WAY TO SOCIALISM


 mour of Yale University declared recently that his university wants no part of federal grants for edu- cational purposes, 1t seemed to me high time that educators n general should wake up to the dangers inherent in federal aid to education. The public, too, seems entirely too complacent regarding this "let-Washington-d -do-it" atti- tude, an attitude far too many educators have been fooled into accepting.
 It was President Seymour i- dea that direct federal grants to his institution would "imperil the independence of the university" Indeed, sooner or later they would Public school educators could tear a leaf out of Seymour's notebook. If federal aid would bring inter ference and control at Yale, so also would federal grants to pub lie education gring control over local educational functions.
 Pocketbook Power
 As far as l know, nobody has ever argued that control over fin ances of an undertaking fails to bring with it full control of that project. Surely where the pock- etbook is, there goes the author ity. None of those arguing for federal aid will admit they would welcome federal control of edu- cation. Everybody wants to avoid federal control (except the Com muniStS),
 Yet it amazes me that folks would accept measures that lead to control, as surely as dawn pre- cedes day. We work hard to spend tax money, to promote decentral- ization, local responsibility, and local self-government in Germany. We still believe that Hitler and his Nazis built dictatorship by concentrating political power into hands that no one dared oppose.
 Local Rights
 Why then, should America ever take a step in the same direction? Federal aid to public >education is socialized education. All the dangers attendant to the central ized government would be mag nified under any plan that would permit federal control of the edu- cation of children. Must America go in the same direction that Czechoslovakia has gone? Free dom of the local community in educational affairs must be main tained.
 No sane educator or good cit izen would argue against more and better education. Every body agrees on the necessity for improving our schools constantly. Not only the children, but the na- tion as a whole suffers when we neglect to provide funds for school buildings and equipment. Our public school teachers need better pay and better training. Although we have already made the record of any nation in the realm of ed- ucation, we can do still better.
 On The Alert
 The answer to this problem is: educate the adults. Educate the grown folks to have the same appreciation for good education that they have for good high ways, and you will find splendid
