BY
UNITED STATES SENATOR
Recently this column commented
on the effort under way to provide
Federal assistance for enlarging edu
cational opportunities, particularly in
rural areas. Since that time an in
teresting address on the subject has
been made by Senator Thomas of
Utah. Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee to which the proposed legisla
tion was referred.
The following portion of the Sena
tor's address deserves attention of all
interested in education:
"The purpose of the bill is to give
Federal aid for education on a basis
nf nd. As I have stated before,
then? is no reason in the United
atatM nf America ever to have to
justify governmental aid for educa
tion. Our public-school system is
part of the fundamentals which go in
to making our democracy. The
theory of education as it relates to
the Nation is also
wil.RtAbli8hed. The basic thought
in relation to the theory of education
ir America. 18 that it should be local
ly controlled. The educational theory
which dominates American thought
today revolves around the home, the
public school, the private school, and
the church-controlled school. Each
one of these contributing factors to
the education of our boys and girls
must be and will be protected in its
individual sphere, because our smw
a to it that the distribu-
tion of funds which the Federal Gov
ernment donates to the States wm
administered, decided upon,
in accordance with State action
two or.v fear which anyone may
have 'about a Federal control of the
system of education is, of course a
baseless fear, because there is no one
in the United States who would like
to see education dominated from any
single center in our country.
"A bill which subdues the Federal
Government as an administrator of
education, yet requires and permit!
the Federal Government to guarantee
to the States an abundance of educa
tion, cannot help but be a landmai
in our national life, as we contem
plate States with varying degrees or
literacy and even more varying
shades of opportunity, and with not
one of them offering what might be
termed a full, reasonable opportunity
t n.iinn nf child and adult.
Under the bill the educational need is
first determined by setting up certain
general standards which are deemed
essential for the proper training of
a boy and a girl. The financial abil
ity to meet this standard is next de
termined, and if a State should be
fortunate enough to be able to meet
the standard, then such State is
deemed not in need of Federal aid.
But any State which is discovered to
be lacking in the essential education
al ability, and in the financial ability
to meet that essential, is deemed m
need of Federal aid.
"The bill specifically does four
things: First, it makes grants to
States for elementary and high
schools. These grants embrace ap
propriations beginning July 1, 1939,
and increasing each year through
June 30, 1945, which may be used as
the States direct for general educa
tional purposes. Further, the bill
authorizes an appropriation for im
proved teacher preparation under
State plans and for the construction
and imDrovement of school buildings.
"Th second major feature of the
hill nertains to grants for adult edu
cation, beginning with an initial ap
nrnnriation of $5,000,000. The third
feature relates to rural library ser
vice, with an initial annual appro
priation of $2,000,000. As in all
other features, the standard plan will
be set by the States themselves.
"The fourth title deals with re
search and planning, with an initial
appropriation of $1,250,000 while the
remainder of the substitute looas al
ter children of Federal employees on
reservations and at foreign stations,
and with aid for our territories. '
"Thus we see that the habits and
customs, and the theories and the
way in which education has developed
in the United States will be continued,
and the plan will be locally adminis
tered, but the aid which is so vitally
necessary in many parts of our coun
try will be forthcoming. However,
the Federal grant of money will be
made only when it is equally and
pronerly distributed and when the
need is proved and "Justified in ac
cordance with a scientifically worked
out formula for the determination of
that need.
"If this great education aim be
comes a fact and a law In the United
States we will have done for educa-
, tion something quite as big, quit as
great, and quite as fundamental as
we did when we established and set
up -the land-grant institutions.;! If,
too this bill results in a law which
