ing the most important assign

This IN q complete expose of the
National Education Association,
that entrenched hierarchy of
school administrators and teach
ers, the SUPPLEMENTARY which
leads around by the nose the Ma
tons school administrators and
teachers, most of whom are good
Americans but who are powerless
in the hands of this entrenched
Socialist autocracy."
Heavy Attack on Textbooks.
Mr.. Zoll's literature attacking the
public schools usually takes the
slant that the so-called progress
sive education is the root of all the
trouble, that the schools have
gotten away from basic reading,
writing and arithmetic. Textbooks
come in for heavy attack.
One of his pamphlets is entitled
Progressive Education Increases
Delinquency" Another is called,
American Higher Education: It's
Betrayal of Trust and Faith" Still
another is entitled. Must Amer
ican Youth Be Taught That Com
munism and Socialism Are Supe-
rior to Americanism?"
Mr.. Zoll's personal story, as
compiled from NEA files, the B'nai
Birth reports and other informa-
ton available. is as follows:
Now about Sc years old, he is
said to have been born in Atchi-
son. Kans. He was graduated
from the University of Arkansas
in 1919 and served as an infantry
officer in World War I.
He bills himself as a sales con-
sultant and has been president
of the International Association
of Sales Executives, vice president
of the National Federation of
Sales Executives and a member
of the Sons of the American Rev.
olution.
Mr.. Zoll studied law at Harvard
University but didn't finish his
course. He became a sales exec
utive about 1880.
In 1899. Mr.. Zoll appeared be-
fore the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee to oppose the appointment
of Felix Frankfurter to the Su-
Ipreme Court on the grounds he
was Jewish.
In 1889, Mr.. Zoll was chairman
of meeting to protest the barring
of Father Coughlin, proponent OF
the Christian Front. He picketed a
New York radio station and many
of the pickets carried anti-Semitic
signs.
He was then arrested and held
under $4,000 bail on a charge OF
attempting to extort $500 from
the radio station president, Donald
Flamm, after allegedly telling Mr.
Flamm he would call off the pick
cts for the payment. The charges
later were dropped.
Warning on Attack.
DR.. Harold Benjamin of the Uni
versity of Maryland also has at
tackled Mr.. Zoll. In a speech last
year before the NEA convention in
st. Louis. he warned that a gen.
eral attack against public educa-
ton is being organized.
DR.. Benjamin said Mr.. Zoll's
group was a leader in this anti
school campaign.
The program of Mr.. Zoll's group
as set forth in one of his pam
Iphlets, includes the following:
i Review and evaluate as many
additional textbooks as possible
!; Publish the findings regarding
leach of the books reviewed. Dis.
Iseminate these reports on un-
|American textbooks to all who
have to do with their selection
Including the boards of education

ecutive vice president of the Ma
tional Council for American Edu-
cation, has popped up In the
school affairs OF Arlington County,
Very promptly the Arlington
School Board passed q resolution
warning county residents that Mr..
Zoll's organization has engaged In
campaigns in other communities to
ruin the public schools" The
action came after the board
learned that. at least one. Arling-
ton resident had received a letter
from Mr.. Zoll. asking him to join
the organization.
Just who is Mr.. Zoll?
The National Education Asso-
citation. recognized professional
group for public education in the
United States, has a thick file on
Mr.. Zoll and his activities. The
NEA says he is one of the leading
enemies of public education.
The Anti-Defamation League
Of B'nai Birth, the well-known
Jewish organization. say he has
co-operated in the past with anti
Semites.
Warning on Confusion.
| The American Council on
Education. the top-ranking organ
ization of the Nations colleges
and universities, officially has only
warned about the confusion in
names MIR. Zolls organization is
creating. Unoffcially. it supports
the NEA stand.
McCall'S Magazine. in Septem-
Der. ran an article warning about
the attacks on public education
by Mr.. zoll's group. saying it is
the leader in an attempt to ex-
plot misunderstanding of modern
Education and the consuming feal
Iof communism.
