MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1943. PAGE THREE Education Commissioner Points Out Value of Train ing and Aid to War Effort. By Dr. John W. Studebaker U. S. Commissioner of Education Washington, D. C. (Spl.) "Most children are being em ployed during vacations and after school hours, and at higher rates of pay, than at any time in history. This is commend able not only because, collec tively, they are able to make a considerable contribution to the war program but also because they are acquiring valuable, work experience. "But children who earn or who are given by suddenly pros perous parents more spending money than they can wisely handle will, after satisfying their relatively simple needs, turn to commercialized amusement ment which not infrequently leads to commercialized vice. Child welfare agencies attribute the startling rise in juvenile de linquency in part to lack of par ental supervision, including con trol over the child's earnings and expenditures. ' Big Sum Possible . "During the last school year, according to reports received by the treasury s war finance divi sion, children purchased ap proximately $300,000,000 worth of war bonds of which ?40,uuuv 000 was subscribed in the 'jeep' . drive of last spring. It is esti mated that the peak has not been reached and that boys and girls of school age could pur chase $500,000,000 worth of bonds a year. "This sum represents but a fraction of the $15,000,000,000 which the country Is asked to subscribe in the third war loan drive. But even if it were far less, the schools would find it of value to enlist the children's maximum support. "Here is an opportunity to stress the homely virtue of thrift, the wisdom of adding to a college fund, of building for a secure and contented old age, Teacher Should Aid "The teacher who emphasizes that the buyer, of a bond is an investor in his country is aiding in the creation of a citizen in terested in his government, and an interested citizen is usually a good citizen. "Using war loan materials, the schools can inculate some lessons in elementary economics, of which many adults appear ienorant under wartime condi tions. Children should under stand how excess buying power leads to competition for scarce commodities and how this re sults in price inflation and ' eventual disaster. "Most school children are old enough to be capable of under standing how this war started and -how we can win it only through sacrifice of human life and treasure. The schools can do no better than to point out that democracy, as a way ot lite, is not an inheritance which we mav cniov in perpetuity dui, rather, a trust which we must guard and, if necessary, fight to preserve.
