Organized Movement in
Legislatures to Curtail
Public Education, Charge
Made By President of
N. E. A Attitude Indi
cates Backward Swing, Is
i-
Assertion. "
ATLANTA, July 2. P The
charge that there were organized
movements afoot in most state ;
legislatures to curtail public edu
cation today was before tho Na-
tional Education association con-1
ventlon, whoso representative as
sembly gathered for Us first formal
meeting. '
The charge was made by Dr. V. ,
V. Lamkln, president of the asso
ciation, In the course of an ad-:
dress to summer- students of the
University of Georgia at Athens, j
Declaring that only one of the
state legislatures which havo met
in the last 12 months had shown
whole-hearted support of public
education, Dr. Lamkln said tho at
titude of lawmakers generally in
dicated a backward swing which
ultimately would lead to "deplor
able conditions." Ho urged all
teachers to fight the efforts of the
enemies of educational progress.
Dr. Augustus O. Thomas, Maine
state commissioner of education
and president of tho World Fed
erations of Education associations,
addressing a Second F.aptit
church audience, declared that
women have written the most bril
liant page In history since college
doors were opened to them hardly
a generation ago. Since then, he
said, women have advanced from
non-property owning citizens to
holders in their own names of 42
per cent of the national wealth.
Far From Goal
But, ho said, education's goal was
Tar from realized. He pointed
out that but one and one-half per
cent of tho public and private In
omc was spent for education, while
crime costs accounted for nearly
nine per cent. The mora spent on
education, he said, meant that
much less expended to detect, ap
prehend and punish criminals.
Tho names of Miss 13. Ruth
Pyrtlc of Lincoln, Neb., and Miss
Efflo MacCJregoi Of - Minneapolis,
were placed In nomination for tho
presidency of the association. The

A code of plhU-tj fur school
teachers, prepared by a special
committee that had spent five years
in its preparation, was unanimous
ly adopted by the asrtociatlon.
The code embodies many clauses
never embodied In any similar doc
ument and includes unions ltd pro
visions: "The school room Is not tho
proper theatre for religious, politi
cal or personal propaKunda.
"Tho teacher should not permit
his educational work to bo used
for partisan politics, personal gain
or selfish propaganda of any
kind."
SAX FHANi.'LSOO, July 2. )
Dr. Henry Neumann of Brook
lyn, N, V., a leader of tho Society
for Ethical .Culture, told the Na
tional Conference on Social Work
here today that "more than one
public school does Its part not to
prevent wrongdoing but actually
to encourage it."
ijr. Neumann declared that lack
of equipment for studying pupils
as individuals, overworked teach
e rs a ml "a w oo d e n d u 1 1 1 1 ess of
teaching' were some of tho reasons
fur his statement. Ho declared that
the public school would he "a far
more effective agency for tho pre
vention of delinquency when It
alters Its whole outlook."
Easy to Make
Your Present Car
Look Like New
'One reason why the automobile
manufacturers expect to build 6,-
000.000 new cars in 1929 is because
of the style and beauty appeal. Bui
for every person who will break in
a new car during the year, about
four will bo making their present
car do tho transportation Job,"
says Sum Jennings, local Flak tire
dealer.
'Any standard car of no matter
what year, can be given an entire
ly different appearance by tho ad
dition of a few well selected ac
cessories, that harmonize with the
general design. A new bumpc..
l'owI lights and chromium plated
headlamps arc among the acces
sories which economically may be
used to doll up tho family bus for
another year's use. Add a set of
new tires all around, both for tho
sake of safety and appearance, and
if the paint is o. k. you'll have a
car that can take its place in any
company.

"My dear George," Julian sighed
reproachfully, "friendship such as

"Your life, Julian?"
"My life?" Julian laughed softly
and stared up at the bed-tester

At last he stirred and had grasped

obeisance with wide-armed flourish

But as they stared thus hesitant.
a horseman appeared, a young and
particularly sharp-looking man, he
frowned at bis two men, he glanced
at Sir Richard, remarking his
shabby attire, the fact that he wore
no sword (that emblem ot rank)
and pounced without more ado.
Hey, you on the bench, hand

Sir Richard curled a lock of the
child's silky hair round bis finger.
You are a Romany, a gypsy, eh.
Shurl?" he questioned.
"A Romany chl, 1 he's," she an

cried the horseman.
"And where," said Sir Richard,
smiling down into the small gypsy's
wistful eyes, "do you live, child?"
"1 lives In the wesh, brother."
"And what Is a 'wesh'?" enquired
Sir Richard, but at this moment the
horseman rode up to them:
"Look 'ee, you, sir, I'm Mr. Bat-

as to snatch the hunting-crop
and leap to his feet, ferocity and

He came with a bound, up swung
