Wrecking u. S. School System
Is Red Aim, New Report Says

| instance.
And this training in hate is made
twice as deadly by coupling it with
formal military training for all chill
dren from the fourth grade up.
How can we stop it?
Know communism for what 1t Is.
Know Communists for what they
are. Find them out, drive them out,
and prosecute them by every means
possible under the law.
We need more law than is at pres
ent on the books in order to do this
effectively. See 100 Things You
Should Know About Communism in
the U. S. A. for more details.
How can / tell q Communist?
Compare his opinions OF this or
any other country with his opinions
of Russia. A Communist will crltl-
cize the President of the United
States of America, but not Stain.
Who hangs around with the Com
munistS?
Mostly their fellow travellers and
front organization dupes, but Com
munists themselves will 60 any
where among any people on orders
of their party leaders.
Are there many Communist fronts
and fellow travellers in the United
States school system?
There are, and they are deadly
danger.
How do they work?
Here is an example given by DR..
Harry GideonSe, president OF Brook
lyn College:
"A Communist group at an Ohio
college recently tried very hard to
bring into its ranks young liberal
who was a Phi Beta Kappa and an
officer of the Student Council.
When theological arguments
failed, he was invited to house off
the campus where drinks were
served lavishly. He was then told
he could bring a girl to the house
any time he wanted to, provided he
joined the group.
IF he didn't know any girls with
out bourgeois ideas of morality, he
could be introduced to one"
What are some of their war" tactics
on the school campus?
There are many Communists and
Communist sympathizers among
actors, actresses, authors, musicians,
and other artists whose careers are
interesting and attractive to young
people.
DO they meddle in student activities?
Says DR.. Gideonse:
Perhaps the most effective tactic
they employ, however, is their prac-
tice of espousing popular causes and
protesting militantly against any
thing which they can make appear
as unfair practice, exploitation or
discrimination"
Do any teachers in our schools &C
tually submit to such Communist
dictatorship?
DR.. Gideonse says:
Communist professors and teach
ers play an important part, Of
course, in the broad-scale campaign
to convert our youth to StaliniSm.' .
How do they work?
BY slipping propaganda into class
room work and textbooks and by
leading gullible students into Red
sponsored campus activities.
What's biting these people, anyhow?
Here is at least one part of the
answer given by John Hanna, a
professor of Columbia University,
who was formerly with the Farm
Credit Administration and chief
analyst with the United States
Courts Administration Office:
The girls schools and women's
colleges contain some of the most
loyal disciples of Russia.
Teachers there are often frus-
trated females They have gone
through bitter struggles to attain
their positions.
"A political dogma based on
hatred expresses their personal at
titude."
Politics based on hatred and self
pity has the same appeal for men,
tco. who feel frustrated by life.
How about textbooks?
Dr.. Ralph West Robey, Assistant
Professor of Banking at Columbia
| University, made a survey of high
7 school texts a few years ago with
sone out-and-out Marxist, one "lib-
eral,' and one conservative" schol-
ar to help him.
What did the results show?
, That the success of the United
States of America is played down
in too many of our school books
, and its failures are played up. That
The success of Soviet Russia Is
