When reference is made to the
present general assembly—to keep
the record straight it should be
pointed out that it was a record-
spending legislature, and this at
the time when President Truman
says w’e are “facing the greatest
authorities—that high school grad
uates are poorly prepared for col
lege work. Entrance examina
tions would raise the standards of
both the high schools and colleges.
College education, which has be
come extremely expensive, would
mean more to those who go on
from high schools to college for
further training and study. There
are many now in high school and
college, who are not interested in
studying as records show, and this

War Propaganda Talk
Why must so much of our for
eign policy be predicated upon
what the British or French, or
some other government thinks?
The question is well in order. The
talk about our “allies" falling
away from us because of this or
that, is little more than Washing
ton propaganda used to sway the
popular judgment. Every citizen
of every one of the anti-Commun-
ist nations in Europe is fully aware
of the fact that he will either be
murdered or enslaved if the Com-
from colleges which would de
crease operating costs of colleges
which taxpayers must pay. Those
who go to college for a good time
and social activities or just plain
leafing, would be reduced in num
ber when they understood that
their matriculation means work.
If the trustees of state-support
ed institutions of higher learning
are sincerely interested in the type
of work they are doing rather than
in seeing how large they can swell
their enrollments — scholastic
standards will be raised. What
applies to state schools is equally
applicable to church schools. Such
examinations as now proposed
should result in better work and
initiative in the high schools, and
in the colleges when these gradu
