All-Time Peak of 63 Million Seen
Robert C. Goodwin, director of
the employment security in the
Labor department, has predicted
that 63,000.000 Americans will have
jobs during 1952, an all-time peak
in the nation's history The record
now stands at 62,600,000, set in
August, 1951.
Goodwin said 1951 was a year
“with full employment, the high-
est standard of living in history, cause the peak by midsummer.

and the greatest industrial
strength and capacity on record.**
As for 1952 he forecast employ-
ment expansion by mass hiring in
heavy industry as many industries
with big defense orders complete
tooling and designing stages prep-
aratory to volume production.
He said these demands, plus the
demands of agriculture, should

educational facilities.
For example, the median family income for urban or
city families was $3,068; for rural non-farm families, $2,-
462, while for rural farm families it was $1,462. Although
the income for the farm families appears to be surprisingly
low, it must be kept in mind that these figures represent
money income only. They do not include the value of farm
produce consumed at home and other income in kind which
farmers normally enjoy and which are an integral part of
their high standard of living. ,
The figures do, however, reflect the relative lack of
monetary support available to rural and small community
schools.
-

_ For many years educational authorities and experts have
been decrying the low financial support and “general neg-
lect” of rural schools. In any event, the fact that one-sixth
of our total population lives in rural farm territory, plus
the present high rate of mobility among the American peo-
ple, makes it clear that rural schools need to be strengthened.
Simply stated, it means that these schools must keep up with
the normal social and technological advances that constantly
are being achieved.
This implies a continued strengthening of the school
district system, better financing, wise leadership and super-
vision, better housing and equipment, and a high caliber of
teaching service in the rural schools. This last is the most
human and al the same time possibly the most difficult prob-
lem of all.
What profit and satisfaction can the teacher antici/Hite
from the field of rural education? W. M. Wilks, writing in
the “Oklahoma Teacher,” asked himself what he found so
attractive about rural schools and came up with this sound
and thoughtful answer:
“I like rural boys and girls. While rural children are
very much the same as other children, they exhibit certain
differences arising from background and training,
differences must be realized in
working with them'. I think the
rural teacher has a better oppor-
tunity to guide pupils and aid them
in overcoming their difficulties.
There is no greater satisfaction for
any teacher than to see the results
of his efforts in the growth in char-
acter of his pupils.
“I like rural people. I like
their sincerity and friendliness.
When 1 started teaching in rural
schools, I knew nearly everyone
within a radius of 10 miles of the school in less than three
weeks. 1 also like rural people because they usually welcome
a visit from the teacher. They are nearly always cooperative
when talking over a problem concerning their children.
“I like to live in the country. A community party, a fox
hunt, dinner with a neighbor, or a conversation about crop
prospects furnish more recreation and relaxation, at least
to me, than anything the city has to offer.
“It thrills me when a member of the community intro-
duces me to a friend as *our teacher’. I am proud to be a
country schoolteacher.”
The greatest asset our small community and rural schools
possess is the men and women who devote themselves whole-
heartedly to the task of teaching our children the things we
leant them to know. Yet, too often they, as well as the chil-
dren themselves, are compelled to work under handicaps
which are imposed mainly by a lack of adequate funds.
Money, in this case, does indeed
talk; and where it is available in
the form of a satisfactory school
budget, it speaks the language of
educational progress.
That section of the 1950 Cen-
sus report dealing with family in-
come casts some factual light on
this serious subject. Comparisons
of the medians for various popu-
lation groups bring out significant
differences between those groups
with reference to the problem of

SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS
of Main Street and the World
Average Citizen Is Saving More,
Sales and Profit Survey Reveals
PEACE TALKS—As home towners had expected, the 30-day provL
sscnal cease-fire-line agreement in Korea expired without final agree-
ment between the Communists and the United Nations in their peace
talks. As a result, it will be necessary to redraw the cease-fire line
whenever all other armistice points are settled.
Although progress in the talks has been slow, the over-all picture is
•ncouraging. Results are beginning to show.
First, and possibly most important, is the slackening of fighting, re-
mitting in a great drop in the number of casualties on both sides. This
policy is likely to continue as long as the talks are in progress, because,
Gen. James A. Van Fleet told correspondents: “We will not sacrifice
our men needlessly. What is the use of thousands of casualties if it is
questionable what good they would do?"
Second, the United States and its allies have a general idea, although
somewhat inaccurate, of the number of fighting men held by the Com-
munists in their prisoner-of-war camps. United Nations negotiators,
however, are still pressing for a full accounting of more than 50,000
unlisted Allied prisoners. The U.S. has asked specifically what has be-
come of 1,058 Americans not on the official Red prisoner-of-war list.
How soon a final agreement can be reached in the talks is anyone’s
guess, but distrust on the part of both sides will not hasten it. As an
example, the Reds charge the lack of agreement due to "extraordinary
antics . . . colossal bungling, criminal negligence, and master-race ar-
rogance’* by the Americans.
On the other hand, the Allies charge the “Communists have run true
to form . . . With few exceptions the talks have been marked by the
familiar Red pattern of delay, deceit, and diversionary tactics.”
PRICE CUTS—Rural and small town families, by far the largest
group of mail order patrons in the country, are wondering if the an-
nounced price cuts on thousands of items by the firms located in Chi-
cago is an indication of things to come during 1952.
Midwinter sales catalogues of the four biggest mail order houses
fa the business list lower prices on thousands of items. It is the biggest
cut in years.
One form cut the price on an 11-cubic-foot refrigerator from $262.72
to $212.75, a 25 per cent mark down on men’s shirts, and price reduc-
tions ranging from 80 cents to $2.30 on tires from last fall’s levels. The
firm also listed 400 price cuts on both wood and metal furniture.
SALES SAG—The Securities and Exchange Commission and the
Federal Trade Commission, in a report of business conditions during the
last quarter of 1951, said sales in the nation dropped under the pre-
vious quarter’s level for the first time since 1949. The report also said
the profit sag, which began at the end of 1950, continued with manufac-
turers returns amounting to 15 per cent before taxes and 23 per cent
after taxes. Sales fell off $2,600,000,000 during the period.
Only four of the 22 industries covered in the report recorded an in-
crease of profits before taxes in the third quarter of last year. They
were petroleum, food, tobacco, and apparel and finished textiles.
The commissions did not attempt to interpret the general decline in
business. It was obvious, however, that decline was due to a consumer
buying lull that started early in 1950, sharp increases in defense taxes,
shortages of materials and controls on scarce metals. Most observers
believe the trend can be expected to continue during the early part of
this year.
THE OLD SOCK—According to Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
the average citizen in the home towns of the nation are putting more
■nd more of their money in the old sock and keeping it there. He says
savings are greater now than at any time in the last five years.
Sawyer is all for this saving. spree of Americans—amounting to an
annual rate of $22,000,000,000—because he believes it has helped turn
the tide against rampant inflation. He warned, however, that if Amer-
icans spend these savings in a new wave of buying, inflatary pressures
will surge up again.
Personal incomes rose from $225,000,000,000 in 1950 to $251,000,000,000
in 1951. Now, in the early days of 1952, the rate is about $280,000,000,000.
GOP CIRCUS—The race of Republicans to secure the GOP presi-
dent nomination is taking on the atmosphere of a circus—so many are
joining the show that spectators are going to miss some of the acts. The
latest is Harold E. Stassen. Already active are Sen. Robert Taft of
Ohio and Gov. Earl Warren of California. Remaining to join the big
■how is Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, considered by many the white hope
«f the Republican party.
The other candidates had this to say of Stassen's announcement:
“Every American has a right to run for President and it’s well that the
Republicans should have a wide choice.”—Taft. “His (Stassen’s) candi-
dacy should stimulate discussion of national issues and he will un-
doubtedly be an important factor in the Republican convention.”—War-
Yen.
THE SUMMARY—Secretary of State Dean Acheson, whose popu-
larity with the American people has increased since the Japanese peace
conference in San Francisco, recently summed up the American foreign
policy for 1951. Dividing the global picture into four sections, he had this
to say:
Europe and the North Atlantic—The year 1951 was a period of prog-
ress and growth . . . The North Atlantic Treaty organization’s military
command has gone forward . . . The important decisions that must be
made early in 1952 have to do with the quantity and quality of European
military forces, German participation in the defense of Europe, and
creation of a European defense community and a European army.
The Near and Middle East—We lost some ground. The Suez water-
way and Iranian oil crises offer dangerous opportunities for exploita-
tion by the Kremlin. On the other hand, Greece and Turkey are bright
<»ts.
The Far East—In Korea, the UN must guard against a renewal of
Communist treachery, even if an armistice is signed.
The Pacific—The past year was one in which progress was made
toward building a structure of peace through a series of treaties with
Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Japan.
