ial in the current NEA Journal and certainly that necessitates an intelligent and competent grasp of the fundamentals and ideals Of the American way of life.
 Consequently, training for citi- zenship has been made the main spring of modern education.
 Every course in the up to date elementary school and the high school is slanted toward that goal Education in 1943 strives to give each individual an essential under standing of the pertinent problems of today on his own grade level The accent Is on functional learn ing rather than an abstract smat- tering of book learning"
 Covering the text. passing tests, securing high marks or be- ing promoted to the next grades all take a back seat, while learning to live and act ereditably as a respon- sible, law abiding citizen has be- come paramount. To function in- telligently as an American citizen the individual must have a full understanding of the privileges and obligations Of citizenship. We learn by doing is a maxim as old as education. Thus 1t becomes i'm peratiYe that the schools of today be miniature democracies and the educational personnel be examples of useful citizenry.
 Physical we'll being and healthy. normal outlook on life are as much a part of good citizenship as are broad mindedness, tolerance and a genuine regard for the well fare of ones fellow men. These. the progressive schools of today strive to teach by precept, example and participation.
 Radio, photography. pre-flight training, aeronautics and even Commando tactics are being rapidly incorporated into high school schedules Intensive summer school training for instructors in these fields are now available in the Pac- fife Northwest.
 War training in the elementary schools takes on a psychological rather than the practical aspect assumed by the high school. Many currieulor reyisions are suggested by NEA to make elementary pro- grams significant in terms of the present emergency and closely ar ticulate it with the victory pro gram of the high school. Increased emphasis on reality is urged and the development of a sense of re- sponsibility is an important high light of the program.
 Straightforward discussion fl current problems on children's lev- els Of understanding is recommend ed as the most effective way of se- curing and maintaining a heaIthyI emotional balance. Self confidence must be preserved and ingenuity and self reliance developed.
 The new trend calls for increased attention to the essentials of de-, mocracy in practice as well as con- cept. Upon the children of today will fall the burden of reconstruc- tion in a post war world.
 And so, traditional procedures in education are gone. They are as extinct as the dodo. Education is in new stage-as new, as stream lined and as efficient as a 1943I Flying Fortress over Berlin.

those who employ so few that ex-
tension of their hours would not

Labor Plans Battle
On Hobbs Legislation
AGAINST Racketeerinq
Unions Claim Proposed
Law Would Restrict
Peaceful Activities
BY tie Associated Press.


The first round in the first labor
fight of the 18th Congress comes
up before the House Rules Com
mittee tomorrow when it starts
public hearings on the Hobbs anti
racketeering' bill.
Opposed by organized labor as a
move to deprive it of peacetime
gains and the right to strike, the
bill is an outgrowth of a Supreme
Court decision in a New York case
involving alleged interference with
truckers by members of local
union.
The Government prosecuted the
union and 26 individuals under the
1884 i-Racketeering Act, claim
ing they interfered with interstate
commerce by forcing, or attempting
to force, truck operators to employ
union helpers while in New York
City. The Supreme Court upheld
Circuit Court of Appeals judg-
ment reversing convictions obtained
under the 1884 act.
The Hobbs bill. introduced in the
last Congress by Representative
Hobbs. Democrat, of Alabama and
reintroduced this year, would leave
no doubt, the House Judiciary Com
mittee contended in approving it,
of the legality OF prosecution under
the 1884 act.
1t re-oefneS the definition of
robbery" and "extortion" to bring
within their legal meaning the tax
ing or obtaining of money or per-
sonal property from another by
means of actual Or threatened force,
or violence, or fear of injury"
There must be agreement" the
committee said, that those persons
who have been impeding interstate
commerce and levying tribute from
free-born American citizens engaged
in interstate commerce shall not be
permitted to continue such prac-
tices"
Nowhere in the bill is mention
made of labor or labor organiza tions,
and Representative Hobbs has in
sisted the measure is not aimed al
labor as such.
Labor spokesmen told the Judi
ciaty Committee, however, that it
would prevent peaceful activities of
unions and make liable to 20 years
imprisonment and $4,000 fine
every member of a union which en-
gagged in picketing or other legal
moves to gain labor objectives.
