editorial wanted education for i agree with the first part of the editorial 100 in which you say our record of education and in which you compare the billions spent in teaching murder As against the few thousands spent for teach ing you Are right on the As a teacher of ten years the last seven of which were As a director of athletics and coach in a High i think i know just a Little of what it is All and i resent some of the remarks you made in the last part educators will inherit the worlds biggest you Are wrong if this whole mess is to be avoided that Job is for today not tomorrow what Are we going to do with the present generation of just skip them and where Are your educators and Why Are they there could it be that they have been told that their Job is not for More on this i refer you to the readers article revolt Tou realize that those Guys and gals with the Tortoise hell As you Call them spend from 4 to 6 years training for the and in return for it Are on the less than per and that year after Yea on top of that they must add to this on time taken from their summer by at their own additional and do you realize that these same tortoiseshell year after year have observed both boys and girls drop out of school anywhere from the fifth Grade on up and Start at unskilled or Semi skilled jobs with More pay than they them selves were getting after years of work and training in their profession How can you say these any of were in the business for their Board and summer vacation their future is As secure As the average scrub woman and consequently Only those who were in it for the Good Thev could do have remained in Joe actually education is no More popular than the army is in our it is a form of Asci Pline which is forced on most and which few will put up with once

in entire agreement that tomorrows educators will inherit the worlds biggest Job and that we must teach peace and love and life As efficiently As War and Ste and but the cynical implication As to the method of achieving these objectives is Apall ing because you Are advocating exactly the same educational ideas that were advanced and largely followed after the last less hieroglyphics and More i is a pity that the editor marred an otherwise excellent editorial by subscribing to the unthinking condemnation of the Albert it is not altogether a pleasant reflection that in the past few years we have been Able to organize More efficiently to kill than we were Ever organized to aaa education in the has not neither has it Ever had the full Power of the people and the Public purse behind the people the spend More for chewing gum each year than is spent for All the Public schools in the More Money is spent for tobacco each year than is spent maintain ing All of our country col Leges and and the Money spent for cosmetics in any one year would support the combined private and Public school and College system of the United states and Wallace in May i say that the Little red school House has produced the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the it has also produced the most peace yet the Best  Man in the Are you trying to infer that the worlds troubles Are of our making today War can hardly be Laid to the Amer ican system of Edmund you use the following words to advocate a change of classroom times demand new with less latin and More less syntax and More less hieroglyphics and More along with the study of syntax and hieroglyphics the Stu dents automatically absorb much of citizenship and i doubt very much if president Roosevelt Ever took courses in life citizenship or it
