We, in this country should be concerned for education of everyone. every-one. Almost one-half of the peoples of the world can neither read nor write. Health and suspicions among peoples are some of the -world's great problems. Billions of dollars are spent dn watching other people but much less is spent in learning to live together. Man everywhere has a spark of divinity in him. U.N. is a place where people can come together and talk things over. It is a cooling off place, our greatest hope in helping us to keep peace. More changes have taken place in the world since World War. II than itoo'k place in all history before. be-fore. Our greatest contest now is the contest of knowledge.
