adults can learn anything they
really want or need to know, with
in whatever limits of intelligence
and special abilities they possess,
writes DR., MacLean, adding that
grown-ups should and must con.
tinue their education beyond the
period of formal schooling, in or
der to understand and deal with
the swiftly changing and complex
problems Of the present day world.
He cites the radio, movies, and
current magazines and books as
convenient media for such eduea-
ton, suggests wider use OF
community forums and the extern
sion divisions OF universities, and
outlines the role Of parent-teach-
er associations, which, he says,
have a special responsibility in the
education of adults.
at is the particular job Of the
PTA to see to it that school boards
superintendent, principals, teach
, ers and parents build the right
kind of public and private schools
the right kind of training pro-
grams in those schools, and the
right kind of attitudes all around
to teach our boys and girls and
young men and women to make
living in America as it develops
and changes from year to year.
Thousands of new jobs have
been created in the past thirty
years, and yet, by and large, the
country over, in high school and
college the courses have remained
pretty much the same; particularly
is this true Of the high school.
"Parent teacher associations
have a tremendous task ahead to
keep abreast of what society needs
in the way of trained workers ana
to keep the schools constantly
lert and changing to meet the
worlds demands"
Other areas in which DR.. Mac
lean sees the PTA as having par
ticular educational responsibility
are: parent education and educa-
ton for home and family life, the
understanding and development OF
personality, and community ser
vice.

and the country owes them a debt
of gratitude. Although they have
produced much this year, the ma
ton will require even more OF
them during the year that is now
before us. In full realization of
the many difficulties affecting
farm production during wartime,
the people of this nation rely
on the zeal, devotion and unstint-
ing efforts of farmers to do their
part toward ultimate victory.
GOOD is no less a weapon than
tanks, guns, and planes. AS the
power of our enemies decreases,
the importance of the food re-
sources of the United Nations in
creases. With this thought in
mind, we must further mobilize
our resources for the production
of food"
In the Mobilization Day broad
cast, speakers will urge the far
mers to attain the production goals
for the year. Farm groups, colored
and white, gathered in various
communities throughout the agri-
cultural area to- discuss the part
they can play in reaching the goal
will turn on their radios to hear
these speakers. Following Mobili-
cation Day an intensive campaign
will be launched to get farmers to
sign-up or agree to produce their
share of the vital foods and fibers
needed for the war effort.
Despite rhe shortage OF farm
machinery, labor, fertilizer, and
insecticides it is believed that
agricultural production in 1943 will
be sufficiently high to meet our
wartime needs. In view of the
