Quality and quantity is not, possible, the critics sav, and if America is to save itself'and re gain its position in the world schoolmen must choose quickly be tween educating a few people ex ceedingly well and trying to edu cate a great number less well.

Strong objection to this view comes from Dr. James E. Stone 0:rector of extension, research and field service at Appalachian State leathers college, Boone, N. C. lie points out that it’s not how oiK dy a few are educated but how "el the masses are educated that enables a nation to survive and be come great on a permanent basis. Both ancient Greece and Rome leached the ultimate in educating the top brackets of their citizenry. As a result, great minds were cul mated which have made great con tributions to the world, many of which are still with us today.' Rut the masses of Greeks and Romans remained illiterate and both na tions fell. Dr. Stone repeats a time-worn nut appropriate cliche: “A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.” And in a democracy like odrs where the people rule, it's essential that the weakest link be plenty strong. The foundation of a free democratic society is the level of intelligence of the whole people— the education, enlightenment and understanding of all citizens, not just a few. There is no choice, contends Pro fessor Stone, the responsibility of a free democratic society is to edu cate everyone to the maximum lev el his ability permits. Emphasis should never be placed on any group more than the other —be it bright, average, dull or stupid. Contrary to what the crit ics say, each should and can be educated exceedingly well. The American way has brought homes, autos and other products in quantity and it can and is pro ducing quality education in quanti ty, contends Dr. Stone.
