(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."
