...anxiety lest this approval be withheld. Riesman notes that from the walls of the inner-directed school, the ruins of Pompeii and the bust of Caesar often looked down-reminders of the past from which one learned the moral principles of history, part of the gyroscopic mechanism. These pressed stern standards upon a child -and many children were crushed. But the school for the other-directed has its own mural pressures. "The walls of the modern grade school are decorated with the paintings of the children or their montages from the class in social studies. Thus the competitive and contemporary...

John Holden Jr. to notify all Vermont's schools that "the teaching of religion in public schools as part of the regular schedule of instruction" was unlawful and must be stopped.

He complained of U.S. pressure: "For many years we have had a little American lamb bleating in Cairo, not helping and if anything hindering in most things. Well...
Thought for Each Day. In Japan, says Eells, Communism remains a powerful influence among teachers and students even though the government has taken stern anti-Communist measures. In the spring of 1950, at least 130 student Communist cells were registered with the office of the Japanese Attorney General. The total membership reported was 4,526, including more than 100 professors. More recently, the chief of Japan's security investigation reported to the Diet that there are 100,000 party members in the country, and that of these, seven out of ten are "young men and women in their...
