President. Eisenhower Voices Opinion on Education Value ■TVTASHINGTON—President Dwight D. Eisenhower has on aev. W era! occasions expressed his deep concern over the status of American education. Here are some of his views on the problems facing the nation’s schools: “We must encourage the alleviation of the critical shortage of schools. We must provide better trained and better paid teachers ... "We must endeavor'constantly to raise l the standard of health >mong school children . . . “The academic range must involve the entire material, intellectual, and spiritual aspects of life ...... “The American public school is the principal training ground for informed American, citizenship. What is taught in the classroom today shapes the sort of country we shall have decades hence. ■ “To neglect our school system would be a crime against the future. Such neglect could well be more disastrous to all our freedoms than the most formidable armed assault on our physical defenses ... | “In the critical problem of adequate education, we must now undertake to help needy states build schools. Such help should be extended only where a state is doing its utmost but, because of inadequate resources or special burdens, is unable to dp the job on its own. I i “In such a the costs of maintenance of administration and of the actual business of teaching should be borne by the localities and the states themselves. That is their responsibilitA That is the American answer to federal compulsion. It ia an American defense against federal control... “Where our schools are concerned, no external threat (of war) can excuse negligence. No menace can justify a halt to progress . .'. v “In sthool, from books, from teaehers, from fellow students, you can get a view of' the whole of America, how it started, whati it is, what it means ...”
