It is here like nowhere else in the world from the Kindergarten and Primary school to the university.

Like any living thing It needs sustenance and favorable environment to attain its highest and best development. The important thing is for all of us to be school-minded. Much has been accomplished. Much remains to be done in doing well and better the things we know how to do in the education of our children. Let us then be school-minded.

In recent years much has been said on the negative side, pointing out its faults and deficiencies. This article will deal with it on the positive side, pointing out some of its unparalleled virtues and services to our country. An increasing number of thinking people in our country have come to the conclusion that it is time to stand up and speak up for the good in our way of life, and go to work to make it better, quit fol- A JOHN STAHl PRODUCTION She will talk on "Ten Tips on Good Pictures."

Lack of school building facilities, overcrowded classrooms, neglect' of physically and the mentally handicapped children, and serious emotionally upset children have been stressed by puKic school critics as faults and failures. Many other negative views could be cited. It must be admitted that there are improvements which need to be made. Many school districts need new buildings, more classrooms, new seating, better lighting, heating and ventilating, sanitation, teaching equipment, and more and better qualified teachers. But these facilities and personnel can be had if the people really want them and are willing to pay for them.

It is a responsibility of locai and state initiative to provide school facilities their children should have. Let us now look on the positive side. No other country has ever presented to its people as free and serviceable a system of public schools as we have. No other country has ever spent so freely from its treasuries a like amount of money for public education for all of Its people, as we have. No other country can match our privately endowed schools, colleges and universities.

It is a part of the free-enterprise way of our American life. It is the solid foundation of our educational opportunity from here on.

Our educational opportunity is to support and extend what we have, improve it as and defend it against destructive forces of political subversion. Here are some things we can do for example: We can encourage competent young people of attractive personality to prepare themselves for teaching. This can be done by making teaching attractive and honoring it as a profession. Instead of bewailing "the teacher shortage," let us exercise our opportunity to encourage young people to enter teaching service. We can fact facts of federal control and refuse to surrender our schools for government hand-outs.
