...questions before publication. Although every issue asks U. S. schoolchildren to think about how better use can be made of the nation's resources. Building America has thus far escaped serious attack. Scripps-Howard's New York World-Telegram denounced the Power issue as propaganda for public ownership of electric utilities, but that dispute wound up with Scripps-Howard's Editor George B. Parker eulogizing the magazine as "one of the best [ideas] in the whole history of education in America."
