Signs of the Times

with contributions from L. C. Little, Lee J. Levinger

[L. C. Little in Chicago (Ill.) News]

John Jordan is quite right in saying that the way to Americanize America is to send children to the public schools. He omits a rather important detail, though. The public schools must themselves be Americanized first. They must be restored to their old ideal function. They must be institutions of learning, places where children gather to be taught, educated, developed; not places where they are herded to be handled, examined, vaccinated, turned into clinical material.
