of aid for education from the federal government has stated quite
clearly, -- sometimes, of course, by implication, a belief in the
principle of home rule. This implication is always embodied in the
strong avowal that "federal aid shall not mean federal control".
Whether Federal assistance to the states would or would not mean
federal control is a matter which raises much controversy, but
whether there should be or should not be federal control we
verbally stand quite well together.

I am asked to talk specifically about the problem of protecting
this thing which we nearly all say should be protected.Now the
first dictum, to my way of thinking, which we need to adopt is that
education must be carried on by a unit of government which is
generally recognized as a natural community. Dean Henzlik of
Teachers College of the University of Nebraska, in a recent bulletin
called SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION AND EDUCATION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE
LEADERSHIP IN TOWNS AND VILLAGES, made a statement with an import
which is great. He said: "In the course of 150 years the people
of the United States have evolved a program of public education
which we say is the legal function of the state, but which is
largely community-centered and locally administered in order to
keep the schools close to the people". Now that phrase "in order
to keep the schools close to the people" has a wide range of
implications, because the greatest problem facing educational
administration in America is to set up and so to administer plans
which will keep the people very close to their schools; this means,
of course, to keep them very close to the problem, of financial
support of schools.
