SCHOOL EDUCATION
Sir, —Apropos, the discussion on the above subject, the enclosed, copied from an English journal just to hand, is of interest. England apparently is uneasy, too. —I am, etc., C. D.
It is strange that education, once a theme for admiration, now' produces Irritation, aggravation, consternation, while the cranks of every station talk of It without cessation, sing It like an incantation, offer it as an oblation, make of it a peroration, build on it an exhortation; say they want emancipation, or, by way of variation, risk the ills of palpitation, while they shriek disapprobation, tear their hair in desperation, and declare that ruination follows acts of confiscation such as those In contemplation. All this childish altercation springs from those whose moderation equals their discrimination when there's need for toleration. Can’t the wlsehoads of the nation earn the right to an ovation, and from sheer commiseration bring us back to education. —The Christian World, July 13, 1944.
