This and That

A good book with literally hundreds of
colored illustrations at a reasonable price
is hard to find.
When these are combined with lucid
text by an acknowledged expert, the
reader has gem.
Such is "Wildlife in Color" by Roger
Tory Peterson. just published by Hough-
ton -Mifflin.
The work is sponsored by the National
Wildlife Federation of this city. and con-
tains the gallery Of wildlife miniatures
started in 1888 by the federation, and
familiar to thousands as "wildlife
stamps"
The pictures in the book were painted
between 1889 and 1851 by some of
Americas finest wildlife artists, includ-
ing Walter Weber, Francis Lee Jaques
Leslie Ragan, Roger Tory Peterson, Lynn
Bogue Hunt, Fred Everett, Franklin

Treating Children Like Unwonted Kittens
To the Editor Of The Stor:

COME rather astounding theories on
~ education were passed on to The
Star in the December 5 issue by Col
gate w. Darden, president of the Uni
versity of Virginia. He suggests that
unwilling, uninterested and compare
lively less competent" children be re-
lieved of the necessity of continuing
school beyond the seventh grade.
BY requiring these types of children
to remain in school until 16 years of
age, the State is watering down the
quality of instruction, according to DR..
Darden The proposed system calls for
an appraisal by parents and teachers
to determine whether or not a partic-
ular child should continue school, This
system, believes DR.. Darden. would i'm
prove the level of teaching (through,
I suppose, less detailed Instruction. and
lower the costs of school construction
resulting from a smaller enrollment) {.
Brushing aside the thought that these
theories call for the drowning of so
many unwanted kittens. stand ready
to assert that this is the worst appli-
cation of the survival Of the fittest
theory on record. Any parent or
teacher who is willing to give up on a
13-year-old child definitely is more un-
interested and incompetent than the
child himself. To be sure there are
children mentally incapable Of pursuing
an education, but usually this factor
is spotted before they have completed
the seventh grade.
It is not difficult to picture the terrific
exodus of students that new ruling
such as DR.. Darden suggests would start.
How many 13-year-old students are ma
ture enough to appreciate the values Of
continuing or quitting school? The an
swer might be that the child does not
have to decide; the decision rests with
the teachers or the childs parents.
Indeed, under such system it would
not be long before students would real
ize that by demonstrating lack Of in
terest in their work they could con-
vince their parents that school work was
not for them. With the exception of
about 20 per cent, most children do not

Here we have an amazing panorama,
in less than 200 pages, not only of our
wildlife, but also of our country.
And what country it is, and how we
should rejoice in all it holds, this book
brings out.
What is the difference between a
swamp and marsh?
Mr.. Peterson tells us. If we are to be
accurate, he says a swamp is a wet
place dominated by trees and shrubs
A marsh. on the other hand, "is wet,
treeless area dominated by grass, sedge
and cattails"
This is charming, small book to put
in any ones Christmas stocking, for any
one can learn from it and be enter
tanned the while.
The famous character in the French
play, who discovered that he had been
speaking prose all his life, will be no
more pleased than many a reader. who
will be glad that he has been studying
geology without knowing it,
Every home garden is study in ecol-
ogy. if one SO chooses, and he should so
choose, because all life is interdependent,
as Mr.. Peterson says.
"Wildlife in Color" will not only give
any reader broader comprehension of
life, but will be a good guide to many
of the forms which he may find close
at hand.

Which Child to Liquidate?

ticability of education until their final
year of high school,
In the case where childs occupation
is predetermined and particularly where
this occupation assures a successful fu-
ture, 1t may not be considered good
economics for that child to continue an
other three or five years of school un-
necessarily. However, the income he
would earn in that period never would
offset the value of the mental training
and social experience that he would
acquire, were he to complete high school.
This does not imply that the compile
ton of high school is the ultimate in
education. but it nevertheless brings
person to the point where he is better
able to analyze his next move. Much, of
course, depends upon the quality of edu-
cation.

Back to School

Now that the ill-adviSed strike has been
called off at the Payne and Webb Elementary
Schools, the way is open for orderly discussion
of the complaints of parents who had kept some
300 children from attending classes since last
Thursday.
The parents seem to feel that they secured
further consideration of their views only because
they reSorted to strike action. This is a matter
of opinion, and opinions will differ as to the
accuracy of the contention There can be no valid
dissent however from the view expressed to the
parents by Commissioner Donohue, namely, that
in calling the strike they 'derelict" in their
responsibility to their children, mot only in
denying them the right to an education but in
setting them an example not in conformity with
the American way" strike is an instrument of
coercion in this case an unlawful instrument,
and no school administration could hope to
function in the future should it yield to such
tactic.
To call off the strike, however, is not to clear
away the basis of the controversy. Acting
Engineer Commissioner Hayes, who joined Com
missioner Donohue in attending the Tuesday
night meeting of the parents, said he could
assure them that the school authorities will
reconsider the entire matter" What that Ian
guage means is not clear, but it may be hoped
that Colonel Hayes had some substantial basis
for the statement. 1t would be most unfortunate
If the Payne Webb parents had been persuaded
to send their children back to school after being
assured of reconsideration" it. in fact, there is
nothing that reconsideration can produce in the
way of better solution of the problem.

Further Discussion of Doll

May I compliment The Star for CIV
ing space to the editorial. Dali Re-
forming? In this welter OF wars and
rumors of wars, politics and scandals.
it is wonderful to find one newspaper
aware that man does not live by bread
alone.
Art has definite purpose in life, and
it deserves some newspaper space just
to break the drab monotony Of increas-
ing cynicism and Illustration reported
locally, nationally and internationally
Certainly it rates space when it is
concerned with some one reforming" !"
Lord knows, the field of esthetics seems
to be the only one in which there is
any reforming"
I heartily indorse the idea Of Dali
reforming. Except for his one superb
contribution to contemporary art-"Per-
sistence of Memory" painted back in
the early 1930s, his attempts in sur
realism have been sitting in their medi-
ocrity Persistence" was pure inspira-
ton, and close to being the master
piece of surrealist art. However, Dali
cannot be compared to Tanguay. Paul
Klee or Chagall for freshness of con-
ception or persistent sincerity in sur
realism. His recent, much publicized
Madonna" is an eclectic and purely
superficial work. 1t is signally lacking
in inspiration or impact. Let us hope
that his Christ on the Cross" in his
new idiom will have more real depth.
1t may be well to remember that
Giorgio Di Chirco. founder of the meta
physical school, the predecessors of the
surrealists, reformed" around 1920,
and is now painting miles and miles of
conventional pictures.
OF course, I cannot agree with the
implication in your editorial that the
subconscious is not proper subject for
painters. But will agree that few ar

about the American Flag-as follows:

I am all you hope to be, and have cour-
age to die for.
II swing before your eyes, bright

of that big thing which makes this
Nation great.
My stars and my stripes are your

them so out of your hearts.

Replies to President Green

have just read AFL President
William Green's letter in the AFL
News Reporter condemning your edi-
torial of November 27, titled "Investi-
eating Senator Taft" Mr.. Green states
that your editorial refers to labor as
an evil force. He also says that you
denounce labor organizations. I have
before me a copy of your editorial and
find that Mr.. Green's statements are not
based on fact. Your editorial clearly
charges the labor Bosses" the Greens,
the Murrays and the Lewises and "the
men who profess to speak for organized
labor"
Mr.. Green says "In the name and in
behalf of the, eight million members of
the American Federation of Labor Wig
orously protest the preparation and
publication of the editorial entitled In
vestigating Senator Taft"
But on what authority does Mr.. Green
base that conclusion? Last year Mr..
Green asked each member of the A. F. of
L. to contribute So to Labor's League for
Political Education. This money was to
be used to defeat nti-administration
members of Congress and re-elect such
legislators as Senator Pepper, Repre-
sentative Helen Douglas and Senator
Ebert Thomas. Less than 5 per cent
of our members thought enough of Mr..
Green's wisdom to contribute 81 apiece.
1t was proved in the Ohio investigation
that some of those few who did con-
tribute did so under pressure.
Mr.. Green says he is interested in pre-
serving democratic forms of govern
ment. Let me say that in my % years
membership in the A. F. of L., I cannot
recall ever having had an opportunity
to vote for or against Mr.. Green or any
one else who processes to speak for
eight million members of the A. F. of l..
If Mr.. Green had in his heart the
interests of those who pay his salary, he
would fight the farm support program
and the FEPC bill which would take
employing rights away from the unions
and place them in the hands of the
bureaucratS.

A Prod From Mr.. Spook

In reSigning as president of the European
Consultative Assembly, PaulHenri Spaak of
Belgium may have been bit too emotional. But
his action-a gesture of protest against the
"timid policy" of the delegates in promoting the
unif1cation of the continent-has had the whole
some effect of prodding the Assembly into giving
itself greater executive power to press for some
thing better than the slow progress that has
been made thus far toward the goal of political
and economic federation.
OF course, together with its Council-which
consists of foreign ministers the Assembly is
only an unofficial parliament Nevertheless, by
strengthening its own executive structure, it has
added to its capacity to be more influential with
the recommendations it makes to the sovereign
governments of the numerous European nations
(including Britain) represented in it by distin-
guished delegates 1t is these delegates that
Mr.. Spaak by his resignation and impaSsiOned
speech against timidity, empty talk and slow
motion action, has sought to arouse. What he
wants them to do is to become bolder and more
affirmative in their approach to the problem of
speeding up the day when there will be real
substance to the ancient dream of united
Europe
AS one of the foremost advocates of conti-
mental federation Mr. Spaak has never under
estimated the formidable nature of the obstacles
that stand in the way-the language differences,
ancient historical Emergencies, varying cultural
backgrounds, economic rivalries, lingering fears
and suspicious inherited from past wars, and
such other influences as deep-rooted traditional
distinctions between country and another.
But as he has just declared to the Assembly in
StraSbourg, these obstacles and must be
overcome with the greatest possible speed His
warning to the Germans, the French, the Scan
dinavians, the British, his own countrymen and
all the others involved is that they cannot afford
the luxury of merely talking about their separate
sovereignties and about how hard it is to unite.
What he has demanded of them, for the sake
of free Europe, is that they move forward to-
gether-much faster than they have been doing
toward achieving true unity, without which
they cannot have the individual and collective
strength they need for survival
In Mr.. Spaaks opinion, Europeans (and he
emphatically includes the British) have there
fore got to stop dealing with federation "as if
we had decades to talk of sovereignty and an
eternity to decide" AS he sees the future, far
reaching action must be taken now to start
transating the ideal of unity into a reality;
otherwise there will be just a dragging of feet
toward catastrophe. Considering what has al
ready been achieved under the Economic CO.
operation Administration and what is being done
in connection with projects like the Atlantic
Pact and the Schuman Plan, this viewpoint may
seem to be somewhat excessive. Yet 1T surely
can do no harm. On the contrary, Europe is in
need of such prodding, and because 1t is, one
can only hope that Mr.. Spaak-a very good and
eloquent prodder-will return soon to his leading
role in the Consultative Assembly.

Red Chino's Cruel Ransom Racket

The Treasury Departments breakdown on
the sending of so-caled ransom money to Red
China is justified by facts uncovered about this
cruel racket. The move, however, comes some
what late, if official estimates of the amount
already sent to the Reds are anywhere near
accurate. Chinese Americans in New York City
alone already have been victimized to the extent
of more than ST million this year. it is reported.
Other Chinese Americans with relatives in China
have paid large sums to the Red extortoniStS in
futile efforts to save their kin from torture or
death.
There is a reason for the delay in enforcing
the trading with the enemy" laws against those
who fall for the eXtortion scheme The Govern
ment has been reluctant to put itself in the
position of halting sincere efforts by Chinese in
this country to aid suffering relatives behind
the Iron Curtain. But the racket has grown to
such proportions that officials felt they no longer
could shut their eyes to the extortion payments.
One official has described the racket 'diaboli-
caly clever 1t was all of that. AS it generally
operated, the Red plan was to force Chinese to
urge relatives in the United States to send sums
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 to provide for the
welfare" of the letter writer's. The remittance
of one sum often brought demands for addi-
tional payments. There never any way to
determine if any part of the money ever actually
reached the intended benefciaries. The chances
are that most or all of it went to the Red over
lords-to find its way eventually into the Golfers
of the Communist war effort.
The Chinese Benevolent Association in this
country, recognizing the trickery behind the con-
spiracy is cooperating with the Treasury in
trying to Illustrate the Red gangsters. The Gov
ernment wisely has decided not to prosecute
those who in good faith already have sent
money to China. But it should shut the gates as
tightly as possible against any further payments.
The Chinese Communists already have profited
too we'll by our slowness in cutting off the flow
of ransom" dollars
