In predicting that education in

State Superintendent of Public In-
struction, said today that every
country-wide panic or depression in
the past hundred years had witnes-
sed one or more outstanding im-
provement to Pennsylvania’s public
school program.
Present indications, he said, are
that from this period of economic
stress there may come an equali-
zation of educational opportunity
for boys and girls of the rural dis-
tricts which might be made possible
through equalization of assessments
and a plan for further decentraliza-
tion of administration growing out
of activities of the special Commis-

Smith said. “These highways were
not possible with the money derived
from general taxation. The first
method of raising money to build
them was by taxing the owner and

the revenues derived were not large
enough to take care of the building
