Cope explained. There are two im
portant reasons for this. One is
that heat always makes all kinds
of repliles more active; the other
is that al this season of the year

WASHINGTON Mrs. Kliabeth
T. Hentle, American-born citizen
who testified to a Congressional
committee she had been a Com
munist and Russian agent, said she
never had been taught American
history at school.
This touched oil a new discus
sion among educators and others
attempting to determine whether
the American educational system
fairly presents American democra
cy to young Americans.
They argue thai it is essential
young Americans be taught Ameri
can history and the U. S. constitu
tion. Otherwise, they say. some
may be swayed by emotionalism
rather than by knowledge, away
from Americanism toward other
political philosophies like Com
unism. The U. S. Office of Education has
just completed a survey of state
laws regarding the leaching of his
tory and the L'. S. constitution.
Dr. Ward W. Keesecker. special
ist in school legislation, and How
ard Cummings. specialist in politi
cal science, of the Office of Educa
ton. say all states hut two now re
quire public elementary or high
schools to teach American history.
Law Requirement
Three-fourths of the states estab
lished this requirement by law.
In others it is required by a rul
ing of the state board of education.
The survey says that the two
j lhat do not have either a legal or
a regulatory provision tor Ameri
can history are Colorado and Mi
chigan although in Michigan the
teaching of civics, which presum
ably includes some American his
tory, is required.
In addition, the survey showed i
that all of the states except four;
have laws requiring elementary
school instruction concerning the
I'. S. constitution. The four lacking
ouch a requirement are Kentucky,
Maryland, Texas and Vermont.
But all the states except Ken-
l tucky. Maryland and Mississippi
require the teaching of the con
stitution in high schools. And even
in Kentucky and Maryland, where
the laws are lacking, there is a
state board rule that the constitu
tion shall be taught.
Fourteen stales require thai pri
vate schools leach I;. S. hitsory in
elenienlary and high school grades,
and 2(i require private schools to
provide classes in the constitution.
Dr. Keesecker says many of the
state laws and regulations requir
ing the teaching of American his
torv were placed in effect between
1923 and 192!) Patriotic and other
organizations campaigned for them.
Therefore Americans older than
Mrs. Hontley. who is 36 and has a
college education, easily might not
have been required to study the
two subjects But most younger
people undoubtedly have been giv
en the outline and fundamentals.
There are no federal laws on the
surjject. herause under the 10th
amendment to the constitution edu
cation is one of the fields clearly
left to the states. The Office of
F.ducation has established no pol
icy on history teaching because of
this constitutional provision.
But the Office of Education re
port, called - Education for Free
dom," says every American should
know the facts of history and es
pecially "that our federal and
slate governments have doubtless
provided more human rights, to
more people, .and over a longer
period of time, than has any oth
er system of government yet es
tablished."
It quotes George Washington:
"We ought to deprecate the haz
ard attending ardent and suscept
ible minds from being too strongly
and too early prepossessed in fav
or of other political systems before
they are capable of appreciating
their own."

Bulletin Discusses
Artificial Breeding
Movement In State
Extension Folder No. 73, entitled
"Why Artificial Breeding?" was re
leased by the State College Exten
sion Service this week. The publi
cation answers 18 questions fre
quently asked concerning the arti
ficial insemination program.
J. A. Arey and J. K. Brown. Ex
tension dairy specialists who pre
pared the folder, point out that
artificial breeding is not a new dis-
I eovery. On the contrary, it has
I been practiced by the Arabs with
horses for centuries.
In the United States, the move
ment started on an organized basis
in New Jersey in 1938, and since
that time more than 600 artificial
breeding associations have been
formed in 3fi slates. Last year more
than one million cows were bred
artificially.
According to the authors, the
main objective of artificial breed
ing is "to increase the bulterfat
and milk production of dairy cat
tle more rapidly, by making avail
able the blood of superior sires to
more dairymen, especially the
small herd owner."
The folder points out, for ex
ample, that it is possible by artifi
cial insemination to get 1,000 or
more calves f rem one bull in a year
as compared with about 50 by na
tural bleeding.
The publication covers such oth
er questions as conception rates,
comparative costs, when to breed
cows, and how to call for breeding
service. Copies of the folder are
available free from county agents
or from the Agricultural Editor,
State College, Raleigh.
