A Banker's Viewpoint...
They're trying a new experiment in Philadelphia.
School pupils in 17 of the city's schools show up
neatly dressed, they march in lines to their classes, recite
the Pledge of Allegiance, and they study the 3Rs.
Emphasis in these 17 schools is on discipline, good
manners, patriotism and learning.
The kids who study their lessons and pass final
examinations can move up to the next grade Those who
don't are flunked. Report cards show ac lual achieve-
ment on solid subjects like arithmetic, reading, writing
and history.
The dress code requires neatness and cleanliness.
A principal explains: "Children act the way they are
dressed When they are dressed well they feel proud.
The tenor of school this year is much quieter."
And the children are learning more.
A great many people years ago could have forecast
such results. After all. schools did a good job for scores
of years by requiring performance. Results ebbed only
when courses were watered down, pas;
IKJ iJIL- ilv-Al
grade became a "right", and discipline relaxed.
What is especially heartening about the Philadel-
phia situation is this Parents of all economic levels, all
ethnic backgrounds, have given the program overwhelm-
ing support
Originally Philadelphia's school system planned to
operate only one "back-to-basics" school as an experi-
ment. Parents could send their children to this school on
a purely voluntary basis
Response was so great that it trok I" schools to
meet this year's demand, and many more are expected
to be made available next year
Nearly all parents, after all, want their children to
be educated, not merely passed through a set of grades.
And they want their children to behave themselves.
Philadelphia's experience proves these points,
as well as another more important one. Teachers in the
experimental schools, which have only returned to old-
time methods of teaching, say the children are learning
more much more.
Heartening, isn't it'.'
We believe in this country and its people Like the
writers of our Constitution, wc believe that the strength and
the real intelligence of government originates with the people
So we urge ill our citizens, here and elsewhere, to do our
part-keep up with public issues and send our opinion? about
them to our elected representatives

Moving can he verv troublesome. Especially when
you re off to settle the wilderness.
The roads were terrible. No restaurants along the way.
Why. the trip itself took months.
But. if vou were willing, the government would give
you land. Land that was bought and paid for with money-
raised from Americans taking stock in their country.
So thousands had a little hand in every homestead.
Today, millions of Americans arc still taking stock in
their countrv bv buying U.S. Savings Bonds.
Because whether you purchase Bonds through the
Payroll Savings Flan at work, or through the
Bond a Month Plan where you bank, you're putting
your money where it counts the most. For you and for
your countrv.
So buv t',S, Savings Bonds.
