Why Should a Department of Educa
tion be Established?
A Department of Education, with
a Secretary of Education in the
President's cabinet at its head, should
be established in order tocoordinate
and administer more efficiently the
various educational activities of the
National Gov ernment. The Govern
ment has dealt with the subject of
education along particular lines for
several years, but its activities are
scattered thorughout the several ex
ecutive departments and arlminister
by many unrelated board, bureaus
anc divisions.
The department should bo estab
lished in order to give to education
the recognition which its vital relat
ion to our national welfare demands.
Issues of great importance to the
nation, involving complex education
al problems, are continually dealt
with by the President and Congress
without the ad foeca cm cm cm fcmb
without the advice of a cabinet mem
er whose sole duty it is to consider
such questions from the standpoint of
their relation to public education.
Education is represented by a cabinet
minister in the government of every
other great nation in the world.
Thee should be a Department of
Education to conduct investigations
in the field of education and give to
the states and the people the bene
fits of such research. Illiteracy can
not be removed or the American
ideals established by mere superficial
attempts. We must know the facts
involved in these social problems be
fore we can accomplish their solution
The same is true of all our great edu
cational matters. The National gov
ernment should furnish information
and guidance.
Every valid argument used in be
half of the establishment of the De
partment of Agriculture, the Depart
ment of Commerce, the Department
of Labor, applies with equal fore? in
support of the establishment of a
Department of Education. These de
partment were created in recognia
ion of the importance of the subjects
which they represent in relation to
national welfare. Education is un
questionably as vitally related to the
welfare of your country, and the gov
ernment i-i now dealing with the sub
ject of education more generally than
it dealt with the subjects embraced in
any of these departments when they
were created.
A Department of Education should
be created as a matter of administra
tive efficiency and wise public policy.
