Following is the text of the President
proclamation
designating
the
week
of
November
18
as
National Educational
Week,
taken
from ‘‘The Negro World,”’
Oect.
13,
1923.
“‘From its earliest
beginnings
America
has been
devoted
to the cause
of edaca-
tion.
This country
was founded
on
the
ideal
of ministering
to
the
individual.
It was realized
that this mast
b 2 done by
the
institutions of relizion
and
govern-
ment.
In
order that
there
might
be
a
properly educated
clergy and well-trained
civil
magistrates,
one
of
the
first
thoughts
of the early settlers
was
to pro
vide for a college of libaral cuiture, while,
for the general
diffusion
of knowledge,
primary scaools
were
established.
This
course
was
taken
as
the
nccessary
re-
quirement of enligntaned
soc ety.
“*Such
a pelicy,
once
adopted,
has
con-
tinued
to
grow
in
extent.
With
the
adoption of the Federal
Chnstitution
and
the
establishment
of free
governments
in the States
of the
Union there
was
al
litional
reisons
for broadening
thz
op-
portunity
‘or
education.
Our
country
adopted
the principle of selfgovernment
by
a
free
people.
Those
who
were
worthy
of being
free
were
worthy
of
being educated.
The covereign
had
be-
come
the
people.
Schools and
universi-
ties
were
provided
by
th2
various
gov-
ernments
and founded
and
fostered
by
private
charity
until
their
buildings
dotted
all tae land,
““The willingness of the
people
to bear
the
burders
of
maintaining
these
insti-
tutions
and the patriotic
devotion of an
army
of
teachers,
who, in many
case’,
might
h.
2
earned
larger
incomes
In
other
pursuits,
have
made
it
possible
to
accompiish
results
with
which
we
may
well
be gratified.
But
the
task
is
not finished:
it has only been begun.
““We
have observed
the
evidence
of
a
broadening
vision
of
the
whole
educa-
tiona!
system.
This has
included
a
re-
cognition
that
education
must
not
end
with the period of school attendance,
but
must
be
given
every
encouragement
thereafter.
To this end
the night schools
of
the cities,
the
moonlight
schosls
of
the
Southern
Appalachian
counties,
the
ex'ension
work of the
colleges and
uni-
versities,
the
provision
for
teaching
technical,
agricultural
ard
mechanical
arts,
have
marked
out
the
path
(o
a
broader
and
more widely diffused nation-
al culture.
“To
insure
the
permanence
and
con-
tinuing
improvement
of
such
an
educa-
tion policy there
must
be thefullest public
realization
of
its
absolute
necessity.
Every
American
citizen
is entitled
to
a
liberal education.
Without this
there is
no guarantce
for the
permanence
of free
institutions,
no
hope
of
perpetua
ing
self-government.
Despotism
finds
its
chief support
in
ignorance.
Knowiglge
and freedon: go hand
in hard.
“‘ln order that the people
of the nation
may think on
these
things
it is desirabie
