From there its cultivation spread from China on the east to the Canaries on the west In the western hemisphere wheat was not known until the Sixteenth century.

Sure Relief FOR INDIGESTION BCUIANS Hot water SureRefief _ LL-ANS *5* AND 7HT5CKA6ES EVDtfWHB* •i&fesr >OHN DICKINSON SHERMAN TH a new bill embodying ratHcal changes, supporters of the movement for the establishment by congress of an executive Department of Education with a cabinet place for Its head hope to obtain favorable action this winter. The new bill will be introduced, according to present plans. In both houses at the opening of the S xty-ninth Congress. Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, majority leader In the senate, and Representative Daniel A. Reed of New York will introduce the bill, it Is stated. The outstanding feature of the. new bill is that It eliminates the $100,000,000 provision for federal aid and asks simply for an annual appropriation of *1,500,000 for the Department of Education. Another important feature is that the bill provides for the transfer of the Federal Board for Vocational Education to the Department of Education as a division; previous bills would have done away with this independent body. " The first change, it is .believed, will answer these opponents of the movement who argue that federal aid appropriations mean federal control. Certainly no power of control over the educational systems of the various states Is vested in the Department of Education, in the intention of Its advocates. Moreover, the temper of the times.is evidently against further extension of federal aid projects. The second change, it is believed, will win over those who were opposed to the abolishment of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. This new bill was unanimously endorsed by the National Education Association at its sixty-third annual meeting at Indianapolis. It provides for the establishment by congress of an executive Department of Education under control of a Secretary of Education to be appointed by the President with the Advice and consent of the senate. This secretary is to be a Cabinet officer with the usual salary, $15,000. The idea in fixing the salary of the assistant secretary at $10,000 is that be is likely to be more pennanent than the secretary and the salary should be large enough to secure an able man. The office of the Commissioner of Education is abolished, as Is logical. The Federal Board for Vocational Education is transferred to the Department of Education; this Board is, of course, separate and distinct from the United States Veterans' Bureau. The provision for a Federal Conference on Education is important; some educational activities of the Federal Government must remain where they are-- examples: War Department and Navy Department. The fields of research desired are specifically named. It will be noted, and there Is provision for distribution of results. The annual appropriation for the Department of Education is $1,500,000; this does away with the $100,000,000 federal-aid provision of (ha last MIL Features of the Mil art as follows: Section S.

Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford, state superintendent - of "public instruction of Colorado, said after tliS N. B. A. meeting: "This measure Is practically my child. While president of the National Education Association in 1918 I appointed Dr. George W. , Sprayer of Teachers' College, Columbia University, as C hairman of the commission on the emergency in education and presented to it the Department , of Education plan. I think this Is a go<»l bill and the wisest step for us to take. Otherwise we should have to stop ^ legislative work altogether, and practically throw away the fruits of seven years' struggle, for we could get no leader In - Congress to introduce our old federal-aid proposal again. I believe the bill has a good chance of going through, as we are in rather a strategK . position." Under the Harding administration the proposal was made for a Department of Education and. Welfare. It failed of popular support, its successor ts the bill for the reorganisation of all the executive departments, which Congress has neg- . lected to date. Tills bill provides for the creation of a Department of Education and Relief, which Is to Include the activities of the Federal Government In the fields of education, health and veteran relief. President Coolldge, It Is known, favors tills reorganisation measure. Whether he will favor the Department of Education as defined In this new bill Is not known. • Now the Nstlonal Education Assodstion and the many other organizations supporting the movement want education and veteran relief kept separate. And they believe in the federal-aid proposition. But the reorganisation bill failed of passage In the last Congress, so they feel ar liberty to work Independently of that measure. Also ths federal-aid proposition was apparently doomed failure. So they are going ahead on the line sf lea at resistance, content to wait for federal aid. - There are some 27 organisations, most of them* with nation-wide membership, supporting the movement for a Department of Education. One la the Religious Education Association. Another is the American Council on Education. The National Education Association is represented through Its field secretary. Miss Charl O. Williams, In the Women's Joint Congressional committee, with headquarters in Washington. The other 21 bodies represented in this commit lee are all women's organizations. They Include powerful organisations like these: -v General Federation of Women's Clubs; its dent, Mrs. John D. Sherman, Is chairman of t*s - Joint Commit tee- .

These organizations have been working for "action by Congress creating a federal Department of Education and providing federal aid to the States for eradication of Illiteracy, for Americanization and for the equalization of educational upporlunities." it is understood that all the organizations mentioned as supporting the movement approve the bill as amended. I)r. Jolin J. Tlgert, United States Commissioner of Education, who delivered an address at tlte National Education Association meeting, said that the new bill would secure the united support of .the'school people of the United State!*. Miss Charl O. Williams reported that she had consulted the Federal Board for Vocational Education and It approve*] the new bill. The American Legion, which is closely affiliated with the National Education Association In manf ways, will take action on the amended bill at its coming nutlonul convention. John W. Mahon, newly elected national commander of the Disabled American Veterans, has given out these alms of his organization : "A supreme effort to have wounded veterans given vocational training. A fight agalust proposed absorption of the Veterans' Bureau In the projected Department of Education and ; Relief. Miss Mary McSklmmon of Brookline, Mass., the newly elected president of the National Education Association, believes that the passage of the new bill Is the outstanding feature of the association's program. "The education hill provides for research in education," she said. "That furnishes the means to the end of educational progress. Higher qualifications for teachers. Increased psrtlclpatlon of teachers in school pol lcies, and all the other progressive movements in the field will be furthered by the creation of federal department." "Efficiency and economy demand that those agencies In the Federal Government dealing with education and now distributed among the several executive departments be brought together under a single executive," said Doctor Strayer, In an address to the National Education Association meeting. "Education so vitally affects every aspect of government that It is essential that this execu five sit st the council table of the nation. *8urely no one who believes In our public school system can object to the development of an adequate fact-finding and fact-distributing agency In the Federal Government. If progress la to be made . in the development of our public school system the experience and successes of every locality and state must be made available for every other part of the country. "The members of the teaching profession are unalterably opposed to the development of anything that might be remptjeiy characterized as bureaucratic control of education, but we recog- ' tiize as Intelligent American citizens the necessity ,jfor more significant scientific Inquiry with respect ^to our objects, our procedures and our efficiency. We know the possibilities that lie In the organization of a Department of Education for Improving ,pnd developing the service represented by the public school system. We believe that the American people will no longer withhold their approval of the creation of a Department of Education." Cuticura for 8ors Hands.
