In Memoriam

In memory of our dear uncle
Tommy Duley, who departed from
us two years ago, September 81.
When the evenings shadows fall
And we are sitting alone
In our hearts comes such longing
If uncle Tommy could just come
home.
Gone but not forgotten.
Your little nieces,
Gloria Jean Hines and
Bonnie Lee Nicholson.
In memory of our dear son and
brother, Thomas Duley, who passed
away two years ago, September 81.
1t was in the month of September
When our greatest sorrow fell
Only those who have had such
shocks
Are the only one who can tell.
What would we give to clasp your
hand
Your precious face to touch
To hear your voice and see your
smile
That meant so much for us.
Gone but not forgotten.
Your loving family,
Father, Mother, SSisters
and Brother. 1761.

is important to comment. He quite
fairly emphasized that the acceptance
of the report would carry with it new
and big obligation, both financial and
military (and I think administrative
also) and he asked for American CO.
operation in carrying them out.
In my own opinion, he is fully entitled
to do so. It is inequitable to add to
the heavy burder which Great Britain
must carry in Palestine-at least until
the terms of the mandate are reviewed
by the United Nations-on the basis
upon which the responsibility and cost
are Britain's and the advice and criti-
cism are Americas. 1t will not be easy
to implement the report in the face of
strong Arab opposition.
There will be a big strike. There
may be much more than a strike. 1t is
only fair that the Arabs should see
clearly that behind the new regime
suggested by the report there is not
only the full weight of British influence
but the full weight of American inf1u-
ence also

though finance is important. 1t is not
only question of American engineers
to help in planning a IVA for Pal
estine. It is not only question of
help from American administrators in
shaping high policy and applying it on
the spot at every level. from the daily
work of the police to the executive
adviser in the staff of the high COM
missioner. 1t is also question of troops
I think myself that even token forces
of American troops like brigade would
be important. But if the military bur-
den were shared by the two nations
until the new regime had become a
settled part of the Middle Eastern
landscape, in equal proportions, the
effect would be decisive.
This is one of those critical moments
when America ought to move from
the plane of deep feelings to responsible
thinking.

Inadequate appropriations for text
books, visual and auditory aids, school
libraries, and other necessary instruc-
tional material, equipment and facilities
will prevent satisfactory progress toward
this goal. Neither can the program be
carried forward In dark dismal, unat-
tractive, instanitary and unsafe school
buildings with little or no space for
recreation and organized outdoor &C
tivities The educator cannot provide
these essentials. They are the response
bility of the same public which has most
at stake in the determination of the
kind of product which the schools will
produce.
For the teaching profession, too the
standard is high. We will need con-
stantly to reevaluate processes, curricula
and methods to be sure that they are
attuned to the ever-changing needs of
society and to the ever-present varia-
tions in the abilities, aptitudes and inter-
ests of children. Just as industry is
interested in the functioning of its prod
uct, so We in education must be sure that
our product, the youth of America, is
equipped to FUNCTION satisfactorily in
this complex society of ours.
Health Record Disturbing.
The war has called attention to sew
eral phases of education which need
strong re-emphasis. The health record
Of American youth as revealed by the
records of selective service is most
disturbing. Four and one-half mil
lion 4Fs, piled up at the rate Of
$4,000 month, is a shocking record
which should arouse the entire Nation
and particularly the teaching profess
sion to a determination that some
thing must be done about it. We had
this same warning at the end of the
First World War Had we profited by the
experience then, the same startling
facts would not be before us now. The
schools cannot do the entire job. The
general public and community public
health services have much to do to
meet this basic need In the schools,
however, there must be greatly ex-
panded program of health education
and physical development. This should
begin early in the school life of every
child and continue throughout his
school experience if in this phase Of
life American youth is to be literate.
The war has demonstrated and mod
ern life requires that every one should
possess some degree Of manual dexterity.
The complexity of modern machines
and the industrial age makes it i'm
perative that prospective workers in in
dustry and business acquire a high de-

ago, failure to meet this test would
be- grave stain on its honor.
Cabinet ministers of the highest rank
are bound to this pledge. The measure
of their sincerity will be judged by
the way they handle this recommended
ton. Here think one must be quite
frank. There is no possible doubt about
its intentions; it called for their trans
portation to Palestine without any more
delay than organization makes in
evitable.
Attlee's Stand Unclear.
II is not, alas, clear that Prime
Minister Clement Attlee, If his state
ment in the House of Commons is his
final word, has accepted the recon-
mendatien in this spirit. He has said
that the report may be read as a whole.
He has, therefore, made the entrance
OF hundred thousand Jewish refugees
dependent upon three conditions. The
Jewish Agency must resume collabora-
ton with the Palestine administration.
1t must give all aid in disarming the
Jewish secret army" the Hagana. It
must cooperate in ending the ugly
terrorism of the Stern group.
When these three conditions are full
filled, the British government will turn
to carry out the recommendation of
the commission about Jewish refugees.
I deeply regret that Mr.. Attlee has set
conditions for the fulfillment of this
pledge. 1t is quite obvious that Mr..
Attlee is making the future OF these
hapless and homeless refugees depend
ent upon the decisions of a body they
cannot control. e..
He, in fact, would hold the refugees
as hostages for the good conduct, as the
British commander in chief judges this
conduct, of the Palestinian Jews. do
not speak without knowledge when I
say that all issues between the Jewish
Agency and the British government
could have been freely discussed and, I
think, honorably settled if there had
been fortnight and magnanimous

Bv Harold J. Laski,

Chairman of the Executive OF the British
Labor Party.
LONDON-If the report of the Anglo
American Commission is fulfilled in the
same spirit as that in which it has
been written it may end that ugly and
bitter period in the history of Palestine.
No doubt it is mediating report. 1t
cannot satisfy the Arabs who had
hoped to see present proportions
stabilized for all times and it cannot
satisfy the Jews who had hoped to
establish their case for Jewish state.
But it will impress the reader who is
anxious that justice be done between
the two contending parties that a
genuinely honest attempt has been
made to tackle a complicated problem
with honesty and courage.
The final point on which all attention
will be fixed is the pivotal recommends
ton that a hundred thousand Jewish
refugees now in camps for displaced
persons should have access as rapidly
as possible to Palestine. The commits
sion has seen their agony at first hand.
It insists that they have nowhere else
to go. It makes it clear that their
claim to home in Palestine is un-
answerable. Let us be quite clear that
this recommendation is a crucial test
of the bona fides of the British govern
ment in relation to the future of the
Jews. 1t is an unconditional recon-
mendation.
1t stands quite apart from the rest
of the report. 1t is based on considera-
tions of mercy and justice that no
government, and especially no Labor
government, can possibly neglect. In
the light of long years of quite specific
pledges about Palestine, quite spe-
cifically on behalf of a unanimous
executive committee just before the
general elections and Endorsed equally
unanimously by the annual conference
Of the Labor party at Blackpool year

acceptance of the obligation to do what
Is unanimously recommended
Mr.. Attlee's statement shatters-I
hope only temporarily-the hope of q
new climate of action. 1t makes COM
pletely indefinite what was previously
definite. If Mr. Attlee does not know,
even If the Colonial Office does not
know, that the Jewish Agency, first,
has no atom Of influence on the Stern
group and, second, if he could not con-
ceivably have persuaded the Jews in
Palestine to give up their arms without
a specific pledge by the British gov
ernment to facilitate the swift entry
of the hundred thousand into Palestine,
the administration in that country
could have told him that this was, in
fact, the case.
Chance to Rebuild.
In the light of the White Paper in
1939-abrogation of which the COM
mission indirectly but effectively recon-
mends-every one knows that Jewish
trust in the good will of the British
officials in Palestine is at low ebb.
Mr.. Attlee had-he still has-a supreme
chance to rebuild that trust. But there
is no better way to destroy it and no
better way to convince the refugees
that they have no hope than to ap-
proach this pivotal recommendation as
Mr.. Attlee has done.
This was one issue that called for
the great gesture, the generous heart
and the imaginative mind. I can see
how instantly David Lloyd George or
Winston Churchill would have answered
the call. hope that Mr.. Attlee and
his colleagues will think second time
before they decide to break in pieces
a hundred thousand people who have
lived for long and grim years in the
valley Of the shadow of death.
I hope they will remember what
Edmund Burke meant when he said
that great empires and little minds 60

ure profitably. The development of hob
bies. cultural appreciations and recrea-
tional interests is increasingly impor-
tant, and education's part therein is
imperative.
Thoroughness Vital Quality.
A quality which is very necessary for
the satisfactory functioning of our future
citizens and which needs added en-
phasis Is thoroughneSs. The war we
have just fought was not a war of ap-
proximations. 1t was based upon pre-
cision maneuvers The same degree of
thoroughness and accuracy which was
required in wartime activities will be
needed as we reconstruct for peace.
Thoroughness, as never before, should
now characterize the work in the
schools. This means of course, that
extensive adjustments must be made
to the differing abilities of children.
We cannot expect all children in any
group to be equally thorough in per-
forming the same tasks at the same
time. For some the training must be
repeated in subsequent grades because
some children develop more slowly than
Others But the vital consideration is
that we must continue our efforts
throughout all levels of education, so
that those basic Skills and knowledges
which are recognized as essential to
successful living may finally be mastered
with thoroughness by every youth.
1t is impossible within the limits of a
single statement to comment on all the
phases of education which need special
emphasis at this time. Attention Is
called, however, to one more character
istic which at this time is more i'm
portant than all the rest. As the world
grows smaller and smaller, as people
In the most remote sections become
our next door neighbors, we must learn
to live together in harmony and with
sympathetic understanding of each
others problems. The boys and girls
now in school will not know the re-
moteness of time and distance. In
their lives everything, all people, all
problems will be immediate and at hand
1t is most vital that students be trained
to function satisfactorily and that they
realize fully the privilege and oblga-
ton of good citizenship and co-opera-
ton in our expanding neighborhood
The very nature of our evolving
society is being determined now to a
large degree by the type of training
which youth is receiving. In all of
our postwar developments all Americans
should realize that people constitute
our richest asset. If the public and the
teaching profession accepts the chal-
lenge of the true function of education,
the result will be the social, economic,
and spiritual literacy which is essential

not gone far enough. Valuable
ng has been provided for some
types of work, but there has been
no training for many kinds of
business and industry that in the
aggregate provide extensive en-
ployment opportunities.
It must be admitted that in this
important phase of education
Washington schools have not kept
pace with many other school sys-
TENS. Now with the establish
ment of our vocational schools as
vocational high schools our op-
portunity to sdevelop this i'm
portant service is increased. A
widely expanded program of vo-
cational education is accepted as
a national need for the future,
and in this program, not only
must the skills be developed, but
emphasis must be placed upon the
right attitudes toward work, and
a pride in good craftsmanship
must be developed in youth.
The trend of the times indicates
that there will be increasing leis-
ure time available to the Ameri-
can people. Unless their leisure
is to result in disaster for many
people individuals must be pro-
vided with experiences in school
