Songs were sung for the FHA and a movie, ’ Beauty and The Bride,” was shown. to Congress gets out of session this time, there is going to be a lot of effort put forth to secure millions or toUlions of fed eral tax funds for education on premise that to meet Russian development in rockets, more money should be spent. * • • Tet, It Is p< rhaps time go deeply into just how effi cient are Amer ican education methods befor» letting loose a lot more money. *• • • There is no| question the American peo ple spend more c. w. Harder for youth education than any other nation, past or present. Y’et. as evidenced by the Russian technological advances, such huge expenditures do not seem to be doing the maximum either for the youth or the nation. • • • For one thing, a system hss been developed whereby thou sands of youngsters might truly be said to go to school only to eat lunch. • ao Educational pressure groups, a few decades ago, in their zeal to build up the educational pro fession, were responsible in get ting passed a nurfiber of laws in most states that militate against an efficient educational plajU. • • • * Many states now hav>. laws that make it compulsory for a young ster to attend school until attain ing the age of 18, or until gradu ating from high school. There is nothing that can be done but to keep studies at a sufficient low level so dull student can some how manage to stay In school. • o * Thus, that percentage of the nation's youth that could develop into brilliant scientists, and other professional people, are held (g) NbIIooaI P*d«ntiofl of Independent Bus Intis back by a course of study set at a low level. Thus, harnessing the turtle together with the hare can have no result but developing in time a group of low speed hares, see And In all the hue and cry for trained physicists. It seems to be widely overlooked that Russia must also have some pretty com petent machinists, metal work ers, and other craftsmen. It is pretty well substantiated that only the brightest and most in dustrious students in Russia get classroom privileges. a • • Those who are not competent to become, for example, theo retical physicists, are encouraged to become skilled at a trade. • * • And it also seems obvious that thousands of mediocre white col lar workers turned out each year by the present American educa tional system would be much happier in learning a trade. Of course, the unions have more or less frowned on any apprentice ship system, o * a And it also would seem quite' obvious that the same talent that can be developed into a machin ist capable of turning down a hard steel shaft to a tolerance of 100 one-thousandths of an inch is quite often not the same talent that can memorize the exact data of the battle of Hastings. • « « With eyery local tax bill show ing a sizeable amount for local schools, this rigid examination of the purposes of American edu cation should undoubtedly start at the grass roots level. * • * It appears nation’s taxpayers ark being tapped billions of dol lars in an attempt to jam square pegs into round holes. o*o After all, you ran jam a lot of poetry appreciation courses at a kid who would much rather bo building an engine, and still end up with a kid who lactai any skills and still doesn't like poetry.
