Toward A Better Country The trend today is toward more and more education. It is a good trend, as a principle, but perhaps it could be improved. The improvement would not necessarily be made in the amount of time spent in education, but in the various requirements made by institutions of higher learning. It is well known that almost all colleges and universities have certain basic requirements before a student can go on to a major field. As the various national polls continue to be printed, it seems that these requirements should be altered. What would the reaction be if colleges required all students to spend at least half of their first four years of training in the fields of English, and American government and history? It would be as varied as there are students attending colleges. But the results might do a lot for this country. The English, which is required in varying amounts in every school, is a necessity for better communication between Americans. Better communication makes for better understanding, and a better nation. It is disappointing to hear many of the men and women who run some of the higher offices of this land attempt to communicate with the people they represent. And a good knowledge of our history, our form of government and our politics should be a must for every educated person. Education in a democracy carries with it the responsibility of leadership — in every phase of our life. And yet how many educated people are active in the governmental life of this nation, on a local level? One of the most important political jobs in our system is that of precinct committeeman. But how often does a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher or an engineer assume this responsibility? All of those professions make a definite and large contribution to our society. But think how much greater contribution they might make if they were all active in the governmental area. An intelligent, active and sincere precinct committeeman is one of the strongest assets of either political parties. The better this person can communicate with the people of his precinct, the better job he will do. And the better he understands the American system of government and politics, the better citizen he will be. . There has never been much doubt as to whether Americans will take themselves seriously. Whether they will take their country serious enough in the years to come remains to be seen. Editorial Writer Today -.>—John G. Heller

O- - ' —— n Summer Garbage Dear Editor: For the past several weeks something has been bothering me because it is contrary to my learning and home training. At school I was taught the importance of personal cleanliness and public sanitation. But lately the new city ordinance of depositing unwrapped garbarge in garbage pails has left me wondering what is going to happen when the hot summer days arrive. The few, warm, summerlike days of the past week gave me a good idea of what is to come. Even though the pails are covered, the garbage is- collected only once a week. Already the stink is unbearable when the lid is raised. If it is so bad now, what will it be like when our summer fruits and vegetables are ready to be eaten? Like so many other people my favorite summer fruit is melon, but I overheard my mother and several other neighbor ladies talking that it would not be on the menu as long as the remnants of them were to be put unwrapped in the garbage pails to draw flies, ferment and grow bacteria. Although I am only a sophomore at D.C.H.S. I have been studying biology and it seems to me very inconsistent Co spray our streets and alleys to rid them of these pests and yet by law we must maintain open breeding places for these very same pests!! - Undoubtedly, some people used the garbage pail as a “catchall” for all sorts of trash but I’m sure that by now most offenders have learned their lesson and will conform to the idea of just using newspaper to wrap garbage so it can be treated by our new and expensive sewage disposal system. I hope this letter will do something to ease this situation so I and others, too, will not have to go all summer suffering! Sincerely Sharon L. Miller 303 Oak Street Decatur a ... ■ • A landmark of the San Francisco Bay Area is the 275-foot tower of the Hover Institution on War.
