Editors Letter Box On School Spending
A Maryland reader from December 3, 1957 argues for robust school facilities as a nationwide need. He compares local Hagerstown and neighboring state schools, praising modern gymnasiums shops and auditoriums, while urging broader programs and early investment, noting cost is an investment in national growth and a competitive future. He recalls prior lack of amenities like swimming pools and gym spaces, contrasts with wartime school builds, and stresses education of all citizens and support for science, industry, and space-age readiness.
