U. . SCHOOL FUND DOUBLING IS ASKED Age of Laissez Faire Is| Closing, Teachers Are Told at Denver. By the Associated Press. DENVER, July 1.—America needs 2,000,000 teachers and a $4,000,000,000 educatoin budget, Prof. Jesse H. New- lon of Columbia University told the convention of the National Education Association here today His recom- mendations would be double the pres- ent figures. Approximately a third of the 12,000 delegates gathered in the convention | hall to hear Prof. Newlon while the others scattered to couference rooms for allied study and uiscussion meet- | ings “The United States,” the speaker said, “is emply able to provide, even in these depression years, $4,000,000,~ 000 annually for schools and can af- ford nothing less. The National Gov- ernment should immediately assume one-half of the total cost of public elementary, secondary and higher ed- ucation. “Laissez Faire” Held Fading. “The age of laissez faire individ- uglism is closing, although the Na- tional (so-called) Liberty League and the so-called ‘grass-rooters’ may not know it.” The schools of the Nation were de- xeribed by Bishop Francis J. Me- | h Connell last night as “doing more for real freedom of the land than the scores of blazing patriots who in- fest legislative halls caliing for oaths | of devotion to the Constitution—or to whatever the patrioteer thinks sa- cred.” The Methodst churchman from New York spoke at vesper services cpening the convention. “If the Nation is to allow criticism of anything, it must allow criticism of itself,” the clergyman admonished the educators. “All sorts of vested inter- ests today are telling us that we should not rely on aay agencies of change except the slow and gradual. ! Of course educational processes are slow and gradual. But their aim is to train minds to act quickiy. The edu- | cational system should make possible this quick thinking and quick acting.” More U. S.
