6 A. Social Events Nation's Education System Of Cold War Editor's note: The follow. ing ii the second of two columni devoted to the Child Study Association'! t w o-d y conference on changing family patterns. By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York-fflPD-The nation's families have permitted our educational system to "be come an instrument of Cold War policy," said Dr. Harold Taylor, former president of Sarah Lawrence college. Dr. Taylor, now vice presl dent and counsel on educa tion for the Peace Research institute, Washington criti cized the family's acquiescent role in education in a speech before the Child Study Asso ciation of America. The association, observing its 75th anniversary, co-spon- sored with Better Homes and Gardens magazine a two-day conference on changing fanv ily life. The Peace Research instl tute is a privately financed organization gathering educa- tors and others in a program of working for peace. Dr Taylor said that Arthur Lar son, formerly with USIA and a speech writer for former President Eisenhower, is the institute s president. What Can One Man Do? The educator said the mod ern citizen Is faced with the dilemma of "having seen the possibilities for disaster ur survival" in this nuclear ago, but "sees no way in which his own acts can change the flow of history." "In consequence," he add ed, "the citizen Inclines to accept the situation in which he finds himself , . . accepts the pallatlves by which he may conceal from himself the reality of what con es next . . . "For example, the fallout shelters of New York where each can find his alloted space to die, the shots to the moon by , which one may distract oneself from the situation of the earth . . . . Arthur Godfrey says: "Keep New Clothes Looking New" So, of course, you want to keep new clothes looking new. Well, here's a tin one of the biggest clothing manufacturers gave me and 1 tell my listeners on my CBS Radio program insist on Sanitone Dryeleaning. Sanitone Dryclcaning gives you extras, like spots removed scientifically; minor repairs made; profcssional-ralcd press fit, shape restored and special finishes make the fabric feel new. So, for more than just dryeleaning, insist on Sanitone! 59 TRY OUR LOOK D. VWW : -jr MONDAY, MARCH 11. 1963 Policy, Is Charge How does this affect the family?", Dr. Taylor asked. His answer: "The effect has been for the families to allow the educational system to become an instrument of Cold War policy, and to sanc tion programs in which teach ers are asked to teach their children how to cower in base ments, their hands covering their eyes, in one of the most extraordinary displays of or ganized irrationality and in dignity which American poli tics has ever spawned." False Goals Dr. Taylor charged that day, under the "constant ad monition of public figures to eliminate frills of education such frills as learning how to live, how to enjoy a poem, and how to think for one self - the American family has joined the national race to compete with the Soviet Union in academic achieve ment." This, he said, is an achieve ment whose goals are set, "not by a conception of the educated man as an enlight ened world citizen, but by the ability to pass examina- Security Club To Hold Dance During the Wednesday meeting of the Security Ben efit club Miss Bernice Mahan, accordionist, and Eugene Ed wards, violinist joined the regular musicians for the club, J.

He charged that the Ameri can family is victim of . a neurosis . . . which "sacrifices the true purpose of education in favor of an obedience to the national will." "Where is there now room for growing up?", Dr. Taylor asked. "Where is there room for those hours of idleness and talk which can serve to establish a personal charac ter for the student who does not yet know who he is?" The educator said he was not arguing against the disci pline of work it tasks "whose demands are serious and ex plicit. ' "But I submit . . . that to identify the goals of life with the achievement of the super ficial triumphs of grade getting is to deny the value of life itself. Yet this is now the dominant mode of the American family attitude."
