Democracy Becomes Part Of
School Curriculum

The school system in this country has gone long way
since the days Of the rawboned fosszed schoomaser who
ruled with stern counenance and hickory stick. Now
adays the pupils have almost much to say about the
running of the classroom the teachers themsevesn
some things, at least
For most normal small fry school will be quite
much fun sandot baseball hopscoch But education in
the lower grades lot easier to take these days than it
30 40 years ago. More important, youngsters in
public schools are getting rough idea of what democracy
The word is beginning to more to them than
just something they find in their history books.
To find how far democracy in education has gone,
the Educational Policies Committee of the American Educa
tion Association is conducting survey among public
schools in the United States The results of this study will
be used to advance still further the teaching of democracy
in practical. comprehensive way
There was time not long ago. when the schools total
contribution toward building patriotic citizens to teach
youngsters the American creed the StarSpanged Banner
and the Pledge to the Flag If that didn't make good Amer
out of them, it generally conceded there wasn't
much hope
1t has been only with the introduction of streamned
educational systems that children given shot at this
thing called democracy They were permitted to organize
clubs elect their officers frame their rules OF
conduct Safety cadets elected and finally student
councils formed These councils when they prop
ery set up give elementary and high school students about
as generous part the management of the school as can
be safely given without having the pupils vote themselves
permanent vacation.
The Education Associations committee, after it has
completed its research, will select few representative
schools and will experiment with progressive
ideas in the matter of student democracy.
These youngsters, unlike their forbears are going to
grow up with the idea that democracy means more than
Just casting vote for president every four years They
are getting used to having voice in the affairs about
them that they won't be able to get rid of the habit when
they become fu-fledged citizens. They are learning not
only the meaning of democracy but of Communism ana
Fascism as wel-and how to tell all of them apart
Flag-waving isn't enough and rectng the Americans
Greed doesn't necessarily make good citizen But getting

PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

he fears it will be political sui
eide for him to oppose these COM
binations that thwart the nat
ural laws of distribution. and
stifle production. Their efforts
to raise the farmers incomes by
artificial methods have failed.
Even If they were successful in
raising the price of products.
the people in the cities would
soon cry for higher wages to
meet the rise in the cost of liv-
ing. and again the farmers would
soon be as far behind in pur-
chasing power.
We are in this plight because
the people have been led to be-
lieve that they can get possess
sion of more goods by forcing the
price of their labor and goods
up, even though the total pro-
duction per capita is reduced.
AS long as people put their faith
in labor unions, tariff walls, price
fixing, and what have you, and
resist the natural laws of dis
tribution there is no hope for
the farmers, the unemployed, and
the aged. It all seems foolish
when you learn that 1t is only
more production that raises liv-
ing standards of the people as
whole.
