FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 30, 1923 ■MI WEEK DECLABEO A SUCCESS Program Stimulated National In terest in Better School Ad vantages, Says Promoter WASHINGTON, November 30. Reports made to the National Edu cation association from all over the country show that national educa tion week, which closed last Sat urday, was a great success. It is felt that a great impetus was giv en the national education program through the exercises held ir every IB state in furtherance. el school and educational needs. The emphasis during education week this year,” said Mis sOlive M. Jones, president of the associa tion, was thrown, not upon any particular phase of the school prob dem, such as the rural schools, or the needs of the immigrants, but upon the general relation between the school and American citizen ship. We wanted to bring out the connection between the school child of today and the citizen of tomor row. rhe way the child is edu cated has a good deal to do with the behavior of the citizen—the way he votes and his economic val ue to the community.” Speaking of the tax problem, Miss Jones said: One thing the public must be made to realize to put an end to this effort to reduce school appropria tion is that present standards, eith er for teachers’ salaries or for gen eral conduct of education, are not ■' up to the level of other phases of cur national life. The standard of living alllowed by present salaries j‘ ow the so-called national stan dard for the other occupations.
