EUGENE -Freeing chil
dren's minds to seek for truth"
should be the most important
function of the public schools
in preparing students "to face
the future in a changing soci
ety," according to Dr. Grace
Graham, professor of education
at the University of Oregon.
Dr. Graham's opinion is con
tained in her new book, "The
Public School in the American
Community," recently publish
ed by Harper St Row, New York.
Teachers should be particu
larly aware of this function in
an age when many competing
special-interest groups are at
tempting to influence the
schools' curriculums and to
bring pressure in other ways on
the public school systems. Dr.
Graham wrote.
These attempts to introduce
special ideologies into schools
is a relatively new phenome
non, and may take the form of
providing free booklets and oth
er "educational aids" to schools,
subsidizing the writers of text
books, offering prizes to win
ners of essay and other con
tests, infiltrating the school

teachers, among other methods
currently in use.
All Sides Heard
Pointing out that not all
pressure-group influence is bad
and that all sides of a question
should be heard, Dr. Graham
emphasized Uiat teachers should
educate themselves to recognize
propaganda when they see it
and teach their students to rec
ognize it.
That teachers are not aware
of propaganda content is dem
onstrated by a recent study con
ducted elsewhere and cited by
Dr. Graham.
In the study, less than a third
of primary and secondary teach
ers found propaganda content in
a selection of "give-away" pam
phlets, while up to 100 per cent
of a panel of experts felt that
the purpose of the phamphlets
was propaganda.
Dr. Graham emphasized that
the schools "have no real quar
rel" with special-interest groups
unless they use methods that im
pede freedom of thought, disre
gard the rights of unorganized
or less well-organized groups,
take uncompromising, extremist
stands that make conciliation on
school policies impossible, or di
vert tnn mtirh school time from
j more important school business.
j Fail To Distinguish
' Teachers should guard against
i becoming so committed to one
i point of view that they fail to
I distinguish opinion from fact,
I Dr Graham warned.
"If freedom of thought is to
be preserved as the highest ideal
in American education, educa
tors must become critical of
! their own values," she wrote.
I "But teachers should not try
l to conceal their values, for thev
have the right to express opin
ions. Teaching without interpre
tation is sterile, but teaching
without a distinction between
fact and opinion is dishonest and
inimical to freedom of thought,"
she said.
