Teaching Values In Schools Riven By Real World Conflicts
The piece argues that schools struggle to teach values amid competing societal pressures and conflicting standards. It cites cases from Levittown and Twin Lakes, notes Allport's critique of abstract goals, and urges teachers to cultivate first-hand inquiry, civic virtue, and reflective criticism without preaching.

Postwar Idealism Has A Blossom Court Of Human Rights Hears First Case
The European Court of Human Rights, a nascent watchdog for liberties, has heard its first case. Gerald Lawless, an Irish national, challenged Dublin for detaining him without trial during a state of emergency linked to the IRA. The court ruled against Lawless, citing legality under emergency powers, while praising the tribunal’s role in elevating individual rights in Europe. The Convention of Human Rights, signed in 1950, parallels the U.S. Bill of Rights and aims to ensure free speech, religion, voting, habeas corpus, and fair trials across member states.
