We don't take the dark view. More young
people are seeking an elementary education
today than ever before However, many of
them are Just going to school, because
they have no other place to GO Laws for
bid employment under 16 years old, and
require school attendance until l6 years
old. The fallacy of the present educational
concept is that everyone is spurred to seek
a college education and when collegiate
degree is earned, the recipient is due a
living without work--that is manual work.
A young college graduate asked us recent
ly. What is the first thing | should do
now that | have my degree" Our answer
was, Forget you have degree and go to
work, wherever you can find it. If you have
learned anything it will stand you we'll, if
not you will soon know it,
We believe every youngster should have
as much formal instruction as he will studi-
ously earn. 1t will put him in position to
become educated. Education comes with
practical application Of the training Of
mind or hands received in school or col
leges.. Every youngster should have the OPP
poltulltv OnQef tne present system we
are forcing too many to do what they don't
wish to do and in some cases don't have the
ability to do. The entire educational Sys-
tenn could stand review.
How Mr. Stevenson proposes to pay for
the billions in new school buildings. and
further billions Institutional aids, is more
than we can see. when none of the educated
leaders now in the government or in con
greSS can figure out how to balance the
national budget. Tax and tax is the only
way and if taxes are increased much more
different kind of education will have to
be instituted so that the taxpayer can make
enough to pay the taxes.
1t is knotty question which can not
be resolved by Mr.. Steyenson's program of
federal aid.

Federal Education
PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE ADLAI

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE A D l. A
L STEVENSON gave education thorough
gong-over Friday night in & speech in Mil
waukee Wisconsin. He contended that the
Republican administration has produced
no action and no results in meeting "a very
grave danger to our country'-a crisis
in education. He said we are going to have
to draw on federal tax funds for part of
the money TO pay our education bill. :. The
nation can't afford to be "penny-wise and
people foolish
Mr.. Stevenson painted dreary picture.
He said the Eisenhower administration had
d one little more than call conferences
to look into the school problem. The result
is the now too familiar symptoms of
today's teen-age America, which he de-
scribes as "the roaring cut-out of the
hot rod car, teen ayers beer cans
streWn along the road side, juke box blues
dishing up love and religion in Identical
groanne tones the rural delivery mail box
ripped off Just for laughs. switch blade
in the hands Of a city teenaged gang boy"
Mr. Stevenson has maligned the present
day youth. It must be admitted that one
hears and reads lot about the reckless
American youth, but he, nor anyone else,
can tell US that these niSdeeds of Ameri-
can boys and girls are typical. 1t may be
in Chicago, but not universal. The present
generation Of American youth is intelligent,
we'll deported and ambitious. They need
instruction. they need training, they need
help and Leadership -they need to be
taught the fundamentals Of government, Of
sociology, of religion and the art of living.
If the youth is as degraded AS Mr.. Steven
son indicates then the present system of
education (more money IS spent on educa-
ton than ever before) needs to be reviewed.
constructively and critically. There would
be little need to give them more of the same
thing.

ships is expected to be mere for

ing. Member institutions again
