Gently.
Mr.. Stassen's remark were made

monger."
May I assure you that no one
more earnestly desires future peace
between our countries than I do, y
Mr.. Stassen's wire to Izvestia said
II am optimistic that we
can work out our problems without
war, and I still stand back of every
word that I expressed to Generals
simo Stain as reported verbatim in
your country and mine eight months
ago.
But I have been gravely con-
cerned as TO the ultimate outcome
of the policies which the leadership
of your country has been following
since that date =.
IF the policy of Russia changes
and your government begins to move
in good faith in accordance with
Generalissimo Stalin's statements to
me, then I would favor American
assistance to the peaceful recon-
struction of your war damaged
country and to help in the standards
of living Of the peoples of Russia,
for whom I have great respect"

reversing, with a powerful braking
effect. would facilitate forced land

If all their faults are to be cor
rected, public school teachers can
expect to give up their sleeping time
to self improvement.
They. must understand world af-
fairs, attend lectures. hear con-
certs, join civic organizations and
find time for recreation to rejuve-
nate their sense of humoS Any
spare time must be spent in self
examination.
These were the suggestions OF
eight classroom teachers who met
at the National Education Associa-
ton headquarters for the past two
days, attempting to find some
method of evaluating the work of
teachers and of improving its
quality.
Although they turned the cold
light of introspection upon them
selves, the teachers had lot to say
about why supervisors and princi-
pals are more to blame for teachers
faults in the classrooms than are
the teachers.
We are teaching children in
directly every minute we are with
them" the teachers said. Many
parents and school boards judge
us, not by what we accomplish with
their children, but by what we do
to make things easier for the prin-
cipal. Keeping order in the class
room, making out reports, willing
ness to do extra jobs, and other
details that make things run
smoothly for the principal are given
too much Importance.
All the teachers wanted recogni-
ton of the fact the actual learning
which a child receives is the most
important aspect of teaching. 1t
follows, they said. that it is almost
impossible to evaluate the work of
any teacher. That was also the
reason the teachers are opposed to
making merit system rating the
basis for pay raises.
If public school teachers go ahead
with their plans, children will know
more about world affairs and the
United Nations organization than
their parents do.
