Education In Need
Of Federal Aid
Recently the President- of the
Pnlted States lit a press conference
directed attention to the fact that, out
of 2,000,000 men who have recently
been examined for the aelectlve service,
100,000 have heen rejected , because
they do not have a fourth-grade
education The President did not propose
a plan for remedying this con
dition, but Indicated he has In mind
the making of a proposal.
He said education Is primarily a
stale and local problem, but that there
are sections of the country with such
low tax revenue they cannot support
modern schools. He said the nation
may have to come eventually to some
form of federal aid to education In the
poorest of these areas, that a formula
may be worked out for giving federal
assistance to the educational systems
of the poorest states. The south has
had a disproportionately high share of
the educational rejections.
'4')iIs last statement is especially significant.
It fits in with what wo have
often heard: The educational systems
of southern states rank low In comparison
with other states. Are all
southern schools of low quality or
merely some of thorn? Are the educational
deficiencies of the south duo
to lack of effort by the southern
states, or to their unwillingness to
support schools, or to the lack of economic
ability to pay the requisite costs
of adequate schools?
The most convincing evidence that
there are wide and indefensible differences
in educational opportunity in
the southern states as a whole is
found when compared to states in
other parts of the nation. It is evident
also that^ the educational differences
within' the individual states of
the south are appalling. It does not
appear that any system of state nnd
local taxation in the southern states
can eradicate these inequalities.
For several reasons, a moderate
amount of federal assistance to the
states for the support of public education
is necessary. The abilities of the
several states to pay for public schools
are very unequal, the least ability being
found in the south. Almost without
exception, the states with the least
per capita wealth, income and taxpavIng
ability have the largest number of
children in proportion to adult population.
tho relative number of children
in the south being 57 per cent greater
than in the 12 richest states. In general,
the southern states make the
greatest financial effort to have good
schools, and have the least money to
pay for therh. Furthermore. tho'Tbatlonal
character of business and Industry,
and the concentration in a few
placeB of ownership, control and taxpaying
ability based on resources
scattered throughout the nation, make
federal assistance to the states for
education more and more necessary.
It is an obligation of the federal
government to promote the national
welfare, which is inseparable from the
support of public education. Education
reduces crime, raises the standard
of cuture, is essential to longer life
and better health, Increases the
wealth and Income of the people, and
Is Indispensable to the national defense.
