Crisis in Education

The gathering here of more than
1900 educators and others interested In
public schools attests the gravity OF the
crisis in education that confronts the
American people Because the emergency
is Of Nationwide proportions, it is appro-
pirate that the Federal Government
should take the lead in mobilizing edu-
cational authorities for concerted attack
on the complex problem. While schools
primarily are responsibility of State
and local governments as President Ell
Senhower pointed out in his message to
the conference, the National Government
has a right to be concerned about the
quality of education offered the younger
generation How far it should go in
helping to improve educational facilities
is one major question to be considered
by the White House Conference on
Education.
Federal aid to schools, while given
most prominence in preconference dis
cusSionS of the agenda, actually is only
one of half dozen main topics scheduled
for consideration this week The other
subjects include such questions as: What
Ou1 oOAlOOio dCN1A4BlAoAty III WAA0ss
ways can we organize our school systems
more efficiently and economically? What
aresour school building needs2 How can
we get enough good teachers-and keep
them? How can we obtain continuing
public interest In education? The ques-
tions themselves are indicative of the
wide variety of factors bearing on the
critical plight of American public schools.
1t was unfortunate that some groups,
with axes to grind. had the presumption
to prejudge the conference and to suggest
that the President or his advisers had
stacked" the meeting for some purpose.
Any such suggestion IS unfair not only
to President Eisenhower and the Depart
ment of Health, Education and Welfare,
but to every participant In this extraor-
binary national town meeting on
schools It is evident from the member
ship of the conference and from the
advance 'fhomework" supplied the dele
gates that both sides Of the Federal-aid
as well as other controversial questions
will be adequately presented. The And
ings of the four-day conference there
fore should be of tremendous value in
planning the strategy for an all-out pro-
gram at all levels to improve our ailing
schools. &

More Cold War

Coupled with the poisonous anti
Western propaganda being mouthed in
India by the Bulganin- Khrushchev duet,
the newest incident In the Soviet sector
of Berlin makes the late spirit OF
Geneva" look very dead indeed. Certainly,
when two American Congressman and
their party are detained at >gunpoint by
puppet East German Communist troops,
and when Russia's touring leaders speak
out as they do against our country and
its allies, there can be little question that
a new phase Of the cold war has begun
and that the Kremlin. despite its show
of smiles, remains just about as tough
and hostile as in the days of Stain.
It is obvious, in any case, that Soviet
words and deeds during the past several
days indicate that the men of the Kremlin
are not seriously interested at this time
in efforts to ease international tensions
Instead, as suggested by their threatful
note to Iran, as well as by developments
like their conduct in Berlin and their
harsh line of talk in India, they seem
deliberately intent upon intensifying
those tensions. One of the immediate
effects Of this has been to cast doubt on
the wisdom of the projected Bulganin-
Khrushchev tour OF Britain next spring.
The doubt Is strong; 1t is also sympto-
matte of the change for the worse in the
world climate. AS the London Daily
Telegraph has put 1t, Possibly the best
way to avoid serious unpleasantness
would be to cancel the visit, which on the
present showing is likely to demand a
truly unpalatable degree of diplomatic
hypocrisy"
In short. thanks to the current char
acter of Soviet behavior, the pre-Geneya
spirit appears to be returning in full
force. As result, unless the Russian
leaders reverse themselves and change
their tune again, the cold war-even II
modified In some wayS-will almost GER
tainly increase in severity In the weeks
ahead, and our own country, together
with the rest Of the free world, must be
prepared to wage 1t as effectively as pos
sible. We have no choice but to do this
and maintain the great armed vigilance
that the situation clearly calls for
throughout the globe, particularly in
Asia and the Middle East, where the Com
munists have obviously stepped up their
trouble making activities. There can be
no relaxation for us In that respect as
long as the Kremlin adheres TO its pres
ent course-a course that Is plainly
blighting mankind's hope for interna-
tional cooperation OF the kind needed
to build a decent peace.

the book of quotations, the advocates Of
intemperateness and extremism will get
some support from Oscar Wilde's perverse
dictum that Moderation is fatal thing;
nothing succeeds Ike excess" But such
contrived cynicism tends to fall apart
when men Ike Thomas Fuller counter 1t
with the ringing affirmation that "Mod-
Grafton is the silken thread running
through the pearl-chain of all virtues"
This is the sort of view that most
Americans probably. agree with in these
days. If so, then Governors Hartman
and Williams have taken an unpopular
stand, and as the political season natures
they may come to regret having chastised
Mr.. Stevenson for indorsing the good rule
of the golden mean.

The siken Thread

One of the stranger manifestations
of current American politics is the
shocked reaction of some Democrats to
Adlai Stevenson's view that moderation
is the spirit of the times and that 1t Is
rather good thing, too.
On It's face, this would seem to be
reasonable and even wise Judgments
Judgment, moreover, that has been voiced
through the ages by most Of the worlds
best minds. But still there are those
Democrats who vigorously dissent. And
outstanding among them-in addition to
former President Truman, of give 'em
hell" fame-are AverelI Hartman and
G. Mennen Williams, respectively the
Governors of the great State of New York
and the great State of Michigan
Thus, as If speaking more in sorrow
than in anger against. the front runner
In the race for their party'S presidential
nomination, these stalwart partisans have
made clear that they regard moderation"
as horrid word. According to Mr. Harri-
man, 1t simply does not belong In the
Democratic vocabulary, and ND. Williams
(popularly known as aSoapy') AYERS that
1lC has DG6u ICI1uETcQ tlCdEO0lCk ny nAIs
Stevenson's use of 1t. Apparently, judging
from their panied remarks, they believe
that to be moderate is tantamount to
being sinful and that the truly virtuous
political campaigner (non- Republican, of
course) must arm himself with intem-
perateness and extrenlism as shield and
sword.
But this Is an attitude that flies in
the face of what nearly every sage has
counseled and admonished for centuries
past. TO illustrate the point, let us take
ourselves now-and let Messrs. Hartman
and Williams come along with us--to the
nearest book of familiar quotations. What
do we find there? We find Seneca saying,
"A great soul prefers moderation to
excess" We find Gambetta declaring that
Moderation Is the reason Of politics"
We find Terence proclaiming that "The
golden rule in life is moderation in all
things" and Plautus warning that "All
excess brings trouble to mankind" FL
nally, among many others of like mind,
we hnd Goethe observing that True
happiness springs from moderation,

Looks q Million Per Cent

Republican National Chairman Hall
was talking like an astute professional
politician when he met news correspond
ents after his conference with President
Eisenhower at Gettysburg His message
was, in brief, that the President looks
a million per cent" and that he thinks
Mr.. Eisenhower viii run for reelection
''if he feels that he is able Beyond that,
Mr.. Hall directed a few critical remarks
at the Democrats. particularly at Gov
ernor Hartman Of New York, and ex-
pressed some rather sweeping confidence
about Republican prospects in 1856.
In all fairness, Mr.. Hall emphasized
to newsmen that his views about Mr..
Eisenhower's post-convalescent appear
ance and his conditional confidence that
the President viii seek reelection were
personal opinions only. A more definitive
finding on the Presidents health will be
made by his doctors late in January, the
Republican chairman explained, and Mr..
Eisenhower win make his own decisions
about his political availability -presum-
ably after that time. Actually, Mr., Hall
added, he was given no clue directly or
indirectly about the Presidents inten-
tionS.
Against this background, however,
Mr.. Halls further comments were inter-
esting and perhaps significant. He said,
as have others who have talked to Mr.
Eisenhower In recent weeks, that the
Presidents interest In current problems
Of government and politics Is q lively and
positive one-the sort that may be inter-
preted as refecting an intention to carry
on. The chairman said they discussed
foreign affairs, the farm problem, party
finances and the 1866 campaign. Within
such an agenda, they covered most Of the
major political questions except for the
makeup of the 1855 Republican presiden-
tial ticket Furthermore, Mr.. Hall said
he will present to the Republican National
Committee meeting In Chicago this week
a direct message from the President.
The most reasonable inference from
all OF this is that Mr.. Eisenhower has not
yet made his decision on whether to run
again. Quite understandably Mr.. Hall
obviously hopes that the President will
be candidate for second term. The
chairman's words and manner at his news
conference reflected an encouragement
Of these hopes. The President has COM
mitted himself to rather full schedule
in forthcoming weeks, including several
medical checkups. Many of the things
he does and says will be subjected to
minute scrutiny for clues about his plans.
1t is unlikely that any of them will be
fully revealing until he decides to make
his own announcement In his own way.
