This is a program that cannot

is important that our youth have

the basis of available evidence,
and that they also achieve abil-
ity to cooperate with others so
that each will make his contri-

Such school program was
badly needed nine years ago.
There is even greater need for it
today. Do you know whether the

and for the aged. We have pro-
vided free medical care for all
those unable to pay for it in gen.
eral hospitals. We have provided
food and clothing relief in homes
for the unemployed. In education,
we have gone much farther and
provided free primary and Sec
ondary education, and to some ex-
tent college education.
OUR religious faiths have taught
" us our obligation to those who
fall behind in the race for a de-
cent living. Our Constitution also
has taught us that every child is
entitled to the equality of oppor-
tunity he can have only if he is
brought up in a reasonably decent
home. Most of our local communi-
ties have not assumed definite
obligation for housing, except in
institutions. While we have as
sumed these obligations, it is quite
true that in many parts of the
country they are not systemati-
cally carried out, largely, l be-
lieve, through lack of funds.
1t is one thing to improve our
present system; it i5 a radically
different proposal to give free
medical care, subsidized housing

Dealers, labor politicians, and

free medical care to everybody,
why not free food, clothing and
housing?
If this is local obligation, how

does the Federal government come

assistance. l think it has an obli-
cation to do so in cases of need
Apart from primary and Sec
ondary education, however, l think
assistance should only be given
when the need is clear.
Second, it should be given only
if complete control of administra-
ton and broad latitude in the
selection of methods is left to the
States and local communities. The
Truman medical plan not only So
cializes medical care, but nation
alizes it.
In the third place, the assistance
given, while it should be consistent
and universal, should not provide
too high a standard, certainly not
as high as that of the man who
pays his own way. The only
method by which people can be
supported is out of the effort of
those who are earning their own
way. We must not create a deter
rent to hard work.
Under the foregoing princi-
pies, / believe that the Federal
government should aid educa-
tion in those States below the
average national income, should
aid States to give free medical
care to all those unable to pay
for it, should assist local COM
munities in eliminating slums
and providing minimum decent
housing, and should in a crisis
undertake to assist States to
provide food.
In my opinion, the American
people feel that we have a suffi-
GENTLY high income so that per-
haps for the first time in history
we can eliminate extreme hard
ship and poverty and give equality
of opportunity to all. I agree with
them.

EDUCATION IN
AMERTCANISM
BY GEORGE PECK

Back in 1941, John E. Cox,
then state superintendent of ed
ucation of Louisiana (perhaps he
still holds that office) outlined
a program of "Americanism" for
the schools under his jurisdic-
tions In introducing his program
he said in part:
1--WE cannot assume any long
er that Republic automatically
perpetuates itself and that Am
erican youth will naturally alb
sorb love and devotion for and
secure and understanding of
Americanism from their environ
ment without definite and spec
ific instructions :. What we
need most is a generation train
ed with the devotion to those
principles which will serve as a
guarantee of our freedom against
its enemies who refuse to value
the lives of the people who con-
stitute the State-a devotion so
strong that we will be willing to
fight for them and, if necessary,
die for them
Mr.. Cox was not merely theor-
izing. He had definite ideas as to
how this devotion could be en-
gendered. He suggested that in
the lower three school grades, a
few minutes should be devoted
each day to teaching patriotism,
and that beginning with the
fourth grade and running
through the eleventh, good cit
izenship clubs should be formed
and regular meetings held for at
least thirty minutes once week.
He further suggested that each
room or organization have a
president, a vice president and
a secretary. and that the neces-
sary committees be appointed to
make the organization and pro-
gram function efficiently and
smoothly. .-
AS to what should be taught,
he offered the following obiec-
tives as a guide for the program:
Cd Ability to understand and
appreciate the meaning of the
Flag.
CD Ability to sing the Nation
al Anthem and other patriotic
songs. .-.
(3) Ability to understand
what our national heroes stood
for from the time our govern
ment was founded.
(4) Ability to understand
wherein our government is su-
perior to state ruled by die
tator.
| (5) Ability to understand how
our civil liberties are safeguard
ed.

long and costly struggle of man.

THEY NEVER GIVE UP

State Senator William D. Boyd of Cleveland Democrat
has offered proposal that would keep party labels the
Ohio ballot despite the newly adopted offceype ballot
which theoretically eliminates such labels.
Senator Boyd will present the proposal that would per-
NIT the party emblem to be printed before the of
every candidate along with the party designation after

just vote by name" .....
In opinion that is exactly what Senator Boyd is
fearful Of we'll many Others who fought the Massa-
chusettsype ballot They still want to connect the
with the party and let the latter become the ruling factor
not the qualifications of the candidate.
We hope that the office type ballot approved by the
people will stand But in the next few months politicians
will be attempting to make every change, especially
with the candidate people in mind but the party.
In opinion the ballot should stand approved. The
people don't need eagle rooster to help them. We
have had too much of that already.
