Mr.. Poinar, o fine musician
played not only on pitch ant

was powerful and plain; there
was no bluff here. And Mr.

his complete equal In technique
and sensitivity.
Messrs. Poinar and Reginald
hail from the Baldwin Wallace
Conservatory In Berea, Ohio
home of the world-famed Bach
library assembled by the late
Dr.. Albert Riemenschneider. It
was quite fitting. therefore. that
they should begin their recital
with q work by the great COM
poser.
An unusual feature Of their
reading Of the Bach c minor
sonata was the fact that Mr..
Poinar, during the two slow
movements, used a convex bow
while returning to the standard
bow for the others. Although
this reviewer is aware Of no
precedent for such q procedure,
the result was quite pleasing.
The archaic bow gave the music
an antique, mellow sound, much
sweeter and more feminine than
that obtained with the modern
bow.
Among scholars, the Schu-
mann A minor sonata has a
poor reputation. It is generally
considered a broody. oppressive

In the celebrations Of Public
School Week we have come to
the awareness that it is the
Pblic schools we have visited
and talked about. Why do we
have public schools? Is 1t his
torical accident that we have
tax supported, free public
school, rather than an extern
sive system Of private tutors
and private schools?
CHANGING back into our history
we see that fundamental shift
has taken place in our educa-
tional goals, methods and organ
3<tions.
When the colonies were start
ed in America, the South was
largely Anglican in its religion,
the central colonies had a quite
mixed population of Anglicans,
Calvinists and Catholics, while
in New England Calvinist the
ocracy held sway. But in every
case the schools were religious
schools to which townspeople
were allowed or commanded to
md their children. For the most
part these schools were taught
by the ministers and, needless
to say, their major duty was to
impart religion. AS general as
sumption it was regarded as the
duty OF the family to teach chill
dren most of what they would

need to get along in the world
and do its work.
However, between 1907 and
1871 some very fundamental
surrenders were made on the
part Of the family and the
church. AS political organization
developed and the colonies grew
more populous, many matters
formerly controlled either al
home in England. or by church
or family. were passed over to
a colonial government. For ex-
ample, marriage laws and con-
troll thereof became a civil al
fair, with the religious ceremony
slowly taking second place. The
control Of wealth, property and
taxes gradually passed to the
state. Also taking part in this
shift was the control of educa-
ton.
1t Is the LIST Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States
which set in motion the develop
ment of the public schools.
There was to be no religious test
for public office. This broke the
hold Of the theocrcies and meant
separation of State and Church.
Congress was to make no law
establishing religion, and this
broke the hold of one church
over the others, and was a de-
parture from European tradi-
ton; it effectively excluded riv-
airy of sectarian religions for
political power by direct capt
lures of the government.

founded upon the assumption
that a republic needed an in
formed electorate; the goal of
the schools was not religious ed
ucations but democratic educa-
ltion.
The constitutional separation
OF State and Church has result
ed in the fixing of religious ed
ucation squarely on the private
activities OF the churches. Just
as the public school was deve-
oped to meet the need of dem
ocratic education, so the Sum
day school was created to con-
duct religious education. Some
religious education was, of
course, carried on in the paro-
chial schools which persisted,
Some religious groups have new
or accepted the role of the public
democratic education and religi-
Gus education in their parochial
schools. Another reason they
have tried this combination is
that the state has insisted that
parochial schools must meet GER
tain minimum state educational
standards. This pressure has
made it very difficult for them,
in view of the growing success
of the public schools and of the
tax power of the state and local
governments and citizens to
support the public schools.
The fact is that we have had
a mixed school system and,
while the purposes of these
schools have been quite differ
ent, they have tended to become
confused in the public mind.
The fact also is that the same
emendous growth that causes
the current problems of the
public schools also causes the
same problems for the private
and the parochial schools lack
of funds, failure to have enough
trained teachers in the right
places, an excessive number OF
students in certain groupings,
end just the sheer size of the OPP
eration have made it clear that,
while the public school may be
staggering, the parochial school,
the Sunday school and the aca-
DENY are laundering badly. AS
tire religious schools fail to ach-
ieve successful operation, their
churches turn more and more
envious eyes upon state funds
and facilities, and they desire to
use them for religious educa-
tional purposes; hence, the in
creased preSSures on the schools.
In summary, it can be said
that the public schools are faced
with constantly increasing size,
and also with tremendous pres
sures from the community and
incr easing attacks from politi-
clans, patriotic groups and
church groups. In view Of this,
II can be said that if, and en-
phasize if, it can be charged that
the public schools are failing, il
is so because they are being at
tackled on all sides and because
we have lost sight of their pur-
p Csc. 1t is al so because we have

For long time PROBATE and
religious schools have existed
alongside the public schools has
rested with the state, it is only
within the last rs to so years
that state governments. have as
sumed responsibility. for funds
organization, administration anC
the initiation Of public educa-
ton.
In a short span of less than
$50 years. education has grown
from a small local undertaking
to a highly complex enterprise
largely operated by state gov
The belief that education IS !
state function is partly response
nile, but, coupled with that be-
lief. has been the changing COR
ernments. In no other govern
mental service has growth beer
more rapid or more dramatic
cept of the function Of govern
Eent itself. Other factors in the
change were the startling made
quacy of local units in the face
of astounding growth in the
population and development oi
an industrial culture in place OF
the earlier agricultural one.
This tremendous change in the
responsibility for the basis O
education has had several I'M
portant results. The first anc
most obvious result has been tine
decline Of parochial education
The religious and private AGA
denny has not been able to keer
up with the pace Of the growth
in the population. The academic:
which have survived have
drawn less on the ministers ant
church groups for pupils anc
more and more on community
support. To get his they were
forced to become nonsectar;an
The faculties which were stric
ly religious suffered from want
OF funds and want of training
and soon made a poor showing
in comparison with the public
schools.
The second development was
the organization of the public
school itself with its broad basl
and indirect cost, with its ap-
peal to the family as a good
haby-sitting service, with its
freedom from dogma. The public
school was based largely OF
values which were current ir
The thought of the founding
fathers of the Constitution dur

These extreme departures
were later extended by the l4th
Amendment of the Constitution
with its emphasis on individual
citizens rights, and by the 5th
Amendment with its due pro-
cess clause. These gave protec-
ton to dissenters and prevented,
even in the event Of capture Of
government by a particular ide-
ology or theology. the abuse of
power by placing in the hands
of the courts the rights Of deci-
sion, with rulings possible
against the state itself. A furth-
er extension Of these principles
has been excluded in many of
these principles has been includ-
ed in a map of the state constitu-
tons explicitly fitting the state
law into the pattern established
by the Federal Constitution.
State control of education is
the basic assumption of our
Constitution. Education was not
mentioned in the Constitution OF
the United States as one of the
functions delegated to the Fed
eral Government and hence, by
inference, it was reserved to the
states. Legal thory and practice
have followed this theory, state
legislatures may establish any
form Of educational organization
they wish.
Both by geographical necessity
and by political mores the actual
control of educational programs
mas conferred in the local school
board or district, with very gen.
eral iontrol of iurrihula, funds
and standards being exercised
by the state. Laymen who are
unfamiliar with legal theory
have often assumed that the
control rests with the local
board in all areas Of school OPP
Grafton. This is not so.
In the early days of America,
the schools reflected the simple
organizations of society, but,
with the adoption of a Federal
Constitution, a pattern for the
development of America was
set. This pattern conditioned the
development of both poblic and
private parochial education, and
had a profound effect on religi-
Gus education.
With the development shifted
from individuals to the state or
Federal government. Social and
physical health, welfare, safety.
sanitation, communication by
mail. transportation and, to
some extent, ruel, light and
water became the responsible
ties of city, county, state and
Federal government. Education
shared in this change from fam
lily responsibility to agencies
outside the family.
The shift from the conception
OF the state as a police agency
to one concerned with "the gen.
eral welfare" resulted, in the
case of education, in the state
passing compulsory attendance
laws, in providing for more uni
fern educational opportunity,

never supported them ade-
quately in the first place: Il n
because we have never insisted
upon their exclusive right to
lmpart democratic education.
Only the public school system is
at ii adequate today, and it is
threatened with subversion by
churches and with neglect.
l came away from visits to
the public schools with admira-
ton for the teachers and staff
who actually succeed in demo-
cratic education in spite of the
lacks and the pressures. | felt
the noble desire to do the Job
right and sensed the Illustrations
on all sides. Education for de-
mocracy in the public schools
must take precedence over any
other welfare interest of the cit
liens and their government. In
spite of the tremendous needs
in safety and health, in COM
munications and in other fields
we must protect the greatest in
cubator we have OF democratic
methods and goals.
1t is out duty to support the
basic purpose of the public
school to make the child into an
educated human being who is a
free man. 1t is our duty to help
make the child into a person
who is not slave TO govern
ment, to a mother image, to q
political leader, or to a machine.
II is our duty to help the public
schools make mature persons out

Housewife Convicted for Blocking Fire Report by Staying on Telephone

POUGHkEEPSlE NY, R- A hot-tempered housewife has been convicted of refusing to yield a country telephone party line when volunteer fireman tried to re- port a fire.
 Mrs. Mary Raves, 43, of Rhine beck, NY. could get a maximum of a year in jail, a $500 fine or both under new state statute covering use of party line tele- phones in an emergency.
