First in communications, in motor vehicles per capita—first in many essentials to good living and prosperity. And directly related to that position of lead ership is our standard of education—for it has been shown that a country’s wealth and wel fare rise along with its educational standards. And countries rich in natural resources can he poor and backward without the ’benefits of education. Yes, the United States is a leader in the field of education too—hut for how long? Appalling conditions prevail today in many, of our schools. Many of our most brilliant teachers are working against odds—crowded classrooms, shortages of equipment and textbooks, long hours.
