Propaganda for COllectiv. ist Form of Government
 Floods U. s. Schools

Penetration of the public schools by a vast, carefully planned system for indoctrinating children in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades with propaganda for Q collectivist form of government, and for teach- ing the young generation, to repudi- ate traditional American concepts, is charged by the Guardians of American Education, Inc, in a com- prehensive, documented expose just published under the title, under mining Our Republic"
 The revolutionary plan, says the report, was laid by a group of radi- cal educators calling themselves "Frontier Thinkers, and is imple- Hnented through social science text books, pupils workboolvs, and teach.

 The Rugg social science textbooks have recently been attacked as sub- versive by number of national and local organizations, and the Guar dians of American Education state that as Q result they have been dropped by school boards in several scores of communities, from Yer. mont to California.
 The newly published analysis of Professor Rugg's books cites some seventy excerpts to demonstrate the "Rugg technique of iadoctranation." !" The report says that in ''scores" of passages in these bookes, "The American way of life Is subtly iin. dermined, disparaged or openly at-
