of time, enriching history itself.
That brings us to the first failure
of our schools: ossr grosOing tr0rtien-
ioteness. In our day the American
school graduate is so awkward with
words, lenses and rhetoric that the
truly educated listener is shocked
into realizing the school product
does not have the equipment for
logical and reasonable thought or
expression. His brain is crippled, be-
cause his school did not give him
the tools to think with. Here is the
first evidence of repression. We are
linguistically incompetent, even
though we hold college diplomas.
Some while back - generation
or two, perhaps - our schools aban-
doned the attempt to furnish us with
two of the RS" reading and writ
ing. and thereby cut the connection
between the common man and basic
education. For that man who lacks
vocabulary and is ignorant of gram
mar and of usage is doomed Ounce.
He cannot understand the books he
must read if he is to acquire learn
ing; he cannot even mediate upon
the problems of his own community.
And that man has become nearly
every American!
In a sense, it is not necessary to
examine the breakdown of the Amer
lean school system any further.
Since it has failed in it's most fun
damental purpose. the teaching
of articulation. it has altogether
failed. We have the best communl
cations on earth. but we cannot use
them for much. After $50 years of
free, compulsory education and at
the commencement of the Atomic
Age. the common denomination of
communication among Americans is
the soap opera. 1t is to be expected
that attempts to teach ideas and
truths to mute and mindless public
will be largely futile

WHAT'S YOUR DIPLOMA WORTH?

Finally, our century OF material
progress" achieved the ruin of
teaching itself as local politicians,
professional men and business lead
ers, acting through their school
boards, took from the educational
process its last resource: the right OF
criticism - freedom to apply the
analytical method.
This was done gradually. The
boosters" mind became the arbiter
of textbooks and, naturally, ex-
plunged from them everything which
did not make good advertising for
the status quo in local America.
Petty Patriotism
HERE persisted the last hope for
any education in the electorate. The
average contemporary graduate OF
our schools has been sedulously
taught that America is blessed,
wonderful and almost perfect land,
that his section of America, be it the
flower-strewn South, rock-ribbed
New England, or the glad-handing
West, is by far the most noble and
righteous section of America. He
has also been taught that his state
is the greatest state in the Union,
and that his community, for one
reason or another, is the true heart
land of his state. This is absolute
non-education and pure propaganda.
Because of it, Americans are not
only isolated and provincial in the
world, of which they are ignorant,
but they are provincials among
themselves. An American is Viz
ginian, sub. first - and the inhabi-
tant of a vast, free nation only in
pinches. Great newspapers indulge
in this imbecile state patriotism.
And all of its monstrous pap is the
product of our educational system.
1t has made the majority of us too
SNUG and optimistic to be able to
see gross imperfections and great
dangers in local or national affairs.
1t is perfect childishness and
childishness in an adult is a vice.
have said that America has be-
come an inarticulate nation. Our
schools have become trade schools.
And the ''boosters" who control
them trim the truth to fit their
small, commercial minds. These
are but few evidences that show
how the principle of free, democratic
education has decayed since the
founding of our Republic And as
our education has dwindled so also
has the relative pay of the educators,
thus adding another step to the
dizzy descent.
The schools, which permitted
these changes in standards, helped
create climate in which education

frizzy." You get a radiant. lus-
trous cleansing. You get the
added benefits of coconut and
castor oils .. for quick lathering
and cleansing and a quick
filmless rinse.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1947-06-01

is disparaged by the average Ameri-
can. The school janitor makes more
money than some of the teachers:
teachers must tend bar or scrub
floors to supplement their meaper
wages. Today, prestige and pay are
so low that not even enough new
teachers are entering the field to
keep the school system operating.
much less to rebuild it.
The purpose of education, be-
lieve, is still to bring children into
maturity as articulate, emancipated,
self-discipllned reasonable, informed,
responsible human beings. Happi-
ness depends. after all. on two quail
ties in the individual: confidence in
himself - or trustworthiness - and
confidence in others. The eighteenth
century school at least aimed at the
implanting of such qualities, in an
age when their value was clear and
their acquisition was generally re-
garded as desirable,
All we have left of that ideal is
material progress. We are ma
ton of children who refuse to
grow up. The pleasures of the lower
school grades are the main preoccu-
pations of the leisure of the average
grown American: games, sports,
parties. dances, fairy tales on the
silver screen, the soap opera, maya
zine fiction and comics. We use our
automobiles as big baby carriages.
The Only Antidote
l HIS, the reader will say. is very
pessimistic survey of our society.
Pessimism. | would answer. is the
only possible antidote for the gene
ration of "boosterism' which has
brought us down to such mental
and moral immaturity, Pessimism
- and an intense. general, and long
lasting criticism of our educational
system - is the proper means to-
ward the restoration Of our indl-
vidual dignity,
The educated man is mature. His
maturity is based on articulation; an
understanding of general principles,
not gadgets; and on truth, not
boosterism. The educated man seeks
more truth - more education all his
life. His love of humanity is not
sentimental but honest, and he ex-
presses it by the way he acts He
can be trusted. And he serves HIM
self by serving liberty, which is his
fundamental principle.
Let US, then. hberate Our schools
Let us find. and pay for, teachers
whom we can respect; and let us re-
spect them-so that our educational
system may never again produce a
nation of self-infatuated. junk-loVlng
child-adults Inc Emu
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1947-06-01
oux Changed Ideal

But that's not all. Here is another
tragedy: Our schools themselves
have steadily lost prestige. This loss
of prestige can be ascribed, of course,
to the replacement of the eighteenth
century ideal of the Importance of
education with the new American
ideal of progress through material
aggrandizement.
Our schools increasingly regard
the teaching of a trade as their chief
function. Any fool can learn trade.
but knowing a trade has nothing to
do with being an educated. compe-
tent citizen in a republic! So, as
schools grow more and more "voca-
tional." their moral authority and
intellectual prestige diminish.
