SOCIETY. Mrs. Rooseve It Is Guest Of Pen Women’s League First Lady Asks That Economy Be Carefully Administered Where Education IB concerned. It is up to the women to see that economy is properly administered where education is concerned, Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt told the members of the National League of American Pen - Women at the annual Spring luncheon of the organization yesterday at the Willard, The First Lady has just be- come & member at large of the league, which is composed of authors, artists, poets and sculptors. Mrs. Roosevelt said: “We are going through & period of economy in every- thing that touches our Government. I think there is much economy that will be wise and good, but I think it is pos- sible that we may have some harmful economy. When you are cutting salaries 1t is necessary to cut all salaries, but I believe that we should direct education cuts primarily to a cut in building. ‘There are school buildings that are just as good for educational purposes if they had cost one-half as much as they have cost. If you cut the teachers' salaries you do harm, and prevent them from doing things which we expect them to do as teachers. “I have always felt that one main | factor in education was the dominating influence of the teachers, and I thlnki in this country it s very important for | us to be seeing about such things,” the First Lady continued. In speaking of | education in general Mrs. Roosevelt said: “All will not be well with the| world until we really do & great deal more than we are doing now about edu- | cation. I would like to talk a long while about preparation of our teachers. 1 do not know a great deal about public schools. I, of course, have taught in a private school. I went to a private| school, but I do want to take an interest | in the preparation of your teachers. It| is & highly important thing and allied to that very closely is what we do with our children in training them.” Mrs. Roosevelt said she belleved there is more to be done in training the thought of the people and that it must be started in childhood. She pointed out the im- portance of teaching foreign languages, which, she said, is most useful in bring- ing about a better understanding be-| tween nations and of the history of the | world. | Mrs. Roosevelt thanked the league for her membership, and in bringing her talk to a close she said: “I am con- stantly realizing more and more that | books, newspapers, etc, play an im-| portant part in the education of women : and children, and I do hope that you will feel an individual responsibility to think along these lines, and bring about a condition of affairs which will mean | that we can say in the future ‘all's well | with the world.'” Mrs. Roosevelt was introduced to the Edward Thurman Smith of Missouri, and Mrs. George Butte, wife of the Vice Governor of Manila.
