Editor’s Letters (Continued from page four) mental and physical training (with all the restrictions) to make better disciplined citizens. One attribute which I find pre valent in most schools is that the majority is only interested in con forming to the educating system. One is guaranteed of two things if the prescribed courses are taken for graduation in a school: one is a diploma, the other is—not to have an education. If the instructors are authorities on the subject, I would think it wise to get more than my money’s worth from them. Anyone can con- from to the system, but it takes one with greater interest to chal lenge the system and conform to it at the same time. We have too many conforming, especially to bad habits, in the world today. Prob ably bad habits are involved in the 60,000 new cases each year that enter mental institutions, the 30,- 000 suicides and the one half mil lion that pass through our courts into jails each year. One of the greatest handicaps to progress for us (the younger gener ation) is the bad habits of the older generation. These habits tend to be an iron curtain which we must forge through in order to progress. Our adopting these same habits and conforming to them will hinder the next. . I think many would agree with me that editorials are not neces sarily to conform to the ideas of the majority as one who was re cently seeking editorship of THE DAILY TAR HEEL put forth. So for reading which will make some think, keep the fine work up and 1 will be one of your regular readers always.
