Page Two High Life November 30, 1962 A Proud Tradition Of Educational Struggles AN APPUE. FOR TfeACHE-RS Federal aid to education in sec ondary schools and colleges has become an increasingly impor tant piece of legislation for the United States Congress, both as a method of improving educational resources and also as a tool of politi cal manipulaiton. The legislation for this aid was not passed by Congress, mainly because of Congressional Committee action which kept the bill locked in cold storage. Another factor in its inabihty to reach the House floor was the controversy of whether United States Government money should help institutions sup ported and directed by religious or ganizations. What concerns students are the benefits, if any, that this financial assistance would bring to them. With such assistance, the municipal or state dollars which presently are the entire means of support for many schools and school systems would be made more valuable and profitable for individuals, the com munity, and the state, not to men tion the effect on the nation and the world. Local administrations would not have such large strug gles in meeting maintenance costs and providing attractive salaries to secure quality instruction. Students would not be unable to register for a course because of a lack of books, and with a smaller pupil-to-teacher ratio, more instructors could teach more subjects with greater efficien cy. While the editor realizes that these changes would be slow in com ing, it is felt that at least such aid is a step toward a better educated indvidual and society. Many citizens are very hesitant about giving the national govern ment a share of what is considered a channel of control to be main tained by local and state officials only. There is a voiced fear that Federal participation wall result in dictation of what and how to teach by the National government. Many of these citizens have school sys tems which from day to day live in doubt of whether there will be lighting or heat in the building, much less being concerned about its level of instruction. Federal aid would be used to subsidize teach ers’ salaries, and to help purchase necessary books and equipment. There would be no standardization of textbooks, classroom procedure, or methods of instruction. To argue against such help and at the same time to criticize the poor quality of American education is to abandon all reason. Surely, to improve a situation, something must be instrumented to bring about this desired improvement. While the peoples’ representatives in Con gress thwarted the passage of pro posed aid to higher education, five hundred thousand more students joined the registration lists of the nation’s colleges and universities. Patriotic Amercans are truly serv ing their country’s needs by pro moting such progress. Serenityf Courage, Wisdom “God grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, Courage to change things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.” This prayer is one that is not found in many hearts today. Too many times we as Americans find our selves trying to solve all the world’s problems when we can’t even solve our everyday ones. Too often we find ourselves thinking of all the poor starving people in the world and how we would help them if we were only in a position where we could. This in itself is good. But why spend time worrying about people whom we cannot help directly when only a few Mocks away is a family whom we can help now? We people of today are so busy grip- CHINEE CHUCKLES ing about the weather and other things over which we have no control that we tend to lose sight of the things we should be doing. What difference does it make? All the difference in the world. How can we expect to solve those problems facing the world’s leaders if we cannot solve our own? In seeking to solve earth- shaking problems we must begin some where and that is with our own lives Once we have accepted the challenge to make our own lives what they should be, then, and only then, can we dare to look ahead to bigger and more challeng ing conquests. How many of us are willing to pray “God give me the serenity to accept things I cannot change. Courage to change things I can, aid wisdom to know the dfference?” Hello Fliends; Chinee have most lalge ploblem. Is old ancle in Saipan who makee velle good junk.

And why is this so? Well, as far as the editors of HIGH LIFE are concerned, everyone at this school likes what they are doing and agrees with what they are saying pool.

And all because not one of you people who have been doing all this griping about the contents of your school paper have even so much as bothered to write a letter expressing your convictions on anything contro versial HIGH LIFE has come out with. HIGH LIFE has printed every last one of the letters it has received so far this year. And how many has that been?— exactly two! The readers of this paper must know that every letter to the editor will be printed unless it is abusively vulgar, of course. You can be sure of this. HIGH LIFE is not going to be what you want it to be unless you the subscribers let the staff know what you think ought to be in it, or what should not be in it. * * * 4! Though this column engaged in a lit tle good-natured fun regarding the Key Club, the Junior Civitans and their bill boards, it should be pointed out that no slander was intended and that these two clubs are certainly great assets to the school—the Civitans for their invaluable handbook and the Key Club for its ih- dispensible student faculty directory. “high life Published Semi-Monthly by the Students of Grimsley Senior High School Greensboro, N.
