 acres more than needed. Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of Washington schools, was elected president of the Schoolmaster’s Rotary Club without opposition. Dr. Joseph M. Gwinn, superintendent of San Prancisco school’s, the retiring president, said Rotary relationships not only had humanized American school superintendents, but had “increased their physical girth by three inches.” SEVEN ARE INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENTS Three Automobiles Damaged in Crash at Park Road and Park Place. Seven persons sustained minor in- juries in traffic accidents on Washing- ton streets this morning and last night. Four of them were hurt and three automobiles were damaged in a mishap at Park road and Park place about 10:45 o'clock last night.

Maintenance of instructional stand- ards in the face of enforced economies was urged upon all legislative bodies and boards ‘of - education by the de- partment of superintendence of the National Education Association in 1 of 20 resolutions adopted at noon today. The superintendents urged also the continued “vigorous and impartial en- forcement of the entire Constitution of the United States as the supreme law of the land” and they reaffirmed their “belief in the principles of the eight- eenth amendment and in the habits of life and conduct which it is intended to inculcate.” Relief Proposal Defeated. Another resolution proposed inde- pendently by Eugene A. Colligan, asso- clate superintendent of schools in New York, and Louis Nusbaum, associate superintendent of schools in Philadel- phia, recommending that the depart- ment of superintendence undertake “to afford immediate gnd substantial finan- cial relief to the teachers of Chicago by direct contribution in the form of a loan” was defeated. Addressing itself to the economic de- pression, the department of superin- tendence took several actions looking to the solution of school problems. “Because of the interdependence of our social, economic and educational life,” the resolution report asserted, “we urge that when feasible, boards of edu- cation and administrators co-operate with other State, county and municipal officials to the end that during this pe- riod of economic distress, ways may be found to effect economies in govern- mental administration which will not cripple the education of the children " Asserting that the welfare of the Na- tion demarids that the education of youth shall not be sacrificed, another resolution called the attention of leg- 1 islators and school boards “who find themselves confronted with the neces- sity for economy to the imperative need for the maintenance of instructional standards.” Urges Increased Support. Again, the 'department urged in- creased financial support for the United | States Office of Education. ‘The educators asserted in another resolution that “true patriotism is not | served by ignorance and refusal to face facts and problems.” Therefore, the resolution urges, “history taught in the public schools should include an intel- ligent effort to arrive at essential facts involved in the significant crises of the past in order to prepare our people to { deal intelligently and justly with such crises in the future.” ‘The reference to prohibition was con- tained in the following resolution: “The Department of Superintendence urges teachers to continue to im respect for the Constitution of the United States and for all of its various amendments. We urge the continued, vigorous and impartial enforcement of the entire Constitution of the United States as the supreme law of the land, and we reaffirm our belief in the prin- ciples of the eighteenth amendment and in the habits of life and conduct which it is intended to inculcate.” Smith Followers to Meet.
