Description:Excerpt from The National Crisis in Education; An Appeal to the People: Report of the Proceedings of the National Citizens Conference on Education Called by the United States Commissioner of Education, and Held at the Washington Hotel, Washington, D. C. May 19, 20, 21, 1920 In our democracy we have always set high value on education and more and more on the public schools. The public school is, indeed, the most distinctive agency of our democracy. We have always understood, and now more and more understand, that "in a democracy all things wait on education." Fifty years ago we spent for elementary and secondary education seventy-five millions of dollars. This year we are spending a little more than seven hundred and fifty millions - more than 10 times as much: - an increase of practically 1,000 percent in a period of 50 years, in which the population has increased only about threefold. Twenty-five years ago we spent for higher education $17,500,000; we are spending this year approximately $140,000,000. Only 20 years ago we spent about $4,000,000 for the support of normal schools for the professional preparation of teachers; this year we are spending approximately $25,000,000. Growing Appreciation of the Value of Education. These facts indicate the growing faith of the American people in education. It has been our glory. We have liked to boast that we make our people intelligent enough that we can commit to the hands of the people the destinies of the country and the public welfare, in which the private weal is bound up.
