Mr. Proffitt said that public education was founded upon the belief that every child should be given an education and that the schools should be non sectarian. The speaker did not feel that public schools and private schools were in competition and felt that both fulfilled needs. The speaker pointed out that public schools alloted their teach e rerecording to the demands by st€c^pts for certain subjects; there for^; courses are taught which are the most in demand.

During all of our stay m 1 Norway we slept under eider down blankets each night and un der as thick ones in Sweden— Those eider down blankets in Ntor way which they use in place of sheets are from two to four inches thick so you feel you are sleeping under a feather bed, as well as on one.
