Department J for Jfr of dy Q Education, with New Bill y JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN a new bill embodying radical supporters of the movement .Vf T I changes, for the establishment by congress of ASf an executive Department of Education with a cabinet place for its head hope to obtain favorable action this winter. The new bill will be Intro duced, according to present plans, in both houses at the opening of the Sixty-nint- h Congress. Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, majority leader In the senate, and Representative Daniel A. Reed of New York will introduce the bill, it Is stated. The outstanding feature of the new bill Is that It eliminates the $100,000,000 provision for federal aid and asks simply for an annual appropriation of $1,500,000 for the Department of Education. Another important feature is that the bill provides for the transfer of the Federal Board for Vocational Education to the Department of Education as a division ; previous bills would have done away with this independent body. The first change, it is believed, will answer these opponents of the movement who argue that federal aid appropriations mean federal control. Certainly no power of control over the educational systems of the various states Is vested in the Department of Education, in the intention of Its advocates. Moreover, the temper of the times la evidently against further extension of federal aid projects. The second change. It Is believed, will win over those who were opposed to the abolishment of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. This new bill was unanimously endorsed by the National Education Association at Its sixty-thir- d annual meeting at Indianapolis. It provides for the establishment by congress of an executive Department of Education under control of a Secretary of Education to be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the senate. This secretary Is to be a cabinet officer with the usual salary, $15,000. The idea in fixing the salary of the assistant secretary at $10,000 Is that he Is likely to be more permanent than the secretary and the salary should be large enough to secure an able man. The office of the Commissioner of Education is abolished, as la logical. The Federal Board for Vocational Education is transferred to the Department of Education ; this Board is, of course, separate and distinct from the United States Veterans' Bureau. The provision for a Federal Conference on Education Is Important ; some educational activities of the Federal Government must remain where they : War Department and Navy Department. The fields of research desired are speciflr .lly named, it will be noted, and there Is provision for distribution of results. The annual appropriation for the pepartment of Education is $1,500,000; this does away with the $100,000,000 federal-ai- d provision of the last bill. Features of the bill are as follows: I TH r are-exa- mples auction I. There shall be In the Department of Education an assistant Secretary of Education, to be appointed by the resident, and to receive a salary of flO.OOO per annum. TheasAssistant Secmay be preretary shall perform such duties scribed by the Secretary of Education or required a be a chief also shall There law. solictor, by chiefs of clerk, and a disbursing clerk, and such bureaus and such scientific, technical and clerical to carry out the assistants as may be necessary and as may be provided for provisions of this set by Congress from time to time.

In order to aid the people of the several states in establishing: and maintaining more efficient sohools and school systems.

The department shall make available to educational officers in the several states and to other persona interested in education, the results of the research and investigations conducted by It. Section 9. For the fiscal year ending June to, 1928, and annually thereafter, the sum of 11,600,000 or so much thereof as may ba necessary, is hereby authorized to be appropriated to the Department of Education. All unexpended appropriations which shall be available at the time when this act takes effect in relation to the various bureaus, offices, and branches of the Government which are by this act transferred to or Included In the Department of Education, shall become available for expenditure by the Department of Education. Section 10. The Secretary of Education shall annually make a report in writing to Congress describing the work done by the department, and shall at the same time make such recommendations to Congress as will. In his Judgment, Improve public education in the United States. He shall also from time to time make such special Investigations and reports as may be required of him by the President or by either house of Congress or as he himself may deem necessary and urgent. Section 11. The act shall take effect 30 days after its passage, except that the provisions of this act in relation to the transfer of any agency from the Jurisdiction and control of one officer to the Jurisdiction and control of another, or in relation to the transfer of authority, powers, and the duties from oje officer or agency to another, shall take effect July 1. 192. Mrs. Mary C. C Bradford, state superintendent of public Instruction of Colorado, said after the N. E. A. meeting : "This measure is practically my child. While president of the National Education Association In 1918 1 appointed Dr. George W. Strayed of Teachers' College, Columbia University, as chairman of the commission on the emergency in education and presented to It the Department of Education plan. I think this Is a good bill and the wisest step for us to take. Otherwise we should have to stop legislative work altogether and practically throw away the fruits of seven get no leader In years' struggle, for we couldfederal-aiproposal Congress to Introduce our old again. I believe the bill has a good chance of going through, as we are In rather a strategic position." Under the Harding administration the proposal was made for a Department of Education and Welfare. It failed of popular support. Its successor Is the bill for the reorganization of all the executive departments, which Congress has neglected to date. This bill provides for the creation of a Department of Education and Relief, which Is to include the activities of the Federal Government In the fields of education, health and veteran relief. President Coolldge, it is known, favors this reorganization measure. Whether he will favor the Department of Education as defined In this new bill Is not known. Now the National Education Association and the many other organizations supporting the movement want education and veteran relief kept separate. And they believe In the federal-aiproposition. But the reorganization bill failed of passage In the last Congress, so they feel at liberty to work independently of that measure. Also the federal-aiproposition was apparently doomed to failure. So they are going ahead on the line of least resistance, content to wait for federal aid. There are some 27 organizations, most of them with nntlon-wld- e membership, supporting the movement for a Department of Education. X)ne Is the Religious Education Association. Another Is the American Council on Education. The Notional Education Association is represented through Its field secretary, Miss Chart O. Williams, in the Women's Joint Congressional committee, with headquarters in Washington. The other 21 bodies represented In this committee are all women's organizations. They Include powerful organizations like these: General Federation of Women's Clubs; Its president, Mrs. John D. Sherman, la chairman of tbe Joint Committee. National League of Women Voters, president. Miss Belle Sberwln, Cleveland, Ohio. American Association ef University Women, president. Dr. Aurella Henry Relnbardt, Oakland, Con-fer- - d d d Cat. lr en n 2r. George D. Jh-aye- r' American Federation of Teachers, president, Mlaa Florence Rood. Minneapolis.

National Consumers' League, general secretary. Mrs. Florence Kelley, New York. National Council of Women, president, Mrs. Philip North Moore, St. Louis. National Women's Christian Temperance Union, president. Miss Anna Gordon, Evanston, I1L National Women's Trade Union League, president, Mrs. Maud Swartz, New York. National Board of Young Women's Christian Associations, president, Mrs. Robert Speer, New York. These organizations have been working for "action by Congress creating a federal Department of Education and providing federal aid to the states for eradication of illiteracy, for Americanization and for the equalization of educational opportunities." It Is understood that all the organizations mentioned as supporting the movement approve the bill as amended. Dr. John J. TIgert, United States Commissioner of Education, who delivered on address at the National Education Association meeting, said that the new bill would secure the united support of the school people of the United States. Miss Char! O. Williams reported that she had consulted tbe Federal Board for Vocational Education and It approved the new bllL The American Legion, which is closely affiliated with the National Education Association in many ways, will taka action on the raended bill at Its coming national convention. John W. Mahon, newly elected national commander of the Disabled American Veterans, baa given out these alms of his organization: "A supreme effort to have wounded veterans given vocational training. A fight against proposed absorption of the Veterans' Bureau In the projected Department of Education and Relief. Miss Mary McSklramon of Brookllne, Mass, the newly elected president of the National Education Association, believes that the passage of the new bill Is the outstanding feature of the association's program. "The education bill provides for research in education," she said. "That furnishes the means to the end of educational progress. Higher qualifications for teachers. Increased participation of teachers in school policies, and all the other progressive movements in the field will be furthered by the creation of a federal department." "Efficiency and economy demand that those agencies In the Federal Government dealing with education and now distributed among the several executive departments be brought together under a single executive." said Doctor Strayer, In an address to the Nadonal Education Association meeting. "Education so vitally affects every aspect of government that it Is essential that this executive sit at the council table of the nation. "Surely no one who believes In our public school system can object to the development of an adequate fnct finding and agency In the Federal Government. If progress Is to be mndo In the development of our public school system the experience and successes of every locality and state must be made available for every other part of the country. "The members of the teaching profession are tinolterably opposed to the development of anything that might be remotely characterized as bureaucratic control of education, but wo recognize as Intelligent American citizens the necessity for more significant scientific Inquiry with respect to our objects, our procedures and our efficiency. We know the possibilities that lie In the organlza-tlo- n of a Department of Education for Improving and developing the service represented by e public school system. We believe that the AmrtCan people will no longer withhold their approval of the creation of a Department of Education." - 1 11 111 Production of Quality .. tHrpnm Important JrOnt Proper washing and scalding of cream separators after the milk, la run through them reduces the bac r ana me teria in the cream keeping quality of the cream Is greatly Increased, according to the results, of an experiment recently conducted by the dairy department at South Dakota State college. With cream grading becoming m more common practice, the production cream is one of the Imof portant points in successful dairying." Realizing this fact, the dairy department undertook to determine what effect the care and cleanliness of the separator had to do with the produc-- . tlon of quality cream. Two separators were used In the experiment. One was washed and scalded after each separation while the other one was only rinsed. Cream separated 12 hours later in the separator, that was only rinsed showed an average bacterial count of 10,800,tXK) per cubic centimeter. Cream from tbe same milk separated In the machine and washed scalded, thoroughly bacterial count of only showed and the flavor and keeping quality was far better. The skim milk In these trials showed even a greater difference In the bacteria present. When the machine was not taken apart and washed for two separations, the bacterial content showed a greater Increase.' one-hai- That 80?" Growled the Tiger. your old neighbor, the Tiger! While you're roaring and boasting I'll be get ting the good things of life. Poor old. conceited, roaring King Lion." But the lion only roared more than ever, for he was very angry, particularly because he knew that much that the Tiger said was quite true. The buffalo did not think so much of the lion as be did of himself. "They may talk about the fierceness of the lions," he said, "and the cleverness of tigers and leopards, but let me tell you one thing." The buffaloes all gathered around to listen to the buffalo. The African Lion, Pro told, weighs four hundred pounds or so. That's a good weight. Far be It from me to make fun of such a weight. But they're not as dangerous as we are. We slioald be called kings Instead of the lions. How fine It would be. If only people knew this and would say King Buffalo the First, and King Buffalo the Second, and bo on." "Why would they say King Buffalo the First and King Buffalo the Second?" asked one of the younger . "Because the best buffalo, meaning myself, would be called King Buffalo the First, and the second best would be called King Buffalo the Second." "Oh," said another buffalo, "that Is a little different from what Is usually meant by first and second when speaking of the names of kings. It usually means that one king follows the other upon the throne." "It means what I will have It mean," said the first buffalo. "We do deserve the name of king, for we are great as well as dangerous." "All kings are not dangerous," said one of th other buffaloes. "In fact, kings are quite nice and pleasant, I've heard." "Don't put on airs," said the first buffalo, "for we all know next to nothing about kings. Pesldea, I was speaking of lion kings, not men kings. "We are more dangerous thon 'any Hon, for we dash at our enemy, and we can protect our head" and shoulders with our horns.
