The biggest story in Washing.
ton this week concerns "the little
red school house"
President Franklin Roosevelt said
at the White House, I'VE should
hang our heads in shame" because
our rural school children have not
had equal educations opportuni-
ties. The draft was an eye-open-
er. Too many American boys were
turned down for mental reasons.
Nothing could put more emphasis
on the little red school house"
problem than the President paus-
ing in the middle OF a war-and
the middle OF political campaign
to say something must be done"
The gap between educational
standards in richer communities
and in poorer areas is far greater
today than 1t was 100 years ago,
the President said at this confer
ence. called by the National Educa-
tionai Association.
The Presidents own answer 10
equalizing educational opportuni-
ties is-federal aid where needed.
Not in HIDE Park, but in poor
areas surrounding his other home
in Georgia.
All OF this brings up, Of course,
RECOMMENDATION Of our education
al system. For years, the House
committee on education has fear
ed that federal aid without federal
control was impossible.

bring forth committee action when
Congress reconvenes. Hearings on

Recently the newspapers of this

the action taken by some individuals
who have caused it so much publicity

We feel that the Political Action
Committee has merely advised and
pointed out the records of various
candidates running for election of Of
