don't want my childrcn's children
to go through a couple of centuries
of dialectic materialism before the
sun comes up again.
So the Jeremiahs haven't been
so wrong, after all. It is sad to
watch the beginnings of decay 1t
is sad to sec an Age of Pericles
replaced by the drunken riots of
Alcibiades. There was, indeed, just
cause for gloom when into the
palaces of the Caesars went Nero
and Caligula, and when the once
noble Praetorian Guard became a
gang of assassins willing to sell
the throne to the top bidder.
Alaric's Goths finally poured
over the walls of Rome. But it was
not that the walls we're low. 1t was
that Rome. itself, was low. The
sensual life of Pompeii the orgies
on Lake Trasimene, the gradually
weakened fibre of once self
disciplined people that reduced
them at last to seeking safety in
mercenaries and the payment of
tributc-all these brought Rome
down. She went down too early.
She had much TO teach the WOcld.
And so, ladies and gentlemen,
I look upon our own country and
much that | see disturbs me. But
we are a great people. We have
noble tradition. We have much
to teach the world, and if Ameri-
ca should 90 down soon it would

much the leaders of the Com
munist conspiracy may lie to their
subjects about our motives, about
our conditions of prosperity, about
our policies and aims, one thing
they believe implicitly-and that
is that we are in an advanced state
of moral decline.

of current Communist faith that
America is Sodom and Gomorrah,
l'ipcning for tie kill.
Do you know what scares me
about the Communists? IT. is not
their political system which is
primitive and savage. 1t is not
their economic system which
works so badly that progress in
a few directions is purchased at
the price of progress in all The
rest. It is their puritanism. Il is
their dedication and self-sacriGice.
1t does no good to comfort our
selves with the reflection that
these are products of endless
brainWaShings of incessant prop
uganda, of deprivation, of censor
ship and jamming of countcr-in-
formation and contrary arguments
The dedication is there. The cen
fidence that they are morally SUI
perior is there.
The naive questions of your In
tourist guide reveal only too quick
ly that she thinks she is talking
to a self-indulgent fop from the
court of some latter-day Louis
XIV. In the school yard the chill
dren rush up to show you, not
their yo-yos, but their scholarship
medals. And when you offer them
new Lincoln pennies as souvenirs
they rip off their little Young
Pioneer buttons and hand them to
you, proud that they are not tax
ing gifts, but are making fair
exchange.
The Russian stage is as austere
as the Victorian stage Russian
literature may be corny but ii is
clean, and it glorifies the Russian
people and eXudCs optimism and
promise. Russian art is stiffly rep
rcsentational, but the paintings
and the sculpture strive to depict
beauty and heroism-Russian
beauty of course, and Russian
heroiSm.
Our progressive Education"
And what Of us?
Well, ladies and gentlemen lets
take them one at a time.
We are now at the end OF the
third decade of the national IN
sanity known as progressive edu-
cation" This was the education
where the report cards were non
cOmmittal lest the failure be faced
with the fact of his failure, where
all moved at a snail pace like a
transatlantic convoy so that the
sloWest need not be left behind
and all proceeded toward adult
hood in the lockstep Of together
ness" Thus the competition that
breeds excellence was 70 be sac
rificed for the benefit of some
thing called life adjustment
With what results? We have
watched juvenile delinquency
climb steadily. We have produced
tens of thousands of high school
graduates who move their lips as
they read and cannot write a CO.
herent paragraph. While our Rus
sian contemporaries, who were
supposed to be dedicated to the
mass man, have been busy con-
structing an elite, we have been
engaged in the wholesale produc-
ton of mediocrity. What a switch.
When was the last time you, as
editors and publishers, examined
the curricula of your local schools?
How did your schools rank on the
standardized Iowa tests? When
have you looked at your schools
report cards and the philosophy
behind their grading sysaem? Have
you asked to examine any senior
English themes? Have you offered
any recognition to your schools
best scholars to compare to the
RECOGNITION YOU accord YOUR
schools best football players?
