CITES INDIANA'S INTERESTINU.S. AID TO SCHOOLS

Ww. Rowland Allen Stresses Higher Standards Will Protect Hoosiers.

Although Hoosier children have excellent educational facilities, Indiana has a vital interest in recommendations for increased Federal school grants, submitted to Congress yesterday by President Roosevelt. ‘That is the opinion of W. Rowland Allen, L, S. Ayres & Co. personnel director, who was the only Indiana member of the President's Advisory Committee on Education which prepared the report. The report recommended increasing Federal school grants to states from the present 50 million dollars to 70 millions in 1939, with annual increases up to 199 millions by 1944.

. Education Aid Sought

President Roosevelt asked the inrcrease to correct “glaring inequalities” and “bring education out of the doldrums.” “Indiana and other states,” Mr. Allen said, in commenting on his committee’s report, “face a change in the level of culture in the next two decades for two reasons. “One is the migration of adult jobseekers from states offering inadequate educational facilities. The other is the fact that the backward states have high birth rates, while in Indiana and other states with good educational systems, the birth rate constantly is falling. “Something must be done to raise the educational and cultural level in the backward states, as protection for the more progressive states.”

Migration Cited

- The committee’s investigation revealed, Mr. Allen said, that almost | half the young people of the backward states, upon reaching maturity, | migrate to northern states in search | of employment. He said the committee was unanimous in recognizing that Federal control of curriculum - must be obviated. “We feel there must never be any centralization of curriculum,” he said. “Otherwise we would have what is developing in Europe, and that's not demoracy. Local autonomy must be protected.” Every one of the six major provisions in President Roosevelt's recommendations for $70,000,000 Federal aid for schools in 1939 will benefit Indiana, declared State School Superintendent Floyd I. McMurray. : He said next week he will confer with J. W. Studebaker, U. S. Commissioner of Education, at a National Education Association meeting at Atlantic City and ask full details on the President's recommendations.

the plan to improve the administration of state departments of education,” Mr. McMurray said, “and to extend library service and enlarge

the field of adult education which

has long been neglected.” ; “In recent years many new build-

- lings have been secured with aid of

the Federal Government, but some communities have been unable to replace their buildings. The President’s proposal no doubt will offer opportunities to rehabilitate or replace these structures.”

REFORESTATION IN STATE IS PUSHED

A total of 5780. acres of Hoosier farm land will have been, classified

as forest land by March 1, Virgil M.

Simmons, Department of Conservation Commissioner, announced today. The classification is being made under a land classification law enacted in 1921 which is designed to encourage reforestation and timber production throughout the state. In return for a low tax rate, the

landowner, under the law, agrees to make forestry plantings as may be required.

YOUNG BEER THIEF WINS CLEMENCY PLEA
