"Cooking such foods as vegetable?
In aluminum cookers is one of the
best methods to use," says Dr. Bun-
desen "since it prevents loss of vita-
mins and minerals." This is probably
related to the fact that a smaL

he says, "and it is evident that this

Mr^ Scoggins presided over tne
meeting and urged all members to

were made to visit new and unen-

and its supplement; in order to in-
sure “our future against, strangula-
tion by taxation” thinks “school op-
erating costs ought to be reduced
by one-half.” It advises “to stop
electing to the various boards of
education hand-picked old’ women of
either sex who have a vanity to
gratify.” It quotes, the worst things
that Dr. Prittchet of the Carnegie
Foundaion, and Dr. Bulef of Colum-
bia University have said in criti-
cism of the public schools. It quotes
from others some of whom claim
that their statements have been
used out of the real setting giving
a different meaning from what was.

It contains references to the
school as “a sink hole” for public
funds, to the principal or superin-
tendent as “the school politician,”
and to the school authorities as
suaqndering public funds under the
advice of “the school politician.” It
belittles the motives, purposes and
work of parent teacher associations.

u Speaking before the Department
of Superintendence of the National
Education Association in Washing-
ton, D. C., on February 25, 1926,
Mr. Hoover declared: “If we were
to suppress our educational system
for a single generation, the equip-
ment would decay, most of our
people would die of starvation; in-
tellectually and spiritually4 we would

In the same- speech Mr. Hoover
said: “I would be one of the last
people in the .world to belittle the
importance of .the exact knowledge
that teachers * impart tq.their pupils
—as an engineer I set’ a high value
upon precise information — but
knowledge, however exact, is secon-
dary to a trained mind and serves
no useful purpose unless it is the
servant of an ambitious mind, a
sound character, and an idealistic
spirit. Social values outrank* eco-
nomic values. Economic gains, even
scientific gains, are worse than use-
less if they accrue to a people un-
fitttd by trained character to use,
and not abuse them.”

children, the nation as a whole has
the obligation of such measures as
•will yield them an equal opportu-
nity at their start of life. This
responsibility and duty is not based
alone upon human aspirations; it
is based also on the necessity to
secure physical, mental, and moral
health, and economic and social
progress by the nation. Every*child
delinquent in body, education, or
character is a charge upon the com-
munity. Children of strong physique,
of sound education and
are the army with which
to progress.”
At St. Louis, during
paign, he said, “There should be no
child. . . who does, not have op-
portunity for education from the
kindergarten to the university,” At
Newark, New Jersey: “If we main-
tain free and universal education. .
our supply of leadership will stream
forward of its own impulse.” In
Elizabethtown, New Jersey: "It is
absolutely esential to the moral de-
velopment and the enlarged oppor-
tunity of the boys and girls in
every home that we increasingly
i .strengthen our public school sys-
tem our institutions of higher
learning.’’ ***•>
Before the Department of Super-
intendence of the National Educa-

C., Mr. Hoover threw to the teach-
ers and school administrate?’^ the’
challenge of a swiftly progressing;

additional bulwarks against every

permitted but a short term of
years in which to infiltrate a mass
of ideas into each succeeding gen-
eration. Therefore our school sys-
tem must utilize its intellectual and
human material to the very best
’ advantage.”
