hope it will be generally agreed that, over the years, organized labor has been a good friend of the Ameri- can school system. We in labor are well aware that century ago work ing mems organizations led the fight to establish free public schools in this country, to make attendance compul- sorry, and to provide free textbooks This battle, which had its roots in workers efforts to extend the bene- fits of democracy, continues today on many diverse levels.
 It is almost impossible to'differ- entiate between education and teachers. Organizations which be- ieve that our tax structure must be geared to provide adequate edu- catiOnal facilities necessarily be- lieve that school teachers are enti- tied to salaries that make possible g decent standard of living and high professional standards. Ob- viously, our public school system is the chief means whereby the sons and daughters of working people may obtain an education. It is our hope to be able to further improve this system.
 In this undertaking we will need the help of our school teachers. La- bor believes that too many of our school buildings are inadequate; that many of the textbooks in current use are approaching obsolescence and that the public at large must soon ac- cept the principle that school teach CTS, like factory workers and truck drivers, are entitled to living wage
 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
 say that we need the help of school teachers, and in a number of ways. In our efforts to improve educational standards and to obtain better wages for our teachers, we are handicapped by the fact that in many communi- ties teachers seem to be group apart unto themselves. Until the recent wave of wage-activity by teachers, the average community only thought of teachers as teachers, and rarely if ever thought of them as citizens.
 Too often teachers have failed to interest themselves in community affairs. They have not appeared at public hearings to give their views on issues outside of their own field. Although they usually are among the largest of organized groups in any given town or city, they have used their strength for purely pro- fessiOnal purposes and rarely en- tered the arena of municipal life.
 We believe that the teacher and his contribution to education will be bet ter understood and accepted if he ac- cepts the duties of citizenship. Natu- rally 1 do not refer to narrow politi- cal issues.
 FAIR TO ALL
 We would also hope that teachers will be fair in presenting the economic facts of life in their classrooms. The average textbooks used in history, civ ics, and economics classes still give a distorted picture of the contribution made by working people to the de- ve1opment of the United States. We do not expect or want a partial pres .entation. If teachers will accept the fact that, by and large, the greatness of this country was made possible by a combination of labor and capital, progress will have been made. It is our hope that all textbooks will soon present this moderate, middle of the road, point of view.
 It is a paradox that, too often, textbooks and teachers lag behind
