'MARY MORRISON ON
THE STERLING-TOWNER
BILL—A REPLY
single prominent educator who is
against this hill.
Before quoting from the bill proof
against Mary's contentions, let me
refer Mary and hei sympathizers to
an illustration near home. The
schools of Alaska, our school in
Skagway. and probably Mary's
school in Anchorage, receives terri
torial money to aid in carrying it
on. We have a territorial superin
tendent of education. Mr. Lester
Henderson. .Since his inauguration
he has had genert.1 supervision of
the schools in the territory. He has
advocated and urged certain gener
al provisions to make the schools of
the territory uniform in their meth
ods. books and courses of slud.v.
This has been generally helpful, and
is considered in the line of progress.
Much more can be expected in the
future under his wise leadership.
Has he hired any tcachers? Has he
imposed on any local school board
unfit teachers or favorites of his? Is
not our local board free if it choos
es to change courses, etc? Champ
Clark's "nigger in the woodpile"
bugaboo was urged against the es
tablishment of our territorial edu
cational bill, but the actual opera
tion of t!>e provisions of that meas
ure is unquestionably and almost
universally acknowledged to be ex
cellent.
The provisions of the Sterling
Towner bill provids a cabinet dig
nity to education on a par with com
merce, foreign relations, labor, etc.
One secretary ic the President's
cabinet who will coordinate the var
ious elements in our more or less
loose educational program. We now
have a governmental bureau of edu
cation, this bureau will be taken
over by the new department, and the
officers of that bureau will be offic
ers in the department of education.
See Sections 3 and 4.
Section 5 reads: 'That it shall be
the duly of the department of edu
cation to conduct studies and inves
tigations iu the lleld of education
and report thereon. Research shall
he undertaken in fA) illiteracy; (B)
immigrant education. (C) public
school education, and especially rur
al education; (D) physical educa
tion. includ ng hea'.th education, re
creation and sanitation; (E) prepar
ation and supply of competent teach
ers for the public schools; and (Fl
In such other fields as, in thj judge
ment of the secretary of education,
may require attention and study."
Section 7 provides for an appro
priation of $100,000,000 to "en
courage the states it the promotion
and support of education."
Section S provides that three for
tieths of the S100.000.000 shall be
, used for instructions of illiterates
of ten years and over. This shall
be apportioned to t ie states accord
ing to their illiterate population.
Section 9 provides the same pro
portion of that fund for the Amer
canization of immigrants.
Section 10 provides that one-hall'
of the $100,000,00ft shall be appor
tioned to the states to encourage
them to improve their educational
opportunities. It is to he used for
"public, elementaly and secondary
schools for partial payment of teach
ers' salaries, for providing better In
struction and extending school
terms," etc., etc. This section also
provides the following: "In order
for a state to share in this fund, the
state must establish and maintain
the following requirements: (A) a
legal school term of at least 24
weeks In each year for the benefit
of all children of school age in such i
state; (B) a compulsory school at
tendance law requiring all children
I between the ages of seven and four
teen to attend SOME school for at
! least 24 weeks in each year; (C) a
I law requiring that !he English lan
| guage shall be the basic language
! of instruction in the common school
brances in all schools, PUBLIC and
j PRIVATE."
That there is created no educa
i tional tyrany operated from Wash
ington is clearly demonstrated by
Section 13, paragraph 3, which
reads: "A state may accept the pro
visions of any one or more of the
respective apportlo' ments authoriz
ed in sections 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of
this act, and may defer the accep
tance of any one jr more of said
apportionments; provided however, i

that no money shall be apportioned
to any state from any fund provid
ed in sections S, 9, 10, Hand 12 of
this act unless a turn equally as
large shall be provided by said state
or local authorities, or by both for
the same purpose."
Section 14 provides a simple re
futation of all Mary's specious pleas
if she had only taken the trouble
to read it carefully. L quote the
salient provisions:
"Provided, that this act shall not
be construed to require UNIFORMI
TY OF PLANS, MKANS, or METH
ODS in the several states to secure
the benefits herein provided, except
as specifically stated herein; and
provided further, that all the educa
tional facilities encouraged by the
provisions of this act and accepted
by a state shall be ORGANIZED, SU
PERVISED and ADMINISTERED
EXCLUSIVELY by the legally con
stituted STATE and LOCAL EDU
CATIONAL AUTHORITIES of said
state, and the secretary of educa
tion shall exercise NO AUTHORITY
In relation thereto except as herein
provided to insure that all funds ap
portioned to said state shall be us
ed for the purposes for which they
are appropriated, and in accordance
with the provisions of this act ac
cepted by said state."
Reread that provision again and
ask yourself if any reasonably In
telligent person can get Mary's
ideas out of it. The bill is simply
and wholly an attempt to reduce the
growing illiteracy in our land, a con
dition which the war emphasized
and which our nation cannot with
justice to itself permit to continue.
There iB no restriction on private,
religious or other schools in the act,
and any attempt to construe it as
such is an attempt to misinterpret
the simple and wholesome provi
sions of the act.
A petition with ten million names
was presented to President Harding
in behalf of this bill. That petition
was endorsed by the Presidents of
the National Educational Associa
tion National Committee for Depart
ment of Education, American Fed
eration of Labor, American Council
on Education, American Library As
sociation, National Federation of
Musical Clubs, General Federation
of Women's Clubs, Society of Daugh
ters of American Revolution, Con
gress of Mothers, Parent-Teachers'
Association, Council of Jewish Wo
men, etc., etc.
