One on Censor

One Of the few joys left to a news
paper correspondent in one Of the
foreign cities where censorship still
prevails is trying to beat the censor.
One of the most amusing beats Of
this kind was scored by Drew Mid
dleton writing from Moscow for the
New York Times.
Perhaps it fooled many American
readers, too. II reads:
"lya Ehrenburg, writing in lives
tia, continued his long series of arti-
cles on the United States, a group
Of articles which for depth and un-
derstanding are superior to anything
written on these lines since the
works Of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.
The dispatch was passed by the
censor who didn't know that Dodg-
son was the real name Of Lewis
Carroll who wrote, Alice in Won
derland," some of the most delight.
ful nonsense ever penned.
/ do not know whether Ehren-
burg's articles as published in Mos
COW differed from those which he
published in the United States, but
| must say that some of them re-
flected life in America as truly as
the scene at the Mad Hatters tea
party followed the pattern of an
ordinary tea party in England. You
remember that there was a table
set under a tree in front of the
house and the March Hare and the
Halter were having tea at it; a
Dormouse was asleep and the 9TH
er two were using him as a cushion,
resting their elbows on it and talk.
ing over its head.
Very uncomfortable for the Dor.
mouse" thought Alice; "only it's
asleep, | suppose it doesn't mind"
The Halter was the first to break
the silence. What day of the
month is it?" he said. turning to
Alice. He had taken his watch out
of his pocket and was looking at il
uneasily. shaking it every now and
then and putting il TO his ear.
Alice considered a little and said
THE Fourth"
Two days wrong!" sighed the
Halter. II told you butter wouldn't
suit the works" angrily looking at
the March Hare
1T was the best of butter" the
March Hare meekly replied.
Although Middleton's comparison
between DodgSon and Ehrenburg
was probably well-chosen. | doubt
il the censor would have passed the
comment had he ever read Alice
in Wonderland

Cheat Pupils Out
OF Proper Education

Meanwhile, as Charles Harris
says in the previously quoted Coro-
net article, I'VE are cheating our
boys and girls Of their right to the
kind Of an education they desire"
by permitting this teacher short.
age which has closed more than z. GOO
class rooms and over-expanded
classes so that individual attention
to pupils has virtually vanished
Many vital subjects have been
dropped
The worst phase OF the situation is

the number of emergency certifi.
Gates" issued. the standard has fall.
en- sharply Harris mentions one
school which permitted a convict
to be released from jail because no
one else could be found to teach the
pupils. was told Of a case where
a teacher teaching sixth grade pu.
pills had never had more than a
fourth grade education herself.
Low pay is, as ii has always been,
one Of the chief difficulties. 1t is a
strange paradox that the business
and industrial groups, who are most
anxious that the principles of de
mocracy and free enterprise be
thoroughly taught, are the greatest
competitors of the schoolhouse.
Here in Washington the minimum
wage Of teachers is below that of
lower grade clerical assistants and
file clerks in the government In in.
dustrial centers. the gap is wider
In business, there is more of a de.
mand today for college-trained per.
sonnel. Many teachers. both male
and female, who went into the serv-
ices held college degrees. and when
discharged were eagerly snapped
up by businesses requiring higher
education.
Chambers of commerce, dis
turbed by the threat of unframed
minds in their communities, have
appealed TO the government to pro-
mote special teachers programs as
a part of the veterans re-training
programs but here again the fed.
eral government would be treading
on thin ice. Thai isn't in the law
/ Private institutions and the COM
munity itself are responsible for this
type of effort, and congress always
puts its foot down when there is any,
thing that even hints at federal ac-
uvity in connection with the public
school system. The office of edu-
cation leans over backward to keep
away from anything that might be
labeled interference.
j Not only poor pay but also lack

tenn faces one of the greatest crises
in its history-American schools
have lost 100000 competent, well.
prepared teachers since Pearl Har.
bor" (That was in June, l944D
At that time only one out of hun
dred school teachers held "emer-
gency certificate" certificates is
sued to persons admittedly not in

class.
Today, according TO an estimate
made in an article in the October
issue Of Coronet magazine, one out

and out Of the 200,0 teachers lost
to war industries, the draft and 9TH
er wartime activities, Coronet finds
at least rs, 900 of those teachers

needed before the present teaching

what he calls adequate"

cational world to its danger, quotes
