SCOTT BROWN JOHN WENZEL Graphics Editor Entertainment Editor VOICES President Clinton is asking Congress to spend $210 million for another federal education program aimed at teaching third grade students how to read. Before we get all excited about doing something positive for the children, let's pause and take a look at the bigger picture. What does a child need to become an adult? If we exclude spiritual and nurturing needs, which only parents can give, the actual physical/mental needs of a child consist of six items: food, clothing, shelter, medicine, recreation and education. As consumers, we desire the highest quality of each of these at the lowest possible cost. In the United States, the first five items: food, clothing, shelter, medical services and recreation are unquestionably the best in the world. We have Vaccess to the highest quality goods and services at Jthe lowest possible price — a better delivery system •cannot be found. Compare these to the last item, education, where the US consistently lags behind the rest of the world. What's the difference? The difference is not "what" but "who." Q: Who delivers food, clothing, shelter, medicine and recreation to us and our children? A: The competitive marketplace. Q: Who delivers education? A: The government. Why do we have the best delivery system in the world, the free enterprise system, bringing children {everything they need except education?
