School Children Cheated
Charges October Coronet

In an article in this months
Coronet, "Stop Cheating Your
Children" by Charles Harris, it is
stated, 1.-THE American education
al system of which we have long
been so proud is sagging bad
ly -" To support this contention,
a note appended to the article
quotes Ralph Mcdonald, execu-
tive secretary of the Department
of Higher Education, National
Education Association, as saying,
1T is reported that Russia in her
economic poverty spends the
equivalent of $4,000, 100000 or
twenty percent Of her national
income for education. We, in our
enormous wealth, spend less than
$4,000, 900, 900, or less than two
percent Of our income. on educa-
ton"
These statements are typical Of
the fashionable credo to decry
anything American and to uphold
anything that is foreign. The fact
that the American educational
system is democratic, available to
everyone is c o m pletely over
looked, as is the fact that q stu
dent may choose the school he
prefers, the courses he viii study,
and believe what he wants to be-
lieve. He is not indoctrinated, he
is taught.
There is no logical comparison
between the educational budget
Of Russia and the United States.
The former il in the process Of
building up an educational sys-
TEN that will extend over an area
covering approximately one-sixth
Of the globe and . population Of

America Is an institution Of long
and honored standing. Il Il being
maintained and added to, but the
groundwork was done years ago.

Brush I'm Nan

Textile specialists suggest special
care In brushing up the nap or fluffy
surface Of cotton chenille spreads
and wool blankets. The nap on
chenille spreads may be huffed by
shaking them occasionally as they
dry on the line and rubbing briskly
with the hand or soft brush. Give
them final rub after they are dry.
To raise the nap on wool blankets,
however. a clean. stiff whisk broom
Is recommended, but the brushing
must be done after the blanket Is
thoroughly dry.

Housing Proposal

Housing remains among the chief
shortages throughout the country
North Carolina is no exception. 1t has
remained for the Raleigh Times to pro-
pose an expedient, if not cure. The
paper has solicited relief from Secre-
tary of the Navy Forrestal and the
North Carolina Warehousemen's Asso-
citation, the one for the use OF idle
ships. the other for unoccupied ware
houses.
The idea is to have some of the idle
naval and marine ships moored in the
James river made available along the
eastern shore where they might be
docked or anchored in inland water
ways where unhoused persons in that
region could find refuge in them. Also,
the Times points out, there are we'll
built, securely rooted tobacco ware
houses all across the state. They might
be turned over to eager tenants.
Quoting briefly from the Times:
"At the larger cities like Whining
ton, Morehead City, Edenton, Eliza
beth City, New Bern, Plymouth and
Washington, many of the discarded
Liberty ships, too slow for present
traffic requirements, could be docked
or anchored and fitted out as fairly
comfortable living quarters for fam
lilies of both veterans and civilians.
Then, too, there are barges like those
General Eisenhower sent overland to
cross the Rhine, which "could be park
ed in the Neuse river near Raleigh, as
we'll as at Smithfield, Goldsboro and
Kinston, or on the Tar at Louisburg,
Tarboro and Greenville."
Such Accommodations naturally are
crude and inadequate, but as the Times
adds, "the situation is urgent, and peo-
pie are becoming desperate" for living
places.
The proposal is so simple it is sur
prising that it was not advanced long
ago.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-02-22

ing that something more important than
an assistants post for him was under
consideration.
AS sometimes happens, the man IN
the street was right.
For, while Mr.. Gardner is to be MIR.
WILSON'S under-secretary, he will in all
probability serve most of the time as
acting Treasurer, because Mr.. Vinson's
duties in connection with the world bank
will keep him out of the capital much
of the time.
There appears to be no doubt that the
Senate will confirm his nomination
promptly. Thus North Carolina will have
a favored citizen "above the salt" at the
official table.
