Every Person Is
Interested In
This Problem
BY Charles d. Rowe

A recent bulletin by the National
Education association discusses a
subject that is of interest to all of
US We quote:
World War II ended in a victory
over the forces of fascism. No soon
er had it ended, however, than a
bitter struggle between the two
conflicting ideOlogies of commun-
ism and democracy arose.
1T is perfectly clear that dem
ocracy and the system of free enter
prise are under vigorous attack in
western Europe 1t is also clear that
they are seriously threatened in our
own country.
To-day the American people are
called upon to support democratic
ideals around the globe. There is no
other choice Retreat into isolation
is impossible in today's world
THE future of freedom through
out the world is indissolubly linked
with our own.
Congress has in recent years
granted large amounts of aid to
western Europe and China.
IF it will help to keep the peace,
to get Europe on its feet, to stem
the tide of totalitarianism, this aid
will be a small price to pay compar-
ed to the 800 billions spent on the
last war.
1T is of the utmost Importance,
however, in the trying years ahead,

that we strengthen our defenses at
home as well as abroad.
I'VE must conserve and develop
our human resources with care and
foresight. The basic defense of our
nation and of the cause of free men
resides in the intelligence and
physical well-being of all citizens.
There is no surer means Of
Strengthening the enemies of de
mocracy than by neglecting these
two basic human factors in Ameri-
can life.
ITO tolerate ignorance within our
nation is to invite disaster. The
alien propaganda would wish for
northing better than for large num-
bers of our young people to reach
adulthood in ignorance. without a
deep and abiding faith in the
American way of life.
Unless every child in his early
years acquires a thorough knowl-
edge of, and love for the demo-
cratic institutions in our great re
public he inevitably is potential

Continuing the argument, the
bulletin says:
Five million children were with
out opportunity of becoming we'll
grounded in the foundations Of
American life because they were
not in school at all, according to the
u. S. census of 1910.
Some communities in some states
in 1910 spent 60 times as much for
the education of a child as did some
communities in other states.
Ten million adults in 1910 had
so little schooling as to be almost
illiterate.
Three million of this number
had never been enrolled in any
school.
Twenty five per cent of our
people over rs years of age in 1910
had six years or less of schooling.
That's not very pretty picture.
Much should be done to correct 1t.
While Montana has always felt
pride in its educational system, yet
there is room for improvement.
Some progress was made by the
last legislature. An association of
educators is now studying con-
ditions in our state so as to go be-
fore the next legislature with re-
commentators for further needed
legislation. Much time was spent
during the 1947 session on school
matters, and unquestionably this
important subject will require a
great deal of study during the l949
session.

We are living in a day of appoint
ments. The average business mar
can point to his calendar and tel
you just where he will be a week
from next Thursday.
Unfortunately. amid the clutter
of appointments the world has lost
sight of the one appointment which
gives purpose to all of life. The
Bible speaks of all of us when it
says, st is appointed unto men once
to debut after this the judg-
ment"
That is life's supreme appoint
ment; an appointment none of us
will be able to eVade or even to
postpone For in the words of one
of Christ's apostles, 1--WE must all
appear before the judgment seat of
Christ"
Are YOU prepared for that ap-
pointment? No man is ready to
meet his Maker who has not found
forgiveness for his sins in the suf-
fering and death of the worlds only
Redeemer.
The apostle Paul could say Il am
ready" because he had made his
peace with God through Christ. Can
YOU say the same? Keep your APP
pointment with God at church next
Sunday, for He intends to help you
find that peace there.-ST JOHN
LUTHERAN CHURCH.
