SCHOOL SYSTEM
The next session of Congress will probably be asked to
vote something like $60,000,000 for the relief of the nation's
public schbols; and When the question conies up for debate

fly Herbert Piummer
WASIUNOTON As yet there
never has been defined olearly what
President Roosevelt regards as the
"emergency" phases of his adminis
tration and those he looks upon as
parts of his promised "new deal" In
government.
During the campaign much was
heard of the "forgotten man" and
what would be done to Improve his
lot. Many felt there was an Implied
promise of the building of a new
economic order In this country.
Then came March 4 and with It
the series of unprecedented crises.
Machinery was Installed hastily to
cope with the emergency. The "new
deal," In the minds of almost every -
body, became synonymous with
everything that was being done to
bring the nation back to Its feet.
Those close to the president, how
ever, are of the opinion that he draws
a clear distinction between his em
ergency program and the "new deal."
Behind The TVA
Dr. Arthur B. Morgan, director of
the Tennessee Valley Authority, In a
recent discussion of the TVA, brought
this out clearly when he said that the
project should not be considered pri
marily as a dam building job, a
fertilizer Job or power transmission
lob.
When I first went to see Presi
dent Roosevelt," said Morgan, "he
talked for an hour about the TVA
and there was scarcely a mention of
power or fertilizer.
Ho talked chiefly about a de-
signed and planned social and eco-
nomlo order. That was. what was
first In his mln-JL At the time I did
not roallzo how far-flung his ideas
haTnlZnrrJ
country as a whole didn't realize
how great a change in private and
national llfo was to be made.
I have spent possibly 10 hours
with him since talking over the TVA
and I may say that to him this IS
not a part of the emergency pro
gram." .
Looking To The Future
Morgan points out that the govern
ment is providing about five billion
dollars for the emergency programs
and that about 1 per cent of this Is
to be used for the TVA. i
If wo can make the work serve
an cmerRcncy purpose, however," he
says, "that should be done, but It 1
should not be looked upon as emer-!
gency work. I
