' Senator Ball went on to say that Governor Dewey "has opposed delay but has not met squarely the second vital issue. He has spoken for a strong international security organization, but in each speech has so worded his commitment that both internationalists and isolationists could find comfort and support in what he said. I quote that paragraph at length since it is quite possible that you have not seen it in print I copied it from Ball's own statement and because I think a great many people, some of whom supported Mr. Roosevelt, forgot that he was for and that going the "whole hog whole hog in Mr. Balls language and the language of those who are going to fight for this organization in the congress, may mean more than some people realize. It shouldn't to anyone who heard or read Mr. Roosevelt's speech and took it seriously but we dont always take political speeches seriously.

In the Presidents message to patrons, students, and teachers of American schools, he asks that teachers be encouraged in their task of "cultivating free men fit for a free world. For these teachers are the conservators of todays civilization and the architects of tomorrows world of promised peace and progress. They serve within the very citadels of democracy, devotedly whether in war or in peace. "When victory on the fields of battle shall have been achieved, the work yet to be done through our schools will be enormous, the President continues. "I therefore call upon the teachers of America to continue without flagging their efforts to contribute through the schools to that final consummation which alone will make possible of fulfillment all plans of education for new tasks. Realizing that the schools play a vital role both in the prosecution of the war and laying the foundations for the peace, "Education for New Tasks is the theme for the 24th annual observance. Schools' are preparing children and young people for the new tasks which confront our country, states F..L Scblagle. pcesidentpf.the .Nar tional Education association, "the new tasks of making postwar readjustments, maintaining economic security at home, improving intergroup relationships, assuring justice to minority groups, adapting our life to the new technology, and improving community life.

"When the war is over, our country will be faced with a problem of readjustment which in many ways will be as difficult as the problems of mobilization for the war, warns Mr. Schlagle.

Mondays theme, "Winning the War, is a reminder of the wartime job being done by the schools in preinduction training, adjustment of courses to permit pupils to do wartime work, rationing and registration programs, conducting scrap and bond drives, as well as continuing their regular program of education for 25 million American children. Improving Schools for Tomorrow emphasizes the steps needed for improving American education. Equalization of educational opportunity through state and federal aid, payment of adequate salaries to teachers, streamlining the administrative organization of education in many areas, .jand., the building of school 'programs around real life problems are among the pressing needs for better schools in the postwar era. Hope For Enduring Peace. Education is a potent force which can be used for the promotion of peace, underlies Wednesdays top- of Future. American Education Week grew out of the First World War. It was first observed in 1921. Twenty-fiv- e per cent of the men examined in that draft were illiterate; 29 per cent were physically unfit; many were and had little underforeign-bor- n standing of American life. These were startling disclosures. Unfit as they were for war, these men were also incapable of serving their country most effectively in time of peace. Members of the newly formed American Legion wished to correct these conditions. They saw in this situation an opportunity to serve their country after the war. When a campaign of education appeared to be the only answer they consulted the other sponsoring organizations and as a result the first American Education Week was observed. All the new tasks which confront our society as a whole are the ones with which our schools must deal. For the schools are of society and their task is to build society by Mr. developing good citizens, Schlagle further points out.
