The truth of this neglect is beyond debate and it is especially disturb­ ing because the failure to do so is a threat to world, national and our own state security.

W e argue about spend­ ing a few thousand dollars for ed­ ucation which will lift man above the level of the animal while we spend billions in developing tech­ niques and machines and programs and men whose only purpose is de­ struction. We talk of closing schools in the midst of history’s greatest contest for the souls and minds of men. But some of us question force as a means of really settling human problems. Some of us know now, as did the man of Galilee, that if you want people to be nice to you, you must learn to be nice to them. It is the secret of good relations be­ tween the nations and it is the secret of good relations between individ­ uals.

Some of us know also that we can ill-afford to permit an entire segment of our population to grow up in ignorance. For what we save by our economics in education and by closing schools will be more than matched by expenditures for our reformatories and our jails and our mental hospitals and our poor-relief programs. i *Z2 2 E3 3i|l!gi On April 12 a man-made machine containing a human being was pro­ jected into space and girded this globe in less time than is ordinarily spent in a football stadium on a Saturday afternoon.
