Show Why Not a Free Ride? The proposed grants of college scholarships by the Federal Fed-eral government could weaken, slow down and finally dry up tbe individual initiative and effort traditional in the higher education field. ' Planning or sending their children to college, families all over the country today are buying insurance policies and setting set-ting money aside for them. Many young people themselves are planning to do, or are doing, part-time work before, during dur-ing and after college to help pay for it. But with the government stepping in with grants, parents par-ents might well be inclined to seek Federal scholarships for their children instead of making personal sacrifices and the young people themselves might well prefer to take a free ride to and through college at government expense to ' working. The main support for education must come in the future, fu-ture, as it has in the past, from state, local and private sources, and from individual effort. |
