He likened the Im¬ provements and progress which has steadily been going forward in edu¬ cation as comparable with the Im¬ mense strides achieved In the auto- mo'Dlle Industry In the past decade. The speaker further Illustrated by means of contrast how the advent of Improved roads throughout the countrv caused creat refinements In the building and operation of the automobile with smoother and more comfortable riding qualities and that this same change with a steady forward progress is taking place in ti.e educational field today.

The loss l.s estimated at about $8 000. Neiifhbors who saw the flames ran toward the barn u'.id notified the hired men of the blaze.

He gave figures showing that one third of the popu¬ lation of the country is connected in some way v.ith education and that 2o.OOO,o6o pupils are attending | grade .schools todav. The speaker j also stated that 5.000.000 .scholars are attending high schools throughout ^ the country today as conipared with, about one-fifth of that sum ten years ago. and that todav the higher, educational institutions have a reg-j istration of an even million as com-' pared to about 150.000 ten years ago. He made a sharp contrast by way of illustrating his point by saying that if the good roads were taken awav today the present auto would still be far in advance of the same ve-, hide ten years ago. but if the pres¬ ent school s.vstem were to be remov¬ ed hte change would be at once ap¬ parent in educational progress which would then be at a complete stand¬ still.

When men and women whoso very cxi.itence depends upon daily wages find themselves without steady wor.-;. or without any work at all, it is the duty of tiie State to put forth all its power to find work for them. That, in essence, is one of the oldest prin¬ ciples of the Republican Party. Jobless workers menace prosperity. If they cannot earn they cannot buy. and if they cannot buy tney will soon put others out of jobs. All dinner pails must be full, or soon none of them will be full. That is one of the basic principles of the Roosevelt Republicanism, of which 1 am proud to caU myself a disciple. In jobs as in anything else we can¬ not fall back on the cry "I am not my brother's keeper" without Injur¬ ing ourselves.

He gave figures showing that one third of the popu¬ lation of the country is connected in some way v.ith education and that 2o.OOO,o6o pupils are attending | grade .schools todav. The speaker j also stated that 5.000.000 .scholars are attending high schools throughout ^ the country today as conipared with, about one-fifth of that sum ten years ago. and that todav the higher, educational institutions have a reg-j istration of an even million as com-' pared to about 150.000 ten years ago. He made a sharp contrast by way of illustrating his point by saying that if the good roads were taken awav today the present auto would still be far in advance of the same ve-, hide ten years ago. but if the pres¬ ent school s.vstem were to be remov¬ ed hte change would be at once ap¬ parent in educational progress which would then be at a complete stand¬ still.

When men and women whoso very cxi.itence depends upon daily wages find themselves without steady wor.-;. or without any work at all, it is the duty of tiie State to put forth all its power to find work for them. That, in essence, is one of the oldest prin¬ ciples of the Republican Party. Jobless workers menace prosperity. If they cannot earn they cannot buy. and if they cannot buy tney will soon put others out of jobs. All dinner pails must be full, or soon none of them will be full. That is one of the basic principles of the Roosevelt Republicanism, of which 1 am proud to caU myself a disciple. In jobs as in anything else we can¬ not fall back on the cry "I am not my brother's keeper" without Injur¬ ing ourselves.
