Federal Government seems so anx-
) ious to destroy, pay in taxes to the
schools, towns, counties. States and
the Federal Government much
more than they pay to their owners.
Yet the different governments, all
hearty tax-eaters, all living on tax-
money. all devouring all the taxes
all the time, yet squawking for
more money — these same govern
ments have plans that would
squelch the tax-paying enterprise
and raise up competitors on the

America is thinking of religion on
, a great scale. Of course religion
never changes; we may have So
cialism in Britain and Communism
in Russia; and we may have mil
lions of church members and seek
millions of converts, but religion
is thoroughly individualistic, though
cooperative.
“The Lord is nigh unto them that
are of a broken heart; and saveth
such as be of a contrite spirit.”

Jesus. Nothing is more individual
istic than the sinner standing be-
: fore his Maker.
Here in South Carolina are the
' signs of revived spiritual zeal. Hete
1 are signs of mass efforts which will
i reach the individual heart. Strange
ly enough the individual heart,
multiplied, is the mass effort; and
the mass effort reaches other hearts.
Let’s see what is going on. Our
papers are telling of certain special
; activities among the Presbyterians,
j Methodists and Baptists.
A short time ago the Catholics
were in Columbia in special confer
ences. The other brethren, also, are
always active in carrying on great
programs.
I’ve read of South Carolina young
Presbyterian adults in session.
Among the topics I read that Mr.
Hdimes Simmons, Jr., of Anderson,
discussed “Christ in my Business.”

operation between business and
education may save our private in
stitutions of higher learning and,
at the same time, bring about in
creased profits for business. Educa
tion and business, working hand in
hand, can also make themselves of
greater value to the country in this
national emergency.
One of the soundest ways to pre
serve private enterprise is to give
financial aid to young and needy
potential business executives study
ing in colleges which are especially
appreciative of American business
and sympathetic to its problems.
Most professional colleges of bus
iness have this point of view.
Young men therein educated are
of especial value to business. They
not only learn specialized tech
niques; but they also acquire a
sound philosophy of American bus
iness. Business needs such young
men.
Business also needs the brains and
research facilities of the colleges.
Many small and middle-sized com
panies cannot hope, by themselves,
to keep pace with the research of
big business; but by pooling their
efforts with the colleges, their use-
The College Needs Business
In these times of partial mobil
ization and declining enrollments,
the college needs the help of bus
iness. Education is the bulwark of
democracy. If America is to win the
batle of ideologies, it will be by
brains — not by brawn. The sur
vival of private enterprise is, there
fore, closely tied to the survival of
our educational institutions. To sur
vive, our colleges greatly need the
financial support of business, which
should feel obligated to help keep
our system of higher education.
Colleges today are in a precar
ious position. They are victims of

creased income from tuitions and
inflated costs of operation, plus be
ing buildings-and-land poor, with
income from endowments inade
quate, colleges are having rough
going. Some are already operating
in the red. Many more will lose
money next year. A cooperative
venture between business and ed
ucation is therefore, an intelligent
solution to many of the problems
of both groups.
Ways of Cooperation
Many colleges are already doing
a vast amount of technical research
for government and business: Bos
ton university in optics; Georgia
Tech in areonautical engineering;
U iversity of California in goods;
University of Wisconsin in naval
research; Stanford in radio; Mich
igan State in fuel: Massochusetts
Institute of Technology in manufac
turing; Babson Institute in market
ing — to mention a very few.
Other possible areas of coopera
tion are workshop seminars for top
management. These are custom-
built courses of short duration to
meet specific industry and company
problems in consumer research,
marketing, advertising, product de-

Yale university has pointed the
way in research in labor relations
with its labor-management center.
Whole new areas are practically un
explored — such as atomic war
fare, business decentralization and
traffic problems. Other areas are
job evaluation, job satisfaction, cor
poration conduct, public relations,
organizational communication, cor
porate finance and statistics.
The subject of taxes alone offers
rich possibilities for business-col
legiate cooperation. Taxes have be
come far greater than a legal ques
tion. We have in the U. S. A. one
of the strongest potential working

the research facilities of education
and the wealth facilities of business.
In harness together they can become
invaluable helpmates. Now is the
time to build our team and keep
our country strong.

a NEIGHBOR doesn’t have to live next door
There are more than five and one-half million families joined together in The
Equitable Society, families from every state in the union. In a real sense, they are
all neighbors—close neighbors. n
They’ve banded together in a mutual society to achieve a mutual aim
security. The cooperation of that huge group has created protection and peace of
mind for every individual family.
Mutual cooperation, the cornerstone of neighborliness, enables these families to
enjoy financial security at an expenditure so low it is readily available to almost
everyone—a cost made insignificant thanks to cooperative association.
Yes, the nearly six million neighbors in The Equitable Society come from all
corners of the United States. Actively practicing the friendly code of true neighbor-
liness, they are helping each other to enjoy economic worry-free years, fuller,
happier lives.
