Public DociEty

Editor, The Washington Times:
ISN'T It surprising how the idea
Of docility and supiness is be-
ing lauded and encouraged az a
virtue7
Everywhere about US one hears
earnest people declare that 1t
doesn't pay to complain against
this or that phase Of injustice or
unfairness.
1t matters not whether It's a
protest against the method OF bar
examinations in the District or
against teaching methods In the
primary grades of the Washing
ton public schools. the same spirit
Of fear prevails.
The slogan is, LET George do
It and III reap the benefit Of his
doings."
Conditions and circumstances
cover most honest people into
quiet submission.
Louis Untermeyer reveals an
interesting attitude on this point
In his poem "A Prayer" from
which I quote the following pas.
sage:
Ever in conflict let me be-:
Make me more daring than de.
vout;
From sleek contentment keen me
free,
And I'LL my heart with a buoy,
ant doubt"
