Political Trends . . .
For the first time in the history of this country the
majority of American citizens will soon be under the
age of 25 years. In an effort to determine political trends
within this coming majority, Northwestern University,
Purdue University, the University of Wisconsin and U.S.
News and World Repori have been conducting a survey
among American high school juniors and college juniors
in an effort to determine political trends among young
Americans. The results of this survey were reported
last month in Action magazine, a publication of the U. S.
Junior Chamber of Commerce.
Among the students surveyed:
—71 percent would deny an accused person the right
to confront his accuser.
—40 percent believe certain groups should be denied
the right to peaceful assembly.
—41 percent believe freedom of the press should be
cancelled.
—34 percent favor denying free speech to certain
persons.
—26 percent would allow search and seizure without
consent.
—56 percent voted for close government regulations
on all business.
—53 percent believed in government ownership of
banks, railroads and steel companies.
—62 percent said government has a responsibility to
provide jobs.
—62 percent thought a worker should not produce
all he can.
—61 percent rejected the profit incentive as neces
sary to the survival of free enterprise.
—84 percent denied that patriotism is vital and plays
an important part in our lives.
A number of writers, analyzing these figures, believe
they provide additional proof that the doomsavers are
not far wrong in their predictions of a welfare state in
this country. But more importantly, the results also
reveal the quality of courses in history, economics and
American government offered in most high schools and
colleges these days.
Then, too, the results offer an eloquent rebuttal to
the thesis that the minimum age for voting should be
lowered. If a majority of those under 21 do not know
what American government is all about, as the results
of this survey would indicate, it is doubtful that they
could intelligently exercise a right to vote.
More than anything, these shocking figures tell us
of the massive job to be done in the education of our
youngsters — not only in the schools, but also through
the business community. Freedom and free enterprise
are parts of a priceless inheritance. If these figures are
valid, our generation is tossing these assets away.

Sometimes our reasoning is in
clined to get somewhat out of
bounds, depending on how badly
we want something. There is an
old quote which shows how rea

another egg.” This is a practical
approach but leaves something
lacking in the credit due the hen.
