PAGE EIGHT Johnson Says Changed Thinking Necessary for Post-War Success "War is either a crime or a crusade," stated Dr. Walter Johnson, historian, lecturer, and political analyst from the Uni versity of Chicago, in a speech at the twenty-second annual Superintendents' and Principals' Conference in Schwab auditor rum Wednesday night. "There is no half way mark," he continued. "We cannot return to 'what has ,been. The world has changed and we must change with it. We must recast our think ing to meet new horizons." After the war the relation of the United States to the rest of the world must be decided by the public, particularly the educa- ' tional profession, according to Dr. .Tohnson. There are two courses to.•follow, he said. On the inter nal front the United States can work for a democratic progressive country or a conservative, mon opolistic America, Dr. Johnson lectured. Or on the world front, the speaker stated, there could be an international-minded nation or an isolated nation. Dr. Johnson traced the development of the conflict between monopolistic and progressive democratic America since the Civil War. Contrasting international-mind edness with isolationism, the an alyst said, "Lack of understand ing and public interest plays into the hands of isolationists and na tionalistic groups. An example is World War I. The tragedy of 1919 was not the war but our failure to win the peace. "If we are not to lapse into barbarianism," Dr. Johnson con cluded, "some nation must blaze a new trail along which there are no more wars and which oth er nations can follow. Let Am erica be first." Dr. Francis B. Haas, president of the Pennsylvania Education Association, addressed the group on "Changing of Public Educa tion." He discussed the role public school teachers have been play ing•in the war by aiding salvage campaigns, .bond and stamp drives, food programs, ration took • distributions. Speaking of complex postwar educational programs, Dr. Haas mentioned the rehabilitation pro gram for veterans, necessary vo cational and general education for war.: production workers and 18- year-Crld veterans, further educa lion: for teen-agers and older youth now employed in war islants w and.,demands.in, , nursery Schools, kindergartens, public fchools, and colleges for teach ers. • "We can take care of that by flexibility in the educational. tarogram,'!.....the speaker • stated. "New changes to take place will be• in home study, introducing 'slew. vocational courses, and :dressing pthysical fitness and V I • • a.•• ,:.'• • - '.* .: 1 • : • 1 -, • :;:,.... .. .Sumer .. ~ . . . ~. , . . . „. . .s /•`\ LE DRESSES , . . •• .

In conclusion Dr. Haas said, "Out of the grim realities of this world struggle and our own un precedented national debt is cer tain to come a public demand for economy in all public service. In thin state's practical value of public education care must be taken to conserve within the souls of men and women those cul tural and spiritual values which give meaning and purpose and reward for the toil and work ac complished. "As always, it will be the duty of educators to teach boy h s ow to and girls, men and women, live as well as how to make a living. A better education for a greater commonwealth of Penn sylvania must be provided." Athletic Night- (Continued from page one) Jack Riley battles A/S George Meeker in a heavyweight clash in the prelims.

Carmen was wounded twice in the six major engagements in which he participated. First cas ualty was a flesh wound in the back of the neck. When the wound healed, Carmen returned to the front lines. A stray bullet ripped flesh on his left . shoulder near the spinal column and perman ently disabled him. Evacuated from Guadalcarial by plane, Carmen was transferred to a base hospital in the Fiji Is lands. When Carmen had recup erated, he was transported to California by hospital ship. For exceptional bravery under fire, Carmen was awarded the Purple Heart, Gold Star, and President's citation. When he was released from active service, he wore corporal's stripes. Training has sent Carmen to Parris Island, South Carolina, Quantico, San Diego, Virginia Beach. Battle conditions were simulated at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; Puerto Rico; Samoa and New Caledonia. Practice dress re hearsals for the actual class were staged at the Fiji Islands. In the spring of 1943, Carmen was discharged as a disabled vet eran. After careful deliberation, he enrolled in the school of Com merce and Finance at Penn State. The Government is_ paying for his education under the provisions of the Veteran's program. Carmen admits that he is sat isfied with his choice of college, and admires the campus and friendly students. His new educa tion will train him for more sig nificant operations in the post war world, but his experience in this war will aid him in under standing the news of .the days and judging the developments at the peace table.
