Debate on Sterling-Towner Bill Held at Meeting of Local Chamber of Commerce
An open forum discussion of the Sterling-Tower education bill that has been introduced in congress was released on Thursday. The Chamber of Commerce today.
The discussion was led by R. A. Kent, dean of education, who presented the minority report on the status of the budget administration, who gave the majority report of the summary report of the committee of education of the national Chamber of Commerce. The committee responded with a vote on the bill, the results of which will be sent to the national Chamber of Commerce in order that they can get the opinion of the commercial organizations of the country on the issue.
Department Heads in Debate
The Chamber of Commerce held this debate because they feel that they have competent men to handle the question, and men who are interested in it. The number of the bill was mailed to a number of the heads of departments on the Hill, who took part in the debate.
The Sterling-Tower bill was investigated by a committee appointed from the national Chamber of Commerce who reported their conclusions on the bill. Their arguments for and against the bill are presented in the summary report on which the minority report emphasized the minority report opposition to the bill, and the minority made a favorable report on the bill.
Three Questions Up for Vote
The questions on which the Chamber of Commerce voted are: Do you favor the creation of a Federal Department of Education with a Secretary in the president's Cabinet? Do you favor enlarging the present Federal Bureau of Education? Do you favor the creation of federal aid in the states on the basis of the states appropriating sums equal to those given by the federal government?
V
The Sterling-Tower bill proposes the creation of a Department of Education with a Secretary in the Cabinet; and authorizes the appointment of an administrator, up to 10,000, or such an amount as congress may deem necessary, to be paid to the states for: the removal of illiteracy; Americanization; cognitively educational opportunities; the promotion of educational education; and the preparation of teachers.
Bill Aims to Promote Education
The bill aims to increase the effective operation of its educational activities by unifying them under a Secretary of Education; and to give federal aid to states to promote education and to remedy deficits in the educational system of the country.
The main questions put up are whether or not the states shall be responsible for the public schools of the country, or whether the state and national government shall share the support of the school system; and the creation of the new cabinet position for the Department of Education.
Borah Asks Italy To Act
Senator Wants World Economics Conference Called
Rome, Jan. 29 (United Press)—Premier Mussolini has virtually been invited by Senator Borah to call a national economic conference. Before deciding what action to take Mussolini is awaiting the reaction of France, Great Britain and Belgium to Borah's proposal.
The invitation came in the form of a statement given out at Washington, commenting on the urgent need for a strong leader in the present international problems, and declaring that public opinion would rally in support of a movement for a world economic conference. Munson would take the initiative.
"There is a widespread, strong public sentiment in this country favoring an economic conference," said Senator Borch, "but I am of the opinion that our government feels the initiators would come from a European power.
"If a statesman of Mussolini's force and compelling leadership should lead in such a movement, I venture the opinion the step would be backed in a marked degree by the people of the United States and all countries. Public opinion would force the governments to act, and stay, if possible, the disastrous consequences now impending."
"The Farmer's Daughter" Wins Short Story Prize

The scene of "The Tanner's Daughter" is laid in a tannery at Bay View, Michigan, and the plot centers the affairs of a tanner and his young daughter. The story is realistic and abounds in local color.
Ever-Growing Army Of Students Crowds American Colleges
Same Material Equipment Use Before War Still Provides for Students
To illustrate an article by Henry T. Claus entitled "Growing Army of Students Crowds American Colleges," which first appeared in the Boston Transcript, the Kansas City Times uses a picture of the Administration Building with the following caption: "New Administration Buildings are the ever increasing army of students at the University of Kansas."
In Mr. Claus's article there is no mention of the University of Kansas but the conditions he points out as existing at other universities and schools of every description exists at the University of Kansas.
He points out that to all intents and purposes the same material is used for both requirements for the student bodies of 1914 is providing accommodations for the student bodies of 1922, and the result of course, is unprecedented conces-
Eighty-three colleges have a combined registration this year of 245,590, an increase over last year of 6.5 per cent. He shows today, in enrollment, been leading for several years, growing in enrollment and accommodations as the cities of their location are growing. Leading the city of California is the University of California, 14,061; New York University, 11,131; and on down through
several more to Harvard, 6,344.
The result of so much congestion is that boys and girls are being kept from going to the college of their choice. This is shown by Mr. Claus in naming colleges such as Dartmouth, Princeton, and the 1,300 applicants for the 550 places in next year's freshman class and other colleges such as Vassar, Princeton, Swarthmore, where great difficulty is being experienced in keeping the student bodies within the time frame by the available accommodations.
To meet the congestion many colleges have raised the entrance requirements, or increased the amount of fees that students to enter the specialized schools.
