New Jersey Baton Twirlers
Given Advice: Stay Home
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) Seven
leen girl baton twirlers, whose uni
form ihrank to bikini dimen
sions, have been advised what to
do during the Memorial Day pa
radestay home.
The suggestion .came Friday
from Dr. Edward F. Kennclly, su
perintendent of schools.
The majorettes, pupils at West
Side High School, had complained
their I year old uniforms had
grown scantier and scantier due
to repeated dry cleanings.
"Improper," said one of the
girls.
"Immodest," said another.
"They have been altered beyond
the possibility of alteration," said
a third.
If march they must, the girls
laid they would do so in street
clothes.
Kennclly was sympathetic but
told the girls it is all right with
him if they don't march at all.
"After all, this isn't Pasadena."
he said.
The school head conferred for
in hour with other officials. Then
he announced he will consider
making new uniforms an item in
next year's budget.
An even firmer olfer of help
came from Samuel Sachs, chair
man of the Veterans Civic League
He said his group is ready to
buy $23 uniforms for the girls next
semester, if the school approves.
The League's aim: to get the girls
in shape for the big Veterans Day
parade next November.

By JAMES P. MITCHELL I
Secretary of Labor
(Written for The Associated
Press)
WASHINGTON (AP)-Within a
few weeks about 1H million boys
and girls will be graduating from
high schools throughout the Unit
ed States.
Some will Immediately become
members of the American labor
force; others will be preparing
themselves for additional training
in colleges, through apprentice
ship training and other education
al programs. But, whatever their
course of action, each of these
hoys and girls will in a very real
sense be highlighting once again
one of the critical problems of our
time: the relationship between
education on the one hand and
and employment and unemploy
mrnt on the other.
We have been learning a great
deal about the relationship be
tween education and employment
during the recent recession, from
which, I am glad to say, we are
making a very vigorous recovery.
These past months have shown us
again how important a good edu
cation and a skill are when the
chips are down.
Look at the figures for this very
last month. They show an unem
ploymem rate among unskilled
workers 2'k times as high as the
skilled worker. They show an un
employment rate among unskilled
workers as much as eight times as
high as among professional and
managerial workers. These few
figures tell better than a thousand
words the story of the great im
portance of getting the best edu
cation and training possible in
preparing for the world of work.
To those young people who are
now receiving their high school
Hinlnma. thi ilnrv t. nnrtirnlarlv
llllWI dm. Di-tauav, wiiuv incsc
graduates were completing their
current senior term, about 800.0001
of their colleagues were dropping
out of school, to their very great
disadvantage.
In a recent series of studies
which we have just completed in
the Department of Labor, the con
trast in the employment and un
employment experience among
high school graduates as against
dropouts was dramatically illus
trated. In study of almost 25.000
young boys and girls, we found
that the high school graduate got
better jobs at higher pay. The
dropouts experienced unemploy
ment rates that were anywhere
from 3 to 10 times as high as
those of the high school gradu
ates.
Thus, our urging young people
to stay m school and get the max
irmim amount of education and
training fits the economic facts of
tile.
The lesson that we have learned
and learned again is important not
only to the young people them
selves but to the teachers and the
counselors who work with young
people.
1 am concerned with the fact
that as I travel throughout the
country and attempt to pomt up
the importance of a good educa
tion and a marketable skill, I am
olten met with the query, "Why
do you keep urging us to advise
young people to get the maximum
amount of education and training
when we find that we can't place
some of our best people?"
It is true that there are some
occupations and some skills and
some areas where the going has
been rough. But, let me give you
an example of why I think educa
tion and training are so impor
tant:
Let us imagine that instead of
the year 1959 we were considering
this problem a quarter of a cen
tury ago in 1934. Or make it
193S or ISM. The exact year really
does not matter.
And. let us say that wt as
teachers and counselors were
visited by a young man with the
interest, the talent, the aptitude
the motivation to be an engineer
Now we know that at the time
many excellent engineers were
without any job at all some of
the lucky ones were. driving taxi
cabs or working at filling sta
tions.
How should we have counseled
this young man? Should we have
advised him in relation to the
time and current economic situa
tion? Or, should we have kept our
rye on t h e long-range ball and
counseled him in terms of engi
neering as a field winch wa:
bound to have an excellent prog
nosis for the future in view of the
basic long-term occupational
trends in the United States?
How mucn better our advice and
information would have been, and
how much better off that young
man would be, if our assessment
had been related to the basic
bng-range revolutionary trends in
mis country.
Today, -instead of a deep de
pression, we are back on the path
way of a substantial and signifi
cant growm. All of our studies
show that the major increases
among the various occupations in
our country will be concentrated
among the professional, mana
gerial, technical and skilled occu
pations all of them requiring
increasing education and training.
Our long-term manpower future
is one of exciting nolentialitie
Let us tie our star to this kind of
tuture.
