But to the States was left. without interference by the National Government. the creation of the detailed plans and the mode of the use of the funds. and no interference with State educational work by the National Government has followed the contribution from national resources. I have shown that national aid for the public schools now is needed. I have shown the startling figures with reference to illiteracy existing today. The bill was planned to coordinate this entire work. to remove illiteracy. and to Americanize all immigrant residents of foreign birth. One of the objections urged against the bill has been that some of the richer States would contribute to the fand. through national taxation. more than they received from national contribution. The same argunent could be applied to any city contributing to thefund of State taxation for the State schools.
