Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - April 10, 1961, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news partly Cloudy vol. 83, no. 81mt. Pleasant Iowa monday evening april 10, 1961 these Days by Georgc e. Sokolsky a theory of religion o i j. Milam pastor of the Baptist Church of Elpaso Texas writes me i am very interested in your editorials on Federal Aid to education. A would you please expound further upon your ideas of what would become of the Public school system if Federal Aid is granted to parochial schools. Quot it seems that the moment this Federal Aid is granted parochial education whether in the form of a gift or As a Low interest loan there would be a mad scramble of All denominations and churches to grab the Money to build their own educational systems and to withdraw their denominational students and teachers out of the Public schools to fill their Church schools. A the Public school system would become overnight a mutilated Dent body controlled by a decapitated head. Then would follow a vicious Competition of denominations that would make the holy wars look like a sunday school picnic and the Federal Treasury look like a shambles. What is the answer Quot Tho View Here seems to be that the various denominations exist to grab Money and that the Competition Between them has nothing to do with ideas principles Hopes aspirations beliefs it would seem that churches exist Only to scramble for Money. Tills View is difficult to underhand because religion exists As a moral equivalent its purpose is the building and self policing of character based on the natural Law this is True of All religions and there have been mind reds of expressions of an Identie concept in the history of Man the insistence upon a monolithic educational system is undoubtedly due to the current fashion of conformity of everybody believing the same thing. Perhaps this intensive conformity is due to television where conforming advertisements Are Over dramatized. The other Day. I was listening to an advertisement about a detergent that s used in a washing machine and n a few minutes i heard another advertisement say approximately the same thing about another detergent. The Assumption that All education must of it uniform and identical is not wholesome. There Are varieties of approach to knowledge and to the building of character. One of the important deficiencies of our time is the Lack of respect for parents which is traceable to Lack of religious and moral training. Children grow full of Wisdom at an Early age but often become Dull As they Advance into adult years. They reject guidance except from a Friend a that is a child their own age. Adults including parents Are squares. Manners Are deliberately vulgar Zed As a Mark of Independence. Go to most University campuses and note the manners and Demea nors of our future leaders. Somewhat of a change for the better is taking place but sloppiness is still the Vogue dirty shoes unkempt faces improper dress is still the fashion. This represents a Type of mind it bespeaks a act godless life it is a product of a pragmatic form of education which leaves moral values to tie individual who in Many courses is told about the preeminence of society. But what of the family what of his immediate environment the family he is actually influenced to ignore if not to repudiate by the fashion of the times. Many parents to defend their children Send them to private schools to boarding schools to Church connected schools in the Hope that they May have the advantages of a moral training in school. Children prefer to be As other children Are. Those who play the streets May join gangs by osmosis. A child docs not ask for a birth certificate. He wants to play. He wants to find comrades in due course he will. The school which provides no moral guidance deprives the child of an advantage in life. In fact it imperils the child future. I write of these matters not with the aloofness of the sociologist who. Looks at statistics. I was sent to a Public school of a very mixed lot 1 of boys. They were of Many nationalities. Many religions varied economic conditions some of the boys grew up to be celebrated i murderers and racketeers some have become distinguished in gentler and More humane Man Liu. L1 lift.
