Education in a democratic
society requires the train
ing of all the children, all
the people to the develop
ment of the many skills re-
quired in our highly COM
pick and divergent world,
Our needs, therefore. cover
the skilled and the unskilled.
We need a literate society
that knows and believes in
our struggle to achieve our
democratic state, the prin-
cipleS under which our Gov
eminent operates and those
of our capitalistic free enter
prise, and the ability Of our
people to work and live in
peace and amity. Above all.
we need leaders to mould
our democratic heritage into
a working society for the
people of the world to respect
and emulate.
The advent Of the Age Of
Sputnik was a rude shock
to Americans. We immedi-
ately began a crash program
to catch up militarily to the
Russians. Looking around Cor
an explanation as to why the
inferior" Russian was able
to beat us to the space age.
we discovered that the Rus
slams were devoting more
time to science and math
than our secondary schools
do, hence they are training
more scientists than we are.
Ipso facto, our educational
system must stress science
and math and to that end
Congress, our President and
even some educators joined
in the public clamor so that
our lawmakers have come UP
with a Federal law to help
our schools train more SCI
entists.
A careful survey Of our
educational system would
have disclosed many weak
nesses-a shocking lack Of
able teachers, doctors, en-
gineers, skilled artisans. We
need more schools, and above
all, a better educated public
and ADLER leaders. Education
for democracy requires a
better and more general edu-
cation than a dictatorship in
terested in destruction, sub
version and atheistic slavery.
Germany under the Kaiser
and Nazi Hitler also special
lied in scientific education
and its contribution was two
world wars with the great
est destruction of property
and the slaughter and butch
cry of millions. Is this the
false god that we are to fol-
low?
We need, deserve and can
afford a better educational
system. We must learn more
about the factors that deter
mine peoples thoughts and
actions-we must develop
ADLER leaders-we must find
new and better techniques to
win the minds and hearts Of
people-we must find ways
of getting the truth to all
people-we must learn to
live and work together in
peace and brotherhood with
all people. That is the ;ry-
ing need Of the space age. 1t
is in this facet of education
that we need a crash pro-
gram. If America can afford
to arm and protect the free
world, it can afford an edu-
cationsl system to make our
country and our world a bet
ter place to live in. The re-
cent aid to education bill
fails miserably to meet the
challenge of the Space Age
and to provide Americans
with the kind Of education
for a democratic society that
we must have to survive and
to maintain our leadership Of
the free world.

Not since the days Of Mar
tin Van Buren, has q Vice
President OF the United
States been elected Presi-
dent-a period Of l22 years.
In that time seven Vice
Presidents have reached the
White House through the
death Of the Presidents with
whom they we're elected.
Three Of them later were
elected President in their
own right - Roosevelt the
first. Coolidge and Truman.
For the first time since
Van Buren'S day an incum-
bent Vice President is re-
garded as q front-runner for
his partys presidential NOM
nation. Apparently the
Democrats, as well as the
Republicans. look upon Rich
ard M. Nixon as the probable
COP nominee in 1860. For
in the Democratic Fact
Book" issued by the Demo-
cratic National Committee
for use in the present politi-
cal campaign, seven out OF So
pages are devoted to tearing
the Vice President down. He
is the man, obviously, the
Democrats figure they have to
defeat.
Vice President Nixon, for
his part, is soon to enter the
present campaign in a big
way. Despite efforts Of his
friends to get him to soft
pedal or straddle on some OF
the issues which confront the
country today, Mr.. Nixon Is
going into a free-swinging
campaign, as he always has
done in the past. Already he
has engagements for major
appearances in Los Angeles.
San Francisco and other
cities in his own State Of CAL
ifornia where Senator Know
land, Republican leader of the
Senate, is waging a desperate
and uphill battle for Gov
ernor.
Mr.. Nixon's own political
future may hang on the out
come in this second most
populous State of the Union.
He also has engagements to
speak in Indianapolis-his
port of call on September
29-in Philadelphia, in Co.
lumbus, Ohio, and in Lincoln,
Nebr.
Has Strong Friends
This is only a beginning
however. For his help has
been requested by Repub-
licans in many other States
Already the Vice President
has many strong friends in
the Republican organization
throughout the country. Al
present there is no other
Republican on the horizon to
challenge him. If Nelson A,
Rockefeller should be elected
Governor of New York OF
Senator Knowland, Governor
of California. or both, the
picture could change. The
Senator, however. has indi-
Gated in the past he will sup
port Mr.. Nixon for the presi-
Dental nomination two years
hence.
In some measure, Mr.. Nix
on's campaign this year-al-
though he is not running for
any Office in the November
4 election-must be .consid-
cred a warming-up gallop
for 1860. 1t gives him not
only an opportunity to solid
ify his hold on the COP,
but also to impress the voters
