"400,000 Students Must
Abandon Their Education”
“400,000 students in Europe and
Asia must receive material aid this
yi'ar or else abandon thoir education.”
All abandonment of the education
of the 400,000 students of Europe
would mean a loss of doctors, en
gineers, scientists, teachers, and
other professional people who are
needed to hold the pcace together.
The amount asked of the TTnited
States is $1,000,000—half of the $2,
000,000 minimum necessary for the
international World Student Relief
program. The World Student Ser
vice Fund program of the different
schools and colleges is in action at
this very moment.

One Small Voice
An article in this month^s Atlantic
presents .Tohn Jay Chapman as an
important figure in American pro
gress. The author calls him a critic
first class, philosophical writer,
sociologist, and humorist, and quotes
copiously from Chapman whose chief
concern was the American mind.
Chapman contended that * ^ the
American is incapable of taking a
real interest in anything . . . the
lack of passion in the
American comes from habitual men
tal distraction.”
Obviously Mr. Chapman spoke to
posterity. His generality has univer
sality! Had he been a college under
graduate in tlie trying year of
1947, he could not have spoken W'ith
more empirical insight. To make his
statement more particular, apply it
to Salem students. How can they
take a real interest in “things”?
For instance, many of tlie best mov
ies of the year have come to Win
ston recently; there are unlimited
possibilities for planning and pro
ducing bigger and better decorations
for the dances; stunt night with its
aci-ompanying potentialities is ap
proaching; by the end of this month
the weather will be exactly right
for sunbathing; most of the nearby
colleges are having midwinters this
month—spring dances will probably
start in March; etc., etc.
How can normal Salemitcs take a
real interest in any of these things
with the “habitual mental distrac
tion” that confronts them in the
form of daily classes, assignments,
quizzes, and term jiapers?
