On U. S. History
' Mrs. Oscar A. Ahlgren, president of
the General Federation of Women a
Clubs, recently said in wasningwu
that she had just one legislativeob-
jective for her two-year term. That
objective is to make American his
tory a required subject In high schools
and colleges in states where there is I
no such law already. .
Mrs. Ahlgren said she would have
a model bill on the teaching of his
tory drafted and hopes to get other
organizations interested in crusading
for such a law. She said the effort
would be bipartisan and had the sup
port of both the Republicans and
Democrats.
The United States Office of Edu
cation reports that about three-fourths
of the states already have laws re
quiring American history to be taught
in public elementary and secondary
schools but in about a fourth of the
country's states American history is
not a mandatory subject, even in
grammar school '
Mrs. Ahlgren feels that it should
be a required subject in high schools
and colleges and that students at this
age will be more likely to understand
and appreciate it than younger stu
dents. : '" ,
The new President of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs has se
lected a sensible goal. In some states,
where a large influx of immigrants is
experienced annually and where
American history , is not a required
subject, the residents, who of ten be
come citizens, actually learn, and un
derstand little of the great customs
and traditions of the United States.
Instead, they tend to remember and
follow customs and traditions of other
countries. ' 'v-
Mrs. Ahlgren will probably not suc
ceed in retting all of the states to re
quire the teaching of American his
tory in high schools ana colleges, one
will perhaps succeed in only a few.
In bringing this problem to the fore,
however, she is doing a service to her
country and is making an impression
on public opinion which, in later years,
might be translated into legislative ac
tion in various areas. .'
Sweden's Reward
The Swedish people got a taste of
Russian gratitude recently when two
Swedish Air Force planes were pre
sumably shot down by the Russians
over the Baltic Sea. The Swedes
remained neutral in the last war and
have attempted to remain neutral in
the "cold war" between the democra
cies and the Communists.
They . are now learning fkai f the
(Communists treat all those who are
not with them as against them, and
that there is no middle ground in the
worldwide struggle of ideologies. The
SwedeB, who have profited nicely out
of both World Wars, .without having
ensraeed in either, are reported to ibe
highly incensed by tile Russian acts
over the Baltic Sea. That they have
not been just as highly incensed by
Communist aggression, mass murder
and brutality toward other peoples is
not easily understood.
In viewing the Swedish scene,
'Americans should also remember that
a United States plane was shot down
scene of the reeent losses, in the
spring of 1360. AH three planes are
presumed to have been shot down by
the Russians, who are reportedly ex
perimanting with atomic and other
secret weapons in the area Involved.
Now. ' the Swedes are having to .oo
just what the United States did in
1950 accept the outrage and loss 01
men and material with no other re
course open to them short of military
operations. It is a case of taking the
slap in the face or doing something
about it. and the Swedes are not able
to do anything about it. In I960, the
United States was not prepared, and
the issue was probably not ao import-1
ant, as to demand U. S. military -ac
tion. However, one of these days ac
cumulated Russian acta of brutality
will bring about retaliation the
sians will remember a long time:.t
may be 'five, ten or fifteen years, h
eventually barbaric murders will toe
avenged. '.
