But is this always wi.se or neces.sary? In business we find the same story, but thousands of independent merchants survive because they render a service the larjrer units cannot. Tliis is often true of the smaller schools too. Many small schools in Texas are doing a superb job of teaching and training their pupils, while many larger schools are devoting their efforts to reducing the size of their In the larger the students are besiegfxl by their time is by the demands of outside clubs, organizations, and other such activities. This is seldom true in the small school, where community life is centered around functions. This, it seems, is an admirable service the larger units cannot i.eaguer.

Rut, this aside, what me was the evident assumption by the aiithors that collectivism is snnerior to freedom. The program attempted to show 'w'e in eomnarison with Russia. The narrator said Russion universitv yraduates have to three years following at whatever task the government as'iiims them. He then added that, to us, this may like compulsion that, even if it is, compulsion is not really so bad. And then, the close of the program, the statement was made that we should willingly submit to higher taxes and additional controls in order to overhaul Russia.

These apparent counsels to adopt collectivism in order to excel it outweigh, in my estimation, whatever merit the program had. It is precisely because we have had too murh paternalism that we are in our current unenviable situation. And the of the is no cure. What we need is not to more like Russia, but more like the nation under Ood that the Founding Fathers were reaching for when they staked their lives on the principles of the Declaration of Independence. the AIR CONDITIONING CORNER by (ieorge Q.
