Education For, Not Against
Sometimes we are so busy talking about the value of
education, t)hat we don't stop to consider education is a two-
edged sword.   It can be used FOR and AGAINST.
Tlie Communists are past masters in the art of educating against. Granted' that the first object of all education
is to train citizens, it follows that if these Citizens can be
molded into a tight mass of ingraining false ideas, by teaching hatred instead of friendship, by showing only one side
of the picture, IJhey become so cohesive that they can be
swayed, and used as one, ot the beck and call of the creator
of their collective mind.
In democracy it is the other way. We take the stand of
disputing all f acfcs until they can be prloven by the individual.
Our children learn to think for themselves, which is excellent if they have some standard by which to measure the
value of their own thoughts.
Socrates said, "Whom, then, do I call educated?   First. _ _
those who control circumstances instead of being mastered', library,
by them; those who meet all occasions manfully and act in
acdordance with intelligent! thinking; those who are honorable in all dealings, who treat good-naturedly persons and ^.^^ .ia LU uc „ocu ^
things that are disagreeable; and furthermore, those who chase of Records ^and^maTerials
hold their pleasures under control and are not overcome by
misfortune; finally those who are not spoiled by success."
(That is a true education.   If we bould put it into effect
in the world, we could solve the problems that have so long'ed iby "the Reverend Raymond
troubled mankind.   If we could control circumstances, and Steiger,   Pastor   of   St. Paul's
act intelligently, we could bring our accumulated knowledge i Catholic Church. Thisjwas a new

to the solution of our problems. If we could be honorable in
all our dealings with men of all classes, creed or color, and
treat with common sense those individuals with whom we
disagree as individuals, there could be no dissension or group
hatreds to stir up the lunatic fringe, no prejudice to hamper
justice.
_ Only as we educate toward this ideal the youth of our
nation, the youth of the world, can we bring peace on earth
and establish the principles of freedom and fair play for all
people. Unless we do this we will remain a prey to war
and to the ambitions of self-seeking despots who will arise
from the ashes of bitter strife.
The task is long and it is not easy but the end is worth
all it may cost. Education for good, education in understanding, is the only way out(.

"Knowing, Growing, Showing- and Sharing" will be the
theme of Canton Garden Center's eighth annual flower show
to be staged Friday, August 20 at American Legion Hall.
The North Canton playground system, consisting of
seven individual playgrounds, provides entertainment and
beneficial training for the youngsters of the community during the summer months. In fact it is considered one of the
best systems in the area.
Under he supervision of Mrs.
Wm. Schreckengost and seven
playground advisers, an organized program is conducted Monday through Friday from 9:30 to
11:30 p.m.
While each playground oper -
a't as individually, they follow a
similar daily routine. On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday,
various activities are (conducted
including painting, sculpturing,
working with clay, h'atmaking,
beltunaking, and playing games.

and television games examples

"visions" of things to come. Britian and France were expected to follow up the Indo-China peace with overtures
looking towards the admission of Red China to the United
Nations, but the reaction of international Communism has
given pause even to Churchill and Mendes-France.
.But nothing said or done at Geneva is likely to have
more influence than the ruthless shooting down of a British
airliner over international waters, and the attacks upon
American planes searching for survivors by the Chinese
Communists. The arrogance with which Red China has
ti'eated Uhe situation is enough to shock the most cynical
diplomat. Peiping has warned the United States to stop our
"provocations" oa- "suffer the consequences." Peiping has
also told the Brrtfish to limit their search for the destroyed
airliner to one plane. 	
This is the answer of Red China to the demonstrations! Richard Davis oi 407 Portage Street was appointed clerk
of conciliation and good will which were most marked on the of the Board of Education at a recent meeting of the North
part of Churchill and Anthony Eden, at the Geneva meet- Canton Board. He replaces Wil.is Baughman, who resigned

What's Ahead For Americans?
In a world of uncertainties highlighted by the H-bomb,
the A-Bomb and dire predictions of a C-Bomb, Americans,
like the rest of the world, have much to disturb us. But,
upon seemingly sound assumption that the world does not
intend to commit suicide in the foreseeable future, all of us
should be planning ahead for life and^the expectation of
posterity.
During the past year's time, our population has increased from 159,900,000 to 162,700,000. The last twelve
months have set a new record of four million births. With
all the talk of hard times, some of it stimulated by political
soothsayers, consumer spending throughout the nation has
dropped f i1om a record year of 1953 by less than 1 per cent.
In fact, our country spent more on homes, new housing, and
the family automobile than was spent last year. During
this same brief period, the movement outward from cities
into newer suburbs has affected (well over a million people.
More than one million new homes not located on farms have
been erected in cities and suburban areas. Incredible as it
may seem, we have t|wo and a half million more automobiles
on the highways than we had a year ago.
If these are not signs of a vital and expanding economy,
we just don't know how to read. The secret of stock market
rises is nio secret at all. It is based upon the belief in a continuing market and a continuous growth for the American
twa£6f:life;    ,„, .   ,. ,   ..   ,.:   , .
