J2JUCATI0ND. G. / * * Kiwaais Speaker Tues-

dayDavit C. Allen, supervising prin-

cipal o;' :ke Lake Placid Centra!School, spoke on "Post-War Edu-cation" at the Kiwanis dinner meet-ing at tre Homestead Tuesdaynight.

There are six areas in winch ed-ucation must work at the close ofthe war, the speaker pointed out.The firt.t deals with the matter ofnational Becurity. He said that,since youth is to shoulder the great-est share of responsibility in thereconstruction period, he must befitted for his job. In. receiving hiseducation he must learn how toproduce and how to consume in away to keep the nation strong andvirile.

The second phase of post -wav ed-ucauon must provide for the youthwhose educational program was in-terrupted by the w&r. The speakerexplained that modem warfarecannot tolerate illiteracy so thetwo million men now in tbe armedforces mast be given the chanceto study science and mathematicsso as to Vv.tr fit hi-. seU for tht*.ge of 3C.!i.e. Furthermore, post-*tr edticvioii must provide addi-. < ral inscription fir the 100,0^0graduates from the high schoolsbesides famishing some trainingfor an additional 100,000 who leavehigh school before their educationis complete. In the third place post-war education must also providetraining and re-training of the boyswho will return from the servicephysically handicapped and mental-ly disturned. He said this trainingmost 'be varied so as to reorientatethe men with civilian life.

Mr. Allen spoke with great ur-gency on the need for wholesomerecreation for the returning youth,as well as for oar youth now athome. He afcwwsed the importanceof satisfactory home life to sus-tain tbe boys upon their return.The fourth phase of the program,he said, should provide for adolteducation, some kind of an educa-tional program to provide a curri-culum of study for the person whodoes not have tbe opportunity toattend college. He predicted thatnight schools will be on the increaseat the close of the war.

The speaker at this point sound-ed a real note of challenge statingthat "graduation from high schoolshould not be looked apon us a per-iod of completion but rather as thepoint of commencement.** And post-war education should provide in-struction for those who want topursue further study. He called thisa needed "demonstration service.1

The fifth part of Mr. Allen's talkdealt with the financing of suchan expanded program which wouldhave to be shouldered in large partby the federal government withoutundertaking the management ofeducational policies. He prophesiedthat local taxes on real propertywould be raised, state aid increased,and the remainder to be furnishedby the federal government. Thespeaker added, "If we arc willingto spend billions for the killing ofman, why should we not be willingto spend equally as much for thesaving of man and educating him ?"The final phase of the talk dealtwith the responsibility which restsupon local communities. Since eachwill have different problems andvaried needs local boards must havethe power to adapt its own programto the urgency of the need.

Guests included Signalman Rob-ert Band of the coast guard andWilliam Hastings of Glens Falls.

GANGSTERISM FAILSTO REAR ITS UGLY

HEAD IN VILLAGEPofice Investigation Reveais That

One-Way Rides Were Admini*.twed At Dueipimc For RazxiagStudent*

Indignant parents who reportedto police that their sons were be-ing taken by older boy3 to theoutskirts of the village and beingtrade to walk home feel more atease now that investigation by thepolice reveals that tbe alfair wasjust a minor idea of haziug.

For a week stories hav« circu-lated afeoot the afreet that ganiT*sterism had suddenly invafed thequiet peace of the village. Some ofthe junior boys of the Lake Plft-cid Central school had been takenfor a "one-way ride."

Mothers apparently became al-armed and brought the matter tothe attention of Mayor Luke Per-kins and the police. According toActing Chief Lawrence MacDonald,questioning of the youngsters re-vealed that the older boys had in-vited their younger schoolmates forrides after the latter had contin-ued their jibes and raziings oftheir elders and of members of thebasketball team. The rides, itseemed, were readily accepted.When taken to the outskirts of thevillage the youngsters weie infor-med thai in payment of their un-just criticisms and previous pranksthey could get out and walk home.

(Several such rides took place,the youngsters apparently gettinga thrill out of returning to the village and relating their experiences,and the boys testified that theywere looking forward to more ridesin the future. Secrecy prevailedmore or less until the story had tocome out when some of the boysused it as an alibi with their par-ents to explain their prolonged ab-sences after loitering about thestreet after return from the rides.Some of the boys, who had neverbeen invited on the rides at all,wanted to be in on the fun andclaimed that they were among the"victims."

No action was taken against theolder l>o>b but Chief MacDonaldstated that it was impressed uponthem that their actions had notonly caused many mothers unnec-essary worry but might result inserious accident or injury. Theywere admonished to refrain fromany such escapades in the future.
