AGE TBI Schools Play Large Part in War Effort Heroism and devotion to duty displayed since December 7 on many battle fronts by young men recently under the influence of public schools in the United States, afford a convincing an swer to the critics who so re cently were charging the educa tional systems with failure to in culcate in -youth a sense of duty and responsibility as well as ad herence to the American way, Eupt Frank B. Bennett of the Salem school system declared in n address at the Salem chamber of commerce luncheon on Monday. As for the response of the school system to war's nnprece T1i OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Tuesday Morning, April 21, 1942 dented requirements, be advis ed his listeners that the Salem schools have trained 2044 per-. sons for special wartime tasks;; including 1185 sheet metal workers, 192 wood workers and 214 machine tool workers among the major divisions. More than half of these had been trained before the Pearl Harbor attack, he mentioned. New requests for similar train ing have jnst been received, Sept. Bennett added. Just now students are being organized for group service in harvesting crops this summer, the superintendent said. Other war time problems such as air raid drills, protection of the school buildings, training all teachers in first aid, and dealing with in cendiary bombs, are being met,, he asserted." School systems face unusual problems of personnel and fi nance, the educator reminded" his audience. Many men teachers are being called into the armed ser vices and other teachers are at tracted by '. higher pay available in other fields. There is appro priate demand for economy in all non-military governmental serv ices including education, yet costs of school supplies, are ; no excep tion to- the rising spiral. Young people,'' should be en couraged to remain in school, Supt. Bennett said, against , the temptation to accept - lucrative but temporary jobs. Education. he concluded, is one of the funda mental bases of democracy; there fore education must go on, in or der that the United States mar not only win the war but assume leadership in the necessary re building that is to follow. 25th Ax Cut One of Hurts Oyer Weekend Twenty fifth ax accident treat ed by city first aid crew mem bers in" 1942 came to ttheir atten tion Monday night when James Vogt, 11, of 140 Hanson avenue, arrived at the East Salem fire station.
