for all that along with voluntary action you need this
other action.
Just one word to my very good fr.iend. Dr. Wins-
low, who I just think is tops, and that is: It may well
be that this holds out a promise that cannot be fulfilled,
but I say to you as one who studied school laws in
Maryland and developed a lot of them that in 1867 there was
some who rose in this very hall, this building, and said
that you are holding out the hopes for public education
for large masses of people, the kind of hopes that will
never materialize; and those of you who know how hard
we have worked in education to make this dream become a
reality know that it would never have been possible, had no:
the hopes been held out.
We have nothing to lose by this, and a whole
lot to gain. We give a good deal of endorsement to what
the General Assembly has done, and this will give
them a little push which they themselves want.
Thank you.
THE CHAIRMAN: Does any other delegate desire
to speak?
