Show National Education Week This is the week when the eyes of all Americans are directed to the schools in whose care the education of American children has been placed. This is American Education Edu-cation Week, so proclaimed by the President of our country coun-try and the Governor of our state. How appropriate it is that we spend a week, perhaps even longer, in studying our schools. American education long has been recognized as having a decisive role to play in helping our country hold the line for freedom. The very basis of our democratic government is an alert, well-informed public. A good education, one which truly meets all the needs of the school age population, is one of our best weapons for fighting the attacks of foreign ideologies which seek to destroy the foundation of our - republic. Our schools stand as a constant reminder of the importance of popular popu-lar education in the survival and growth of our form of government. |
