GOVERNOR WILL
AID SCHOOLS
Savs Pennsylvania Can Do
Nothing Better Than
Advance Education
Educators and school offlciuls from
every part of Pennsylvania, gathered
in the hall of the House of Repre
sentatives last night for the opening
of the educational conference, cheered
Governor William C. Sproul when he
declared: "What better thing can
Pennsylvania, one of the great self
contained republics of earth, rich
beyond calculation, do than provide
the best school system," in his ad
dress formally beginning a notable
congress for advancement of .edu
cation.
The keynote of the opening ses
sion was better business methods for
the upbuilding of education. J>r.
William I). Lewis, deputy Stale su
perintendent, sounded it when, re
gretting the absence because of ill
ness of Dr. Thomas E. Finegan,
State Superintendent of Public In
struction, he presented Marcus
Aaron, of Pittsburgh, member of the
State Board of Education, as a busi
ness man who was studying tlie
schools. Mr. Aaron, after saying
that a common tongue would be one
of the greatest advantages for this I
cAtintry, urged that steps he taken |
to safeguard the teachers and ihat:
conferences of business men be held t
along the lines of this educational !
congress to discuss the financing of,
the schools and that legislation lie
prepared to correct the conditions j
which had not been wholly helped by j
the enactments of the recent ses- j
sion. lie presented the Governor as|
"an expert business man" who shared <
his time from early manhood with
the public, and then Dr. F. P.
Graves, of the University of Penn
sylvania, introduced a resolution ex
pressing gratification at the Gover
nor's- educational policy and the!
selection of Dr. Finegan. it was
enthusiastically adopted.
The Governor said in opening that)
he was not one who accepted every- |
thing that was decided by the Sage j
Foundation and other agencies, lint'
that he did realize that 1 lie State!
was not up in education as in indus
try and other lines of modern life.
He said that he hoped this congress
would be the forerunner of others,
in which all elements of our ilailv
life would tulte part.
Hie radicals who had been inves-1
♦ igated said he had been found io!
have failed to take into their calcu-1
lations lor disturbance the influence j
of the American public school some-'
thing which lie felt was a great in-j
centive to make it better. Xo radi- •
cal apprehended, he said he had '
been informed, was a public school ■
product.
"If we can get people to realize
bow rich this State is and how little
they have given to education, we I
will be accomplishing a great deal. |
. For a State so rich," said he, "what |
it has given for school is shamefully I
negligible. This State does not levy
any State taxes on real estate or on j
many other lines. There are sources'
of taxation that have not been I
tapped. X'ow I say that as a busi- !
ness man, a manufacturer and a !
Quaker, and it may get me into
trouble. But I have been told by
many men like myself thut they are
willing to help get more State aid.
This Slate has given to the Federal
Government in taxation this year
what it would receive from State
taxation in a generation. It amounts
to about $700,000,000."
The Governor closed by saying that
the principal business of his adminis
tration was going to be to get back
of and help the public school system.
Dr. John Martin Thomas, presi
dent of Middlebury College, Vermont,
was the final speaker of the evening.,
discussing general educational move-'
ments and the importance of Ameri- j
conization and of foundation for i
citizenship.
In the course of his remarks. Dr. j
Thomas said that the war had made!
education a new problem in Amer- I
ica, which has the shortest year, ttie J
shortest day and the shortest hours |
in schooling. The X'ation has been !
more or less wasteful of resources, |
but the war has taught lessons of |
economy and thoroughness, and from j,
now on the educational system must'
be more thorough so as" to obtain
the best results and for what tlic
people pay.
Pennsylvania, said he, has paid
into the war treasury four times the
value of its school properties and
should begin to realize what it lias
and what it must do for the better
ment of its educational facilities and
to care for the stranger within the
gates.
Owing to inability of speaker.* to
get here, the proposed Americani
zation meeting for Tuesday night has
been abandoned, but this topic will
he taken up in every sectional meet
ing and considered in its relation to
the specialized lines. One hundred
per cent American will be the theme.
