FAILURE IN EDUCATION

1t may come as a shock to some adults,
but many tests prove that children today are
learning more than was the case Is, 25 and
so years ago. This conclusion is based on
scores achieved by present day youngsters
on the same tests which were administered
20 and more years ago.
For instance, in Evanston, Ill, 529
eighth-grade pupils last year took the same
tests that were given 20 years previously to
pupils of the same school and grade. The
contemporary group scored higher in every
subject but arithmetic in which they main
tanned the same level as their predecessors.
In view of this finding, why do such
prominent educators as President A. Whit
ney GriswOld of Yale warn that educational
standards throughout the United States are
falling and that high school students are not
being adequately prepared for higher edu-
cation? These warnings are not sounded be-
cause tOday's teachers or the methods they
use are inadequate, but because there are
not enough teachers to educate the growing
numbers of children enrolled in schools to-
day The deplorable fact is that there are
not even enough classroOms to accommodate
tOday's school enrollments not to mention
the increase expected during the next 10
years. These shortages act decisively to-
wards lowering educational standards.
Only the adults of the community can i'm
prove current educational standards by tax
ing steps 10 IGllSNG Ll0 HIS AS Q6luOlSJIdCCU
by tests, the schools have the ability to teach
more and the children have the ability to
learn more. Both must be given the re-
sources and encouragement to improve edu-
cation.
AN EXAMPLE TO REMEMBER
The first crop had been bountiful in the
new, strange land the periIs of its wilder
ness, while present still, were no longer Un-
known. So the Pilgrims offered prayers Of
thanksgiving on the day of the feast-girded
spiritually and materially against all dang
ers.
AS we today follow, in effect, their ex-
ample in the festive turkey, so should we
be girded as they were that first Thanksgiv-
ing, against all who imperil us and ouI
heritage of freedom.
i 1t is from our Pilgrim Fathers grateful
prayers in the wilderness that our present
day Of Thanksgiving derives. They set az
example in word and deed which we vel
might remember at least once a year. Ever
before the Mayhower landed them at Ply
mouth they had written in their Compact
1--WE whose names are underwritten hav'
undertaken, for the glory of God, to estao
!, lish in Virginia the first colony for the ad
vancement of the Christian faith
J So glorious our heritage, SO short oul
