EDITORIAL After graduation from high school, each person chooses a certain road on which to travel for the rest of his life. The majority, after a while, marry and settle down to the task of raising a family. These people try to give everything they can to aid in any way the welfare of his child. They try to do this by giving the child everything he wants, forgetting some of the most important factors. For example, we have the child’s school life. This is usually taken for granted by most parents as being infallible. The rest, if they have any complaints, are usually convinced that the fault rests with the child since the child usually hasn’t much to say. Children educated in this way do not learn to enjoy school but learn to hate it. We are living in a modern time, and education should be adapted to that factor. Courses cannot be presented to today’s pupil as they were to pupils of twenty-five or thirty years ago. The pupil of today leads a different life, and therefore thinks differently about things than they did. Today’s pupil learns more, if he reasons things out for himself; he likes to ask questions and he expects these questions to be answered plainly and sincerely with facts. Most cities of the United States are testing various methods of education. They teach their pupils to think for themselves, so that when these people are settled in life by themselves they will not be easy prey for slick talking individuals. They will not listen to un-American or undemocratic propaganda and swallow it up like an ostrich who will eat everything, but then hide his head when it comes time for him to express his feelings. People of any part of America should not tolerate any type of education that will lead the future generation to this end. They should take a more active part in election of school committeemen who are not afraid to break tradition once in a while when the time necessitates and who advocate making sensible and free thinking Americans, not ostriches, out of the children of America. Their motto should be “A free thinking and sensible America through proper methods of Education.” JOSEPH CASTRO
