Universal Education Cool

DR.. William F. Russell, dean of the Teachers
College at Columbia University, and one of the out
standing educators in the country, spoke to q meeting
of the American Legion at Endicott, New York, last
and the other foreign isms coming into America via
foreign elements.
DR.. Russell pronounced a universal truth when he
said the only way to fight an idea, meaning Communism,
was to fight it with another idea. And the other idea
and better idea he believes is proper education. We
quote:
"It is most fortunate for us that most of our chill
dren nave a chance to go to school. It is fortunate for
us that most of them can finish the high school course.
Let us make very sure that these boys and girls have a
chance for a good education for modern times, espe-
cially in the controversial and difficult fields of gov
eminent and social life. 1t does not make much aiticI-
ence to me as an American what sort of Latin and
Spelling or Algebra they study, but | do hope that they
will learn what democracy is and why we have it;
what life was like when our ancestors hved under t.
ranny, and what life must be like today in Russia and
Germany, in Spain, Japan and Italy; what these liber-
ties are that we prize; what these rights are that we
must maintain; and what our corresponding duties must
be. Let these boys and girls hear of the theories of
social improvement. Let them know what Communism
and Fascism think they are. Let them go right down
to the bottom, knowledge is power.
3You of the Legion recognize the enemy. How shall
we beat himY Relieve poverty and distress. Stand
up for the rights of Meeting and Assembly and Free
dom of Speech, particularly when you do not agree.
Support the schools and foster in every way the study
of history, government and social life. Above all, sup
port a liberal education, an education for men, not dogs,
that we may enter and live in a world of ideas, of beauty
of thought. This should be the American program.
1t will cause the most of discomfort to our enemies; it
will do the most to perpetuate and preserve the form
of government and the kind of life which the Fathers of
our Country willed to us and to which they were conf
dent we would give our last full measure of devotion"

Concerning New School


On this pare will be found an unbiased report OF
two reliable architects in jackson regarding the pres
ent school building of Durant.
There have been many rumors concerning the 81
,or;dated structure which has served the school chill
dran for the past thirty-nine years. Many mothers nave
been actually worried about the safety OF their cnhureh
in school.
A careful reading of this report will show the evi-
dent need for a new school building in Durant put u
will also relieve the worry, perhaps, OF many moohers
in this town.
Citizens Of Durant have already voted a bond issue
n take care of S55, 900 construction costs OF a new
building and pettianed the PWA for a federal gram
Of S45. 900 to care for the remainder.
The project has been approved by both regionai
and Washington offices of the PWA.
All that remains is the ALLEGATION of funds.
Now we are told the money has run out, that MIS-
sissippi's share of government money is well nigh ex-
hausted because roads and bridges nave apsoroeu prae-
tically all Of the last grant made.
It is almost a certainty that a new appropriation
will be made when Congress convenes In January.
Every citizen of Durant earnestly solicHs the con.
tinued support of our congressman to get addltonai
appropriations or whatever is necessary 10 secure the
approval of the school building in Durant and other
sissippi.
It is neither right nor fair that larger towns in Mis-
sissippi gobble up all the funds and the small ones lett
holding the bag.
Constituents in smaller towns should have the same
treatment accorded them as their town cousins.
We believe our Congressman will realize this and
make a big fight for Mississippi securing a fairer share
of Federal monies to be spent by the new Congress-
