\ A DISTURBING
TEXTBOOK ANALYSIS
There has just come to my
attention a, highly professional
analysis of sociology textbooks
which should be read by dvery
school teacher, college professoi
and parent in America. It
brings to light shocking facts
about some textbooks now
widely used in high schools and
colleges of the country. The
author, Dr. A. H. Hobbs, pro-
fessor of sociology at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, says
some of the most widely used
sociology textbooks . are distort-
ing facts, using devious and
subtle techniques to convince
high school and college youth—
1. That religion should dis-
card mysticism, supernatural-
ism, ritual, and tradition and
“adjust to conditions of mod-
ern' society” by concentrating
on crusades against certain
economic and social conditions;
2. That educational practices
and principles which involve
discipline or drill, and the teach-
ing of traditional beliefs about
the government, the family, or
the economic system are inef-
ficient and harmful;
3. That government should
actively provide people with
security, equality, happiness,
and developed personalities;
that increased governmental
control over business and in-
dustry is the most important
step toward attainment of the
desired goals, but that such
controls constitute only one
phase of broader social plan-
ning;
Claims Without Foundation
4. That maldistribution of
wealth and income, and uneih-
ployment, are the outstanding
characteristics of our private
enterprise economic system;
and that government control of
business and planning by “so-
cial engineers” will eliminate
maldistribution and will pro-
vide people with security;
5. That social controls which
operate in relation to the fami
ly, religion, and traditional
forms of education are irration-
al and g|ve rise to “cultural lag;”
and that rationality should be
the criterion of social control;
6. That social controls in
America are no beter or worse
tMaff those in other countries—
which includes Communist Rus-
sia and Socialist Europe;

Thl* year again for the 12th straight production year—truck users are buying more Chevrolet trucks than
any other make. It’s plain to see that Chevrolet trucks out-sell all others because they out-value all others!
When truck users show a continued preference for one
particular make of truck, you can be sure that preference
is based on a single sound reason: It’s the best buy! I

mation anch motivation; and
fat personality Is formed large-
ly through “cultural condition-
ing.”
Dr. Hobbs cites other con-
troversial conclucions which
he contends are fostered by
the most widely used sociology
textbooks. In his work he
analyzed the content of 83 wide-
ly used texts which he consid-
ered as constituting the "heart”
of college and high school so-
ciology—the most swiftly ex-
panding course of study In
American education. His book
Is entitled: “The Claims of So-
ciology: A Critique of Text-
books.” The publisher Is The
Stackpole Company, Harris-
burg, Pa.
The Danger
Attention is directed to this
comprehensive analysis of so-
ciology. textbooks because if
sufficient numbers of today’s
generation of youth are weaned
away from the basic elements
in our American way of lifi
faith In God, odr Constitutional
Republic, and our private enter
prise economic system—some
form of Socialism will be estab-
lished.
This would be playing right
into the hands of the Commu-
nists and Socialists—when, as a
matter of fact, this nation’s
best hope for continuing free-
dom and progress lies in our on-
coming generation’s gaining a
clear enough understanding of
the value of these basic Ameri-
can elements not to be led
astray by doctrines which
would destroy them. America
has an unusually large percent-
age of its population in high
school and college—more, in
numbers, than all the other
nations combined. It is this
group from which our nation’s
leaders must ceme. Therefore,
it is this group that naturally
has the highest priority on the
Communist list for penetration.
