Paints President's Portrait for White House ROOSEVELT ANXIOUS TO BEGIN" WORK (Continued from Pag One) , The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and contrite heart, 0 God, thou wilt not despise. Psalm 51: 17. . ; , SCHOOLS DEMAND SERIOUS THOUGHT j ,,v,Ab some millions of school children all over the United .States are getting; themselves squared away for the com ing year, their fathers and mothers might profitably spend . a little time in meditation about the present plight of the entire school system. ....... - Few public services have felt the depression more than the schools.,, Teachers have gone unpaid, school activities have . Iieen cut down, some schools have been forced to extent their holiday periods, others have had to close entirely, nearly all have had to drop certain courses and consolidate a nunjher of activities. ........ ( Nor is that the worst. While all of this has been happeii . ing, there has been developing an influential and vocal group Which has insisted that the schools have been getting more than their share of tax revenues even in good times. We are Ixjing told that our school system is far more elaborate I and more expensive than it need lie. It is being argued not only that the school budget must be drastically reduced dur ing the depression, but that the reductions must be permanent. ,. Anyone who has ever paid taxes will admit that the schools have been costly. It is probably true that many school executives have become a bit self-important in ther claims for tax support. Some towns have built school build 'ings on a too-elaborate scale. Some schools have tried to Include too many things ih their curricula, Nevertheless, admitting that there has been extravagance ... nnd-a lack of judgment in many school boards, one far more important fact remains unchanged. It is simply this: our whole society is built up around the public school system, and ' "any drastic change in the school system must have far-reaching effects on the entire nation. i We are committed to a political democracy, and we are now trying to broaden it to make it an industrial democracy ns well. To make a go of it we must have a body of citizens whose minds have teen given all the training, all the en lightenment, which they can assimilate. The system sim ply cannot work otherwise. . Before we consent to permanent reductions in our pubjic school se'Vlces, wo must do 8me very careful thinki"g. -f at the United States conference of mayors just as Mayor John D. Dore. of Seattle, had finished a declaration that the Pacific northwest was slip ping deeper Into depression because of delay In allocating the public relief money. "I am glart to have this opportunity to extend ray greetings to the United States conference of mayors, and through your organization to thank the mayora of the . various cities of this country for the help and support they have given the national admin istration In carrying out its program for national recovery," said the mes sage. "The federal government Is glad to have the co-operation of the confer ence. I wish you and the chief ex ecutives meeting with you all success In the discussions of the Important Issues confronting all public officials. "I hope that during your delibera tions you will consider carefully the relationship of your states and sub divisions to the recovery program of the federal government. Congress has appropriated three billions three hun dred millions of Collars to finance a comprehensive program of public works, In part for federal projects. Approximately one billion six hun dred millions already have been allo cated. Wo are at the point now .where the state and municipalities interested in public wo-ka projects should come forward quickly with proposals which will give immediate work to their unemployed. ; "We want to co-operate to the full est possible extent and I assure you that after your projects have been passed upon by the state advisory boards they will be acted upon In Washington with a minimum of de lay. "We will match speeri with you. The money is available and we want to put men to work. "I wish the mayora all success in their deliberations and I especially hope that these deliberations will re sult In a stimulation of Interest all along the line on our public works program." ft rH'F vrifvbh, A II 9 i tJvMj II iSsv - TODAY IN .
