Commission Urges
Fight For Better
Schools In Nation
Must Maintain A Construc
tive Work While De
fending Ourselves
Thirty-six prominent citizens
today called upon Americans to
continue to tight for better public
schools during the period of mo
bilization, and were immediately
supported by statements from
Warren Austin. Bernard Baruch,
General Eisenhower and Mrs. El
eanor Roosevelt.
The thrity-six are members of
the National Citizens Commission
for the Public Schools, a non-pro
fit organization to ecourage citi
zen participation in public school
improvement. The Commission
which has now been in operation
for about a year and one half is
financed by the Carnegie Corpora
tion and the Rockefeller Founda
tion. Roy E. Larsen, president ol
Time Inc., is chairman of the Com
| mission.
“Of course, it will be necessary
i to adapt our plans for our schools
to the immediate requirements of
our expanding program for de
fense," the Commission members
said in a public statement. “Rut
those who are in the fight for bet
ter schools should be alert to se
cure for our schools a top priori

activities that lies ahead.

which has been smoldreing for
many years and which cannot be
expected to die down in the im
mediate future. We are faced with
the necessity of simultaneously
continuing our constructive peace
time work and defending our
selves during many long years of
tension. If, by threatening us, our
enemies were able to make up
abandon the efforts necessary to
maintain and improve our free
society, they would by threats
alone have won a major victory."
j Mr Baruch, in commenting on
I the Commission statement, said,
I "I owe one of my greatest debts
to teachers of my boyhood and
feel that our teachers do most
for our society and are recognized
least They have moulded the
' charactei and conscience of the
nation and implanted our people
with ethics, decency, character
and the will to do the very best."
Mr. Baruch added: “We certain
ly must continue to strengthen the
role played by our teachers in
our schools Education will help
our citizens to distinguish be
tween truth and falsehood, and
thus better out chances for free
dom."
General Eisenhower said, “To
ne^lorl our school system would
be a crime against the future.
Such nettled could well be more
j disastrous to all our freedoms
than the most formidable armed
assault on our physical defenses."
“The lowering totalitarian men
ace on the international horizon
must not blur our perspective.
America will arm itself and sur
vive. But the gravity of our prob
lems and the resolution required
j to end them emphasizes again 1hal
Jour chcif resource is the American
citizen's inlelligenct and under
standing readme s and capacity to
do his full duty.
“When real peace is achieved -
as it surely will bo hi.wc.'er <1 s
tant it may seem this will !v a
nation of betlei citizens, more
conscious of their blessings, more
resolute in their responsibilities,
more dedicated to their freedoms,
if even in these crisis-days we are
vigilant that our school system [
continues to improve in physical
facilities, in the calibre of its
teaching staff, in education for
citizenship.
“Where our sehools are con
cerned, no external threat can
excuse negligence; no menace can
justify a halt to progress."
Mrs. Roosevelt commented: "In
spite of the necessity to increase 1
our expenditures for national de
fense \ve must not curtail expen
ditures for constructive work and
our progress in providing educa
tional opportunities for our child
ren. The success of democracy de
pends upon an enlightened citi
zenry and as the world grows
more complex, it is even more
important to continue out efforts
in the field of public education."
Mr. Austin said, "There need
not be world war, but the strength
of the free world must increase
spirtuallv and physically Ameri
can education carries a heavy re
sponsibility for contributing to
this strength."
He added, "As I see it. this
means that the nation must give
high priority to its educational
system The needs of the county
today cannot be met by schools
adequate only for the demands
of yesterday The quality of teach
ers and buildings must be com
mensurate with education s heigh- |

school system is considered. Ac-1
cording to the United States Of
fice and the NKA. here in the
situation of the schools today:
Classrooms - - half are over

.Teachers — 54,000 more needed

Causes lie mainly in World War
II, when the birth rate rose and
■ (instruction and repairs largely
.hailed. Teachers turned to more
I rofitable jobs during the war
:; nd inflation pushed up building
costs. •
In the next ten years, 500,000
new classrooms will be needed,
costing $13,500,000,000. without

tary and secondary schools will

well over 37,000,000 children, an
increase of approximately ten inil

The Commission added in ds
statement} 'There aie two com
pelling reasons for pressing our ef
forts for better education. One is
that thi.s work is yet far from
finished. The second is that this
work tests and measures the in
tegrity of our own democratic
purpose.
“It is our public schools which
must bear the main responsibility
for maintaining an educated peo
