VIsitors arocordially Invited touinspectour plant (Editor's Note: Primarily for the benefit of the teachers attending the Summer session, The Wolverine will publish excerpts from speeches deliv- ered before the National Education association, now in convention at Mil- waukee. Following are parts of ad- dresses given yesterday and today.) "We have long been committed in the United States to the principle of universal free pubne ecucation. That we have not yet realized the ideal em- bodied in this principal is a matter of common knowledge."But few Amer- icaps realize how far short we have fallen," declared George D. Strayer, professor of educational administra- tion Teachers college Columbia uni- versity, New York, in his speech on "Readjusting Education to the Chang- ing Needs of Democracy." "The army tests indicated 20 per cent of illiter- acy among our adult population. One man out of every three were found to be physically unfit for general military service. Hundreds of thousands of foreigners who live among us have no opportunity for that kind of educa- tion which would enable them to un- derstand our government nor have they had provided for them the in- struction which might lead to an un- derstanding of our ideals. Only those children who live in the more favored communities have an adequate educa tional opportunity. "Millions of Americans, boys and girls, are being taught during a six months school term by boy and girl teachers who have less than a high school education. The great mojority of our children receive no education beyond 14 years of age. It is a mat- ter of common knowledge that ideals and purpose which govern in life are commonly developed after 14 and we know that the intellectual maturity re- quired to understanid the principles underlying our republican form of gov- ernment is not developed before that age. "The future of our American democ- racy depends upon a recognition of the necessity of developing the United States a system of public education: (1) which will remove illiteracy, (2) which will provide for the Americani- zation of every foreigner who would continue to live among us, (3) which will include a program of physical ed- ucation and health service, providing for every boy and girl an opportunity for normal physical growth and de- velopment, (4) which will guarantee sufficient support for public education to make possible a well equipped school in which a properly trained and adequately paid teacher will teach for a minimum of 180 days in the year, (5) which will make compulsory edu- cation to 18 years of age on full time, - for boys, and girls until 16 years of age, and on part time, in daylight hours, on the employer's time, for those who work between 16 and 18 years of age. "The responsibility for educating our fellow citizens with respect to the short-comings of our school system and of enlisting their support in the development of a program of education which will make good the promises of our democracy, rests upon our profes- sion. "We may not hope to meet our re- sponsibility except as we organize our profession in such a way as to make effective in our states and in the na- tion our demand for the development of our public school system. "There is immediate need for the re- organization of the National Educa- tional association to the end that every local group of teachers may feel their responsibility for the schools of the state and of the.nation and in or- der that the national association may be able to accept responsibility and to offer expert service in the solution of state and local educational problems. "It is possible to bring to pass an or- ganization of the 7,000,000 teachers, su- pervisors, and administrators of our schools which will serve as a,power- ful force in bringing to the attention of every true American, the needs of our public school system, and which will stimulate every member of our profession to renewed endeavor in the public service. This reorganized N. E. A. will be a working organization. "At the annual meetings, the repre- sentatives from every state and lo- cality will meet for the consideration of current discussion. As a result of the deliberations of this representative professional group- of men and women, there will be adopted a program for the development of our school which will challenge the attention and com- mand the respect of every intelligent citizen."
