A School Teacher
Discusses Socialism

Thomas J. Shelly, a high school
teacher in Yonkers, N. Y, reports
AS a teacher in the public schools,
find that the socialist-communist
idea of taking "from each according
to his ability" and giving ito each ac-
cording to his need" is now accepted
without question by most Of our
pupils. In an effort to explain to
them the fallacy in this theory, l
sometimes use the following ap-
proach:
When one of the brighter or harder
working pupils makes grade of 95
on test, l suggest that take away
20 points and give them to a student
who has made only 55 points on his
test. Thus each would contribute ac-
cording to his ability and-since both
would have a passing mark-each
would receive according to his need.
After l have juggled the grades of
all the other pupils in this fashion,
the result is usually a common
ownership" grade of between rs and
80-the minimum needed for passing,
or for survival. Then l speculate
with the pupils as to the proable re-
suits if | actually used this socialistic
theory for grading papers.
First, the highly productive pupils
and they are always a minority in
school as well as in life-would soon
lose all incentive for producing.
Second, the less productive pupils
would, for time, be relieved of
the necessity to study. This system
would continue until the high pro-
ducers had sunk to the level of the
low producers. At that point, in order
for anyone to survive, the author
ity" would have no alternative but to
set up system of compulsory labor
and punishment against even the low
producers.
Finally | return the discussion to
the ideas of freedom and enterprise
the market economy-where each
person has freedom of choice, and is
responsible for his own decisions and
welfare. And most of my pupils then
understand what l mean when l ex-

Hope For The Best

We are very much disap-
pointed this week that we are
not able in our news columns
to give a complete story of ac-
ton taken by the County Com
misSiOnerS, sitting as a Licen-
sing board.
We were of the opinion for a
time that they were taking the
attitude, similar to the OPS
where they ordered anything
that embarrasses us, don't
print" and we felt that for the
first time we were finding a case
Of suppression of news in our
local government.
They promise a full story
next week and report only that
those involved in the case should
be notified before any announce
ment is made to the public.
They indicate that something
definite has been accomplished,
and we hope that this is so and
that it is the purpose of the
county officials to continue their
cleanup job in the county. One
can't be on the fence in cases
like this, particularly where Of
ficials are elected to uphold and
carry out the laws of the county.
We feel that Sheriff Paul w.
Fisher has been particularly
ION the ball" and hope that his
efforts at enforcing the laws
will bring definite fruit.
We hear talk that different in
dividuals are trying to bring
pressure on our enforcement of
ficers and our County Commits
sioners. Perhaps it is time for
the bigger majority of persons
who want to see law enforced, to
start putting on a little pressure
of their own. At least it would
show that the majority of the
citizens here are a little more
conscious of what the Kefauver
committee was talking about
when it declared there was moral
laXity in the nation.

The Living Constitution

During this years legislative ses-
sion, the state of California took a
step which should be followed through
out the country. The California Legis-
lature passed a law which requires
that course in the Constitution and
in American history be condition for
graduation from high schools, junior
colleges, state colleges, and the state
university.
That requirement, coming at time
when enemies within and without the
nation are bent on destroying the let
ter and spirit of the constitution, is a
matter of the utmost Importance.
The Constitution is our first line
of defense against tyrrany and OPP
preston. AS Percy V. Long, a lead
ing San Francisco attorney and author
of "The Story of the Constitution" has
written, Under the Constitution the
only power to govern is under rule
of law, securing to the individual the
right to go and come and to stay;
to enjoy the family relations; to pur-
sue honest industry and innocent rec
reation; to exercise freedom of
opinion, of worship, and of speech;
and the rights of private property.
"'To secure these rights govern
ments are instituted among men, as
stated in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. 1t was the message to the
world, proclaiming the American phil
osophy of government"
That message was never more vital

"Anything that embarrasscs us,

But the thousand one one gov

Recently the price control chiefs made
arrangements to add some 60 Tex

about the why's and wherefores of re-

ing business and people unapprecia-

those publicists.

that much of the teaching in our
schools, and particularly colleges,
along with many of the textbooks in
current use, is inimical to the Con-
stitution and to those liberties it

splendid step. No young person should
