Certainly the chief executive in his "State of the Union" address to Congress yesterday put himself plainly enough on record. It was a forthright answer to other prominent Americans who seem to have been wavering of late and tending to drop back into isolationism. Truman, at least, is emphatic that the United States frontiers are not to be .drawn lack from either Europe or Asia. It was notable and politic though' that the President did not deal specifically with the matter of sending forces to Europe which has been so much in debate during recpnt days. However, he was already on record as reserving the right to -fiend such forces if he deems fit without reference to Congress.

There may be jrsti'je in the children not haying to work too hard ut it is quite difficult to avoid some frustration. It is certainly useful for 'character ":hat one be good at something and not fail all the time. Save for some teachers, few will .oppose the application of the ne w deas in education. The children's vote looks solidly for no frustration. The parents are mainly concerned with clearing their offspring away to school-and in getting good reports, .as they seem likely to do under the system of not confronting students with tasks beyond their powers. The danger of the present trend is that the emphasis is on social development rather than intellectual development. Anyone could .argue all night over which kind of development is the more necessary. Too much thinking has produced A-bombs and too little social development has produced wars in which to use them. But the school system is the only public agency supposed to be concerned mainly with intellectual development. A civilization of Dale Carnegie customers' men would be .pleasant, but it could not stand up against thinkers. School is for learning to think. If school fails in this it fails in its main purpose, whatever else it may achieve. Educational experiments are a matter of the deepest concern to all. Probably nothing else we could succeed at would bring such vast returns as the improvement of children, unless it be the improvement of adults. announced this afternoon by C. P.
