It is the opposite of the truth and it calls forth great resentment from the public. Industry has made very little effort to teach these facts to the public and the price for its neglect may well be the socialism of the centrally planned economy.

What Surveys Show A Denver Post reporter recently completed a loeal survey of employers, parents, teachers, and administrators. She asked for opinions about the products of todays schools. Her . findings, rather than heaping more undeserved praise on modem youth, pointed to a completely opposite conclusion. Specifically, she said that high school graduates are, in numbers some say are alarming, unable to spell, write, use language correctly and do simple math well enough to handle college work or begin a job. The reporter quoted University of Denver Chancellor Maurice Mitchell as follows: Im appalled by the general trend of nearly all college applicants who have enormous deficiencies. They are afraid of math and science, and they write and speak in an informal manner which shows that they have no real understanding of their language. . . . Adding to her case, she cited statistics which showed a large increase in the number of college freshmen who need remedial courses in basic subjects, and the increasing numbers of high school graduates who, when applying for a job, cant even fill out an application form or pass simple math or English tests. .

That, of course, would greatly simplify Dr. Kissingers task in reaching total agreement with the Soviets regarding a new world order. But that is exactly what the Allied Governments do not want, the informant told Washington Observer. And that is why Kissinger and Schlesinger have found no takers for their scheme among the other NATO governments. NOTE. A Government official who sits in on g conferences had the followsecret ing comments for WO: Dr. Kissingers tactics toward Portugal are peculiar, but they arc certainly not astonishing. Just now his prestige, his standing, is nil here as well as abroad. But whipping our NATO allies into line, even at the cost of helping the Soviets to leap-fro- g into Portugal, would refurbish it here. To many it would be proof that he is indeed the diplomatic genius he was billed to be. Moreover, it has been g a covert policy of the U.S. Government to trr to satellitize our NATO allies. We have tried to head off the development of French nuclear weapons to make the French dependent on us for their defense and accordingly subservient, and we have tried to make the British give up their nuclear forces for the same reason. We covertly subsidized the British movement. Encounter magazine of London, which b was active in this agitation, was bankrolled by the CIA. What Kissinger is trying to do is certainly not in the interests of the World, nor in the interests of the United States. But it is nothing new and is not with the official thinking here. And if he succeeds, it will certainly help him and President Ford recoup prestige because their role in pushing Portugal into the arms of the Kremlin would not be publicized. long-standin- Life Business Copyright 1975 by The John Birch Society Features policy-makin- NIMMAGE 484-351- 1 Too Much Government There was a time when competition in the field of education produced excellent schools. But federal aid has so upped the cost of education that many private schools have been driven out of existence. And government at all levels has forced existing school systems to abandon their emphasis on basic skills. We are fast arriving at a situation where only one school system will exist and it will be run by bureaucratic educationists in Washington. The present younger generation has been victimized by too much government in education. The beginning of a solution is to get the federal government out of it. Not to do so is to assure that the United States will soon be overrun with ignoramuses. Continued from page dear-boug- ht -- George Why The Declining Abilities? Professional educators and school psychologists not withstanding, there is a very serious problem in America. Simply stated, our young people are not being educated. Instead, they are daily subjected to experimentation, indoctrination, and boredom. At the primary level, when they should be gaining a solid foundation in reading, writing, math, and grammar, they are subjected to huge doses of radical views on everything from economics to ecology; taken on trips to places like the local potato chip factory; forced to submit to sensitivity training bashes; required to learn all about sex; and bused all over town to satisfy a few highly placed racist revolutionaries. By the time they reach high school, they are educational basket cases.
