Goren on Bridge
Neither vulnerable, South deals

Opening lead: King of clubs.
There is to be observed among
bridge players curious psychology
cal phenomenon which I am not
equipped even to understand, much
less to explain. 1t appears that the
less adept player happens to be
at manipulating the dummy. the
more inclined he is to be overbid
tho it seems to me the opposite
tendency would be more natural.
Not long ago in tournament !
met very genial pair who recog-
niZed this failing and tried to COM
pensate for it. I'VE underbid each
hand one trick" my opponent said,
but unfortunately 1t doesn't work.
because we underplay each hand
two tricks"
A little bit of overbidding now
AND then is not only good for the
spirit, but actually should tend to
improve ones handling of the
dummy. Some of the most inspired
plays have been born of adversely
brought on by preceding atrocity
in the bidding. Today's hand is one
in point.
Thru a series of bids, which need
not be discussed here, South became
declarer at contract of three no
trump. 1t is apparent that the TAX
ing of IL tricks at hearts requires no
ingenuity, but South was the cap
tain of this team and North was the
yes man." The opening lead was
the king of clubs. which South Of
course took because he had another
club stopper.
1 He then tested out the spade situ-
alton because if that suit broke. the
nine of spades would become an
entry for the hearts. However, the
bad news was out when West failed
to follow to the second lead.
Now the contract appeared to be
doomed unless the queen and 10 Of
hearts were alone, which was un-
likely. South hit upon better plan.
He led the jack of hearts. If West
covered he intended to duck with
the idea of overtaking the king
with the ace the next time, trusting
the 10 to drop.
But West played the two of hearts
and low one was played from
dummy. East took his trick with
the queen. Had he not done so, the
contract would have been defeated
because the heart suit would have
been permanently shut out. If East
had held off with the queen 1t would
have been a star play of the first
magnitude. How many players that
YOU know would have risen to. the
occasion? The club was returned
and West cashed two tricks in that
suit, but that was the end as the 10
of hearts fell on the next round and
declarer was able to cash five hearts,
three spades, and two aces, making
four no trump.

the science, history, politics and events of
their era.
To compare our day, consider the President
of the United States He goes on the air and
reads his simple speech in the manner and
tone of an earnest, ungifted ffth-grader. Our
modern statesmen so mistrust their ability
to use their own language that their world
broadcast orations are nearly always the work
of ghost writers. American business is equally
illiterate. The voice of Congress is the voice
of men ignorant of the proper method OF

PHlLIp WYLIE is famous for making people

takes American education apart and shows
,chere it is failing TO equip our youngsters for
their jobs in the W0rh today,
AMERICAS educational system has disap-
N pointed the world. Our land, alone
among the lands of the great nations, does not
know the gray tumble of ruin. Virtually alone,
we stand for liberty and free economy; most
other governments have collapsed, turned
fascist, or become communist or socialist
We own the most tremendous tradition OF
non-aggessive freedom in human history.
Our engineering skill is unsurpassed, and Our
resources and industrial plants add up to the
most overwhelming set of social muscles man
ever constructed.
The American Hour has struck on the
clock of history. But the American pep
pie have failed to answer the summoning
strokes. They are seemingly too ignorant,
and they have lost their moral courage.
1t is not necessary to look far to discover
our intellectual incompetence and lack of
honorable character. A third of our marriages

wage wars we could have avoided by brave
foresight and to manufacture such vain trifes

liberty and become mere seekers OF security?
The reason, of course, lies in ourselves, the
people of America But the pattern of our
corruption and our degradation may be traced
most plainly, perhaps, in our schools. Here,
the young citizen first meets public policy.
When we ask what is wrong with our schools,
we merely ask what is wrong with ourselves.
But bearing that in mind, let us look briefly
at the original purpose of free education in
our democracy and at its present status.
The Red SchooIhouse
In THE eighteenth century, the American
red schoolhouse, or log schoolllouse, was one
of the major hopes of the world. Its purpose
was fundamental and uncomplicated: to
teach freedom - its meaning and RESPONSE
bilities; to teach the citizens their own lam
guage so they could think accurately and
communicate intelligenuy; to supply basic
knowledge of the scientific truths of the era;
and to provide that discipline for the young
which is necessary as the foundation of self
discipline in the mature.
The century of the red schoolhouse was one
in which knowledge and wisdom were es
teerned and education was regarded as the
greatest prize. The masters of those schools
