theme is Education for Victory"
Education For Victory
DR.. G. R. Miller, superintendent
of schools, explains the theme as
follows: Victory on all battle
fronts-no less-is our goal. We
are making an all-out effort to win
the war. We have no room for
slackers. We are paying dearly in
blood, sweat, and tears. We are
spending hundreds of billions of
dollars. But there is no alterna-
tive to the war except slavery. In
this effort, the schools have con-
verted their programs to the needs
of the armed forces, of industry,
and of government. Five million
workers have been trained for war
jobs. Preinduction and physical
fitness programs have been devel-
oped. Scrap and bond drives and
scores of other activities have been
sponsord. Teachers have given
millions of hours to registration
and rationing services. Most i'm
Iportant of all, the schools have car
ried on with their regular program
of developing 27,OOO,OOO boys and
girls into strong, loyal, intelligent,
freedom-loving men and women.
An enduring victory in the peace
must also be our goal. We must
make an all-out effort to win the
peace. There is no alternative save
more wars, more violence, more
human misery. We must develop
"a sense of responsibility for world
order. We must achieve mutual
confidence and understanding with
other nations through the applica-
tion of the Golden Rule. These are
the tasks of education"
