Our Changing Times

A televlSion hufnorlSC re-
Gently dramatized the quickly
developing gulf between the
vocabulary, concepts and hui
NOR of one generation and
those of the next. in these,
fast-moving times, with the
following story.
A teacher was greeted by a
pupil with Hey. teacher!"
She said, Il think you owe
me an apology" The boy
stared at her. Thinking to be
a bit humorous, she said.
Hay is for horses" The boy
continued to stare, so the
teacher went on. Don't you
know the meaning Of AN
apology'?" The boy replied.
Lady, / didn't even know
that hay is for horses"
just as the teacher with
her horSe-and-b uggy-era
background had difficulty
communicating with the
automobile-age child, so SUI
perintendent Of Schools Carl
F. Hansen, with his iron -age
frame of reference, was I'M
able to communicate with
the child of the atomic age
when he visited an elemen-
tary school classroom and
saw a unit on transportation
being developed, as reported
in The Star, September 20.
The "shocker" to the superin-
tendent was that the children
did not know the title of
the man who drove the en-
gine-that is, the engineer.
This set him of on a general
criticism Of the unit method
Of teaching, its underlying
psychology and its philosophy
Instead of taking time to
ponder the situation as a true
educator might have done,
the superintendent rushed
headlong into the headlines
to threaten action against
what he calls too progress

The concept Of the word

change in peoples thinking
these days. Children know
various kinds Of engineers,
but since railroads are taking
secondary place. youngsters
can hardly be blamed, nor
can young teachers, If the
idea Of an engineer is seldom
now connected with Casey
Jones. Indeed, whether the
locomotive engineer ever was
a full-fiedged engineer as we
know him today (construc-
ton. electrical. atomic) is
highly doubtful. To attack

For the Record

In a letter to The Star,
Roy j. Santag repeats the
myth that Dean Acheson,
when Secretary of State,
stated that Korea was OUT
side of the territorial interests
of the United States and
thereby invited the North
Korean invasion of South
Korea. What Mr.. Acheson
said was: This defensive
perimeter runs along the
Aleutians to Japan and then
goes to the Ryukyus." This
sentence excludes Korea.
However, two paragraphs
later, Mr.. AcheSon also said:
so far as the military
security of other areas in the
Pacific is concerned, it must
be clear that no person can
guarantee these areas against
military attack. But it must
also be clear that such a
guarantee is hardly sensible
or necessary within the realm
of practical relationship.
Should such an attack occur
one heSitates to say where
such an armed attack could
come from-the initial reli-
ance must be on the people
attacked to resist it and then
upon the commitments of the
entire civilized world under
the Charter of the United
Nations which so far has not
proved a weak reed to lean on
by any people who are deter
mined to protect their indie
pendence against outside
aggression. dept. OF state
Bulletin xxi, p. 116)
Plainly, Mr.. Acheson was
not saying "that Korea was
outside the territorial inter-
ests of the United States, or
words to that effect" or that
what happened in Korea was
of little concern to the United
States" to quote Mr.. San
tags letter. Furthermore,
by the speech Communists
were not thus publicly as
sured that the United States
would not interfere" The
speech makes it perfectly
clear that the United States
would interfere through the
medium of the United Ma
tons. President Truman's
action in June, 1850, was moi
only not a reversal of Score.

in this very speech.

Praise Thee most for things

For our prophets and apostles
Loydl to the living tDord,
For all heroes OF the spirit
Gipe De thanks to Thee, o

But what is the secret OF
the Lord? And who can know
it? Does the great God OF
earth and sea and sky have
a secret that He would whis-
per to humans made in His
image? The saints of the
ages answer, YES" The
Holy Book of the ages
answers, yes" Through its
sacred pages there sings and
sobs and signs a secret that
the seeking God is striving
to impart. That secret is
mirrored in that which Hen
ny Drummond declared the
greatest thing in the world
love. The secret of the
Lord is that "the heart of the
eternal is most wondrously
kind" and that there is no
barrier anywhere that love
cannot burn away.
AS pilgrims of the night We
come to Signpost pointing
the way to that secret. 1t
reads, THE secret Of the
Lord is with them that fear
Him" Let us be careful.
We must follow this road
reverently, discreetly and

grasping for the secret Of
the Lord. Now, there is a
spiritual quest which loses
reverence; but, alas, if we
lose reverence We lose the

so Years Ago

A vice presidential candi-
date was trying out some
thing new in the way Of
campaigning so years ago.
On September %, 1908, The
Star reported, in a story
from Chicago: "A somewhat
novel campaign by trolley
through Illinois towns was
begun today by James E.
Sherman, vice presidential
nominee, who left here for
Watseka, where he delivered
an address. After the
Danville meeting, William B.
Mckinley will place at the
disposal of Mr.. Sherman a
private car which will carry
the campaign party on vari-
GUS trolley lines connecting
Champaign. Monticello. and
other towns. :.
A Government man OF SO
years ago was bemoaning a
tangle that has beset Govern
ment men before and since.
On September %. 1908, The
Star reported: The elimina-
ton of red tape in connection
with the awarding of District
contracts is recommended by
Daniel E. Garges, chief clerk
in the engineer department,
in his annual report to the
Commissioners today. There
is an overabundance of rou-
tine connected with contracts
which results in delay and

100 Years Ago

This paper a century ago
was bemoaning the fact that
more women we're not taking
advantage of a modern in
vention. On September %,
1858, The Star said: Though
already the country seems to
be full of sewing machines
for they are to be seen at
every turn-it is really sur
prising how few families have
come to avail themselves of
their assistance in Tightening
labor of their female mem
bers. Those in the various
trades that not long ago
required many needles in
human hands, have every
where. where they do extern
sive business, resorted to the
sewing machine: and in so
doing, instead of lessening
the demand for female labor,
have been compelled to en-
ploy thousands of women and
girls at advanced wages. :"
The Capitol was getting a
touch-up 100 years ago. The
Star, on September %, 1858,
reported: 1.-THE new dome Of
the Capitol is being put in
trim for the winter by a coat
Of white paint. which not
only serves to protect the
iron from rust, but to give it
a very neat and graceful ap-
pearance. The completion of
the second section, upon
which the workmen are now
engaged, carries the new
dome up to within a few feet
Of the height of the old
dome"

NAACP Sees Election Results
Helping Civil Rights Fight

The results of the elections,
viewed as a whole. are eneourag-
ing to the advocates Of civil
rights and may enhance the
possibility of securing an effec-
tive anti-filibuster rule in the
Senate at the opening of the
Both Congress- Roy Wilkins, Ma
ACP executive secretary. said in
q post-election statement.
The NAACP leader also indi-
Gated that "the chances of re-
jecting proposals to curb the SUI
preme Court may have been inn
proved" as a result of the cleo
ton inasmuch as some Of the
strongest advocates of such leg
islation will not be returning
TO Congress.
The text of Mr.. Wilkins state
ment follows:
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie is heartened by the election
results which it views on the
whole, as a triumph for liberia
lism and an affirmation of civil
right. There is regret for the loss
Of Governor Averell Hartman
who has been in the forefront
Of the fight for civil rights in
the councils of the national
Democratic party. But the cleo
tion of Nelson Rockefeller places
in Albany a man who, in his
own right as we'll as by family
tradition, is committed to efforts
to improve race relations and to
the support of civil rights.
Senator-elect Kenneth 3. Keat-
ing of New York Is the author
of the Civil Rights Act of 1857
and has consistently played a
leading part in the fight for such
legislation in the House of Rep
resentatives even though there
was only a handful of Negro
voters among his constituents in
his congressional district. SINH
larly, the election to the Senate
of former Rep Hugh Scott of Penn
sylvania adds another strong CIV
il rights voice in the Senate.
