When Hardiug was in office, he r>.ceii ed from five to seven sacks of mail a d ty. Most of these were letters of pra so, petitions or suggestions. The mail clerks spent a busy day. Now the White House incoming mail averages about a half a sack a day. a litt e more than the outgoing mail. Few let these letters are from unknown sources; even cranks seem to avoid writing their troubles to the President. Several reasons have been advanced for this decline in mail. The most seasI iblc is that Presld' nt Coolidge has nevI or made any appeal to the “fan" type ! am’ never answers the letters of those wlri praise him by mail. Further, era ok i have been discouraged by the activity of the Department of Justice officials. President Coolidge has never shown the curiosity toward the daily menage of letters shown by former Presidents. Harding would often call for a stack of letters selected at random and amuse himself by reading their contents. Wilson often rummaged through the mail and answered a great many letters personally. lie considered these letters reliable indicators of the reaction of the people, Bui gifts from admirers continue to flow into the White House in an unabitcd stream, although practically all prcients are non being sent by mannf;r luring and jobbing concerns The latest gift Is a newly invented pants presser. Other recent gifts Include a washing machine, a gilden cal>iuct phonograph and a weight-pulling apparatus. (> 7 FOR RENT Beautiful guburban home. Modern in every detail.

> National Education ' Meets In Washington Dy Joseph 8. Wusney, (United Press Staff Correspondent > Washington, Feb. 29. — (United. Fress.l —Specialists in education. 10.090 strong, gathered here yesterday for the National Education Associat tion five-day conference to discuss t improving school and college currlcu- : luma. ■I To improve educational facilities and to teach the public to support schools iu order to give every Amer-1 lean girl and boy a fair start in life are the principal objects of the conI vention. .' Taxes versus children is the big > issue confronting the delegates. Edu- ’ caters are contending that youth of today and future generations cannot he given a fair start in lite until the country is willing to tax the nation's weaith and income for the education of the nation's children. Colleges and schools are hard pressed to care for the oncoming tide > of students and in many sections 1 schools have to operate on part time J baais because there is not sufficient j seating space to care for children seeking education, delegates pointed out. A resolution urging rural schools I, to adopt courses in co-operative . maiketing will be considered by the conference. Frank O. Ixiwden. form- ; er governor of Illinois, will address the delegates on this subject, urging that such a course is essential to the agriculture interests of the country. Two days will lie used by the delegates for sectional meetings. Sunday c a pilgrimage will be made tb the c tomb of the Unknown Soldier in c ’Arlington National Cemetery, followc 'ed by Vesper service in Memorial c Continental Hall.
