Freedom, Is Belief SAN FRANCISCO. July l.-UPl- A warning that "warring parties and anlona and ideologies" might go so tar . !, . as to eause a large part of the people to welcome a social dictatorship" was brought to the National Education associa tion tonight by Edwin C. Conklin. Princeton university scientist and vice-president of the American Philosophical society. , : In an address prepared for the association's 77th annual conven tion, Conklin said "upon the teachers of America rests to a large extent the opportunity . and responsibility of making America safe for democracy . .". "The present crises, of tne world.- he said, , "are largely caused by the deliberate, training of people In bad habits or fear, hate,, intolerance, ' aggression, greed, wsr . . . ? : Conflicts Canse Loss . "We should not forget that it was the abuses of freedom in Italy and Germany, the paralysis of governmental and social serv ices by uncompromising conflicts among numerous political parties, labor unions, religious and social organizations, that led to the lim itations of all freedom. - "And similar things may hap pen here if our warring parties and unions and ideologies go so far in their abuses of democratic freedom and disregard of general welfare as to cause a large part of the people to welcome a social dictatorship." In commenting on school train ing, Conklin said "No amount of stimuli can cause a hens' egg to develop into a duck and no com bination of stimuli can convert a born fool Into a wise man . . ." but "I am convinced . . . that our particular . . . positions in society depend more upon social stimuli than upon heredity." Hints on Education He also said "the most im portant . . . enduring ... effects of education . . . are the forma tion of good habits of body, mind and morals. ... If the acquiring of . information is the chief aim of education, It must be eonfessed that it Is a dismal failure mea sured by its lasting results." "To be fit for life In society every child, as well as every dog, must be house-broken; there are certain habits of fair play, respect for the rights of others, defense of one's own rights, that mnst be learned. . . . The personality of the teacher counts for more In shaping the habits of pupils than any formal instruction." x Tonight's - program . also fea tured a talk on the "Estimates of Lincoln," given by Willard 8. Campbell of Philadelphia, in which he detailed Lincoln's social views as set forth by Lincoln and his biographers. ; The resolution committee sug gested, that "some federal agency provide forecasts of occupational trends . . for use in planning education programs," and moved that "an appreciation of the con tributions of all races, creeds and nationalities be actively promoted by school assemblies, ... class room teaching and by personal influence." Subversive' Acts Hit 5 The latter resolution was pre faced with a statement that the National : Education - association "views , with concern the growing activities of certain a g e n c 1 e s which seek to spread . . . the racial hatred and intolerance which have imperiled the peace of other nations. . The resolutions committee also proposed that the national group support a contention that "public education ... should be Inde pendent of all other governmental agencies," and moved that the association urge its members to "Inform themselves . . . in . . . civic and political life . . . and participate more generally . . ." Another motion endorsed adult educational programs. The com mittee also asked that a previous appeal for federal aid for schools 'without federal control" be re newed. . .
