Aside from selling bonds the
above group did fine job in edu-
eating the general public as to
the nature of this war and the adj.
vantages of investing in bonds.
They also explained the part our
boys are playing in this conflict.
The work of this group is very
important because of the large
number of contacts made and the
large number of small bonds sold.
Another feature of the drive was
the sale of bonds through the
booths which was under the sup
ervision of Mrs Doris Hall and the
Chain of Friendship Club" This
club is sponsored by Mrs. Hall
and is made up of a group of teen-
age Jacksonians. Mrs. Hall was
also assisted by Mines. Sue Hair,
Emily Hall, Nellie Williams, Aure-
lila Young, and Lille B. King.
A third feature of the Drive was
the bond auction sponsored by

RIGHT Education InductS
Men Into Full Time Jobs

from college. The program also en-
ables many young men and women oil
superior intellectual ability to secure
college training because of the OPP
portunity they have to earn a con-
siderable part of their college
expenses"
Today our students are what
Dean Schneider called passive"
They should, however, be able to
look forward to an active career not
only after graduating but WHILE
THEY ARE LEARNING.
If, for instance, a pupil is studying
engineering under the cooperative
educational plan he will for several
months in the year work at engineer
ing in field and shop.
Under this system a student
- emerging from college will no
longer ask himself:
.'Where am | going to get a job"
Under the study-and-work sys-
tenn he already has a job. He has
been working at it while studying
for it.
West Point and Annapolis are
ideal examples of the union of theory
and practice.
The young men at these naval and
military colleges not only study the
art of warfare and the uses of instru-
ments used in the military and naval
services but they also PRACTICE,
they MATERIALIZE, what is in
books by solid work.
This should apply to all our educa-
tional institutions.
What a Greater America will call
for in the postwar years is a perfect
union of HEAD and HAND.
Cooperative education, as ex-
pounded by Dean Schneider in the
Rukeyser series of articles in the
Hearst papers, will make this Greater
America a FACT.
1t makes a PRODUCER of almost
every college student. d.

VOLUNTARY COOPERATION
V should be the practical ideal in
all walks of life in the postwar world
of America.
Voluntary cooperation MUST be
our shibboleth if we are to avoid
COMPULSORY COOPERATION,
which is, in fine, nothing but regi-
mented state socialism or communism.
And nowhere will voluntary and
self-initiated cooperation be of
greater value to the material and
mental future of the people of the
United States than in EDUCATION.
This form Of cooperation as out
lined in the series of Sunday articles
in the Hearst papers by Merryle
Stanley Rukeyser, based on the ideas
of the late Dean Schneider Of the
University of Cincinnati engineering
school, is simply this:
That education in our colleges and
schools shall be taken out of the
domain of the abstract and made to
WORK.
THIS, as is already being exempli-
i fled in many colleges throughout
the country, mean the application of
book-learning to actual PRODUC-
TION.
The beneficial effects of this form
Of educational cooperation on
character are clearly eXemplified in
the following declaration by c. V.
Thomas, president of Fem College,
at Cleveland, O.
The combination of classroom
and laboratory experience along via
WORK experience motiyates students,
provides them an OppOrtunity to test
their interests and abilities in various
vOcatiOns. gives them experience in
learning how TO work with pecpie.

The Army Air h O

must prove a highly valuable medium
for impressing wildly upon the peo-
pie the necessity of buying more and
more war bonds.
EOR instance, many of the exhibits
Il may bear price tags, so visitors
may walk along the aisles and see
with their own eyes how much a
bomber costs and how much a fighter
plane and an anti aircraft gun cost.
To this end, Undersecretary of
War Robert Patterson has ordered
that all types of unrestricted army
aircraft be on display at the Army
Air Show.
These planes are not being taken
out of production or diverted from
their ultimate destination. They are
merely stopping over at the Air Show
Ell route from production lines to
fighting fronts.
Their presence is intended not to
delay production, but to spur it.
Otherwise they would not be exhlb-
tied.
Indeed, high army officials and
WPB executives are anxious to rid
the public mind of any false idea that
we can taper off in aircraft produc-
ton.
We shall neod increasing numbers
of bombers ? fighters before the
war is won, in v.ieir opinion.
THE Army Air Show will continue
l. through June 18, long enough for
everybody in this part of the state
to visit it. 1t is not only a parade OF
air power and armament, but a tangl-
BILE display of American determine
ton ~reflecting the numberless hours
of hard labor and skill which have
created the mightiest air armada in
history.
The Detroit Times is confident
the Air Show will inspire sentiments
of active patriotism in all who view it.

the purposes of the show are three
fold.
FIRST-To show the ciUiiIun

accounts or radio recitals, but by
closeup exposition of the real
finished products, just what Detroit
has been contributing to American
air poWer.
SECOND-To giUe Wor WORKERS
a chance to see What they are making
Uhen 1t is complete.
Of the 400, 900 aircraft workers in
this area, many have toiled steadily
on small parts and assemblies and
they have been so busy at their in
dividual jobs that they lever have
had a leisurely opportunity to OBJ
serve the full result of their effort.
It is anticipated the Air Show

pride of achievements and a stimulat-
