5-Point Morale
Program Here
"We'll Win The War, For Liberty Under God"-FDR
A five - poi^t program designed
to build citizens' morale through
training of students for coopera-
tion of the government during
the emergency, was launched in
,;thc Orange public schools this
Week, under the direction of J. W.
Edgar, city school superintend-
ent.
The five - point program in-
cludes the following: ■
1, Training in patriotism by
precept,0 example"* and direct
teaching.
2. Perpetuate in each pupils
the desire for maintaining the
four freedoms on which Amer-
ican democracy is based: a. Free-
dom of speech and expression: b.
Freedom of religious worship; c.
. Freedom for pursuit of happiness
and economic sufficiency; d. Free-
dom from fear-
3. Develop in each pupil the
skilis necessary for proper par-
ticipation in the social, economic,
and industrial program necessary
for support of the American gov-
ernment.
4, Teach all children the prin-
ciples of American citizenship
and to those whose maturity will
permit, the true factual condi-
tions involved in this present
emergoncy.
V 5. Teach conservation of re-
sources.
Each principal has been re-
quested to appoint a committee
of teachers immediately to build
a program for each school.
"With the attack of the Jap-
anese upon the' United States and
the subsequent declaration of war
against Japan by the United
Stated government, it becomes the
duty and responsibility of all em-
ployes of the Orange public
schools to give full cooperation to
our government in its program
for the defense of our nation",
Mr. Edgar stated in an official
Communication placed ih the
j. hands of-each teacher of the city
schools.
"As teachers, we became one
of the most important medifi
through which civilian morale
may be maintained during this
period of emergency", Mr. Edgar
stated in presenting the program.
LOOKING AT 1942 from this
short distance though 20 days
away should become a source of
-insjpiration in spite of what must
be endured in order to remove a
world-wide menace that will
bring the people closer together
than they have ever been- Those"
who have made observations sO
far give it as their opinion now
that Orange people are closer to-
gether than they have ever been.
Every Man and Woman can
HELP. Register NOW for
Civilian Defense at Old Court
