The Schools Convert for War
Teachers of America Face Task of Training
Future Soldiers for Fighting
Ry
By Robert.C. Harper.

Schools of America have a war con-
version task without parallel in the Ma
tons history.
Facing the 100000 teachers of 30,-
100000 students is the job of preparing
tomorrow's soldiers, technically and
physically, for total war against the Axis.
What lies ahead is unremitting toll
as educators-America' molders for VIC
tory-prepare the minds and hands of
youth for participation in our struggle
for survival.
It is staggering task, this necessity OF
gearing peacetime teaching standards
into instruments for war. but the teach
ing profession, in the words of Com
missioner Of Eduaction John w. Stude-
baker, will pull their share of the load
up the steep incline to victory"
Not only must teachers provide pre-
induction training to future warriors;
they almost must assume more active
role on the home organizing SAL
wage drives by pupils, assisting civilian de-
fense, stressing the dangers of imitation,
and bending every effort 10 a supreme
objective-the winning of the war.
This means abandonment for the du-
ration of cherished educational concepts
and curricula. Child and adult think
ing are to be directed toward survival of
democratic principles.
War Preparation Stressed.
Beginning this month, boys in high
school are going to become better ac-
quainted with refinements of math-
ematics and physics An army of teach
ers have been told straight from the
shoulder by Army and Navy leaders
that it is more important now for boy
to operate tank, pilot a plane and be
tough in body, than to be able to recite
Tennyson, Shakespeare or Chaucer.
Girls will be girls, but in wartime they
can and will be prepared for duties as
nurses, farm, and war industry workers,
machine operators, dieticians, Office
workers and other essential tasks.
In the District of Columbia, for ex-

high schools and three colored senior
high schools are to be offered expanded
programs in pre-aviation training during
the ninth-month school term. This
process will be repeated throughout the
Nation based on pattern outlined by
the Commission on Wartime Education
1t is not something new, for it was given
to students during the February June
semester. But it is being stepped up
to meet wartime demands, at the in
sistent urging of the armed services.
The conversion of education for peace
to education for war goes against the
academic grain of a peace loving democ-
racy, but fact No. / among wars brutal
facts is that wars are won by fighting
men trained in the art of mechanical
and specialized warfare.
Must Be Tough and Alert.
1t is no secret that the Army Air
Forces and naval aviation, prudently
preparing for a long war, regard junior
and senior high school students-some
3,500,000 of them--as their biggest reser-
voir of military manpower. 1t is the
fervent hope of the Army and Navy that
these youths will not be needed.
The armed services want young men

Brig. Gen. James DOolittle Former Nome Hi Student Glass l9O6-O7

Tough stocky, sentiment al James Harold Doolittle, Sc.D., man of culture and scrappy legend of U. s. av- iation, received a present from the White House last month. The present: the star of a Brigadier General in the U. s. Army Air Fore es. To Jimmy Doolittle, one-time crack amateur boxer who turned his back on a fat job in commercial aviation to get a shot at the Jap, this came at an appropriate time: within the week of the bombing of Tokyo.
 He deserved it. Aeronau tical engineer, nervelesS experimenter in anything aeronautical, Doolittle had contributed as much as any, more than most, to- the advancement of com mercial and military fly ing. AS a professional sol dier he was the first to take off, fly and land by instru- ments. He set distance re- cords, tested wings, engin- es, anything. He once flew across the Andes, his legs in plaster casts, to demon strate a U. s. plane.
 Doolitle was not merely the ace of aces in sky stunt ing. He was not only air minded; he had an air mind. He alone dissented from the Baker Board find ings in 1894 when other committee members Scoff- ed at a separate air force.
 In 1930 Doolittle quit speed flying in the Army, went to work for Shell Pe- troleum Corp. In July 1940' he heard the drone of war planes, pulled on his har- ness again and went back to the Air Corps. Gle had been a major in the Reser- ve during the decade. ) He needed the Allison engine plant for production, got results. He studied manu- featuring techniques toI boost plane output. Once he took time off to pin new ly won wings on the uni form of Jimmy Jr., at a :, Texas training field.
 n t h e excitement" said Sentimentalist Doo- little later, q forgot to re- turn my sons salute. I felt like a heel ,
 Editors Note:-ThiS same James Harold Doolittle is one of Nome's former high school students of 1906-07. Among those attending school at that time, and who are still permanent residents of Nome are: Mrs Edith Weaver, Guy Boyd, Cappy McDougal and Bud Lehman.

Sponsor of Move for
Temporary Suspension
Cites War Effort

The Manor Park Citizens Associa
ton voted last night to recess TO,

called sessions at the discretion OF
the president.
In offering the resolution for the
organization temporary suspension
John D. Smoot cited the many de-
fense organizations which now con-
fiict with the citizen group, and
pointed to the need for conserving
heat and electricity in public build
ings used for the groups sessions.
Mr.. Sn1oot said the duties citizens
are now being called upon to per-
form in connection with defense
activities are making it more and
more difficult to get more than a
handful to attend association meet
ings.
Plan Brings Protest.
In opposition to Mr.. Smoot' S resolu-
ton, w. H. Seaquist. a past presi-
dent. said there is greater need in
time of emergency than ever before
for the work of citizens organiza-
ton, and urged that the group re-
main active.
There will be many problems
which will not come under the iuris-
diction of various defense groups" :"
he said, land it should be our duty
to remain active In order to care for
these problems and to discuss ways
of better cooperating in the war
effort
Discussing the scrap salvage drive
In the Manor Park section. T. w.
Buckley. treasurer, protested the sale
of salvaged metal and rubber to junk
dealers, declaring that the profits
of these middle men from scrap
donated by citizens should be curbed.
Mr.. Buckley urged that the asso-
citation advocate the establishment
of junk yards near railroads and
the training by the Army of men
to dismantle and assort the scrap
material for reclaiming.
Present System Defended.
Mr.. Seaouist said that only
through years of experience could
men become proficient in separat-
ing junk and added that the profits
of junk dealers are small in COM
parison to some profits being made
in defense industries.

Standing knocking on life's door,
It's time you started to unlocking,
Do unlock it friend, before
He turns and walks away, Gen. 3:6
For that's just what He'll do some

You better hear me what 1 say
For then you'll never hear Him
knock there any more.
In His loving heart there's pity,
Because He's been and built city,
