A Thing To Teach The National School Boards Association convention held in St. Louis last week-end spotlighted many of the newest features of education. It is interesting, and a little pathetic, to note that some of the newest things in education are some of the things we long supposed were taught in the home. One of the greatest needs in education is for youngsters to be taught moral responsibility. They must either gently or harshly pushed off the “fun kick” and taught that a democracy demands participation and concern by its very nature. . Taken as a whole, the young people of this nation are not receiving the training in moral responsibility that they should. It is a combined shortcoming of home training, religious training, and school training. If the shortcoming is not corrected, it will gradually cause the decay of the democratic way of life. While education itself is receiving more notice than at any other time, the purpose of that education is receiving less notice. A high school education no longer necessarily prepares a young person for life, but for college. A college education no longer necssarily prepares a young person for life, but for* making money, for gaining security. And, in this day and age, security seems to be our religion. We have to make sure we are taken care of. People in prison have security. The Russian people and the Red Chinese have security. But that’s not what we want. We want to have our cake and eat it too. We want the advantages of a democracy without accepting the responsibilities of a democracy. We are past the point of teaching the young people of the nation Away to think. We are at the place in time to teach them THE way to think. They must learn that the way they think is much more important than the way they look, and that the thinking had better be based on sound logic and good morals or they will pass on something other than democracy to their children. It is tired cliche that the young people of today are the leaders of tomorrow. But, tired as it is, it *■ is still true. If we fail to instill moral responsibilities in the young people of today, we can know what the future will be. And those who sit on their sidelines and advise others not to worry, that things have always worked out before, had better join in the worry. No one would dispute the fact that the children of today know more than the youngsters of previous generations. The concern of the next twenty-five years will be how they use what they know.

a , Easter Egg Trees At Public Library

(Editor’s note: Beautifully decorated egg trees are now on display at the Decatur public library for the 12th consecutive year. Origin of the egg tree and some of the background for such displays are related by Miss Bertha Heller, librarian, in the following article. The public is invited to view the trees and to add contributions of decorated eggs to the trees.) “The emblems of Eastertide are varied and numerous. They range from the fluffy day old chicks, the baby rabbits, the lambs, to the springtime flowers like daffodils. Yet the emblem which surpasses all in popularity is the Easter egg. Much has been written about the customs of Eastertime. The giving of beautifully decorated eggs at Easter time dates back to the early centuries. The Pennsylvania Dutch people decorated trees with colored egg shells. To revive this old custom Katherine Milhous wrote the book in 1950 entitled ‘The Egg Tree.’ The author was awarded the Caldecott award in 1951 for the best illustrated book for children. ‘'An Easter-egg tree sprouted

It has grown so large that now there is a tree in the children’s department and also in the adult department on the first floor. It has become so popular that groups of children and adults from the neighboring towns visit the library.

Lenten Message By The Rev. Dr. Ben Mohr Herbster President The United Church of Christ Written for UPI In every year in every place Lent should call people to repentence and faith; 1962 and America are no exceptions. The hatred, prejudice, poverty, injustice, crime, immorality found on our doorsteps express the sin of our world. Part of the guilt for that sin is yours and mine. Beyond that, unless our consciences are calloused, we know that as individual men and women there is a great gulf between what each of us resolves and what any of us. achieves;' between- the way of Christ and the way we live. How can we fail to cry out: “God be merciful to me (and to us>!” But confession, if it is be sincere, must be followed by i change. Contrition that does not ; eventuate in transformation is hoi-, low. But to change our ways is so difficult f It was true in the First Century and is still true in the Twentieth Century that the evil we would i not do, we do; the good which I we would do, we do not. Where' is there help and hope? Our hope in every age is inl faith in God as God reveals him-[ self in Jesus Christ. So beyond re- : pentence we must turn to God, | for in Him “we are more than | conquerors.’ ’This faith in God is I the source of the new life awaiting every one of us in 1962. This new life Lent can bring to us in America and everywhere.
