ASBURY PARK EVENING PRESS. SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1924. 5 FAVORS EDUCATION POST Endorses Proposal For New Department In July 4 Address. WASHINGTON, July education, if necessary controlled and supported by the states under the guidance of the federal government, was advocated yesterday by President Coolidge speaking before 15,000 delegates of the Education association, at thetiona! cluding session of its annual convention. The administration had proposed in the government reorganization plan a department of education and relief, to be presided over by a cabinet officer, the president reminded the teachers, in reference to their demands for a cabinet member on education.

This plan, however, had his indorsement, he added, "bearing in mind that this does not mean any interference with. the local control and dignity, but is rather an attempt to recognize the importance of educational effort." Refraining from any discussion of the political situation, Mr. Coolidge emphasized the importance of education to America and lauded the teaching profession, saying the teachers are entitled not only to adequate rewards, but to the honor of a grateful people. "Ignorance," the president declared, "is the most fruitful source of poverty, vice and crime, and it is as easy to realize the necessity for removing what is a menace, not only to our own well-being to the very existence of the republic 17,000,000 Illiterates. In this connection he reminded the delegates there were 3,000,000 native illiterates in this as well as 14,000,000 foreign-born illiterate white persons.

Many of the latter were above school age, he said, but nevertheless were to be given the opportunity to read and write English language "that they may come into more direct' contact with the ideals and standards of our political and social life." Greater attention to rural schools also was urged by the president. Recalling his attendance at an "old oneroom country school," he argued that these institutions must give way to the consolidated school "with a modern building and adequate teaching force commensurate with the best advantages that are provided for our urban population." "It is necessary," he added, "that education should be the handmaid of citizenship. institutions are con. stantly and very properly the subject of critical inquiry. Unless their natuer is comprehended, unless their ture is comprehended, unless their value be properly assessed, the citizen falls ready prey to those selfish prejudices to promote their own advantage."

We must see how utterly futile is knowledge not attended by divine guidance. We must realize that the constitution is not merely a rag of a document with the 18th amendment attached to give it its greatest publicity.

We must teach aliens that it America is a good place to gather wealth, it is also a good place to learn its language, adopt our spirit and share our burdens."
