Education Softer the cWar Because of the complication of post-war life, edu- cation will cover a larger field and a longer time than it formerly did. Basically, the curriculum will undergo little change. Alterations in the typical work situation, from that of the family working at home to paid work away from home will make work experience a necessary part of high school education. In most families children will not get experience at home. Work habits need to be created before adulthood, and young people need to be aided in finding their interests and tolents These are best discovered through expe- rience in different types of work. Pupils of high school age need guidance in select- ing a vocation, therefore work experience is necessary as part of their schooling. The change from hand work to work by machine has lessened opportunities for the pupils to have this experience. If you were adequately trained to use leisure time for creative expression in the school, the need to express them- selves through some form of creative activity would be met. Because of the decrease of opportunities to culti- vate knowledge of healthful living and because of its increased importance in modern society, the schools should provide means of acquiring this knowledge essential to good living. The school has an important role to play in help- ing the pupil to cultivate right attitudes toward other persons, which are essential for successful association with others. Also good citizenship, as well os an un- derstanding of the requirements of national security and preparation for participation in national defense should be stressed. Needs for adults will also have to be considered in a post-war school program. Many older people will realize the importance of education and will want to further their education in making life richer and fuller and in gettipg good jobs. This will constitute some changes. Besides changes in a social way, the schools have changed in that they have new and better implements of teaching. Many are equipped with radios, record- ings, movie machines, modern laboratories, shops, and libraries, which make teaching more effective. Then, too, the United States will be able to offer an education of better quality, accessible to all, after the war, because of the adequate national income of post-war periods. Some recommendations suggested by the Novem- ber, 1943, The Notion's Schools are: 1. All youth be assured of an elementory and high school education. 2. Available nursery schools and kindergartens. 3. Equal access to a college education according to ability and needs of society. 4. Part-time education for adults through correspon- dence study, forums, libraries, broadcasts, etc. 5. Expand special instruction for children who need it. 6. Quality of education made adequate to meet needs of a democratic nation. 7. Those returning from armed forces be given op- portunity to return for civilian life or to continue education from where it was interrupted. 8. Meals, supervised work and play projects be made available before and after school hours for chil- dren. 9. Building construction ond repair meet the needs of education at all levels. 10. Expands transportation facilities for pupils in rural areas. 11. U. S. Office of Education ond state departments of education be expanded. 12. That inequality of the tax burden for education within and among the states be reduced through the distribution of state and federal funds on the basis of need. Page 16
