MI10MAL Unprecedented Progress in Education progress In UNPKKCEDENTKD In 1024, the there being more real achieve-ment than any year yet recorded, ac-cording to a statement made by John J. . TIgert, commissioner of education of the Department of the Interior. The statement follows In part : During the year there were enrolled In the public, elementary and high schools 25,000.000 pupils, of whom about 3,500,000 were In the high schools; there were enrolled In the private and parochial schools about 2,000,000, with 500,000 in the second-ary schools; universities and college enrolled over 700,000 students; the teachers' colleges and normal schools enrolled 800,000 pupils, of whom about 40,000 were students In the secondary stnge; business colleges and commer-cial schools enrolled 330,000 students. The average dally attendance In public, high and elementary schools was In the vicinity of 20,700.000 pupils. These enrollments can be best appre-ciated when compared with the year 1000, for example. In the twenty-fou- r years since 1000 attendance In the pub-lic elementary schools has Increased 44 per cent; In the public high schools, 574 per cent; In the colleges and uni-versities, 272 per cent, and In the teuchers' colleges and normal schools, 274 per cent. Very naturally, these enormous In-creases In attendance have Involved a corresponding Increase In 'cost. It Is estimated that the educational bill In 1024 amounted to $1,800,000,000. In the fle!d of rural education, where progress has always been slowest, there has been a tendency to supplant untrained and nonprofessional admin-istrative officials with those who have been fitted by special training for their task. More than 25 per cent of the states raised their standard for cer-tificates during the year. Hural teachers' salaries Increased on an average of $100.. The term was considerably lengthened, and there was a corresponding Increase In average dally attendance. In the neighborhood of 1,000 school consolidations were made. Expenditures for transporta-tion Increased $.3,500,000, and about 5,000 one-roo- schools were closed be-cause of the coming of more adequate consolidated schools. Public education In the cities was marked by the most extensive building program ever yet attempted. Madden Questions Power of President legal right of President THE to appoint a commission congress authorizes It has been challenged by Martlp B. Madden, chairman of the appropria-tions committee of the house, and that committee has turned down White House requests for $275,000 to pay the expenses of the St. Lawrence commis-sion, and for $50,000 to pay traveling and other" expenses of the agricultural commission. When a deficiency bill was reported to the house, the appropriation com-mittee announced that It whs unable to approve the two recommendations because they were "propositions of major Importance for which there is apparently not sufficient substantive law to bring them within the Jurisdic-tion of the committee." Mr. Madden's attitude toward the St. Lawrence commission appropria-tion was indicated when Brig. Gen. Edgar Jadwin, assistant to the chief of engineers, appeared before a sub-committee of the appropriations com-mittee. The general started out to read a memorandum showing that the President had appointed the commis-sion, headed by Herbert Hoover, sec-retary of commerce, but Mr. Madden demanded : "What authority granted the right to appoint the commission on which Mr. Hoover served?" "The President appointed It" Gen-eral Jadwin replied. "Where was the lawT countered Mr. Madden. Later Mr. Madden stated that the only legal authorization for funds to study the St. Lawrence waterway waa under the International Joint commis-sion, "and that report must be made to congress. The President has no legal authority to appoint a commis-sion unless congress authorize! it." The letter from Mr. Coolldge asking for $50,000 for the agricultural com-mission stated thut the members bad agreed to work for nothing. And he said: "I feel that as the services they are rendering the government are In the Interest of the whole people of thta nation, the government should pay their expenses while engaged on this task." Robert D. Carey, one of the mem-bers, told the committee that as two members lived In California, two in Minnesota, two in Wyoming, two In Pennsylvania, one In New York, and one in Kansas, every time they came to Washington and returned abont $1,000 in railroad fares was needed. Farmers Coolidge and Lowden in Accord (T F YOU want to see the day when I the grand old yeoman stock of JL our country," said Frank O. Lowden In a speech before the marketing conference, "shall be replaced by the peasant and all that the peasant Implies, then re-sign yourselves to marketing condi-tions so unfair, so unscientific, so largely based on speculative greed that It makes a large crop worth less In the aggregate than a small crop. "Take cotton as an example. This happens: Increase the yield less than 5 per cent and you decrease the price 20 per cent Is there any Justification for such a system of marketing as that? Under any just, sane or sen-sible system would that sort of para-dox be possible? "It happens in butter, In corn, In hogs. Is it any wonder farmers lost faith In the present method of market-ing farm products when they saw 1923 corn marketed at a price below the price of production?" A few minutes after Farmer Low-den had finished President Calvin Cool-idge hacked him up. Farmer Coolidge agreed with him, saying: ' "Firmly as I believe in the broadest and soundest programs of marketing, I want to make plain that I am no blind believer In any magical attribute of the proceed-ing. A good deal that Is positively mischievous has been put about In this regard. There is a school ot who seem to believe that the pro-gram can be started at the top and built downward. They want the gov-ernment, or the banks, or philanthro-pists, or Providence, to lay out a scheme big enough to cover the coun-try, set Its machinery moving, guaran-tee It all needed capital, and then In-vite the farmers to sit in the places reserved for them and proceed to gar-ner their profits. "I offer no such Aladdln-llk- e project. "I want to see society as a whole help, but I want to see the farmers do their share, and I warn them that this will be the lion's share." The first steps the President thinks should take are (1) estab-lishment of grades anu standards, (2) encouragement of good and elimina-tion of poor varieties, (3) increase In the efficiency of production, (4) pro-vision of a unified product adapted to Its market, (5) organization of distri-bution, and (6) creation of confidence in products and methods. i Coolidge and Curtis Win by One Vote are still talking about the THEY of the vote by which President's veto of the pos- - tal employees' pay raise bill was sustained by the sennte. Fifty-fiv- e senators voted to override the veto and tVenty-nin- e to sustain It. The sup-porters of the bill lacked one vote of the two-third- s majority required to make the measure a' law without the signature of the President. The prestige of Mr. Coolidge In this first test of his leadership since his triumphant election was maintained by virtue of "the support of the veto by several "lame duck" Republicans and by several Democrats, some of whom executed as about-fac- e on the pay-ral.s- e measure in order .to make its defeat certain. The Democrats to whom the Presi-dent is Indebted for his victory are Senators Dial, King, Owen and Shields. Had any of them failed him the Presi-dent would have been beaten. Mr. Dial voted for the pay-rais- e bill last May, but voted to sustain the veto on the final vote. Others who voted for the pay raise orlginolly but changed front In order to defeat it by supporting- the veto, were Senators Ball, Bursum, Cameron, Capper, Cum-mins, Curtis, Harreld. Hale, Keyes, McKInley, Oddle, Pepper, Phlpps, Ster-ling, Watson and Weller. Opponents of the President point out that the White House chose to make this vote the test of fealty to the administration, perhaps largely for the psychological effect a triumph would have as President Coolidge em-barks upon his tenure of office In bis own right Every ounce of influence the admin-istration possesses was exerted to pre-vent the veto from being overridden. So palpable were the efforts of the White House to line op votes that the administration was taunted on the floor of the senate with allusions to Coolldge breakfast parties and the of-ficial plums with which the faithful would expect to be rewarded. The leadership not only of the Presi-dent but of Senator Curtis (Rep., Kans.), the new majority leader of the senate, was at stake in the contest, they aver. Senator Curtis won his first fight, but by such a (tqueak that he was visibly trembling In his chair as the roll was called. ' With this postal pay bill dead, the administration leaders Immediately announced that they would press the Moses bill providing for wage In-creases for postal employees and or a $60,000,000 postal rate ,advancf; te produce the additional revenue which ' will be required for the higher com-pensation.. j, ' . - v v i ' (' fJX, 1 ' Peel fa Representative 1 ' of Great Soccer Body i Peter J.

ISSUE ENTRY BLANKS FOR BIG AUTO RACE Seventeenth Season for the World's Famous Contest. Entry blanka for the thirteenth an-nual 500-mil- e International Sweep-stakes, scheduled for Saturday, May 80, 1925, have been placed in the malls by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This will be the seventeenth season for the world's most famous automo-bile speedcourse, the $50,000 dash being Inaugurated the third season and the track being Idle during the years this country participated In the World war. The conditions for the coming race will be almost Identical with those for the 1024 event Cars eligible must not be powered with engines exceeding 122 cubic Inches piston displacement, which In European terms is two litres. It will be the last year for these en-gines, the speedway having announced last summer that beginning with the ; 1925 race the engines would be lim ited to 91 Inches or 1 litres. The two-litr-e class started in 1923 and last May 30, the late Joe Boyer aver-aged 98.23 miles an hour, lowering the records made by larger engines. Cars with two-litr- e engines must weigh not less than 1,400 pounds. The contending drivers must average 85 miles an hour for ten miles or four laps of the course to go to the start-ing line. Not more than 33 cars will be permitted to start, the slower cars dropping out If more than 33 qualify. The trials will be conducted on I May 26. i The $r0,000 in cash, which Is an- - I nually supplemented by awards of al- - most an equal amount by accessory and equipment makers, will be divided I among the first ten drivers to com- - plete the distance, with $20,000 to the i winner and $1,400 to the tenth pilot. ' In addition to these prize moneys a consolation prize of a substantial , amount will be awarded, the amount f and manner of distribution to be an- - nounced previous to May 30. European drivers have been unable , to win an Indianapolis race since the war, although the late Howard Wilcox did win in 1019. The engineers on the other side of the Atlantic are showing I unusual Interest this year In the race f and numerous requests for entry I blanks hnve been received. The In- - I terest shown caused T. E. Myers, sec- - retary-treasur- of the speedway, to jl visit Europe and he Is now on the s continent making the rounds of the I Interested factories In Belgium, Ger- - many, Italy and France, and will spend some time In England before be returns to this country.

Football Is Disease at University of Notre Dame The secret of the perennial success of University of Notre Dame football teams was revealed by a Chicago news-paper. A campus full of n wearing khaki pnnts and flannel shirts, no girls to fuss over, and Knute Rockne'a coaching, wrote a sports expert in re-counting his observations ot conditions responsible for the playing which per-mitted Notre Dame to go East and de-feat the Army and Princeton, and re-turn West to overwhelm Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Leland Stan-ford. "There Is a football atmosphere oa the Notre Dame campus that probably does not exist anywhere else," said the writer. "It's a disease. No hardy young man can attend school there without contracting it. "If he cannot make the varsity eleven, he may may make the second or third, or fourth, or clear on up to the seventh, for there are seven full-size- d teams practicing every afternoon In the gridiron season. Then there Is a football team for every boarding hall, and a big squad of freshmen, "As for Rockne, lie runs football at Notre Dame. He runs the business end and he coaches the team."
