 Education for war was taken seriously" he said. Education for winning the peace is harder The safety, peace and security Of all nations will be possible only through education The schools are the concern of everyone"
 Sears gave comparative statistics on American spending and school enrolment figures, and concluded nis thoughtful talk by saying, More than anything else, the kind of education we have today deter mines our tomorrow"

Florida Educator Urges
More Play for Teachers

TALLAHASSEE, FLA.-A Flori-
da educator asserts that elementary
teachers need more time during the
school day to relax, drink a coke,
smoke a cigarette Dr. gossip with
other teachers"
DR.. J. c. Peel, dean at Florida
Southern College, says the teacher
in the lower grades has children
under foot or in her hair from $3.50
am. to 3 pm. five days a week"
The lack of free time, he says,
is directly responsible for the short
age Of instructors in schools all
over the country. He thinks some
thing should be done to attract more
teachers to the elementary schools.
ut is impossible to do good high
school or college work on a base Of
ineffective education in the lower
grades" DR.. Peel declared in an
article written for the Florida
School director.
1.-THE greatest disadvantage Of
elementary teaching is that the
teacher is allowed no time during
a school day in which she can be
away from the children" he wrote.

Southern Governors Plan
FuII.Time Capital Bureau

SAVANNAH, GA.-Southern Gov
ernors planned today to set up per
maent shop in Washington to help
wage war against Federal civil
rights proposals and carry the
South's banner on other issues.
Several Dixie executives said a
southern governors bureau in the
capital was likely to spring from a
resolution approved last night by
the Southern governors conference.
The resolution deplored "hostli-
ty" toward the South in the rest Of
the country and declared this un-
favorable attitude was created and
perpetuated by untruths and half
truths"
A southern foundation was estab-
lished to correct the picture and
give the rest of the nation the
South's story.
The governors conference. which
ended last night formally noted
that many economic indicators"
show more progress in the South
than in the nation as a whole. The
South still retains material wealth,
highly attractive to industry. which
hardly has been touched yet, the
governors declared.
But despite this progress, they
added, there is "a serious lack Of
information about the South. which,
coupled with misinformation. has
resulted in the formation in the
minds of millions Of Americans an
unfavorable attitude toward this
great area"

Two definite trends were re-

school site should be large, and
the building if possible should be
of the one-story type especially
if it is for the elementary
grades.
Because a building program

this type.
