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.
