Six Billion Investment.
The National Planning committee,
private agency, most of whose
directors are businessmen, recently
stated that if we make our eco
nomic system work reasonably well
after the war we shall have ma
tional income of at least ITO billion
dollars. The report goes on to re-
late that according to the estimated
figures, we shall spend: Is billion
for foodstuffs as compared with 16
billion before the war; 16 billion for
housing as compared with billion;
seven billion for automobiles as
against four billion; three billion
for recreation as against one and a
half billion; 13 billion for household
operations and equipment as COM
pared with six and a half billion.
"Shall We" asks Mr.. Schlagle,
under such conditions refuse to
increase the two and a half billion
which we have been spending for
schools and colleges: Shall we, with
the highest per capita income of any
nation in all history, use our in
creased wealth to feed, clothe, and
house ourselves in comparative lux
ury, to buy entertainment, airplanes,
automobiles, radios, and refriger-
ators, and neglect to spend any of our
increased income for the educational
improvement of our children? We
can readily afford the five or six bill
lion dollars which genuinely ade-
quate educational program for all
would cost This would be the
wisest investment that American
citizens could make" he contends.
Eric A. Johnston, president,
United States chamber of COM
merce, says the organization ''is
glad to give its support to the OBJ
servance of American Education
Week, 1914. Business recognizes the
relation between education and an
expanding economy. There is no
more important task before US than
the development of the kind of edu-
cational program which will pro-
mote good citizenship and economic
well-being."

the great strides in establishing
system of public education, there are
1919 per cent of our adult population
having only fourth-grade education
or less. Hundreds of thousands Of
men fully qualified in every other
respect have been found by the
Selective Service to have less than

"Bettering Community Life" topic
for the last day of American Edu-
cation Week, underlines the role Of
the school as a community center,
serving adults as well as children,
and acting as force for bringing
the people together so that plans
for improved community life may
be made and developed.
Problems of Future.
American Education Week grew
out of the First World War. 1t was
first observed in 1921. twenty-five
per cent of the men examined in
that draft were illiterate; 20 per cent
were physically unfit; many were
foreign-born and had little under

were startling disclosures. Unfit as
they were for war, these men were
also incapable of serving their coun-
try most effectively in time of peace.
Members of the newly formed
American Legion wished to correct
these conditions. They saw in this
situation an opportunity to serve
their country after the war. When
a campaign of education appeared
to be the only answer they consulted
the other sponsoring organizations
and as a result the first American
Education Week was observed.
"All the new tasks which confront
our society as whole are the ones
with which our schools must deal.
For the schools are of society and
their task is to build society by
developing good citizens" Mr..
Schlagle further points out. LET
us utilize the power of education to

Building Worldwide Brother
hood" topic for Sunday, opening the
weeks program, will be observed in
the churches throughout the nation.
According to Everett R. Clinchy,
National Conference of Christians
and Jews" brotherhood is giving
to others the dignity and rights we
want to keep for ourselves. We need
to make universal brotherhood part
of the learning experience" He
points out that this can be done by
thinking scientifically on questions of
race, religious cultures, and nation
ality differences which divide people
into groups.
Mondays theme, Winning the
War; is reminder of the wartime
job being done by the schools in pre-
induction training, adjustment of
courses to permit pupils to do war;
time work, rationing and registra-
ton programs, conducting scrap and
bond drives, as well as continuing
their regular program of education
for Is million American children.
Improving Schools for Tomor-
row emphasizes the steps needed
for improving American education.
Equalization of educational oppor-
tunity through state and federal aid,
payment of adequate salaries to
teachers, streamlining the admins
trative organization of education in
many areas, and the building of
school programs around real life
problems are among the pressing
needs for better schools in the post
war era.

can be used for the promotion of
peace underlies Wednesdays top

Peace" Proposals for the inter-
national organization following the

agency would be to lift educational

to report for action to the general
international body attempts in any
nation to promote war through edu-
cation.
preparing for the New Tech

nology and science have upon edu-
cation. The need for intelligent man.
agement and the reduction of un-
skilled labor are emphasized. The
ever-increasing need for specializa-
ton on the part of workers calls for
cooperation and mutual helpful
ness. 1.-THE promise of a new world
depends upon technology. To reach
that promise we must develop
through education people capable of
using it," Mr.. Schlagle points out.

quainted with those faithful serv-
ants of the nations children and
youth-the teachers"
In the Presidents message to
patrons, students, and teachers of
American Schools" he asks that
teachers be encouraged in their task
of "cultivating free men fit for a
free world. For these teachers are
the conservators of today's civiliza-
ton and the architects of tomor-
rows world of promised peace and
progress. They serve within the very
citadels of democracy, devotedly
whether in war or in peace.
'When victory on the fields of
battle shall have been achieved, the
work yet to be done through our
schools will be enormous" the
President continues. Il therefore
call upon the teachers of America
to continue without tagging their eff
forts to contribute through the
schools to that final consummation
which alone will make possible of
fulfillment all plans of education for
new tasks"
Realizing that the schools play a
vital role both in the prosecution of
the war and laying the foundations
for the peace, Education for New

when the war is over, our coun-
try will be faced with problem of
readjustment which in many ways
will be as difficult as the problems
of mobilization for the war;" warns
Mr.. Schlagle. Millions of men and
women must be retrained for new
jobs. Boys and girls in schools must
be aided in adjusting to postwar con-
ditions. The war has emphasized the
