Educators of U. S.
Seeking Scalp of
Commissioner
Train Gunt Upon J. J.
Tigert; Speaker Says Sys
tem Will Topple Unless
Polities Excluded.
4
Des Moines. Ia., July 6. (Special
Telegram.) America's educators, in
session today, were training their
heaviest guns upon J. J. Tigert of
Kentucky, United States commission
er of education, in preparation for
a verbal barrage that would sweep
him out of office.
The opening gun in the fight to
displace the incumbent of the com
rnivioner's office was fired at the
first business session of the represen
tative assembly by Miss Charlotte
O Williams, superintendent of the
-( Shelby county schools and chairman
. of the committee on tenure,
f Vigorously attacking the intrusion
of politics into school matters, she
declared that "unless efficient in
structors are insured against losing
their positions because of political
charge, the entire fabric of our
schools will topple.
Attack on Appointment.
This statement is interpreted as a
direct denouncement of the appoint
ment of Mr. Tigert by the Harding
administration to succeed former
Commissioner P. P. Claxton.
In an address made before the for
mat opening of the convention last
week, the present commissioner tacit
ly admitted that his appointment w?s
entirely a matter of political expe
diency. This admission caused a great furor
among educators tttending the con
vention here and the opposition Tues
day was taking definite form, with
t . IDT 11141 11113 maiii win
be treated in a resolution to be in
troduced by his opponents before the
convention is adjourned.
Opposition to the inclusion of edu
cation as one of the subdivisions
in the proposed department of pub
lic welfare in the federal government,
was- expressed bv Dr. George D.
Strayer of New York, chairman of
the legislative committee of the Na
tional Education association, at to
night's session of its convention.
The legislative committee, Dr.
Strayer reported, insists that if the
department of public welfare is
created, education should be taken
out of it that friends of education
might be permitted to continue their
efforts for an independent depart
ment of education.
Resolution on Taxation.
Lewis B. Avery of Oakland, Cal.,
presented a resolution to the com
mittee on resolutions this afternoon
recommending that the association
affirm ita belief that there exists a
serious need of increased public in
telligence regarding the purpose of
taxation, the levying of and dis
bursement of taxes and regarding
standards of the relative validity of
claims for participation in public
funds. The committee announced
it was make its recommendation to
the convention as a whole Friday.
Mr. Avery's resolution further pe
titioned the association to go on rec
ord favoring the teaching of citizen-:
ship in the public schools.
The convention this afternoon vot
ed to amend several sections of the
association's by-laws. The amend
ments seek to give the individual de
partments within the association
greater liberty in the handling of
their own affairs.
School Funds Too Small
Dr. John J. Tigert, United States
commissioner of education, in speak
ing before the general session to
right said that "while the United
States expends more money for edu
cational purposes than any other na
tion, the amount is too small for the
task of educating our people. He
said there are more than 7,000,000
boys and girls in this country who
' are not enrolled in schools. He
urged that teachers be given better
pay that they might be induced to
continue in the profession, and that
young people might be influenced to
take up teaching.
Dr. Tigert said that the greatest re
sponsibility facing the teaching pro
fession today is to make it possible
for the country boy and girl to have
real possibilities of education. "In
spite of the progress made in con
solidation," he said, "considerably
more than two-thirds of all the
schools in America are still one
room buildings."

85 per cent of the nation's tillers.

46.7; Minnesota, 37.7: Connecticut,
33.7; Washington, 29.8; California,
29.1. and Wisconsin, 28.5.

creased 3.7 per cent during the de
cade. All but a little over 1 per cent
of them were found in the southern
states.

exclusively in the far western states,
