Americans really been under-

"There are thousands of men who will never oome back. It Is our problem now to make the parents and the relatives of these men realise and understand that what they died for was worth dying for.”
Bring any American back from his overseas cemetery and let him live for a while In the world as lt Is today and then ask him If he still thinks lt was worth dying for, Mr. McMahon. We have a belief that when he saw the greed, sacrilege and apathy still so prevalent now just as they were prevalent during the war years, our dead hero would wonder just what he did die for.
Surely you can’t tell the 250,000 dead men of this country that they died to make the world safe for democracy again. If so where Is the safeness and where is the democracy throughout the world.
Or did they die for the equality of mankind? The Jews In Palestine would be glad to answer that one for you.
Perhaps they died to do away with the ruthless Imperialism of Hitler which threatened to engulf the world. What Is the difference between German Imperialism of 1939 and the Dutch imperialism of 1947?
No, Mr. McMahon, you would have a _
that what they died for was worth dying ■ ■ ■ for. The millions of men who came back are wondering today it it was really worthwhile.
Let’s face it. America has let down both her dead and living soldiers.
God alone knows the exact number of those who died to assure this “victory.”
It’s still not too late to do something about keeping the victory. But let’s do it before it IS too late.—Jim Longcrier

Educator asks unity
Indicating that inadequate teacher salaries and lack of administrator understanding have caused tragedy In many of the nation's school system, Dr. N. L. Engelhardt of the SC summer staff Tuesday noon went behind the school surveys for the Administration club to demonstrate conditions which would not show up on the survey charts.
The associate superintendent of New York City’s schools cited cases of embezzlement by school officials who needed money and who were not straightened out by school board.? even after they reported their own actions. Voicing a strong warning before the school administrator group in the Student Union basement, Dr. Engelhardt declared, “Don’t touch public funds!” Completing his discussion by noting examples of cities that have attempted to bring school administration into the fold of city political government, Dr. Engelhardt brought out their failure to develop good school systems through politics. “We must learn the fundamental principles in education and stick by them,” he said. ‘‘There must be a constant struggle towards unity in education.”
Dr. Oilbert C. Wrenn, formerly professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota, will speak before the club next Tuesday. He will present “Four Essentials in a Guidance Program.’
