LESS FOR EDUCATION
MORE FOR LUXURY,
Washington Dec. SL "Education
Is the vital element on the success of
any nation," said the Hon. John J.'
Tlftirt, United States Commissioner
of Education, in a public speech,
pointing to vocational training and
industrial teaching in such manufac-l
Curing centers as Detroit as an exam-
pie ui uie practical vaiue 01 eauca
tion. :
Continuing, the commissioner quo
ted statistics proving thr.t the one and
one-half trillion dollars spent cn edu
cation In the Nation last yntr.
large sum in Itself, was pitiful when
compared with the; twenty-two bilt
lions spent for luxuries.
: "From these statistics," he said, "it
would appear that the country cares
more for chewing gum, cigars n
cigarettes, and cosmetics than it does
for education."
. Educators have seized upon this com
parison as a striking argument in
favor of the passage of the Towner
Sterling bill, now before congress,
creating a Department of Education,
with a Secretary in the President's
Cabinet. The biil appropriates a hun
dred million dollars to be spent amonK
the stntes in the aid of education. One
hundred millions Is the two hundred
an twpntleth part of last year's coun-try-wiJe
bill for luxuries.
Dr. Tlnert drew attention to the
"lnslOur.us propaganda" spread by
'some agency' against the expenditure
of larKo sums by the government In
aid ol iduiatlon, and termed the
proper and wise use cf money In edu
cat'on a the salvation of the country
against many of the evils of Ignor
ance, intolerance, and 'fanaticism,
which monace Its prosperity.

be more untitling than the naming of
Butler. " ' .
When asked for specific incidents
of corporate activity on the part of
Butler, Shipstead referred to a re
port prepared by Delos F. Wlllcox a
New York accountant, baaed on an
examination of the Twin City Rapid
Transit Company. ., This company,
Shipstead said, with Butler acting as
its attorney,, used eyery artifice and
technicality to prevent examination of
Its books by the municipal authorities.
Twin City Transit Report Reflects j
, Against Butler.
Asked as to the disclosure In the
Wilcox report, Shipstead said It show
ed "a yellow dog fund" totaling sev
eral hundred thousand dollars from
which money was paid to various pub
ic ofrlu;a! and men of great political
influence during the period whn-i 1'ie
corporation was seeking special fav
or from the Legislature or lha Ciry
council."
This is not the sum tot.il nf thn nl.
loged unfitness of Butler for the Sup
reme court bench. It is Just an inci
dent. Shipstead wants the senatorial
sub-committee to summon witnesses
to fortify his attack, and he names
tnree university . professors among
mem, namely Stanley Rypins of the
University of Minnesota, Gerhard Die
trichson of the University of Illinois.
ana Felix Frankfurter of Harvard
University, besides a number of othei
distinguished citizens.
"This is not a personal matter,"
said Shipstead. "It Is not a political
matter. , I nave nothing against Mr.
Butler personally, but he ought not to
ho permitted to sit on the Supreme
court of the United States, and this
can be definitely demonstrated."
Privately soma, nf thn nnti.Hor.
ing men admit of a belief that the
nomination or nut:er is likely to be
confirmed, but U it li. they say there
is no doubt the result will hn n wMn.
tag of the existing party division. La-
ronette win lead the opposition to
Butler In the executive se?slon of the
Senate, and he will be backed by Sen
ator Norrls. Ajnready Butler Is spok
en or. in legislative circles as "Boom
eranf Butler." and thin u nn n h
